Grand Central Cafe- Waterville, ME

Grand Central Cafe'

Waterville, ME

Hello, do you like pizza? 

Now, tell me, do you like mediocre pizza... or the good shit?

Well.. I don't think its fair to say you like "good" pizza if you haven't tried this place.

Grand Central Cafe' has the best pizza Waterville has to offer.

I may have even heard "the best pizza in central Maine"!

In all seriousness.. this place kicks ass!

They cook everything in a brick oven, WHAT?! 

They have an awesome selection of specialty pizzas and a build your own option.

They offer homemade, usually vegan always vegetarian, soup!

Also, homemade chili, salads, quesadillas, gluten free options, tons of local beers/soft drinks, homemade dessert (the carrot cake is to die for), and a warm and friendly atmosphere!

The other day a couple friends and I went there for lunch.

When they are open for lunch (thurs, fri, sat) they offer buffet!

Pizza is 2$ a slice and its serve yourself.

The slice selection is always great. 

Usually a little of everything, vegetarian, meat, pesto sauce, bbq sauce, tomato sauce, etc. 

Something for everyone :)

Here are a few pictures from my visit:

The buffet! I forgot to mention the kitchen is in the dining room.

Small, cute place and you can see the oven. Nice and cozy :)

 View from the back of the restaurant.

All tables are different. Some hand painted!

 The soup!

This day it was butternut squash and apple.

So good, serve yourself and once its gone a new one is made!

I highly recommend this place.

The owner is usually there and super friendly, as well as the rest of the staff.

Go give it a try! You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Early Bird Restaurant- Oakland, ME

Today I am going to tell you about a little breakfast/lunch joint in Oakland, ME.

This place is restaurant "home cooking" at its finest. 

One, if not the best, parts of coming here is from the time you sit down to the time you leave is about 20 minutes. This place is INSANE! 

Every time Brad and I order here we time it..

It is always under 10 minutes until we get our food.

This is nice because every time we show up the line is out the door.

Everything they serve up is done well.. very simple, good cooking.

They always have specials available and great desserts. 

Most of the staff has been working there for years and kill it. 

Another one of my favorite parts is they start serving lunch at 10:30!

I sometimes crave lunch and Brad wants breakfast... best of both :)

Last time I went I got a breakfast burrito for the first time. 

It was awesome.. 

That is one thing I have noticed about this place.. 

Every time I try something new I like it. Never disappointed. 

Nice and toasty..

Sausage, egg, cheddar cheese, onions, and peppers.

Of course, salsa and sour cream!

It was all melty and delicious. 

Big plus for me was there wasn't all the dripping crap that you sometimes get from a grilled wrap.

Well done Early Bird, well done!

My Love got his usual..

Ham, tomato, and American Cheese omelet with a grilled blueberry muffin.

YUMMMMMMM!

I alway steal bites of Brads food so I first hand can share how it was..

(thats what I tell him anyway, lol)

The eggs there are great.. they're always just thick enough to hold everything in.

I can't stand when the eggs on an omelet are thick and kinda dry. Gross.

The blueberry muffin is cut into thirds.. buttered.. then grilled!

OMG, talk about doing everything right.

Overall, Early Bird Restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast and lunch.

The price is always great. 

(usually 14-20 dollars for us)

The waitstaff are friendly and on top of their shit!

If you show up and the line is crazy just remember what I said...

They are so quick you won't be waiting for hours, I promise :)

Happy Eating!
