Classic old New England diner vibe with friendly staff. Excellent spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Love the haddock chowder with a fresh biscuit. Save room for a slice of one of their famous pies because "Pie fixes everything!"

The Seafood Platter was generous in size (plenty for taking home for another lunch). Fish was fish sticks rather than a larger fillet. Scallops and shrimp were delicious. The clams were tasty but would probably have bounced at least once if dropped to a hard surface. The French fries were excellent. Cole slaw (which I am not a huge fan of) was actually pretty good. Lots of crunchy cabbage and carrots without too much sauce in it. The waitress was efficient without being "naggy" during the meal. We got pie to go (looked too god to pass on, but too Fulton eat it now). Neat place with 1950s decor including lunch counter and wooden booth to sit in. Too bad the gift shop was not open to check out (closed Sunday and Monday I think)

I had the Rueben. My husband had the seafood platter. We finished it off with Blueberry Pie ala mode. We were surprised with a biscuit before our entrees were brought. They literally have the best biscuits I've ever tasted and I'm from the South. The pie was incredible. This is such a cute roadside diner. Service was great. Prices were budget friendly. Portions were large. We were just driving through or I promised I would be back for breakfast in the morning. I failed to take photos because I was too busy eating. Trust me. It's worth the stop.

As diners go, Moody's is close to iconic. Seriously, go just for the pie. Fresh made pies every day - like 30 of them in summer! Ice cream or whip cream really seals the deal. Classic diner with locals filling up the seating at the counter. A few booths on the left and tables to the right. Lunch and dinner specials every day - I recommend the classic turkey dinner around the holidays. The soups are great and made in house; turkey or chicken pot pie cant fail. Expect a long line in summer for brk and dinner. Go off-season! Easy parking in their big parking lot. This is a go to for me every time I'm on the way by on hwy 1.

What else you say about the penultimate diner? Moody's is everything wonderful that you expect from a diner. We were seated quickly, the service was fast and friendly, and the food was delivered unbelievably fast, exactly as ordered. All of the food was tasty and plentiful. This place has been around for decades because they just get it all exactly right!

This is an absolute MUST. The food was delicious. Our waitress Lori was very good, helpful, and just darling. The chili was very good, the meatball sandwich, burger and friend shrimp were good. Apple pie and banana cream were both yummy. The later was almost perfect. Never been to a restaurant that serves caffeine free Diet Pepsi. That was exciting. There is an ice cream shop and a gift store. Great stop!!!

Moody's Diner is a classic! I'd heard about this place for years before moving to Maine, so of course I had to try it. This being an early lunch stop, I went for the haddock Reuben--a new thing for me, even though I've been a Reuben sandwich lover all my life. How did I not know?! It's so delicious! It just works, and it's all perfectly proportioned with the cheese and the sauerkraut (from nearby Morse's, also so good), and crispy, toasted bread. While I didn't have room to indulge in any of their famous pies, I did grab a yummy slice of lemon velvet cake to go. I imagine this place is packed during high season, but since I was there in late March after a big snowstorm, the vibe was 100% local. The staff are welcoming and low-key, which I love; somehow, even though it was my first time pulling up to the counter, they made me feel like I was a regular already. And then the local dude sitting next to me started chatting with me about the storm and roads and all that normal Maine stuff, so as far as I'm concerned even though I'll always be "from away," this is a place I feel like I belong. See ya soon, Moody's!

Moody's has become a family tradition for us. Anytime we are driving up north and pass Waldoboro, a pit stop at Moody's is a must. This place is truly a gem with so much history. How lucky are we to have Moody's be part of our state. We first dined at Moody's two years ago and just fell in love with it. We love diners, and Moody's is the epitome of a perfect one: no frills, extensive menu, cheap prices, yummy food that makes you feel good, great coffee, and that ambiance that's so unique to diners in New England. They have plenty of parking and plenty of space inside, so even on their packed days we haven't had to wait more than 5 mins to get a booth or table. We love all of the seating options -- booths, tables, and bars are available. The menu is quite extensive. We've enjoyed their breakfasts and sandwiches, as well as their pies and biscuits (they're to die for!). The chicken parm sub, the Bertha burger, and the Reuben's are some of our favorite items from their menu. We are grateful for places like Moody's Diner. Thank you for being open for all these years!
