Where is the best breakfast and brunch near me in Saco, Maine?

The Golden Rooster sits right on Main Street in downtown Saco, an easy stop off Route 1.

We have been cooking here since 1985. That is forty years of the same family running the same griddle.

Here is what you get when you walk in:

  • From scratch food. Batter, home fries, and daily specials made in our own kitchen.
  • Big portions. You leave full. That is the whole idea.
  • Fast friendly service. Coffee comes quick and the plates come quicker.

What is on the breakfast and brunch menu?

The menu leans classic American diner with a Maine twist and a few Greek touches.

You will find the plates you expect done well:

  • Eggs and omelets. Cooked to order with home fries and toast.
  • Lobster breakfast. Lobster benedicts and lobster omelets when you want the coast on your plate.
  • Griddle plates. Pancakes and French toast off the griddle.

Greek specialties set us apart from the chains. That is one reason folks drive in from Biddeford and beyond. We keep menu prices off the page until the owner confirms them, so ask your server or check the printed menu in house.
