 Summary: Now this is a diner!
(4 crabs out of 5)


Paul- Admitedly the food here isnt the greatest, especially anything that requires too much attention while cooking. Though I do think the hot roast beefs, any breakfast with eggs, the most of the pies, and most imporatntly the coffee are good. Those meals are pretty much the heart and soul of diner food in my opinion so if you stick with those you should be pretty happy. The atmosphere is great if you like that real diner feel, and there isnt usually a crowd. It can be pleasantly full but rarely more than that. Also if I'm not mistaken its 24-7 which is also a must for any diner. Its perfect for a late-night hang out with friends for desert (or early breakfast depending on the night) and coffee. Finally I personally love the service. Sure the waitresses can be grumpy at times but they almost always call you 'Hon', which is very important in the Baltimore diner experience. As long as they call you that you know they are doing their best for you in a pretty cruddy job. And to me the little bit of grumpiness shows that they arent being fake to you, which I really respect and it kinda makes me feel more comfortable there for some reason. But all around this has got to be one of the best diner experiences in Baltimore.
