There is a small restaurant chain in the Boston/New Hampshire area which I visit as often as I can called The Friendly Toast. Papermoon Diner is Friendly Toast on steroids and ... substances. Just about every square inch of wall and ceiling space above the wainscotting is filled with something. Now I know why I can't find Pez dispensers anywhere. Now I know where some of my old toys and games disappeared, probably by some gremlin in the middle of the night. Anyway... the menu has both traditional and eclectic options. I wanted to consider the bacon milkshake, just because, but the need for coffee was stronger. My group got a variety of breakfast and lunch items. Everything was delicious, and everything came out quickly. I do feel that for the price you pay on various entrees, you certainly get more for your money with certain choices over others, especially given the cost of the ingredients to prepare them. Staff attitude was slightly inconsistent. Our host had a difficult time managing a smile when we interacted, but everyone else was filled with humor and wit and banter, and it was a pleasure to be served by them. This is a place everyone should visit at least once when in Baltimore; I'd go much more often personally. read more

The decor alone gives this place high ratings. It's just a very cool place to be and look around and even take some pictures. GLOWS: -Service was effective and efficient -The parking lot across the street is helpful with tight parking in the area -The kids enjoyed the brownie sundae... i would personally need less chocolate syrup. -The French toast sandwich was very tasty. GROWS: -The prices are above average for diner food. -The turkey burger had a good flavor but I wish it was so much more to it for $20. read more

I've been to Papermoon quiet a few times and it's always been great! As soon as you walk in you are greeted by colorful trinkets and toys. There's always so much to look at and it never gets tiring .They have a lot to pick from on the menu from breakfast, lunch and milkshake options. I got the Ham den Omelette and it was delicious l, it had caramelized onions as well as ham under the omelette, all together good flavors. My partner had the Egg Wich which comes with eggs, cheese and chicken sausage. The only I could say was our server didn't check on us that much and we were waiting for a little bit to get the check. Overall experience is good! read more

Papermoon Diner - The Ham Den - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I came across this place after doing a brunch search. I wanted some place to go with my wife, and it did not disappoint! Upon parking, my wife recognized it right away as a place she frequented 20 years ago while at Hopkins! The food tasted great, and was complimented by awesome customer service! I enjoyed my experience there, and will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Pez dispenser bathroom - enough said. Paper moon is a hipster dive diner in Remington. It's a neighborhood and Baltimore staple. You'll notice from the entrance it looks like a consignment shop. This was only my second time in and was glad to see it was still very busy on a Sunday afternoon. They don't offer booze here it's a classic diner fare with a Balitmore twist. I got the sausage gravy and brioche with a side of home fries and my Texas heart was happy. The coffee was slightly cold but good. I swear they used to have biscuits but they don't anymore. Last time we came, we paid at the register but now they will take payment at your table. The decorations are fun to look at. You won't go wrong by coming here for a diner breakfast. Nothing healthy here! read more

Went in on a busy weekend. No wait for a table at all. Parking was plentiful, with space on the street as well as a private lot. The staff was very friendly, with all the servers rotating based on who wasn't busy, which seemed to be more efficient. The decode was classic. Toys and other kitchen from the past 75 years all over the walls and hanging from the ceiling. A wall of Pez dispensers greets you as you walk in, including a full set from OCC. The menu is quite large, with a wide variety of selections. The meal arrived, and was exactly what I wanted and needed. I had the "Big Dipper" which is a tasty eggs in a basket affair done with Brioche. The check came at just the right time, and we were done just as quickly. I look forward to trying some other selections from the menu on future visits' read more

When I 1st came to Baltimore in 2021 I was taken to Papermoon Diner. I found all the things stuck to the walls to be interesting, somewhat of a Salvador Dali dream. The food was also good. I went there again today and I have no idea what happen but the food was far beneath anything that should be served to anyone. Everything tasted like it was a week old. The toast was like eating rubber. How does one serve toast taste like bark? Did this place change management between my first and last visit? Do the kitchen staff also work in construction? I'll never be going back. What a disappointment. read more

This place is the wildest, trendiest, most eclectic restaurant i've been in. From the entrance you can tell that this place has been one big curation for years. Art and toys mash together along with a succulent menu makes for a good reason to stop by. I had an awesome burger and a killer caramel salted milkshake. The caramel is handmade every day. We sat in the back where you could get a good view of all of the decorations and vintage toys from days gone by. You really don't have to talk to anyone just stare at all of the things in the restaurant. A great find, great food, and great experience. Give it a try. Cheers read more

I took a friend to Papermoon the other day as they are new to Baltimore and have never been. I always love to take people to Papermoon that are from out of town because its very *funky* and I love that about the place! Always a fun time seeing my friends just look around in total amazement! 10/10 decor. The service was also very nice! We went mid-week so it was easy to get a table and the host and server were sooo nice. We were going to split our breakfast ourselves, but they were kind enough to come ask us if we wanted them to just split it all in the kitchen. We really appreciated that! The food...is the reason why I had to give the place 4 stars. Ive been going here for years and I love to take out of towners to papermoon ...but the reason why I would never go on any other normal day is because the food isnt really anything special. It tastes good, but it doesnt really stand out in my opinion. But the decor is just SO cool, so it will always have my business when a friend is visiting! What we ordered (We split the order): French Toast + Chicken Sausage + Eggs read more

Very fun establishment + delicious food. Seems like a solid vegetarian and LGBTQ+ friendly brunch spot. Service was insanely fast - we could have been in and out in 30 minutes if needed. I would recommend getting there early or be comfortable with waiting. I went at about 10:30 am and there was a line of people following behind as well as when we left. read more

Super funky and eclectic decor - we loved eating brunch in this diner! There are tens of thousands of trinkets adorning the walls and ceiling...it is such a delight for kids and adults alike to enjoy the kitschy surroundings. So much sensory overload! The entrance has tons of colorful pez dispensers too! The potato cakes with asparagus tower was absolutely delicious and unique! We also enjoyed the breakfast quesadilla, chocolate chip pancakes, eggwich, and coffee. Will definitely return again!!! read more

Good food with good portions, and the server was both attentive and friendly. I only wish there had been music playing when I was there. Their food is a unique blend of Southern and NJ-esque diner food. A little expensive when only the food is considered, but well worth it for the artsy environment you're able to dine in. read more

Papermoon Diner - Sausage Gravy & Brioche - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place is a visual trip--quirky décor everywhere you look! The menu is huge and surprisingly solid. I had the sweet potato pancakes and a lavender latte. Both were awesome. A little pricey for diner fare, but it's a whole experience. read more

This place is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is such a historical landmark to this community. Everywhere you look, on the ceilings and all around you, is art. I was so impressed. The service was really great too. There was a huge weight, but there was so much to look at that it didn't even matter. Once it was our turn, the team made sure to sit us at a wonderful spot. I also really love the bathrooms. The food is really yummy too. They have a lot to choose from, I would love to go back again and try all the different plates they have! read more

Quirky is the best description of this totally fun off the main drag Baltimore eatery!! Thank goodness my friends knew where they were going because it is easy to get off on the wrong path in Baltimore but the Papermoon is definitely worth the experience. Ahh but the experience wasn't priceless and I hate to make this notation up front but it seems that once you are seated and served .... you are left forgotten amidst all the cool toys and memorabilia! I almost had to do jumping jacks to get my water refilled and that was my beverage. The wait staff were all smiles and busy but when you have a table full of people you should stop by and say 'hey' every once in a while. A relatively simple menu but my jerk chicken wrap was pretty darn awesome and the friends who chose the place had "the usual" even though they live a state away from Maryland. Clearly they enjoy coming back for the same thing ... I admit to being more adventurous. We did note that the milkshake machine must have taken a siesta because the young man in our. group who ordered one waiting and waited but suddenly it seemed like every table in the room was having milkshakes delivered to some happy person. Baltimore offers many options for dining but if you have kids or feel like a kid while you are in Charm City then come discover just how many Pez dispensers were made because I think they have one of each of them at the Paper Moon! And, before you order a shake ask for the wait time .... read more

The food was cold. The waitress wouldn't check our table we had to call out to her. Overpriced and not worth the 30 minute wait

We came here early this morning to catch breakfast around 9am. I love the visual feast that greets all visitors to Papermoon Diner-- mannequins decorated with buttons and copper pennies, quirky curiosities, and a well-maintained garden. We were seated immediately, there were only a few people dining as we arrived. We had the Breakfast Burrito and the Egg Christo-- both were de-licious. Our servers were attentive to keep the coffee flowing and checked on us quickly a couple of times. It's really hard for me to concentrate on conversation at the Papermoon because I am constantly trying to visually absorb all of the memories from my childhood that are here. This place is soaking in nostalgia. By the time we left, Papermoon Diner was hopping with many Sunday Brunchers. Thank you, Papermoon, we will be back. read more

This has a zany exterior and interior. It certainly has character! We ordered a few breakfast dishes that were all good. The stand out was the Spring Egg dish. At first it seemed too healthy (like I had accidentally ordered a bowl of spinach with egg on top) until I dug under a bit and found the delcious potato cake underneath. That added precisely what was missing. I woukd go back for that dish. The milkshakes have to be ordered first thing because it takes so long to make them. I didn't think they were anything worth a 40 minute wait. We got ours the same time as the check. The bacon one was cool though and an enjoyable flavor. read more

I love this spot for the ambience alone, opened in 1994 this small place packs a lot of punch. Outdoor seating is beautiful and covered with a nice breeze. I wasn't a fan of the "crispy" chicken wrap but I loved looking around. Only one server waiting all the tables but he was great. Looking to come back and try something new off the menu read more

I adore the Remington Community... The people, taverns, and eateries have always held a place in my heart.. Omw, out of town, so I decided a good ole nostalgic breakfast with PaperMoon... For us Baltimore when it comes to PaperMoon, if you know.. you know! *DON'T JUDGE THIS VERY INTERESTING BOOK BYVTHE COVER* Now today the food was a bit off but the svc was top notch and the atmosphere was fun, whimsical and entertaining.. I ordered a spinach, bacon & Goat Cheese Omelet with avocado & 1 sausage link on the side... I was soon instructed that we didn't have sausage.. Cool by me..MORE BACONNNNN!! N e who, my friend & I's good arrived and she was given sausage that they didn't have.. Again, ish happens! Although my Omelet was packed with bacon bits.. it lacked flavor, little cheese & my avocado was placed inside.. Again.. it may have been an off day but nonetheless..cool place to visit.. make sure yo order a milkshake & take lots of pics!!! read more

Love this restaurant. Have been coming here at least once a year for 30 years! My favorite is the Spring Egg - and you can't go wrong with a Captain Krunch milkshake! Fun things to look out, great place to take out of town guests, and the servers are always nice. read more

If you're black 0/10 would not recommend my group experience racism!!!The milkshakes were good the atmosphere unique fs if you're vegetarian food is subpar at best. I noticed the white customers received faster service They charged us a $47 tip for slow rude service from chris and Lilly, Chris insinuated that we didn't have the funds to say talking about us in front of our table saying we were going try to skip out on our check. When questioned about why we were not made aware of the policies that would make the bill that we expected to be 170 now $225 he was condescending and raised his voice. As I payed he asked if I could afford to put it on one card which felt disrespectful and unnecessary. This could have been a cool dinner but the experience we had as a group of black people trying to enjoy a weekend was horrible if i could give negative starts I would. read more

It's honestly crazy how long I've been passing this place so curious, I finally peaked my curiosity on a Sunday morning for brunch with my mom and Grandma. The moment you walk in you realize that it's equally eclectic on the inside as it is on the outside. The space is very open with a breakfast bar as soon as you walk in. To the left are quite a few tables in a dining area and when you turn to the right and walk down the hallway there's another dining area. We were sat in the dining area to the right and was greeted by the initial person who took our order. Everyone seemed to work together to here to ensure service was prompt. We began looking through the menu although respectfully distracted by the millions of pieces of art all over the restaurant. The menu is quite extensive and after quite a few moments we finally landed. I ordered the Sage sausage and mushroom with Gouda omelette with homefries, a salad as the side as opposed to toast and a side of avocados to put in my salad. The eggs were so light and fluffy and full of flavor. The salad was fresh and just what I needed, including the avocados was the perfect cherry on top. The home fries were seasoned to perfection and just the crispiness I love. My family also enjoyed their meals and shared that they'd come back, to celebrate something or have more people join. 9/10 would recommend! read more

As always, we love the decor and (most of) the food. Today I ordered the sausage gravy. Bad choice. It was strangely seasoned, which could have been interesting. The unfortunate part was that it was quite sweet. In my opinion, savory foods shouldn't have a lot of sweetness unless it is clearly stated on the menu. So for today, only three stars. read more

OMG !!!! This place is freakin' awesome ... just think " OVERLOAD " Food : the menu first of all is overload, so many choices that it takes you awhile to decide what you want to try. Once you decide and your food arrives it's unbelievable from the presentation to the amount you get to the delicious taste. Visual: just arriving you are amazed at the artistry of mannequins that greets you. Then when you enter your mind is blown from the huge Pez collection, the disembodied doll heads staring at you from a glass cabinet to the everything that fills the restaurant This is a must for those that appreciate awesome food at a reasonable price to the interesting items throughout the place. read more

This really use to be one of my favorite places to go in bmore even before i moved here but the prices have become unreasonably exorbitant even for someone who makes 6 figures.. ex $16 for sandwich no side salad or fries $3 (potatoes are still very cheap far as i know) to add it $5 drip coffee and the community style serving often leads to us being ignored longer than usual and having to ask for things.. orders are frequently missing something or incorrect.. its a real shame whats happened this place.. is still go for the nostalgia but way less frequently than in the past read more

Like every other review here: Come for the pretty good food, stay for the incredibly weird decor. Or maybe vice versa? It's good at any rate. In addition to diner classics, there are some more unusual (at least to me) dishes, like this potato cake and asparagus tower with hollandaise (very rich, pretty tasty). read more

There seemed to be more cons than pros this visit. My past visit that was all pro was before I became a Yelper. I don't believe this place takes reservations so we had a long wait, with nowhere to sit. We were finally seated and the 5 of us were sardines at a table. We had to asked to be moved and were initially told no, but finally were reseated. Service was slow, I barely got refills on anything. I ordered pigs in a blanket and home fries, plus coffee. Everything was good but the home fries. Not a horrible visit, but not the best. read more

Debit or Credit Card Only! Cash not accepted! I'm not sure if this is a Covid safety measure or not, but FYI! My friend and I stopped in for lunch one Friday afternoon and was seated immediately. There were only about 4 or 5 other patrons in the restaurant. Interesting space! I ordered and LOVED the Bird's Nest, priced at $14.95 - The Bird's Nest is a warm smoked turkey breast, havarti cheese, spring mix, avocado, caramelized onions & pea shoots w/ honey mustard, on a grilled ciabatta. I chose to get rye bread instead. Next time, because there will be a next time. Next time I'll get it without the pea shoots. The flavors were a little overwhelming. I also had a side house salad with house made Blue Cheese. The dressing was out of this world good! So good! My friend ordered the Jerk Chicken Wrap, priced at $15. The Jerk Chicken Wrap featured Grilled julienned jerk chicken, avocado, shredded cheddar & jack cheese, black bean & corn salsa, spring mix, and tomato. Wrapped in a warm tortilla. This was a hard pass for us. The jerk chicken taste more like Southwest flavored chicken, nothin jerk flavored about it. It wasn't bad but if you have your heart set on a Jerk chicken wrap, this isn't it. We did not get dessert because we didn't have time. The coffee is hot, fresh and flavorful. Service was kind of slow. read more

Super cool ambiance and good food too. This place is very quirky and a work of art all by itself. There are so many decorations it's almost too much to take in. One could spend an hour just looking at everything here, even the toilets are decked out. The food was good too, nothing extraordinary but very large portions and tasty enough. Come here for the experience though, this place is definitely a hidden gem! read more

I have gone to papermoon since I was a young girl! It is always fun to experience! I usually get breakfast but this time I thought I would branch out and try something new! I decided to get the cheesesteak which was amazing! We also got the pasta which was also amazing! It has ma fun diner vibe and the food is good but be ready for a wait! I would not recommend for a very large party or to go during brunch hours. Either before or after that time. The service overall was not bad. It was pretty typical and nothing spectacular. Overall this is a fun place to dine with good fun food options! read more

I was able to come here right before indoor dining was shut down again in Baltimore and I'm so so glad I did. I was waiting for my car inspection to finish and this was within walking distance of the shop so I thought I'd come here for an early lunch/late breakfast. First off you can't overlook the aesthetic, it's kitschy and full of quirky nick nacks, and I just love it! (Pictures below) The waitress who was also the seating hostess was so sweet, and had great timing. Also the tables now all have this plastic hanging barrier which is so cool that they went above and beyond like that in these Covid times. For food I got the turkey burger which I can't even compare to any turkey burger I've ever had before, because it was so.. different? The menu says it's dark meat turkey and indeed it is, it almost kind of tasted like a regular beef burger, which in my opinion is a good thing. The cheese, avocado and lemon aioli and other toppings were just the right amount and overall the taste was great. Additionally, the fries must have been triple fried in CBD oil or something (they're not, that's a joke) because they were amazing! Possibly some of the best fries I've had in my life which is really saying something. I don't know how Papermoon diner would taste as takeout but as soon as they're accepting dine in again, I'll be sure to be back!! read more

BALTIMORE, MD: We dropped in after seeing epic numbers of Google reviews (sorry Yelp, I was driving), and had a wonderful lunch. The place is an artistic dreamscape; unbelievable amounts of kitsch everywhere. You have to see it; like all the old toys from Toy Story came alive and made themselves into an arrangement before going back to sleep. We had two items: Monte Cristo Sandwich: (5 stars): Top 10 sandwiches I've ever had. Would eat it again tomorrow. Savory smoked ham and Turkey between two thick slices of French toast covered in maple syrup! EPIC Cheese Steak: (3 stars) it was fine. Service was outstanding. read more
