Moody's Diner Neon Sign
Moody's Diner is a storied landmark and legendary eating place in Waldoboro, Maine. It opened in 1934 on Route One as a roadside food stand by Bertha and Percy B. "PB" Moody; it was expanded over the years at least twenty-three times.
Most of the fare at Moody's is homemade, classic Yankee cooking, with generous portions at low prices. In fact, at the time PB opened the diner, some food was also homegrown. He had a large vegetable garden, raised beef cattle and pigs, and had dairy animals for home use and at the diner.
Two books of recipes and reminiscences- What's Cooking at Moody's Diner - have been published to growing reviews. The Daily Times, of St. Cloud, Minnesota, wrote that "A stop at Moody's Diner...is obligatory as a visit to L.L. Bean's." The diner is especially well-known for its pies. In 1987 Gourmet magazine wrote the Chef de Cuisine to request the recipe for the Walnut Cream Pie, a real customer favorite.
In March 1998, the diner's neon sign was replaced by a replica, and sign collectors Dave and Lynn Waller hauled the original off on a trailer pulled by their 1967 International Travelall. The sign is on long-term loan to the museum.
