A1 Diner - Gardiner

What a pleasant and funny surprise! We were led through the city and had to take off for a breakfast. A quick scan of the Yelp app told us...

Excellent food and service - a Maine institution that consistently delivers. New Mainers here and look forward to making this a regular place.

Hadn't been there in a while, some good old diner food wanted and felt nostalgic. big mistake. New owners took over... the food is terrible...

Date July 2021 Time travel is possible at Gardiner’s Old Fashion A 1 Diner on Bridge Street! Salbe Diner Feeling, with good comfort food deserves a 4.5 review! Your menu offers several pages of breakfast, lunch and dinner at reasonable prices. My wife's Roastbeef package was packed! And good! I enjoyed a turkey sandwich with Cranberry Chutney, also good! Friends order meat loaf sandwich, and chicken curry packaging . . Both spoke very of the quality! Save space for desserts . . Taste as good as they look! Great service, thanks Alex!

I followed a friend's suggestion and tried this place out. The staff (waitress and cook) were extremely friendly and helpful. A1 offers a simple menu ranging from burgers, to comfort foods or healthy. I had the beet arugula salad with goat cheese and sliced almonds...DELICIOUS. I can't wait to go back again. Parking is available out back or along the street. Highly recommend it!
