The Maine Diner is an award-winning family-owned restaurant, open since 1983. 

It is very humbling to think this little blue and white landmark is known around the word for our hallmark hometown hospitality, speedy service and hearty home cooking. And we are pleased to say that over the years the Diner has earned numerous accolades including: appearances on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, NBC’s Today Show and the Phantom Gourmet Show out of Boston; the 2010 Maine Restaurant Association’s Restaurateur of the Year Award; winning the New England Cable Network’s (NECN) Best Diner in New England contest; an appearance in the prestigious 2nd Annual New Orleans Roadfood Festival; and earning a top rating from the Phantom Gourmet in New England.

Our philosophy is simple. Treat our customers like guests in our own home. You deserve the best home-cooked food, in a clean and friendly atmosphere. That is one thing we promise we will never outgrow.

We are conveniently located on Rte. 1 North (the last restaurant on the right before Kennebunk) in Wells, Maine. The Diner opens daily at 7 A.M.
