Ebb Tide (Boothbay Harbor, Maine)

Besides the fact that one of Bret's best friends lives in Boothbay, Bret also likes to visit Boothbay to relive a lot of past memories.  During college, he spent one summer in Boothbay as a camp counselor during the day and waiting tables at night.  Bret claims that he worked a ridiculous amount that summer but that he also has some of the fondest memories of that summer.

As a result, there are some places that we have to visit every time we are in the area.  One of those places is a tiny restaurant called Ebb Tide.  Ebb Tide is tiny with small wooden booths where everyone squeezes in for some simple but delicious food.

Ebb Tide serves breakfast, lunch and dinner but we always try to stop in for breakfast whenever we can.  Although their pancakes were severely tempting, I opted for their standard two-egg dish, which comes with a breakfast meat and a bread.  I opted for two eggs over-medium with breakfast sausage and a griddled blueberry muffin.

Bret ordered the same dish but with crispy bacon and a biscuit.

This breakfast hit the spot, especially after we spent the night before catching up with Bret's college buddies over quite a few cocktails!  Best of all, each plate cost $5.95.  This is seriously a bargain for that much food!

Ebb Tide is located at 43 Commercial Street, Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
