    French toast bites
    Jude T.

    20 years ago I had a very bad experience here and haven't been back since. But, on NYD we were looking for somewhere to eat that wasn't too busy. Bam, Towson Diner seemed to have plenty of room. I had the French toast bites and a side of sausage. It was the thick diner style sausage (which I honestly wish was available more places). The French toast bites is simply cut up French toast squares covered in strawberry slices and doused in whipped cream. Wow did that make a flavor explosion in my mouth. The French toast was nice and soft inside with a slight crust on the outside. The inside is well lit during the day thanks to the large diner windows. The booths are comfortable. The waitress was prompt, friendly, and got everything right. Now I have another diner to choose from.

    Basket of unseasoned chicken wings,  mozzarella sticks, and onion rings.

    This is a typical diner that stays busy, and our visit was no exception. The food was ok, nothing really outstanding. My husband went with his standby, the cheesesteak sub with French fries. It was passable. I ordered the appetizer basket, which had 4 deep fried chicken wings, 3 mozzarella sticks, and onion rings. The wings were unflavored, boring as could be-there was no mention of any flavors for them in the menu and the server did not ask if i wanted them flavored. The accompanying ranch dressing did not help much, and the rest was fine. The server did bring some marinara sauce upon request. The bill was just shy of $40,with 1 soft drink. The service was excellent.

    Belgian Waffle W Straw&Whip

    The food is just amazing and tastes so yummy and creamy. If you come early like as soon as they open you will have seats immediately! They are very quick workers and very polite. They understand everything that I say to them! It looks so nice on the inside and it looks very 90's diner. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!!

    Very small part of the menu

    So I just left this establishment. When I entered I was seated right away. I wasn't in the section that I'm normally in. Also I didn't see the waiter that I'm use to. He must have been off or just not work on Sundays. I ordered water and a long island iced tea. The long island came out first and then the water maybe five minutes later. I placed my order for Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream and a side of bacon. It didn't take long for my food to come out. It was nice hot and fresh. I asked for some warm butter but, they don't offer warm butter. The food was good. The restaurant was a little busy but, not too crowded. I have no complaints about the food even ordered an extra order of bacon because I just really had a taste for bacon today. Lol. I was not feeling the long island iced tea that I had. I wouldn't order that again. I guess I should have stuck to my normal.......an old fashioned. Lol. I left a tip on the table for the waitress and she did swing by to get it before I left. Now here is where the disappointment was......I sat kind of close to where you go to pay for your order. I heard the man at the counter ask another customer if they wanted to be a part of a rewards program. Well when I went to the counter to pay I wasn't even offered to be a part of the reward program. I found that pretty interesting. I have been coming to this place pretty often. I'm not sure if this is a program that they just started or not. My problem was that you offered it to the person that paid before me but, not to me. Not to sure how I feel about this. Makes me wonder should I choose another option next time I'm wanting some brunch.

    Greek Omelette. Comes with fried potatoes and toast.

    We walked in on a Saturday morning around 1130 and were seated right away. It looks a little tight but we were at one of the tables, not a booth, and I felt like we had plenty of space around us. This place is similar to the other big chain of diners around the Baltimore beltway but their menu is not as large....but still very extensive. Our order was taken promptly and our meals came out within an acceptable time frame. I loved my Greek Omelette and my husband loved his scrapple and eggs! Both servings were huge, a real bargain for the price. We were satisfied. The parking is quite tight there and it's right on a very busy road but if you hit it at the right time of day all should be fine.

    Eggs Benedict
    Hannah C.

    Honestly a typical American diner. We got an omelette which comes with a side of toast and home fries but we upgraded to a side of fruit and eggs Benedict which also come with home fries. The omelet was pretty big. The eggs Benedict was good with a sauce that almost tasted like just butter. Our server was very nice, quick and attentive. We were there on a Friday morning while waiting for our car to be done at Hyundai. It was pretty busy with a few families and older people. There was music playing. Overall, chill diner vibes, great service, and what you would expect for diner food.

    This was some of the best diner food I've had. The selection was great! The service was great, our server was able to tell us different options so we could get exactly what we wanted. It was definitely a great experience and I can't wait to go back. They have a great alcoholic drink menu as well

    I'm not sure I even know where to start. Me and my best friend rolled up (without reservations -…read moreoops) but were greeted and seated almost immediately. The area near the front window almost feels like a private table. It was definitely giving a great vibe. We checked the menu prior to picking this place and they had EXACTLY what I wanted. I had a big ole brunch of their Grand Marnier Strawberry French Toast which was a three stack of THICCCCC cut Texas bread. It was better than I hoped for! And I brought at least half of it home, because ole greedy butt over here also got the platter with the home fries (I asked for onions and got this caramelized onion topping that was almost a jam. Yummm), the bacon and the eggs your way (scrambled with cheese). My companion had this big ole omelette with a lot of veggies and shared my french toast. The sauce they served with the home fries was sooooo good - it was almost like Heinz 57 sauce but with less of a vinegary bite. The jam that came for my English Muffin was delicious and praise GOD they served butter that wasn't ice cold and unspreadable so yeah hella points for that. For the mimosas, we did the "buy the carafe and the bottle", with a carafe of cranberry juice and a bottle of Cava Prosecco. I loved that we were able to select WHICH bubbles we wanted and for two people it worked out very well price wise. The host (tall guy with a mohawk) and our server (Robyn) were absolutely fantastic. Personable and friendly and very attentive, very much able to answer any questions we had (THANK YOU ROBYN!!!). In short - this place is a gem and yall should go!

The waitress recommended I reach out to Steve, as manager, to add the C&W on the menu, at least as a special occasionally. I would happily return to sample it, if this were to happen. Thanks.

The problem was the execution in the kitchen. Our flaming cheese appetizer was cool and firm, even after the flames subsided, steak was served medium rather than medium rare, as ordered, and the chicken & waffles entree consisted of a bowl of reheated pieces of fried chicken served over a half of a waffle. Not an appetizing presentation. In summary, I think the bar and wait staff were great, but the kitchen staff need some retraining.

The menu is absolutely enormous and the interior lacks character and charm with uncomfortable bench seating and scarce decor. I opted for an omelette which came with pepper jack cheese, bacon, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream. The description was unclear about whether it came with home fries and bread or the option of either home fries or bread. When I asked our server about this, he gave me a mixed response and seemed confused himself. I told him IF it comes with bread, I'll need the gluten free option which ended up being pretty good. My boyfriend got the blueberry pancake which he seemed to love. He also got a side of their "million dollar bacon" and "the works" omelette. There was some more confusion from our server who thought he wanted to sub the bacon in the omelette for the million dollar bacon but he ended up asking for our clarification before any mistakes were made. My omelette came out first and it was dry and overcooked. Definitely not a fluffy omelette and the half a spoonful of sour cream wasn't helping. The home fries were SO salty and that's coming from someone who has a savory palate. I couldn't finish them. My boyfriend's omelete came out and was a lighter, different color and looked a lot fluffier which makes me think mine was kept on the skillet too long. The million dollar bacon was just bacon covered in maple syrup. It was so disappointing and definitely not worth the almost $7 for 4 pieces. We had to chase our server down for our check in the end. Our meal ended up being over $50 for the two of us. Considering the quality of the food and service, I wouldn't say it was worth it. This is the kind of place that pretends its "farm fresh" but really is the same quality as IHOP at a slightly more expensive price.
