Solid three (that’s not bad…). I’d actually do 3.5 if that was an option. Since it’s not, I’m rounding up to four. I’ve wanted to visit Mae’s for a while but they’ve been closed the couple of times I stopped by, previously. Yesterday was the...day. The outdoor porch seating is lovely. I picked a corner table. Our steak and mushroom omelets were fine but nothing “special” per se. The sourdough was good. I really enjoyed the homefries. They were out of corned beef hash - the main reason we stopped in - chicken sausage and squash. Our waiter was proficient but not really friendly. The bakery items looked amazing but I can’t vouch for anything but their looks. I didn’t buy any.More

They have a big, beautiful outdoor deck with trees growing up through it. A great way to start your day. The pecan rolls were absolutely incredible! Not only were they large and covered in sticky syrup, but whole pecans covered every inch of the top...and we’re falling off the sides. I picked them up two days because they were so awesome. I did try the cinnamon rolls, but I didn’t feel they were nearly as good. Everything looked amazing.More

Good but it used to be great! Miss the crabmeat BLT, the Kennebec, the Sagadahoc, all those great dishes that were around for years and not anymore… It’s not too late to undo the homogenization of Mae’s!

I’m GF and Dairy free. I ordered the Trolley sandwich. A grilled chicken with bacon,avocado, lettuce, tomato and ranch. I requested no ranch and mayo on the side. The online menu showed the price as 12.95. The restaurant menu was 18.95. Turns out they were...out of avocado but didn’t adjust the price. Per usual I was charged an extra 1.50 for GF bread. I brought half of the sandwich home when I discovered spinach in the sandwich which I cannot eat nor was it labeled. No water refill. Acoustics were challenging.More

The menu and prices on their website do NOT reflect what’s actually on the menu. I had a Mae’s omelette that was mediocre at best, and the hash browns didn’t arrive until I had eaten most of the omelette. Coffee is of good quality, but...the cup barely holds 4 oz for $3. Our water glasses were never refilled, nor was my coffee. I have had the corn beef hash and it’s fatty and tough. Couldn’t eat it. If want to enjoy something there, stick to a bakery item, but go down the street to Cafe Creme for great coffee.More

Best food ever worth the wait ! Baked items we delicious and the corn beef hash was amazing. Lobster Benedict worth Every cent

I had heard only good things about this place and was quite disappointed. I had been in the space since it was Christina's in the 80's. They used the space much better. Mae's has jammed as many tables as possible into the space so one...has any breathing room whatsoever. We had a reservation for 10am on a Sunday. I will always try the corn beef hash on any brunch menu as I am partial to it. They were already out of it despite the fact they have two item on the menu that are centered around cornbeef hash and, again, it was 10 in the morning. The staff was trying their best but they were hopelessly understaffed and the kitchen was not what you would describe as "short-order". Needless to say it took forever to get our food. We usually go to Schoolhouse in Harpswell but they are closed for the season. My mother and I agree that the pancakes at Schoolhouse are fair superior. These pancakes were small and rubbery. Hollandaise sauce was thin and tasteless. The bakery is good. Potatoes and breakfast meats also tasty. This place could be as good as people say it is if: They used the room better, they got and/or used their staff more efficiently and they had a chef with more skill and imagination. Probably will not be back.More

We're almost always disappointed by both the baked goods and service. We've tried Mae's a few times over the years, and with the exception of the first time, always been disappointed. Got pastries for a wedding, and everyone thought they were disappointing; recently stopped for...coffee and both dumped out our lattes. And they're just not that nice, it always seems like a favor that they're even talking to you.More

Came in on a busy Sunday for breakfast and it was really good. We both liked the coffee and she had a veggie omelette and I had the breakfast quesadilla- both were fresh and delicious. Only issue was that it took almost an hour to...get our food so we had to have it boxed and eat it in the car as we were going to miss our flight! But it was very good food and we wished we were able to enjoy it at the cute restaurant. The staff were super nice and apologetic and threw in some cookies to apologize for the wait and I will say those cookies were ridiculously good! I would certainly give this place another try when we return. The food and friendly staff are worth the effort!More

Slow service, poorly prepared food and the coffee cup couldn’t get much smaller. I understand that many places are understaffed, but no one likes lukewarm eggs, and burnt hash browns. I ordered the Hunter’s Breakfast to try the corn beef hash. Nothing special but edible....I told the waitress I declined the toast “so not to waste it as I won’t eat it”. The toast arrived anyway piled on top of the eggs and hash browns and eggs. Waitress apologized. I asked for ketchup and it didn’t come so I had to ask again. By then the meal was unappealing. I won’t ever eat breakfast there again, but the pastries looked good.More

Under new ownership and management, Mae's has begun offering pre fixe dinners for special occasions. Most recently: Valentine's Day Weekend. The menu included a complimentary cocktail or mocktail, wine, sweet/tart salad, mussels, a main course of either poached salmon or filet mignon, and dessert of...either flourless chocolate cake or raspberry cream. Price was moderate. Service delightful, Each dish was a delight. Atmosphere enhanced by light jazz music in the background. A real boost to the area's culinary choices.More

We stopped for a late Breakfast THe food was real good and the service was as well. Waitress was friendly and efficient
