Breakfast beauty back in business
It's been a long time coming, but finally the moved, renovated and expanded Miss Portland Diner is once again open for business. I haven't had a chance to sample the food yet, but a peek inside at 10:30 this morning revealed that the place was packed, mostly with retirees. (Not surprising, since those of us still among the working world tend to be, well, working at that time on a Monday morning.)
The menu is extensive and filled with diner standards. Breakfast, which is served from 6-11:30 am, includes a variety of omelettes, eggs bennys, pancakes and breakfast sandwiches. Prices range from, $2.79 for the basic egg and cheese breakfast sandwich to $13.99 for the lobster benedict. I love the fact that you can order a side of Portland's own B&M Baked Beans for $2.49.
Lunch includes offerings such as JP's Famous Dirt Wings ($9.99), chowders ($3.79/$5.79), Greek salads ($6.59), turkey cranberry wraps ($8.99), corned beef reubens ($8.49), BLTs ($5.99), Maine crab rolls ($9.99), Mexican veggie burgers ($6.49) and chopped sirloin ($10.99).
Owner Tom Manning tells me the place has been absolutely slammed since it opened on Friday. I'm not surprised. You see, the restuarant is located next to a college dorm, a new office tower and a highway off-ramp, and, even more importantly, it comes with a name fit for a beauty queen. How could she not be popular?
