Marcy's Diner

"Originally known as Lou's when it opened in the 1930s, this place then became Mike's; and now it is Marcy's. It's our top choice for a big, delicious, and inexpensive breakfast in Portland."
Michael Stern






"The $4.25 price of an omelet includes any two ingredients of your choice. Our choice, seen here in close-up, is chili and cheese. A perfect combination."
Michael Stern



"A view of the counter from one of Marcy's booths. This was late in the morning, between breakfast and lunch."

"Potatoes are boiled and cut every day before getting sizzled on the griddle in a bath of butter and margarine to become crisp/creamy home fries."
Michael Stern



"Chocolate pie: Each slice is one-quarter of a whole pie."
Michael Stern



"Where the people eat: a stool at Marcy's counter"

"Bring cash. Marcy's is not a credit-card kind of place."
