Been here 3 times now. Once for dinner, twice for breakfast. Each time, I was overwhelmed by the amazing food and fantastic service. The good prices and generous portions are just the ribbon on the prize. The dinner, I had the veal cutlet. Wow. The veal was the size of my head, and cooked just right. The gravy had just the right consistency. Breakfast on Saturday was an early one, and I had the country fried steak. Again, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Sunday breakfast I tried the chipped beef. It had ALL the flavor and wasn't gritty tasting like some other diners. The service is ALWAYS friendly and fast, I've never had to wait for a seat, and my food comes out piping hot. The coffee is always fresh and they leave plenty of creamer. Parking is a little tight but not insane. Last but not least, they bring the check in a reasonable amount of time. I hate waiting forever for the check. The restaurant is clean, and brightly painted. There is also counter seating if you're flying solo. Definitely a place with local color, I think I found my new favorite spot on the Dundalk/Essex side of town!!! read more

As soon as you walk in you are greeted with an attitude from a very young waitress. Can you believe she knows what we want and has the nerve to bring me an iced tea without putting in the sweetener. She just cuts those eyes at you daring you to ask for something else. So, in fear I drank the iced tea. I did notice as a prior rater stated, the vegan menu is very light, so i ordered a burger instead. After the waitress (the mean one) brought out the burger we needed some emotional encouragement to bite into that meat. Wow was that good. The mean waitress actually made me put my own ketchup on the fries. How DARE SHE!! Overall, I give the diner 5 stars only because the mean waitress told me i better write a good review...OR ELSE!! Come hungry leave happy, and remember to bring extra money because the waitress forces you to tip! read more

Food quality has gone down not so tasty like it use to be the service is slow but the employees are very nice item will not be eating there in the near future until the food and service improves. read more

if you are hungry for some down to earth good food with generous portions, then come on in. This place has a feel of casualness. We ordered the Italian cold cut sub with the works minus anything spicy hot. Sub roll was fresh, and the meats were all good quality. I got the open faced turkey with French fries and gravy. The turkey is cooked on site, not a deli meat, and was all breast meat and lots of it. Crinkle cut fries, cooked to order. All covered with gravy. The server recommended this dish as one of the go-to dishes. The food was honestly fantastic. And the prices are much better than other places we've been to. Service was super! We will be back! Plenty of parking read more

Always top of the line service no matter when you visit. Weather it's for an early morning meal or a dinner with the family. Food always tastes right and is handled perfectly from cook to table. read more

Good service good food and a hometown feel combine to make every trip here a great experience.

I am stunned at all the five star reviews. The food is not anything ride home about seriously!! my dad likes this place and we took him there because that's where he wanted to go for breakfast. My pancake tasted like they were made with dish water. They were disgusting. I had one bite and that was it. The home fries had no seasoning at all. I had to load them up with pepper. My dad was satisfied with his breakfast, which is what mattered but I would never go back there again. Our waitress was super sweet and I left her a nice tip but the food oh my God is awful. read more

I had a salad. The salad was extremely fresh and soooo good. The restaurant feels very much like "at home" The staff are very friendly and work so quickly to get your order out to you. The food did come out rather quickly! Such a nice family kinda atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent onion rings. Clam chowder was hearty and delicious. Good portion size. Down home diner. Servers were friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Ok let me start by saying this is an old style Dundalk restaurant. The food is sub par at best, everything came out cold and when they took it back they must have used a microwave to reheat our meals. The service was ok nothing to write home about. The decor in the restaurant is what you would find in a small mom and pop restaurant. They need to do better. Don't waste your money here. There are much better places to go. read more

This place always reminds me of my mom. The atmosphere. Is always pleasant. The food is like mom's. The waitresses are friendly. I've always had good experiences here. Both thumbs up! read more

food is great, service is great, staff is very nice friendly. they are on the ball. I love sparrows point diner and you will too. specials are always something to check out. read more

Unfortunately, I live in NC so I can't be a regular at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant. First and very important, it is clean to the point that Kimberly cleaned not only each table, but she cleaned everything on it plus the seats and the walls! She cleaned like she owned it. The food is very tasty and in portions that most restaurants can't touch. If you want a clean, super friendly local restaurant with great food, Sparrows Point Restaurant is the place to be. read more

Been going to Sparrows Point Restaurant since I was a kid and I am now 61 yrs old. Always great comfort foods & wonderful service!

My absolute go-to when I'm back in my hometown. The perfect small-town "diner". Full of local people and great food. The portions are huge and delicious. The prices are great. The staff are so kind and friendly. I end up working from this restaurant for a few hours when I am in the area just because of the pleasant vibe. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen, too. Don't let the exterior full you...this place is amazing! read more

The place is not pretty to look at nor has the inside decor been updated in years but the food is good. This is a blue collar diner that has a good breakfast and lunch at a very reasonable cost. I ordered the crab cake sandwich and it is really good. In the past I have ordered a variety of breakfast items and have never left hungry read more

I came here today for my first time in a good while. This place is a little out of the way, but certainly worth the trip. They have a full well rounded menu with home style cooking that you can't help but enjoy. And a nice breakfast, lunch, or dinner certainly won't break the bank. I had a Philly Cheese steak sub and it was great. My mother had the shrimp salad sandwich that she really enjoyed as well. All in all, I try to stop in here every time I am nearby. Well worth the visit. read more

Kimberly waited on me today, and she was a delight. I ordered the French toast which comes with your choice of meat if you like. It was less than half of the price of the nearby famous international breakfast chain. I highly recommend this spot, only is the staff warm and friendly and ready to get you anything you need, the quality of food is truly excellent scratch made cooking. read more

Best shrimp salad in town. Awesome scratch cooking and daily specials. Service is fantastic. Karen our waitress has an incredible memory and knows what we like and don't like with fine attention to small details. Very friendly. The turkey and beef are cooked on premises. The hot turkey is awesome cut off the bone. Their fries are the crinkle cut kind. Breakfast is awesome too. Not overly expensive and their friend flounder is the best. This is a hidden gem. Must check it out read more

I was having some work done to my car across the street so I walked over and had lunch. This was my first time being here and I am here to tell you, their food is too notch, and the servers are very friendly. I had the fish special with beets and macaroni and cheese. Was some of the best fish I've had in Maryland, and the mac-n-cheese was homemade and very good. Can't wait to go back. read more

Sparrows Point Restaurant - New American Near Me - Sparrows Point, Maryland

i love this place! perfectly cooked food. great selections and great service! even with a smile!

One of those overlooked sort of places. It's a greasy spoon, but not bad at all. Went for breakfast with my grandmom after taking her to the doctors. Clean, fast, and good are the three words that come to mind. The couple of times i have been their it hasn't been to busy, so you get waited on in quick order. On top of it the staff is pretty friendly. My grandmother ordered eggs, sunny side up, bacon, potatoes and toast (2 slices). As for me, i took their Italian Sausage omelet (Sausage, sweet peppers, mushrooms, and mozzarella). It comes with potatoes and toast (2 slices). To say it is good would be an understatement. Could i get better from somewhere else, sure. But for the area and a simple breakfast, i can't complain. The portions are generous to say the least, my grandmother got a least 6 slices of some decent sized bacon. Needless to say we both came away happy. Will be returning. read more

This is a very solid Diner. They have the best breakfast in town and have very reasonable prices.

Great local diner. Food is always freshly prepared. Their crab cake is really good and priced very low for the quality. It is well seasoned and mostly crab with little filler. Also great for breakfast. read more

Best breakfast in town. Quick service and delicious food. The best chip beef in Baltimore

Good food at a fair price with great service (Mom). Truck drivers of all sorts crammed into a lunch counter diner trailer with the mandatory desert cooler rocking homemade eclairs, rice pudding, and pies. Sweet tea, homemade soups, all-day breakfast, fried stuff, and an ever-changing specials board. If you are looking for a romantic meal or even prefer cloth napkins - this is not the spot for you. read more

The breakfast is pretty good here but the prices are pretty high for it being a dive. If I did not live so close I doubt I would ever come out of my way. Plus I don't like the fact that I get funny looks when I don't leave big tips for a carryout orders, seriously I think I'm one of the few that give anything so like it and smile. read more
