The staff was friendly and service was quick. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! Love that you can order it all day. My kids also thought it was fun that we could watch the workers building boats across the street.
Great family diner. Diner food, local favorite, great prices, large portions. A gem hidden away from the main street is sure to please the most basic need--good food.
Southgate has been nothing short of the best budget diner in town for many years now, and obviously my favorite. I'm always satisifed whether it be the bang for your buck exceptional plate sizing, the service from any of the wonderful waitstaff, or just the comfortable atmosphere. Considering I've seen the staff themselves eat there on their days off and the Bath PD/FD/EMS eat there regularly, it's safe to say Southgate knows what they're doing. Southgate also offers a food challenge called The Frigate Challenge, consisting of a 12 egg omelet including green peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, sausage, bacon, ham, and cheese, a side of meat, a side of potatoes, and a side of toast. If you're more into the healthy side of things, there are many options for vegetarians and gluten-free folks too! Forever a loyal and frequent customer.
Found this place while looking to eat lunch before we went to the Maine Maritime Museum down the street. It's an old diner with very little seating so we had to wait awhile, but we were there during lunch and it's across the street from the Iron Works so I'm sure a lot of their business comes from there.
They have specials on the board, and I had fish and chips (haddock) which was quite delicious, and my husband had the chicken nuggets which looked exactly like the haddock, same breading. All in all, it was typical diner fare for a good price.
Update
Unfortunately Southgate burnt down a few weeks ago but they are planing on rebuilding and I can not wait for it to come back all ways good food big portions and friendly staff
Saddened to hear 3 days later that the building caught fire and is reported as a total loss. We were there earlier that same day. Photo shows the inside that day.
