My Five Favorite Portland Restaurants

All five of these establishments are reasonably affordable and provide reliably good food.

Hot Suppa
703 Congress Street

Eaten there at least 11 times, never had a bad experience. Good simple, well-made food at reasonable prices. Breakfast served all day. My favorite's are the Biscuits with Sausage Gravy and their Blueberry Pancakes...everything I have tried there is good.

Porthole Restaurant
20 Custom House Wharf

Open until 2pm 7 days a week, this old soda fountain serves a reliably delicious breakfast and lunch and you get a great view of the water, especially if you eat at the picnic tables
overlooking the docks. I really dig their haddock sandwich and crab-brie melt.

Flatbread Company
72 Commercial Street

Incredible pizza, fun and exiting ambiance with a
woodfired oven in the middle of the room, and an amazing view of Casco Bay. Here is a link to Phantom Gourmet's Review- Link

Silly's
40 Washington Avenue

Such a fun atmosphere, friendly staff and interesting, affordable food. (menu available @ link above). A great place to take kids and your college buddies alike.

Super Great Wall Buffet
198 Maine Mall Road

If you want a great Chinese/American buffet, you want a great Chinese/American Buffet. We go here several times a year and are never
disappointed by the food the service or the cleanliness. I wish the atmosphere could be calmer. If they could just dim the lights and darken the walls the ambiance would be much more appealing.
