A while back I had mentioned that their matzoh ball soup was the best I'd had in a great while. Sadly, that is no longer the case. Either the cook or the recipe has changed but the result is a mushy, bitter tasting dumpling bearing no resemblance to any matzoh ball. read more

Go for the table! Booths are tight. Diner with all the diner defining choices. I like the option of "small" plates of sausage and gravy or pancakes. By small they mean a normal portion for one person. Small coffee cups and irregular refills. Have had some great meeting that were very comfortable. And some business meetings were we couldn't get service. Food has been good. Grits get a good score most of the time. Later in the morning they get a bit solid. This place is a community staple. read more

They just added a 3% service fee that goes to the owners. What a sleazeball move when you could just change your menu prices. read more

One thing I love about family owned business, you are guaranteed great hospitality and good food. I been riding past this dinner for almost a year and finally dined in . Quick service and our server was very attentive. I order the country fried steak with a side of eggs toast and home fries. Very tasty. read more

First and last time. No organization from guess waiting to be seated and checking out. Our food was just not prepared well. My girl had a vegetable omelet that had ham in it...Really! I had eggs and bacon and on my second piece of bacon it had tomato paste....yes, tomato paste under it! What an unpleasant experience!!! read more

I went to dinner here yesterday with friends. All the food served looked and tasted delicious. My friends got matzah ball soup. I got the French onion. These soups were delicious! I ordered one of the posted specials, flounder Florentine over linguine. Absolutely delicious, and a large serving! Fresh spinach, lightly sautéed and the perfectly cooked flounder tasted like it was cooked in a franchise sauce with exactly the right amount of lemon over a mountain of linguine. I highly recommend going to the Reisterstown Diner. It's not just a place to get an excellent breakfast! read more

Time warp but good food. Waitress was clueless...how do you want your eggs??...on eggs Benedict....but a nice experience

Excellent food with many choices. Friendly and efficient service. Large clean dining room with relaxed atmosphere. Good place to have a meal with family or friends and spend time chatting without being rushed. read more

Second time for breakfast so I'll leave a review. Very good both times. Country fried steak was outstanding, along with french toast, waffle and omelette. Different servers and both were very good. Clean and nice place. read more

I wandered into this diner while waiting for my car to be serviced at Len Stoler Lexus, which is about a quarter mile down the street. The food was ok, service attentive and the prices reasonable. The decor and appearance leaves much to be desired though. Mix match chairs and no color synchronization. If it weren't for me being close by, I would not have stopped in. Nothing spectacular. But whenever I need to get be in the area for car maintenance, I will stop in. read more

Came to this place with a few friends yesterday for a "breakfast for dinner" type thing. We were seated immediately and put server was hilarious. I ordered the shortcake of chocolate chip banana pancakes which came with two eggs, home fries, and a side of bacon. The bacon was crispy and delicious, the pancakes we're great, too! The banas we're cut fresh and the chocolate chip to pancake size ratio was pretty generous. I did have a few complaints though, the juices are not free refills, they only cook eggs in three ways and for some reason they couldn't do sunny side up which made me sad. For as big and expansive as the menu is, I would think cooking an egg sunny side up would not be that difficult. But, the food was very cheap I only ended up with a bill of $11 before tax! read more

I've been too much better diners in my day. Came here for breakfast with my father and daughter. Parking lot is pretty tight so be careful where you park. After arriving we were seated at a table in the center of the restaurant. Looks like it was hastily wiped down after the previous people had finished. Table was a little wet still with some food particles still on it. The waitress was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. I had coffee. My dad and daughter had orange juice. Probably should've ordered our food at that time but we decided to just wait for our drinks. This turned out to be a little bit of an error on our part because the service was a little slow. I usually do a pretty basic breakfast so I ordered a short stack of pancakes the hashbrowns and scrapple. My daughter only wanted bacon and eggs. And my dad ordered bacon eggs with a side of grits. While waiting for our food I noticed there was no regular sugar at the table. They did have some of the artificial sweeteners but I never use those. I wanted to ask my waitress to bring some regular sugar out but it took her a while to come back around to our table. The food coming out was a little slow. I ordered my eggs scrambled firm and they came out a little burnt. The scrapple was good and the pancakes were more than filling. Eventually the waitress finally came back around and was able to bring out the sugar for my coffee. But by this time it was cold. My daughter and my father enjoyed their food but they complained that their bacon was chewy and rubbery. They would have preferred more crispy bacon. The prices were pretty cheap so I can't complain there. Overall it was OK but I would not make any special trip just to come here. read more

So this isn't my first review of The Reisterstown Diner, but we tried new things yesterday so I figured I'd let everyone know how good everything was, just in case you're considering one of the following: Their Chili. The Chili was delicious! There was just the right amount of heat - not too spicy, just a little kick. It can be topped with cheese and onions, but I skipped the onions and just got cheese. We ordered take out so I was expecting to see just a sprinkle of cheese on top once we got home, but nope...a nice layer of cheese was on top and melted gooey cheese makes everything better. A lot of meat, and a good amount of beans, so it's very filling! I took some of the home fries from our meatball sub meal, and topped them with chili (enter fat emoji here LOL) and it was SO GOOD!! Meatball Parmesan Sub Either we never noticed this menu item, or it's new. Either way, we decided to give it a try and the gamble paid off. It had huge homemade meatballs (with no weird fillers), provolone cheese, and the perfect amount of sauce where you could taste it, but it didn't ruin the sub roll and turn it to mush. Instead, hours later the leftover portion was just as good as the original! Strawberry Shortcake I expected to have one of those "shortcake" cakes from the store, or homemade cake biscuits, topped with strawberries and whipped cream. WELL....this resembled a layer cake somewhat. It was 2 fresh, soft, tasty white cake layers with a strawberry filling layer sandwiches in between covered in a very light and "whipped cream-like" icing, topped with a nice size strawberry. I loved it! There was no artificial taste whatsoever and tasted like it was just made fresh that day. Since it was layered, you were able to get a taste of each part with every bite! It wasn't heavy or overly sweet, so it was a delicious ending to our already amazing lunch! read more

No ambience. Not bad not good. Just none. They've cut back the menu and as everywhere prices have increased. But they still have the best French fries ever read more

Went for the first and the last time. Ordered the chicken parm and all but the outer edges (the breaded portion), was raw. It's as if they dipped it in the oil and then pulled it immediately out. They then brought me out another cooked piece in about 15 minutes. At that time, the rest of my party had already eaten and I had lost my appetite. In the end I was still charged the full price for the meal even tho I could've gotten salmonella from it. Very unprofessional place. Rachety diner ambience. read more

All the food here is amazing...but most of all the PIZZA!!! The prices are reasonable and the staff is really nice.

The service was very good our waitress was very nice. The food was very good but the bathrooms were really that clean and were kinda broken but over all very nice read more

we moved to the area about 2 years ago and have since been to the diner about 5 times. the food was typically decent and customer service was ok at best. Nothing to turn us away from repeat visits but noting to rave about either. our visit today was different! The diner had new menus, and the breakfast was good, but what really made our visit an amazing experience was the server. Derin served us and delivered an exceptional experience that made us want to come back. she was kind and patient with our 13 month old and offered assistance when we had trouble choosing a meal. when we asked about the kid meals containing dairy she promptly asked about allergies, and ensured our child's meal was safe. Our food came out hot and was very tasty. To the management: Darin made this a place I want to return too! You need more staff like her. read more

Was just messaged by such waitress and she had the audacity to project and gaslight. She thought attacking me was a good idea?! I told her We'll stick with eggspectation ( friendly service ) if we ever go back to that area! Such a shame, our group always tips amazing whenever we go out, we greatly appreciate good service! I used to be a waitress so I know what it takes to provide great and efficient service. IT'S ACTUALLY NOT difficult read more

The food was fresh! We ordered brunch on a lazy Sunday. The chicken quesadilla was really good & stuffed with chicken. Pancakes were fluffy & the eggs were prepared just as we requested. read more

The first bad move was trying to seat us all the way in the back next to the bathroom when the restaurant was almost empty. We refused to sit there. I ordered over medium eggs with 1 slice of cheese pancakes sausage and asked for hot food. I was brought over lite eggs with two slices of cheese and the pancakes were so cold they wouldn't melt whipped butter. I told our sever to just bring me scrambled eggs and she comes back with scrambled cheese eggs. I told them just take it all back and I will never come to this place again!!! I wouldn't recommend my dog to eat here!! read more

They have good food and good portions. They now add a 5% surcharge due to the "high cost of doing business". I won't be going back

Let's keep this simple. For a group of 8 grown men at around 10am, the Food, Service and Ambiance were top notch. Orders taken accurately. Food bought out quickly, hot and delicious . Huge plus, they offered Military discount. Server was attentive and considerate, tipped handsomely. Definitely worth every penny. Left with some desserts to be determined later on. I have Served and will continue to be of service read more

The food is usually good. I go there once a week with friends. If possible, we request Casey as our waitress. She is EXCELLENT!! My favorite thing is the chicken salad club with their homemade chips. It's very good with a generous portion. Their prices are par for the course. read more

worst omelet EVER ! for a place supposedly known for good breakfast, no excuse. ordered a veggie and it came out looking like road kill as was flattened so much was maybe 1/8 '' thin and so well done, like sole of shoe. even toast was inedible...left under lamp til became rubbery. took very long time to get food so didn't return it. ...won't go back. read more

I saw a recent rave review about the Stuffed Shrimp so of course I had to try it. This was my first time here and I won't be back. I ordered exactly as the previous reviewer wrote, bc her food looked amazing! I got the broiled stuffed shrimp and asked for it to be blackened. It was blackened, alright. I really wanted to love this place, but my food was so disappointing. It appeared fried and not boiled, was a super small portion, and was filled with breading. My husband ordered chicken fingers as an appetizer and a meatball sub with fries. Neither was anything to write home about, but they were good enough. I asked for extra sauce for his sub on the side, and they were happy to oblige. Our service was nice but I won't be back. read more
