Had to help a friend out up here in Aberdeen so he treated me to breakfast. A very good choice for food as it's a classic diner with very good food. Got their belly buster breakfast as I was super hungry. Two pancakes, 2 French toast, home fries, 3 eggs, 3 sausages, and 3 bacon for $16 currently. A heck of a price for so much good food. Had to get the pancakes to go as I was so stuffed! Overall, good prices, good classic diner food. If I'm up here again, I'll be sure to come back. read more

7/12/2026 Nothing like a local diner to get the morning started. A small parking lot that I always see packed no matter the time and I see why the community uses this as a go to place. Servers were short staffed this day yet they were working the restaurant like pros. Vanilla milkshake didn't feel full but the vintage glass was cute. My BLT was solid they go heavy on the tomatoes though they had like 3 slices and fries were fresh and crispy the old school ketchup bottle really took me back. The chicken and waffles were loaded they surly don't skimp on the protein and fluffy Belgian waffle. Nice strips of bacon you really can't go wrong here. Our server (insert name tbd) bobbed and weaved with impeccable service. The vintage juke box, attractions for the kids and just that homely vibe has the locals coming back for more. I'll for sure come back and try Ed's famous chili when I get the chance read more

Went in before an event on a busy Sunday morning. Sat at the bar because tables were crazy busy, which USA good sign. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff was friendly, taking time to check in with us and get our drinks fast. The meal took a few minutes to come out, as expected due to the rush going on, but our server kept our drinks full and apologized even though none was needed. The other staff was also courteous, and it was fun to watch the attitude between the staff members. The meal was great, with the bacon, eggs, and pancakes cooked perfectly. The coffee was top notch. Not too weak or strong, and served piping fresh and hot. We'll definitely be back on our next ride through the area! read more

Food was great! Server was great too! Easy to find from the airport. I'll be back! Easy to find. Plenty of parking.

Food was great, portions were great, desserts were stale; super stale. Service was terrific.

The food at this place is good. Service was terrible. It took nearly an hour to get our food and the waitress was extremely rude.

Excellent spot for breakfast. Reminds me of diners in North Jersey. Service is always good and there plenty of menu items but not too many. I also like the fact that they have a counter to sit at. We have never been here for lunch or dinner so we will have to give it a try. There is also plenty of parking. read more

My partner and I came for lunch the other day as we were looking for a diner during a road trip on I-95. The place has good Yelp reviews. I can confirm the food is good. We each started with a cup of soup - one MD crab and one "famous" chili. Although we didn't see chunks of crab, there was a decidedly full crab flavor and the Old Bay seasoning enhanced -but didn't overwhelm - the crab flavor. There were vegis in the soup that were not mushy and added flavor and texture. Nice soup. Same with the chili. I was surprised (pleasantly) by how spicy the chili was. Not overpowering, but a decent kick to a tasty chili. I recommend. (I don't remember any cornbread with the chili. Either it was not memorable, or they didn't serve it to me.) I ordered the "senior" chicken parm. A ridiculously large portion, with a large, thick and juicy chicken breast, covered with lots of cheese in a decent red sauce. This was placed over an oversized portion of properly cooked spaghetti. Needless to say, I left a lot behind, but it was good and I would consider getting again. I took a bite of the garlic bread, which also was good. My partner's gyro was filled with gyro meat and I was told it was delicious. The service was quite good. Friendly wait staff who kept our water glasses from getting empty. As far as ambiance, it's a diner. read more

Fast friendly service, good prices, good food. It has that old diner feeling and when you walk in, everyone greets you, kinda like going home. We've only been for breakfast, but no complaints! The basics are covered but I'd suggest a special. The Rte 40 Benedict is very savory and hits the spot. So does the fried chicken steak. Perhaps I need to focus on oatmeal and fruit next time, geez!! read more

We love diners and stopped here for breakfast on our way to Richmond VA. I had something I hadn't enjoyed in a good 25 years ! CREAM CHIPPED BEEF! Omg so darn good, and over biscuits no less! It was very good, but not enough beef. The service was fair. I really liked the decor with lighthouses and purple booths. read more

If you check my review history, you will notice that I almost never give a bad review. It is hard to leave one, but it is warranted. While on long road trips, we like to try out new local diners. While in Aberdeen, MD, we decided to check this one out. We were seated quickly and our order was taken. The server was friendly and we got our breakfast. The place had an odor similar to if a cat was present in the establishment. The hash was very much like a sliced boiled potato. It was tasteless. The breakfast sausages were overcooked and reminded me of when I was microwave my frozen sausages for too long when I was a preteen. The egg was good. The toast was too, along with the coffee. After leaving the place, my stomach wasnt right for our entire trip back to Buffalo. One star for the reasonable price and one star for the service, but thats being generous. read more

This is a charming little diner with lots of great options. Service was friendly and speedy and there's too much to take in during just one sitting on the walls if you get bored with your fellow table companions. read more

Coffee is piping hot and food is excellent. Great place for biscuits n gravy. Phenomenal service. Definitely worth a try for anyone visiting the Aberdeen area. read more

Aberdeen Diner - Sausage gravy platter - Diners Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

As far as cheap eats go, this would be the spot but you get what you pay for. It is rare that I go to a place that struggles with breakfast. This is not rocket science and you do need a culinary degree for sausage, eggs, grits and toast. The struggle with just getting my eggs right was disappointing. Oh well. read more

Breakfast was mediocre at best. Soft scrambled eggs was the request, eggs so hard you could break a window with them, were served. Two pieces of white toast with a little bit of butter slapped on them were served lukewarm. Chip beef breakfast was mostly sticky flour and had little taste. Both breakfasts, only half eaten due to poor quality, remained on the plate when the server cleared the table. She never bothered to inquire whether there had been a problem with the breakfasts. Obviously, she was either used to seeing half eaten plates or just didn't care. Coffee was good. read more

The ambiance was visiting a diner owned by a friend. Everyone was super nice. The food was good. I enjoyed my meal and even the next day reheated. I had pancakes and eggs; my daughter had chicken wings. I guess they were made fresh because the service was super slow. Can't rush food at your friends place, can you. read more

In town for work, stopped by for a late breakfast. Love the old diner atmosphere. I had the country fried steak, with chipped beef gravy. Comes with two eggs, and hash browns. The staff were very friendly. I had hoped for a bigger portion, but still enjoyed the food. read more

Great spot to grab breakfast. Food and service was excellent. Will definitely come back if we are in the area.

We wanted a nice breakfast before leaving Perryville, where we went to Great Wolf Lodge. I found this diner on Yelp (of course). It could have not been more what I had hoped. Great prices, clean tables, friendly prompt service, and even a half decent cup of coffee. The sweetened tea tasted homemade, and the potatoes were absolutely perfect. Highly recommend. Can't find a higher quality old school American diner than this one. read more

It was our first time at this diner. There was enough parking but with the dealership next to them, it can get tight. We were seated inside quickly. The staff seems to know a lot of the regulars, even their orders. It felt very welcoming in there. The food was delivered promptly and was cooked as we asked. We will visit again. read more

I ordered a breakfast sandwich this morning and was advise it would be ready in 10 mins, well that turned in 20 min. The MOD was extremely rude. I never received my order because the MOD advise the cook had to recook it. I requested no egg. At this point I requested a refund because at this point, I am late to work. The extremely rude MOD said I am not giving you a refund because I don't want to. To the owners of the Diner this MOD need to be retrained or fired. I never witness such rudeness from a manager this is not a good look for your business. I walked away with no refund and breakfast sandwich. I will be returning for a refund today. I will not patronage this diner ever. The MOD said call the owner and I asked for the number. She again Rudley advises she didn't have the number because she just work there. Very disappointed Customer - I need my refund asap!!! Just Horrible She wanted to argue with me the Customer. read more

My friends and I took a trip to the Aberdeen Diner for a Saturday breakfast. It was a classic diner atmosphere. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. We got our food ready and hot before we expected while we talked. The food was great and filling. It was my first time eating there, but my friends had eaten there before. We would go back. read more

Perfect stop after stuck in DE traffic (or before get stuck in DE traffic). Avoid the I-95 rest stops and sit down for a very where the Locals go restaurant. Not right off the exit but extremely close to 95. Large menu. Breakfast all day. Friendly service. And you know the food is good when the waffle fries actually are crispy and don't need ketchup. Reasonably priced. Reasonably sized portions. The ambiance is what you'd expect in a mom and pop place. Clean. Was busy but didn't have to wait for food. read more

Unfriendly waitress, employees wear dirty clothes, the place can use a cleaning. I was disappointed with the simplest meal, eggs and bacon. Overpriced. Do not recommend this place at all. read more

We enjoyed the decor and the waitstaff was conscientious. The food was disappointing...and the facility cleanliness lacking. We will not return. read more

Food/Drink. 5/5: Ordered the open face Reuben with extra saurkraut. Was not disappointed! Delicious Reuben goodness. Atmosphere. 5/5: definitely a "real" diner. Not some fake snooty one. Made you feel welcome when you walked in. Tight spaces at parts but definitely on par for a diner. Service/Prices. 5/5. One server was running the whole show but doing a great job. Prices were real diner prices . Overall I would definitely return to try more food at this local joint. read more

Busy Saturday morning. Got a strawberry milkshake- probably best part of the morning. I also got the breakfast combo #1 - the server asked what side I wanted and then forgot to bring the side. I didn't bother asking for it because I would have finished half the plate by the time she came back. Same thing happened to my husband. The order itself was just ok. The pancake was meh, I could've gone without it honestly. Everything else was alright but nothing impressive to brag home about ... ‍ read more

They don't have real butter or real syrup. Just hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. I don't wanna know what other ingredients they're using in the back! The bathroom was dirty and the building is shared with a mechanic shop. My omlett was tasty, but everyone else at the table complained about their food being too tough, too salty, or just bad. The staff was friendly though! But yeah, I would definitely not eat here again. I can't BELIEVE the place has this many stars. People really have low standards in Aberdeen apparently. read more

Best diner we've been to. Classic diner vibe with a very nice waitstaff. We both got the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and a side of onion rings. If you're not hungry, you probably only need half since it was huge, but we loved the leftovers the next day. Large menu, so everyone can find something they like. The boom boom sauce was also delicious with the onion rings. Come here. We would probably go out of our way to come here again. read more

Sweet, local-owned, diner located right off the 95 in Aberdeen hence the name. Great menu with sausage or chipped beef gravy, plenty of omelette choices, pancakes, waffles, etc. Loved the whole scene here! Cool hearing wait staff greet folks by name as they walked in. Pictures of eagles, muscle cars, Elvis and a plaque saying they've been proudly serving since 1921.The Lunch menu looked great! We ordered omelettes and the eggs was tender and the fillings plentiful Stop by for a delicious meal. You won't regret it. Almost forgot to mention the coffee was good and drink refills were offered readily. Exxon gas nearby was cheaper than what we saw in Philly and VA. read more

Aberdeen Diner - Aberdeen Diner - Diners Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

My friend, her son, and I ate there. We all got ill. We had different dishes, though we all had eggs. Could've been contaminated ice in our ice water or dirty utensils that made us ill. We'll never know. I called the owner the next day and she was indignant. She said that it was the first time she's heard of anyone getting ill in her 8 (?) years there. Her tone and the way she handled the situation offended and frustrated me. I didn't ask for our money back, and she didn't offer refunds. read more

I go every morning for breakfast. On occasion I have lunch there. The food is great. It's home cooked. They are able to keep the prices reasonable. A big shoutout to all the waitresses. They are wonderful and work hard! Stephanie, Kay and Crystal wait on me most frequently. What friendly, and attentive service they give. Five stars for Aberdeen Diner! read more

When I move to a new place, one of the first things I need to do is find my breakfast spot. I like an old school, no frills, greasy spoon diner where simple breakfast food is done well. For Aberdeen, that is the Aberdeen diner through and through. The staff is as friendly as the ambience, you can feel the history of the building, the coffee is hot, and the food is exactly what you want it to be. I have order the same breakfast for 20 years no matter where I go: - 3 eggs over medium - sausage links - hash browns extra crispy with cheddar and jalapeño added - English muffin - black coffee It's been a great way to suss out the right spot. These guys nail it. The lack of a 5th star is to do with consistency. I have been about 12 times now, and sometimes they forget one of my add-ons etc. Definitely worth a try for a classic American breakfast! read more

I've eaten at diners from Savannah to Boston up and down the East Coast corridor. For friendliness, good menu with traditional options, and quality of food the Aberdeen diner is above and beyond at a very reasonable price point. Try the Aberdeen Reuben which substitutes a local slaw for kraut! Incredible servers! read more

Amazing food and our server was fantastic! Everyone was so friendly! Definitely coming back!

Been here 25 min and waiting and no one has said a word to me. I don't care if it's best food I ever had . Service sucks

Visiting from out of town and I always try to find a local place to try. Decided to try this diner based on Yelp recommendations. I'm glad I did. The food was delicious and the staff were so attentive and kind. Loss of a star for cleanliness of the bathroom. Don't let that keep you from stopping in. read more

This place deserves no less than FIVE stars. It's local, the staff is super nice and the food is AMAZING! I had the burger and it's one of the best I've ever had. My coworker had a cheese steak and it was enormous and he said it was great. Try the waffle fries! HIGHLY recommended!! read more
