REVIEWS OF The New Moon IN Maine

Donna Piet

It was fantastic. Service spot on and food was great. Definitely going back.

Zachary Goater

This is the first restaurant that I've ever eaten at and looked back upon longingly thereafter. Had the Ron Swanson burrito and I ate the whole thing. Maybe not my best logical choice but certainly among my best culinary choices.

Kathy Lyons

Wonderful Fruit Crepes! I liked them so much I ordered a serving to go!! Even heard the train go by. Kids would love that! Down home ambience!

Ashley H

The food is pretty good. It is definitely above the average breakfast food. The place is small, which makes it pretty loud inside even when it's not super busy. I usually enjoy quiet when going out to breakfast. That said, the food is fast, it tastes good. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is friendly.

Heather Swain

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Jake Sullivan

The wait is definitely worth it. Food is delicious, try the Blintzes or the stuffed french toast, they are amazing.

Ron Jobel

Ate there 2 nights in a row first night meal was better

Cheryl

I really, really wanted to like this place because of the amazing and way above-average customer service. We called ahead for a table of 6 and were seated promptly upon arrival. Coffee arrived hot and fast, and the waitstaff was incredibly friendly. We all ordered our meals and they arrived about 10 minutes later. Some of the items were impressive (their French toast made with super thick French bread looked incredible!) My daughter ordered a Salted Caramel Waffle but it did not arrive with the rest of the order. She had gotten a side of sausage (thank goodness) because 10 minutes into the meal, she still hadn't gotten her waffle. We were told that the kitchen burnt it and were waiting on another one. She did get it when the rest of us had finished. The waitress told us she was going to take it off the bill and apologized for the mishap (again, super nice!) Other than the person who got the French toast, the rest of our group agreed that the food was simply sub-par. I love corned beef hash, but the one at New Moon left a lot to be desired. It looked boiled (most hash I've had is grilled with a nice crispy 'crust' on it) and was sitting in about a 1/2 inch of liquid that tasted like butter flavored oil. Not good at all. They gave us breakfast potatoes (about 6 small pieces) that were not seasoned and tasted as though they'd been made ahead and reheated. We were disappointed to see that the Salted Carmel on the waffles came from a Hershey's squeeze bottle...not homemade or authentic at all. The food lacked creativity, and was bland. Our issues with this restaurant came entirely from the kitchen. If the back end of things were as creative, lively, and friendly as the front end, this restaurant would have lots of potential!

Anna Stones

The food is incredible! Been twice now with family, and we've left impressed beyond expectations.

Thin Mint

The servers are absolutely incredible! The breakfast was good for sure but the real experience was the lovely and personable staff.

Todd Leavitt

Delicious food and friendly staff. They have a small dining room, so sometimes there is a wait.

Staci foster

Delicious, I try something new every time I go and we go very often. Killer eggs Benedict!!! A little pricey though

Martin Wiemert

Great little spot for breakfast. Try the cinnamon bun pancake

Dana Lyon

Cozy homemade breakfast. Crepes were delicious

Ashley Fitts

This place is DISGUSTING!! Not sure how or why it has 4 stars!! We got seated at a table that looked directly into the kitchen which was filthy! But on top of that I had perfect view of the grill where I witnessed the "chef" Pick up home fries with his bare hands and put it on the grill and then wipe his hands on his pants!! Directly after that he grabs a container of hash out of the fridge and again grabs a handful with his bare hands and puts it on the grill!! Needless to say I am 100% Dumbfounded and disgusted!!

Dan Perkins

Had the country omelet. Very good! Excellent service.

Caleb Valley

Irish eggs Benedict we great! Definitely one of the best breakfast spots in the area

Anne Morin

Food was delicious, and server was delightful

Scott Iddings

Excellent food! Great service. Everything was fresh. We are heading there to check out their brunch today

Jackie Chan

Very little steak on my steak bomb sandwich. Please put more steak! I had to consolidate it all to one half of the sandwich to get the proper steak:bread ratio

Brad Byther

You have to try the Mermaid Mimosa!!

Ginny Russell

Exceptional food and staff. We arrived for breakfast at 10:30 on a Sunday and had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. It was worth the wait! I got Lobster & asparagus benedict with extra hollandaise, baked beans and home fries. So delicious! A friend couldn't decide what to order and the waitress offered to surprise her. She got a blt with egg and home fries and she loved it too. Lazy Irishmen drinks were also super yummy. If you get the chance, eat here...you won't regret it!

Kamryn Mccormick

Great place

Raymond Gagnon

Wonderful little restaurant in Saco Maine.

Paige Dolan

Husband, daughter and I tried The New Moon as we were looking for brunch. It was easy to find and parking was relatively no problem....I imagine it could get busy in that area. The inside was very homey and nicely decorated. We were greeted and sat promptly. We had a great waitress Tina, but it seems the waitresses all work together as two other woman offered refills and delivered food ( sorry I didn't get their names) The menu was extensive for breakfast choices so much we opted for small amounts of many entrees so we could try a bunch. It was all hot and tasty!!! We will most definitely be going back for brunch and will try their lunch and maybe dinner on the weekend!!! Highly recommend checking this place out although I want it to myself.

Tomi Flowers

I've only been here for breakfast but the food is amazing. One of my favorite places to go out to breakfast. Service is good. The cafe is small so just be warned you may be in close quarters with other patrons.

Emily Sansivero

Great food, fun drinks. This place is great for brunch! The outdoor seating is also nice, on a little deck near the kitchen. Would definitely visit again.

Anne Baltren

This is my favorite breakfast spot. The pancakes are amazing and they have brunch booze. The place is tiny so sometimes you have to wait but it's worth it.

Suzi B

I heard the food is good. Cozy seating. If you have a large party (more than 2), you are going to be asked to wait until every single one of your party is there. Won't seat you without, even in the winter. Good luck getting seated in the summer.

Paul Bouchard

Good breakfast fare. Liked the home fries.

jamey bolivar

The food here is amazing great service very friendly. Fresh hand made food to die for

Andy Dolph

Amazing food, done from scratch, in house. Comes out looking beautiful and tasting perfect. Their stuffed French toast is very light and balanced. Made with really good Italian bread. They make their own corned beef hash, fruit served as toppings is fresh.... be prepared to wait for a table, it's a small place, but totally worth it.

Mike Robinson

Food was good. I had the breakfast burrito. Seating was a little tight or you could call it cozy.

Jennifer Kain

Best Belgian waffle in the area! Fresh strawberries! Ask for whipped cream and real maple syrup.

KariD143

This place is the best. Its family owned & operated & by a amazing family. The food there is total greatest. Everything made by hand and is very fresh. The service is incredible- they are all so friendly, welcoming, and just a blast to be around. Everytime I've gone to eat there's great food specials. There's something for everyone on the menu. You will not find a better place to eat. It's a must for any local or visitor.

jeffrey graham

This place is a hidden jem. Food is incredible. Highly recommend. I can say one thing negative is have extra time. They are a bit slow and it takes time to get your food. But it's worth the wait.

Debbie LeClair

Excellent food and service.

Benjamin Lascelle

Enjoyably cozy. Staff offer a prompt and courteous greeting upon arrival. They were very friendly, attentive, and cooperative - often helping each other to service and clean tables. The breakfast options were plentiful. Table service was quick, but did not feel rushed. A little seasoning on the potatoes could make them stellar, but that may be my own preference. I found the portion size of my meal (2 egg breakfast) to be just right. Some fresh fruit provided a nice finish to my meal.

Kayla Gray

Best Breakfast Around !!

Nathan Milkins

Great spot for breakfast. Small place so large groups are tricky.

Vincent Bellina

Always a great experience eating here. The food is always exceptional and the service is very good.

Joshua White

Good food, but slightly overpriced relative to the competition. Two wraps with coffee, no sides, came to $31. They were good wraps, but not that good.

G R

Small local restaurant, with nice atmosphere. Service and food were excellent.

Ashlei42

Only reason I gave this restaurant a 3 star the food is good. Had to seat ourselves and only one server on duty. Also very small so expect a long wait if busy.

johnny 5

Hostess was soooo rude .... food was totally overrated and greasy. Very overpriced for what you get which is mostly egg.... and grease... save your money and eat at IHOP yeah I said IHOP ... Totally overrated......

Kaitlin St. Peter

Best breakfast joint in town. Usually a little bit of a wait on the weekends but it is well worth it! Highly recommend the cinnamon bun pancakes and their home fries are so good!

Dwayne Paul

Loved the food service was great Natasha did a bang up job for us.

Greg Chartier

Love the biscuits and gravy!!!

Angela Coffin

Great food, great atmosphere and super nice wait staff

Dan O'Gorman

Nice atmosphere. Wait staff was super friendly and fun making it an enjoyable breakfast seeing that the food was also well prepared and reasonably priced. Breakfast would be the preferred meal here

Matt Whitman

Great service, great breakfast, and a delicious bloody Mary. I had the half-order of biscuits & gravy and a 1 egg breakfast, which were both awesome. Get the raisin toast!

Victoria Litalien

We stopped in for breakfast and the menu offered both breakfast and lunch. The service was swift and friendly. The food was amazing! We will definitely be back.

nicole lewis

Cinnabon pancakes were amazing!

Kaitlyn Friel

Never disappointed when I come here!

Brandhi Rivera

This place was AMAZING! Our waitress was super friendly. The food was on point and very reasonably priced! I will for sure be returning to thus establishment!

Kathleen Hope Peaker

I was so happy with my brunch at New Moon. I was by myself and saw so many things I liked on menu. So server said I could order ala cart and /or substitute other items for ones i didn’t want. That is unusual. The service was no fuss and very good. The food was super delicious. I had an egg white omelet with Swiss and mushrooms, biscuit and homemade gravy and one strawberry blintz( because obviously I couldn’t decide). This is going to be my goto spot for my meals I need with good food and solitude. Well I may bring a friend once. Oh and they serve alcohol too!! Bonus. Try this place you will not be disappointed

Natalie Gustafson

Bad food which is ridiculously overpriced

T Schmig

OMG pineapple upside down pancakes yummy!

Jordan Lambert

Great Sunday brunch, huge omelets and worth the wait for a table.

phil pmgannon

I had such an excellent dinner last night that we came back this morning for breakfast and it was outstanding, pulled Pork hash was the best I've ever had. Last night the four meals were all super good, ND steak was one of the best my friend said he has had in a long time, the Diver scallops were perfection. Don't miss the grilled ceaser salad. I don't give 5 stars unless it is one of the best, and it is in Saco ME. Very busy place so expect a wait.

Thomas Janzo

It was ok. Had a burger. Nothing to rave about.

Josh Cherock

Friendly spot, had a great breakfast. Lobster benedict was on point!

Tisha Brennan

Great food an staff are awesome an sweet

Craig Colby

This is my girlfriend and I's special place. Parking is rough, during busy times, but it's worth it.

Megan Forbes

We went yesterday around 10. It was fine. Luckily our server was friendly. My food was good, but my boyfriends pancakes were burnt and it was pretty evident the cook knew and decided to flip the burnt part over to hide it. The server didn’t check back until I was practically done my food. It also took 30 minutes to get it in the first place so he didn’t want to wait longer for the new pancakes that were offered since I was so close to being done. A table that had come in after us had been served food before us. Perhaps the cook forgot the pancakes and since it was taking awhile they decided to send them out and hope for the best. He ate one pancake that was slightly undercooked and didn’t touch the 2 others, I actually wound up having to share half my food because it took so long for the server to come back. They took half the pancakes off and no manager came over. I mean, we still paid partially for untouched food? If anything I heard someone in the background making excuses saying the cook makes them differently from some other cook. I mean, a burnt pancake is a burnt pancake. We really wanted to like it here because we live so close, but it was a just below average experience. Perhaps checking back a little sooner before it’s too late and not making excuses for burnt food. It wasn’t horrible, but we also weren’t impressed.

John Osterman

Great spot! Big selection, friendly staff, and delicious food!

paigeelise11

The food is fabulous here. It was all fresh and cooked just right. Our server was lovely and personable.

sam tarbox

Nice breakfast joint. Have not had dinner here since it was the Lily Moon Cafe. Very small place. Get there early or call ahead.

Angie Horeb

Spent my birthday weekend with my fiance in Maine and stopped here. Had high rating so we gave it shot. He loved it. He got the breakfast

Karl Albin

One of the best breakfast places in the area. If you like seafood and you like eggs; you have to try the Lobster Eggs Benedict. Prices aren't bad and portions are generous. Small dining room that's often busy on the weekend so plan a head for a wait.

nsc 8

I tried the potato salad there for the first time the other day and it was excellent. The Pumpkin Spice Creme Brulee french toast was great too. We always get good service and enjoy the atmosphere there.

Greg Morin

Lovely laid back atmosphere. Food is flavorful with ample portions. Service was pleasant.

Ira Moss

Very friendly, and food was awesome!!

Mia-Kay Fuller

The New Moon always has amazing service and delicious food. With my dietary restrictions, I’m able to accurately order whatever I need and feel comfortable knowing they’ll be making my order perfectly.

Lily C

Food and atmosphere is great. Cinnamon bun pancakes are to die for. Yummy!!

Kai Shraiberg

Fantastic breakfast but usually a wait

Katie Moran

Delish brunch!

Keri Thibeau

Fantastic service. Amazing food and our waitress could not have been friendlier. Will definitely go back.

Evan Wiitala

Food was good. Maybe a little more greasy than I would like but still good. Great mimosas. More than friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Definitely will go back.

Dale Lennon

Great breakfast... But way to crowded.

Emily C. Jones

Great food! Good atmosphere! Friendly service and available parking!

Robert Biggs

Great food with a twist. Nice atmosphere. Owner Neil Dumont has developed an interesting menu without being pretentious.

Melissa Ann

Shared a bunch of breakfast items and mimosas with my friends while passing through on a road trip. Everything was delicious and the staff was super friendly!

Cody Bill

Good service good bacon and amazing bloody Mary's

Jeremy Allen

I'm only giving it 2 stars because the wait staff were great. Very nice with smiles

Chad M

Had a great breakfast here. Service was great. Get there early though because it fills up quick.

Sarah Gabler

The cinnamon bun pancake was honestly the best pancake I've ever had! And the staff was above and beyond...I was super impressed with this place!

Jamie Blackburn

Great service and great food. Was looking for something fresh and not fried, and we found it.

Caroline Menard

Great selection, there is something for everyone, tasty coffee and plenty of refills

Gaston Bolduc

Breakfast was excellent! Nice and quick staff.

Kristina Campagna

Best food takes forever wotth the wait

Katelynn Monk

Been wanting to try this restaraunt for a while. Went there this morning for breakfast. It's a cute little diner with reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. We went with friends and both boys got the New Moon Breakfast and couldn't finish it (which is rare because they have big appetites). The home fries are delicious and the staff is friendly.

Brian Young

Food is great and fast and friendly service!

Joe Earley

Tasty fare and friendly staff

Ben Buckley

Very nice breakfast place.

Kat

Incredible food! And fast and friendly service!

Kevin Sutherland

The haddock was awesome. I had to take a bite before I even remembered to take a photo.

pwrdbyoreos

Had the Irish Benedict and pumpkin pancakes. Small wait but definitely worth it.

Adriene Fuller

Homemade corned beef hash!

lumber snacc

The best place to get breakfast in the OOB/Saco/Biddeford area by far. Consistently fantastic food with equally fantastic service. Though it gets really busy, turnover is quick and the slight wait times are well worth it. I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table and I have a great experience every time I go!

Steve Davidian

Love the food, love the staff

Timothy Murray

Good portions. Fair prices. Barely average service - had to ask multiple times for more coffee, asked for no potatoes/toast and received both anyway and also charged me for the fruit salad she asked me if I wanted instead after I said no potatoes/bread. Excellent omelette (ordered the Carnivore). Would go again, but not a destination for vacationers.

jackie marquart

Excellent food and great service! We've tried it for both breakfast and dinner and were very pleased. Meals are prepared to order by the owner/chef. Would highly recommend.

KEITH KAPISE

Great food, great staff.

Courtney Dexter

Food is great! such a cute little place. good service and its clean. How much better could it get tho really? I find myself eating here for breakfast multiple times when i fly home from out of town. Can't seem to get enough

Jennifer Lamontagne

Food was good but make sure to holler "hear!" when they call your name..... Waited 55 min for a seat.... Server called our name 3 seconds latter called the next name... Was wow 2 tables... Nope they skiped right over is as we are walking in the building

Jane Doe

LOVE THEIR. CINNAMON PANCAKES. I ALSO RECOMMEND THEIR BREAKFAST QUESADILLA. staff is a hit or miss. Theirs one server that always have a hangover while working in the morning.

Kelli Pontbriand

The food was amazing!!!! Our waiter Derek was the best...he really should be working at a high-end restaurant. The New Moon is very lucky to have him

Jennifer Trudell-Butler

Food was very good, cute little care with a fun vibe!

Fran Nelson

The food is amazing breakfast is a little pricey but dinners are reasonable. Food is fresh and delicious. I would recommend to all who are in the area.

Joe and Cheryl Campbell

Best food ever!

Kelsy Parker

Great food and better service! Morgan is always fantastic and made my kiddos laugh. Always my favorite spot!

Scott Anderson

Very friendly staff, good food. I got the carnivore omelette with pepper jack cheese and pulled pork hash. I think my only complaint would be lack of seasoning on the hash, it was kind of bland. Overall a good value with a friendly staff and relaxing, homy atmosphere.

Amanda Arloro

Small place, friendly staff, good food.

Matt C

Delicious food! We had a great experience here.

DeeJay DeEnay

Decent American/English breakfast and cafe food for a good price

Charlie Giammarco

Good potential. We were there for breakfast. We got the wrong order at first which totally happens. When we got our right orders my veggies for the Benedict were undercooked. My girlfriend had the French toast and the slices were easily 2.5-3 inches thick. They were so thick that the milk/egg couldn't get to the center of the slice, so the core was just dry bread. This might have been a one off and we will be back to try it again.

Brian Mixter

Great menu and the staff is very attentive

Shawn Sharkey

Does the great place for breakfast. Very cozy and quaint. Very countryesk

Nicolas St-Gelais-

Pancakes are huge!

Connor Capizzano

You will not find a better place to grab breakfast for the price, quality, and atmosphere. Main dining area is cozy. Servers are excellent. Be sure to check out the daily specials. Highly recommend the Spanish omelette!

Samantha Shepard

Always a wonderful place to eat breakfast. Friendly staff, very accommodating and fantastic food!!

Deb Walsh

Awesome quaint atmosphere and delicious food. Priced right.

sandi Malone

Great breakfast place!!

Davis Rawcliffe

Great food great service.

Jack Burke

Good fresh food served hot!!! Well prepared plates. Fun.

Dallas Freeman II

We had the eggs benedict and blintzes. The food was amazing. Our server Tina was super nice. If you find yourself in Saco or nearby, come here.

Tammy Dee

Terrific Food

Brian Harris

An unexpectedly sophisticated menu, friendly staff, and great food. Wish the hours went til 3:00.

Chris Taylor

They had an amazing special and if you're after a pretty extensive breakfast/brunch menu it's a great spot. The food took a bit longer than expected given how quiet it was when we visited but it's a great little spot nonetheless

Gina Snow

Delicious original selections #pumpkincremebruleefrenchtoast

Tyler Hutson

The biscuits and gravy melted in my mouth, the bloody mary was perfectly mixed, the bacon is a killer touch and last but not least Kenzie's smile lit up the room. All in all would eat again.

Jesse Legere

Service is excellent, the atmosphere is very friendly (patrons/owner/servers). The food is hands down the best breakfast I've ever had at a restaurant. Portion sizes are "man sized" haha. You'll definitely fill up! Great experience every time!

Michaela Venuti

The best breakfast! I had the 2 eggs with corn beef hash, the hash is homemade deliciousness. I also had one cinnamon bun pancake that was amazing. Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside! My boyfriend had the eggs Benedict with hash and he said it was a 10/10. The traditional mimosa and bellini were strong and tasty. There was a wait but it was defintely worth it and the staff is very friendly! I will be coming back when I am back in the area.

lisa melo

Excellent service, tasty food, super staff

Brooke LoBue

Always such great service, delicious breakfast food (havent tried their lunch yet) and a large selection of both mimosas and bloody marys

Maureen Grant

Very cozy place. Seasonal menu with big portions and the food is delicious. The chef takes pride in what he is doing. The service was wonderful.

Cinnamon Candy

My boyfriend and I both got the same thing. He didn't like it because the eggs were a too runny for him, but I enjoyed it. The pulled pork tasted like leftover turkey and stuffing, but it was still good to me. Our waitress was very nice.

Mindy Ziehler

Tiny little breakfast place big on tasty though. Waitresses are always very nice and your coffee cup is never empty for very long.

Josh Logan

Even on a Sunday morning at 9 a.m. the wait for a table was only 15 minutes. The food was amazing and came out quickly.

Jeremy Greene

Nice atmosphere. Good food.

Shawn Ramsay

Very good breakfast

Vinnie Gordon

Had lunch here today. A tuna sandwich was just that, bread and tuna. No tomato. No lettuce. Oh, they ran out of lettuce for the Caesar salad! And the dining area smelled dirty! I’ve worked in restaurants before and the floors get this rancid smell when not washed with a good cleaning solution. I’d find another place to eat!

Waylon Holbrook

Good food, friendly staff and cooks. Place is small and we typically try to do take out but they only do take out on select days. Not worth the hassle of planning food for family and calling to be told they aren’t doing take out.

Jenna Carlson

I've been here a few times for breakfast and it is my go to spot in the Saco area. Fresh ingredients which make a terrific meal. I've had an omelette with feta and spinach, carrot cake pancakes, and eggs Benedict. All amazing. The staff are super friendly. And they have mimosas.

michael wood

Homemade breakfast here is always on point I love the Irish eggs Benedict here.

Meghan Riley

The pancakes were fantastic!

Nikki Surette

Recently moved in down the road in old orchard and was looking for a nicer breakfast spot. This place is fantastic. The staff is welcoming, the prices are very reasonable, and even on a Saturday morning the wait was only a few minutes. My roommate got the cinnamon pancakes and they melted in your mouth, absolutely phenomenal. I got one of the seasonal special omelettes which was huge and came with perfectly cooked homefries and some well buttered toast. Excellent. Will definitely be back regularly!

Daniel Green

Great breakfast spot

Winston Spencer

The service was outstanding and the food was to die for!! If you're in the area make m effort to get here...you won't be disappointed!!!

eric essman

Busy when we got there, but everyone was nice and everything we ordered was very good.

Russ Hanson

Good food just pricey

Barbie White

Amazing food, service and atmosphere!!!

Sean Dean

Food was fine, but nothing to write home about. Service was very slow in spite of there being a wait at the door. Saw at least one party leave due to the wait even though there was a table for them, just took the hostess too long to get to them.

Sinister_rider 1

Great friendly service, the food was yummy.

Erin Lebel

Amazing Bloody Mary's!!
