Becky's Diner

Becky's Diner is a waterfront breakfast and lunch diner on Commercial Street that has been serving Portland since 1991. It is known for blueberry pancakes, homemade muffins grilled on the griddle, "loaded" hash browns, and the lobster omelette, with lunch and supper options like baked beans and franks, pot roast, and seafood chowder on Fridays.

The diner opens early, around 5 a.m., and the counter and booths fill quickly with fishermen, dockworkers, and visitors. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the owners say they use locally sourced seafood. Expect a busy, no-frills room with a lively crowd, and plan for a wait at the busiest times.
