The only thing better than a warm, fluffy stack of pancakes is…an even bigger, even warmer stack of even fluffier pancakes. You know and we know it. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of places that you’ll want to consult every Saturday morning before heading out of the house for the best breakfast tradition that ever existed – weekend pancakes! Sure you could make them yourself, but if you did that you’d also have to ration your use of maple syrup and NOBODY wants to do that!
Blueberry pancakes are one thing, but strawberry pancakes are a whole new level of breakfast! You might know Front Room best for their awesome brunch or even dinner, but if you can manage it be sure to be there while they're serving the fluffiest pancakes in town. They're located at: 73 Congress St., Portland / 207-773-3366.
Miss Portland exists inside a 1949 Worcester Lunch Car, making the entire experience feel special. But, the pancakes are even better than the ambiance. Make sure you get them with plenty of butter! They're located at: 140 Marginal Way, Portland / 207-210-6673.
Most of the pancakes we love are filled with pancakes or chocolate chips. But the 'cakes here in Fairfield are fluffy enough all on their own. And they go great with a giant pat of butter. Check 'em out at: 6 Skowhegan Rd., Fairfield / 207-453-1371.
There might not be a more famous diner in Maine than this one. JUST KIDDING. We know folks here get territorial and full of pride when it comes to their local diner, but we do think this one deserves a place at the top of your list. The fried chicken is one thing, but the pancakes? They're worth a trip no matter where you live! Give them a visit at: 18 Franklin St. Biddeford / 207-284-0015.
Becky's Diner is hopping first thing in the morning when the local fishing community sits down to breakfast, but you're likely to find the place packed at any time of the morning. Their pancakes are not just fluffy, but come piled high. You can also order just one if you'd like to complement an otherwise healthy breakfast with something more fun. Visit them at: 390 Commercial St., Portland / 207-773-7070.
With a name like "Great Maine Breakfast" you know there's a pretty good chance that you're going to leave full and satisfied. There's usually a wait here, but you might manage to get a seat by showing up when they open - which is early! You'll love the incredible blueberry pancakes covered in local Maine blueberries! Visit them at: 15 Cottage St., Bar Harbor / 207-288-4166.
They have so much more than just a buttery, flaky crust! Dysart's has some of the best pancakes around. Be sure to get them loaded with bluerberries for the full Maine experience. And, of course, their special Dysart's maple syrup. You'll find them at: 530 Cold Brook Rd., Bangor / 207-942-4878
Bridge Street Cafe is known far and wide (and especially by locals) as one of the best breakfast spots in the state. They're only open during the summer season, which means they're likely to be busy most of the time. But it's worth the wait! Check them out at: 4 Bridge St., Boothbay Harbor / 207-633-7447.
Sometimes the best things come in simple packages. This spot won't give you anything fancy - just regular and blueberry - but when they're this good that's all you need. Visit them at: 2265 Post Rd., Route 1, Wells / 207-646-4441.
The freshest ingredients are what make the pancakes here so perfect. Get them with blueberries or chocolate chips to make them extra special. And, you can even find a gluten free option here. Visit them at: 650 Main St., Rockland / 207-596-2449.
Now that you’ve got breakfast covered, it’s time to move on to lunch. Try this sandwich shop in the middle of nowhere to truly maximize the day’s meal!
