👍👍 Got to sit outside on this beautiful day! We love that Erica's does breakfast all day! I don't care for breakfast foods but my husband loves them so this place is perfect for us. He got to enjoy his croissant stuffed French toast and I had a delicious haddock burger. Their fries are fantastic, crisp...

    Got to sit outside on this beautiful day! We love that Erica's does breakfast all day! I don't care for breakfast foods but my husband loves them so this place is perfect for us. He got to enjoy his croissant stuffed French toast and I had a delicious haddock burger. Their fries are fantastic, crispy just the way we like them. Soo yummy! We always enjoy their spiked ice coffee flights and I loved the apple cider mimosa! We also took home a piece of raspberry cheesecake, we were too full from our meal but couldn't pass up the chance for cheesecake! Yum 😋

    Good service. The food was good it's great a place that offers real Maine maple syrup it's crazy how many places don't offer it in Maine. Bacon was crispy just how I like it. Eggs were ordered over easy they were almost cooked perfectly. A little runny but still on point. I'm sure I will come back again.

    3 weeks in a row we've had the most personable expirence, we will always come back. Coffee flights are a must, waitresses are amazing, cooks are fantastic,and erica takes great pride in BOTH of her restaurants. We even get great laughs with our waitresses Today they even stayed open a little later for us to finish our food

    Charming, friendly, delicious. If your in the mood for a savory breakfast they Irish Eggs Benedict with house made corn beef hash is it! For sweet, try the stuffed French toast, always amazing. Fun cocktail flights too, great cold brew coffee. Parking is tight, sometimes you have to wait to park or get seated but that’s because everyone knows this is the place to go for breakfast or brunch.

    Took my wife there one Saturday morning after seeing the flights of ice coffee advertised on Facebook for weeks. They were awesome. We both had egg sandwiches on croissants, and they were great, too. It was a beautiful morning to sit at their outdoor seating area. That was great since there was a welcome break from the constant rain lately.

    everything was so great, literally the best steak i’ve ever had. they were nice, love the atmosphere. my only issue is hearing my waitress behind me talking about the mimosas she’s pouring being 3 weeks old. they weren’t very good and definitely tasted 3 weeks old.

    Great service with the staff. Adult and kid friendly. Plenty of brunch time beverages. Great breakfast and lunch menu for the location. Thw chicken pesto sandwich and fries are great! Young kids pancakes can come in the shape of mickey mouse, no request needed! Crepes are good too! Great service and food for the price. Will definitely be back for more.

    It was 95° out when we went in for brunch. It was warm and uncomfortable indeed inside. The food was ok . The Bloody Mary's were decent.

    Food and waitstaff was excellent. It was a little chilly. It was pricey for breakfast but good quality, homemade bread.

    Stopped here on a whim and discovered their almighty breakfast pot pie. Actually, I added the "almighty" part for emphasis, they just call it a breakfast pot pie. But it was mighty good. Added a little pepper also, but you do you and call it whatever you like. Say it isn't delicious though and I'm gonna argue with you about that. Only 4 stars for atmosphere because I was so busy with my breakfast that I forgot to have a look around. Seriously, I was so into my pie there could have been a dancer twirling around on a stripper pole in the middle of the dining room and I wouldn't have noticed. My waitron could have been a killer clown, I would've been oblivious- and anyway whatever, my last mean would've been excellent.

    Eggs were perfectly cooked. I had a basic breakfast and felt the home fries lacked flavor. I think a benedict would've been a better choice.

    Very high priced for a lunch. 3 of us ate lunch. 1 had a burger and fries. 2 of us shared a sandwich and the 2 of us each had a pea soup. Both on special. 3 of us had a single glass of iced tea. $10 for 3 teas. The cheapest beverage for a restaurant to make! After tip it was over $72!

    Unbelievably expensive. My jaw dropped when the bill came. $70 for 3 of us to eat breakfast and we didn't even get alcohol. They offer homefries but don't tell you it's a $5 upcharge per plate and it's this measly amount and they're greasy af. Homefries should be included with a $13 eggs Benedict. It's not like eggs and English muffins are expensive. I'm surprised they didn't charge for the glass of water. I wanted bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel, but they don't even have bagels. They don't use Canadian bacon on the Benedicts, they use Hormel ham you can buy anywhere. The food took almost 40 minutes to come, I thought they had forgotten our order. The wobbly table was driving me nuts and the interior looks so ugly and bland with dirty laminate floors and TJ max decorations. The coffee and food was delicious and service was excellent.

    We were fortunate to get a table as the place is very busy. The waitress was very kind and sociable, even though they were very busy. I enjoyed the food very much and spending time with my friend.

    I would actually give it 3.5. We did have to wait a long time for a table and for our food. The breakfast sandwich was okay but it seemed like perhaps it had been sitting quite a while as the bottom muffin was pretty soggy. I think they should either put the sandwich on a smaller plate or put an orange wedge beside it, or something. It looked pretty sad sitting on that great big plate. The server was good. She was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We got drink refills and she checked back with us to he sure everything was okay, even though the place was really busy, so that was appreciated. My Irish Benedict was tasty. The homemade hash was good and plentiful. I think the Hollandaise had split but it still tasted fine. The Cinnamon Roll pancake was a decadent, sweet confectionery masterpiece. The pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries and French toast were all good. Next time I go, I will find a driver so I can try one of their flights, and I will try to find a time that isn't quite as crazy as a Sunday at 10 am.

    Love Erica’s! My dad and I go every time he’s in town! The waitresses are all so kind and inviting! The food is delicious!

  • 5/5 Josh R. 11 months ago on Google
    I always feel like the menu is overpriced until I get my food and remember that you get what you pay for here. Lots of food and its pretty good. I hate their coffee. Which probably means it's pretty good coffee?

  • 5/5 Peter K. 10 months ago on Google
    Very much a breath of fresh air from all the fast food places that seem to permeate Waterville. Their menu is varied, food was well prepared and tasty. Thank you for a great breakfast!

    Very charming establishment. Our waitress was cold and not very personable, the food was nothing spectacular. My husband had sausage biscuits and gravy and felt everything was homemade and good flavor, I had the chicken and waffles the waffles are blah and then to be charged $1.99 for syrup I found to be ridiculous. My granddaughter had chicken pot pie and the only thing she ate was the topping because the filling was not good at all (3 of us tried it all agreed). I personally would never go here again.

    So, I don’t really want to write this review but I’ll share a short thing about my experience there. So the GF and I drove up from NJ and we got into the area around noon. So we looked for a place to eat and Erica’s sounded great. We parked, got into the place, ordered some coffees and that was all fine. Time began to pass and looking around I noticed many of the folks in the place didn’t have food. A lot of awkward, wandering, hungry eyes. It was still relatively early, figured they were just getting warmed up, fine. A half hour passes and still nothing, people are just starting to get their food. People that had been there before us. The waitress, who was perfectly nice, assured us our food will be coming soon probably noticing us becoming particularly unsettled. Another 20 minutes go by and no food. The waitress apologizes in the kitchen again. Turns out the folks in the kitchen lost our ticket, and seemingly did not care that they had. At that point we got up and walked out, full apologies from the very nice waitress (not faulting her at all, she did what she could.) Seemed like the guy running the kitchen was completely apathetic. Can’t say I’ll be going back for a round two. Hopefully this isn’t what normally goes on there but I figured this was worth telling.

    Chicken and waffles. Usually I love Erica's breakfasts, but chicken and waffles not so much. Waffles were heavy and tough and chicken was cooked well but NO seasoning. Think I'll still to other breakfast items.

    Food and service was great! The daily specials were fun.

  • 3/5 Dean B. 2 years ago on Google
    My only complaint is their home fries. They seem like they’ve been frozen, and are often undercooked. In my opinion, a good home fry starts with a raw potato and not from a plastic bag that someone else has prepared way beforehand. Why do you think they call them home fries? I know this a way to cut corners, but home fries can make or break a breakfast and a good restaurant shouldn’t cut corners anyway. Coffee is just above average, staff and service are way above. If Waterville had more decent options, I’d probably skip Erica’s. BTW Flatlanda’s and the Villager Restaurant use real potatoes for their home fries. Flatlanda’s gets my vote, but my wife likes Erica’s Eggs Benny a little better. The Villager is not up to my cleanliness standards.

    My brother and sister-in-law wanted to take me out to breakfast for my birthday and suggested Erica’s. I cannot stand pancakes and eggs bother my stomach so I ordered the Belgian waffle. First bite was dense and doughy, obviously made with pancake batter instead of actual an waffle recipe. Couldn’t eat it and waitress still charged us for it even after finding out it was inedible as a waffle.

  • 5/5 Margaret R. 2 years ago on Google
    The omelets are delicious nice and thick and full of what you want in it. My friends t like to go for the mimosas. It's a great way to start your day. Very friendly wait staff and you can see where some of the cooking is being done very friendly place
