"From the porcelain exterior and hardwood booths inside to the stainless steel panels, Miss Portland Diner, which has been around since 1949, is every inch the real deal. You’ll find all the usual diner suspects at Miss Portland—as well as a few unusual ones: satisfying, hearty corned beef hash with eggs and buttery toast; soups of the day (don't miss the white bean), and a sweet-peppery house-made coleslaw. Other signatures include the Shamrock omelet, stuffed with corned beef hash, grilled onions, and cheddar; or the open-faced Downeast Reuben, which replaces corned beef with fried local haddock. The giant cakes are all made by local bakeries." - Alexandra Hall
