Best Pies in Maine
You can't go wrong when you set foot in Moody's diner. The menu consists of standard diner fare, but always, and I mean *always*, leave room for the pie.

Moody's makes some of the best pies I've ever tasted - my favorite being the four-berry pie. Of course, you can't go wrong with any of their berry pies (my wife loves the rasberry pie).

If your find yourself driving through Waldoboro, save your appetite until you find Moody's.    [01 May 2001 15:16:20]

Tasty, Inexpensive Food
Not like a diner in Jersey or Philly where it tastes like all of the food is frozen or from can but one where there is actually some fresh food---this place is worth going to if you're up on route 1 (unfortunately it's not in a town but just plopped along the roadside rather than an appealing downtown).

Unfortunately it is definitely not 24 hours, especially on the weekends where they "stay open late until 10" or something.

So where do you go for food in Maine at 1 or 2 am?    [16 Jul 2002 09:54:52]

Moody's is Mecca to Me
I go to Moody's every year when I vacation in Maine, and this year I planned my vacation to make it possible to go to it as much as possible.

I am a trained Chef. I've worked in France, NY, and San Francisco, and am basically a food snob. However I had a great Grandmother I was fortunate enough to know well when I was a child, and going to Moody's is like having her feed me all over again. The old fashioned entrees served with home made biscuits warm from the oven, are like soul food to me. The pies and gingerbread are heavenly.

It isn't gourmet food. But it is made by people who love their food and love what they do. I can taste that love in every bite.

The service is friendly, warm, and fast, despite the constant throng of customers. My advice is to never wait for a table but grab a seat at the counter where the waitresses will charm you with their friendly banter, and you can watch the big steaming plates of food come out of the kitchen.

I bought their cookbook, and was dismayed by the constant use of "oleo", but I'm telling you, if it works for them, and it does, I'm prepared to suspend judgement.

I would highly recommend Moody's to anyone. Take a food trip back into time.

Oh, and leave room for dessert.    [14 Aug 2002 16:49:47]

Have You Tried to Turkey Salad Sandwich?
It is incredible. I know you are saying it's just turkey salad, but it is truly the best sandwich I have ever tasted.    [27 Aug 2002 12:21:55]

A Must
Brings a tear to your eye when you have to go. Our family has been vacationing in Maine for over 25 years and still to this day it is a must stop for breakfast lunch and dinner. Great food, low prices and friendly service. Something for everyone. I remember years ago my brother and friend drove from Clifton NJ to Moodys just for cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes. From the hot pancakes to the blueberry pie, a fixture in the Maine landscape and a must stop any time of the day and evening.    [11 Dec 2002 19:51:31]

A Tradition
We first went in 1988 and have been stopping at Moody's ever since. Some of the same wait people have been there the whole time. It is like seeing old friends. They are great! It is truly a summer tradition to stop and eat at Moody's!!    [21 Feb 2003 13:51:00]

It Wouldn't be Maine Without Moody's!
My family discovered Moody's in 1988, after spending part of every summer in Prouts Neck since the 1930s. We rarely ventured to midcoast Maine since Prouts was so lovely. But Moody's makes it worth the trip! It truly is food like grandma used to cook. Their pies are the most heavenly things every. And all their food is delicious (never tasted anything there I didn't love!), homemade and cheap! That's one of the best parts of the experience. I used to camp with my five kids (as a single mom) and could afford to feed all of them several times during our trips at Moody's. They also have great, quaint cabins on the secluded, pine-covered hill behind the diner - and those prices are amazing, too! Oh, forgot to mention - the service is always fast and very friendly. Don't know how they maintain their great attitudes with the crush of customers they get at every meal!    [31 Jul 2003 10:09:27]

Good Food at Reasonable Prices
Every day of the week has it's own special (i.e. boiled haddock in egg sauce on Fridays). The food was very good and very reasonably priced. Best of all, you have to try one of the pies.    [17 Aug 2003 22:18:02]
