Frommer's Review
Becky's has been written up in Gourmet magazine, but that obviously hasn't gone to the proprietor's head. This waterfront institution is in a squat maroon building of concrete on the not-so-quaint end of the waterfront. It has drop ceilings, fluorescent lights, and scruffy counters, booths, and tables. It opens early (4am) to cater to local fishermen grabbing a cup of joe and some eggs before heading out onto (or back in from) the water; later in the day, it attracts high-school kids, businesspeople, and just about everyone else. The menu is extensive, offering about what you'd expect: sandwiches (fried haddock and cheese, corn dogs, tuna melt) and a milky bowl of chowder. It's also noted for its breakfasts, including more than a dozen different omelets; eggs any way you want them; and fresh fruit bowls, pancakes, and French toast. Where else can you choose from among five different types of home fries? This is a Portland institution.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
