We have been going to the boulevard diner since they have opened and I have to say that some things have just lost their luster . You can always count on a decent meal and big portions but the quality and care may not always be there. It's been about a year since we have been to the diner but we were in the area so we decided to have an early dinner . I had ordered the grape leaves for an app ( these are always spot on !) And a crab fluff ( that never came and the waitress said I didn't order it even though I did and she had even asked my sides ... ) my husband loves their sour beef and dumplings and my dad got their Turkey club which is always very good and my daughter got the turkey kids meal which was absolutely swimming in gravy and the stuffing was an icky paste like mass. My husband and I also had a cup of the Maryland crab soup which is always great. After our meals we got some desserts to go , I normally LOVE their cheesecake however the Oreo cheesecake wasn't the dense creamy dream that I remember, this was just some no bake cheesecake type nonsense. The lemon cake looked decent and the strawberry cheesecake was that same fluffy no bake cheesecake type stuff . I just don't know what happened here . It's a major let down when you get so excited about a meal and dessert that you have always loved at a place that was so reliable before. I'm in no rush to come back again, maybe in another year? read more

I went out last night for a bite took only 5min to be seated the place was half empty we ordered and received our dinner be fore our appetizer my burger was extremely dry and hard like it sat under a heat lamp all day the bun was dry and falling apart like it was a week old then I finally get my appetizer (fried pickles)from a different waitress mushy instead of crispy the waitress no where to be found during the whole meal usually this is a great place to relax so I don't know if under new management or just lack of read more

Great Diner, very large menu!!! Great service!!! My fave waitress is Lovey. I've been going there since they opened in 2001.

Simply the best. The food is incredible and the employees are so nice. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

My Experience was not good for the first time I was here. Firstly they were Trump supporters and then our food was disgusting, no seasoning what so ever!!!!! The sausage wasn't sausage it was raw...yuck...our waitress also had a terrible attitude!!! In addition the cup was dirty like it had previous lips had been on there!!! read more

Boulevard Diner - Diners Near Me - Dundalk, Maryland

I heard that they were known for their Sour Beef & Dumplings and since I had never eaten this dish before, and I was there for lunch, I decided to order the "small" portion. Wow! It was a very generous amount of fork tender beef roast accompanied by delicious dumplings -- I wish there had been a couple more, they were so good, but in this stew-like presentation I'm sure they just ladle it up and you get what you get -- surrounded by a rich "gravy." It was so yummy I can't wait to return! The staff was friendly and efficient, too. A great lunchtime eating experience in a Dundalk, diner institution. read more

Good OI' Diner food! Their crabcake is very good! Lump crabmeat, not many fillers, great taste. And the price is reasonable. My boyfriend had the pot roast the last time and it was very good. The portion was huge. Their soups are pretty good as well. read more

Not your average diner... The Blvd Diner is a Dundalk landmark and rightly so. The people and prices are great. While I wouldn't call it fine dining I would call it honest dining. The food is exactly what you would expect from a diner hot, good and soothing to the soul. The portions will either stuff you or, make you ask for a take home box. If your up for a challenge meal I dare you to finish the big ass sandwich... Pot roast, pit beef and corned beef on our homemade bread with, lettuce, tomato, fried onion, three cheese sauce, and horseradish mayo. read more

Went here as I saw it on Diners drive ins and dives and it was a must. Well let me tell u it was average and by the time I got to hotel ( flying home in am) I was so sick! I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to board my plane but I was ok for am. I had the grape leaves shared with a friend and she didn't get sick so it must have been my dinner, the sour beef and dumplings and it wasn't as good as it looked on television. read more

My wife and I come to the Baltimore area a couple of times a year and we always make it a point to go to "the diner" at least once for dinner. The food is excellent, portions are generous, the place is clean and the service is great. Prices are on the high side for a diner but well worth it. read more

Really good food here weather it's breakfast, lunch or dinner. The environment/atmosphere seems better in the day time due to all the natural light and windows. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Great for a quick in and out breakfast any time of the day. read more

Best crab cakes in town! Shrimp salad is a winner too. This place is a must to visit. I should know, I come back every time I am in town. Darlene Licata Boca Raton, Florida read more

One of my favorite spots for breakfast. They have the best creamed chipped beef ever! The service is usually wonderful. I also love the eggs benedict. My husband and I have had lunch here on several occasions as we are local to the area and the lunch menu is just as good. The restaurant itself is always clean, its well maintained. Service is quick and friendly. The desserts are fresh. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone for a good meal. And the best part is...you dont have to deal with the skanky crowd that frequents Denny's for the cheap food. read more

Although I am a Floridian, whenever I come to Baltimore, my husband always stops at the Boulevard Diner for crab cakes. They are packed with jumbo lump crab meat and are so tasty we savor every bite. Not only do we order the broiled crabcakes, which have very little filler, but also the smaller crab balls for appetizers. Shrimp salad is quite unique, since they use real gulf shrimp rather than farm raised. It is simple, yet spectacular especially when served with the tangy tomato bisque. I'm rather OCD with cleanliness, but Boulevard exceeds my expectations. It's always clean and they constantly disinfect the tables. Everyone wears masks and the bus boy even wore gloves. Boulevard Diner is a wonderful place to visit! read more

Great service. Fresh salad. Sour beef and dumplings tasty but would have preferred more dumplings. Great diner atmosphere!

Good food and service..friendly staff,,,4th time here and love it.. read more

Boulevard Diner - Fresh fruit... - Diners Near Me - Dundalk, Maryland

Have been going here for years, so what happened to me on a recent visit was disappointing. Ordered the tilapia stuffed with crabmeat only to discover the bottom half of my fish had not been cooked. My server and the manager were horrified, offered me another dish (I declined) and removed the meal from my bill. My advise: stick with the breakfast items...you can't go wrong there. read more

Very good dolmades and a friendly and efficient staff make this a solid Four Star choice of eating houses.

crabcakes been great last 2 times. great service. recommend the great food. breakfast &dinner

Came back to give them another try. They STILL refuse to split checks. OK, we've been going elsewhere since then, see you when you go out of business. Betcha MJ doesn't bother to address THIS review. read more

Recommend the Matador meatloaf, with Tabasco, if you like spicy. Chili is on the sweet side. Meal will feed 2 or more. Ms Skye was a delightful waitress. read more

The food is great but they're lacking good management. It's extremely inconsistent and some of the items they up charge for are outrageous. I'd recommend it but if you don't have a good experience, maybe try going another time when better management is on staff. read more

This place serves mediocre, tasteless food... Don't expect anything other than bland lifeless cafeteria food. The best part was the condiments. The waitress was really nice though.. Food sucked. Go to Denny's down the street. read more

What a disappointment. We got simple salads- turkey was slime luncheon meat. Figured couldn't mess up a chocolate cupcake but was I wrong! Tasted like chocolate flavored crisco..... So sad. But even sadder $39.00 for an awful meal.. read more

A trip to Baltimore is never complete without a meal, or two, or three at The Boulevard Diner! Extensive menu, food to make your mouth water just thinking about it (I'm partial to the authentic Greek selections), and a comfortable and clean dining room make this friendly Dundalk institution a favorite of our family. You'll be full from the delicious, large portions - but be sure to order one of the scrumptious desserts to take home with you. So glad Guy Fieri visited and raved about this affordable eatery on his show. Guy and I agree that this is a not-to-be-missed treat. I envy Baltimoreans because they can visit regularly!!! read more

According to Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, this is a greek restaurant. There are a few greek dishes on the menu, but not many. Take note that the menu offers a Mediterranean section that is all italian food. Saturday evening around 7 or so, after the dinner rush but before the "going out to drink" crowd. The hostess showed us to an unset table, though there were several tables in the same section already with silverware and place mats. The waitress was very young and very energetic. I ordered the New England Cod meal. The menu said it came with a soup or salad, entree, potato, vegetable and a dessert (chocolate pudding was one of the three options.) While ordering, I asked for the salad, cod, mashed potatoes, a vegetable and the chocolate pudding. The waitress told me that I would have to wait to order the dessert. The salad arrived and it was an overflowing small plate of iceberg lettuce, a few black olives, 3 very thick slices of cucumber, 4 unripe cherry tomatoes and a shaved slice of red onion. It also arrived before the silverware, so I had to wait for the waitress as she went for the place settings. When the food arrived, it was a very bland, waterlogged piece of cod. It had no flavor even after salt and lemon were added. The mashed potatoes were congealed and cold. I don't even remember what the vegetable was... My dinner companion ordered the chicken fingers and the Philly Steak Fries. The chicken tenders were room temperature. The fries were a large plate of golden brown fries, covered in minced steak that was dry on top and over cooked. The cheese was thin and sparse. When we finally gave up on the food, the waitress rushed over with the check. I asked about the dessert menu and mentioned that I still wanted the chocolate pudding that was supposed to come with my meal. She informed me that they were out of chocolate pudding but could get banana pudding or jello in it's place. I said "the menu clearly says chocolate pudding" and her response was simply "we're out", she layed down the check and walked away. We never did get a dessert menu so we got up and left. Going in, as we walked up the ramp, I remember thinking that I couldn't remember why we hadn't been to the Boulevard Diner in several years... as we were leaving, walking down the ramp, I said "Now I remember why we don't eat here." read more

Found this place like most people. Caught it on DDD. It is a very nice diner, with a very extensive menu. Be prepared - they serve ALOT of food. You definitely get your monies worth at this place. The food is typical diner fair, with slight Greek slant. I had the grape leaves as a starter (Highly recommended), and the meat loaf stack for dinner. I would give the place 3.5 stars for the place itself and the food in general. I would give 4.5 stars for the grape leaves alone! Their bakery is very nice, but the selection is spotty at best. All timing I suppose. I would recommend it. read more

Ordered carry out. Roast turkey with dressing. It was terrible. Forgot to include the mashed potatoes. Asked for dinner rolls and no dinner rolls. Food was not good. read more

I've been going to this diner for years. I have to say that recently it has changed and not for the better. The food has always been good here. My favorite has always been the open face turkey sandwich. Last two times I ordered it, it was cold. I have noticed that the crab soup seems to have changed too. It seems watery and has huge chunks of potatoes in it that are sometimes quite hard. The last time I ordered the meatloaf tower it was cold too. The crab fluffs are delicious. They have a huge selection of dishes. Many are very good but lately I keep getting cold dishes. read more

This diner is SO much better than Broadway Diner. The staff are friendly, the food is higher quality, and the prices are lower.

Love the Boulevard Diner. I eat here everytime I go to Baltimore. Monday through Thursday breakfast is 1/2 off, which is a super great deal. The food is standard diner food, but, it's served with all the charm that the Charm City can offer. Great for families and big groups. This is a welcome staple in my visits. *Tip- Eggs Benedict AND 'The Killers' on the Jukebox equal a great time for my liking. read more

My husband decided to surprise me so he brought me and our 2 little ones here yesterday. I was totally excited because I'm a huge fan of "Drive-Ins, Diners, Dives" on the Food Network show. I would like to think that Guy Fieri wouldn't steer us wrong...wrong, he would. This place was ok. I ordered the half order of the Sour Beef and Dumplings because it was featured on the show. I HATED it... I mean, really disliked it. The big chunks of meat was hard and cold in the center and smothered in a dark brown gravy which is like a sour ordinary brown gravy. The dumpling were bland and desperately needed seasoning. I had to send that back and I am not a fan of doing so. If I wasn't so damn hungry, I would've ignore it. I ordered the chicken fried steak because I was flustered and didn't know what to replace it with. That was good, coating was light and perfectly seasoned. The gravy was creamy...good. The "scrambled" eggs like a scrambled omelet and tasted like a boat load of butter and faintly like lobster(weird I know but could be a good thing). Their homefries were more like a cross between mashed potatoes and fried potatoes. My 2 yr old pancake kids meal was cute and adorned with choc chips. We had the famous grape leaves as an appetizer... didn't love it but didn't hate it. I could only have one and left the rest to my husband. The meat/rice mixture was grainy...dry...the grape leaf itself and a cool texture of being chewy and slightly burnt and bitter. The sauce was lemony and awesome but only if the ground meat was moist... it would've been a home run with that. The best thing we had.. my husband Jumbo lump crab eggs benedict. Huge pieces of some of the freshest lump crab meat I've ever had. They give you a lot of it for the price, the hollandaise is not heavy...everything was perfect. Although i really liked it... we won't be driving all the way here just for it. The service people are friendly and this place although packed, got us a table within 10 min on a Sunday morning. read more

See all

Rubbery chicken, $15 salad with wilted lettuce. There are less expensive places in the area where you can get better quality food. $18 for a lunch salad and fountain soda is completely ridiculous. read more

I love this restaurant! This place is fairly clean and the employees are very nice. However, the last time I went (which was on Sunday), there were a few leaks where the vents were. read more

Fine for standard diner food, but I came here to try the famous sour beef and dumplings and boy oh boy was I disappointed. Huge bowl of overly sweet and unpleasantly sour soup with a few chunks of beef thrown in. Could taste the sugar. Unnecessarily large portion, I hate that feeling that food is being wasted (especially when it doesn't taste good enough to eat as leftovers). I'll probably go back for a cheap breakfast at some point, but not sure I'll be trying many more entrees, unfortunately. read more

This place is hit or miss. It depends on what you order as to how good it is. However, I have always had good service. The prices are a little high. But it's an ok place if you want diner food. read more

Really good stuffed grape leaves. We had the Sour Beef & Dumplings and they were okay. The beef cubes were dry and the taste was just ok. The rest of the food is regular diner fare. Nothing special. I wouldn't go out of my way for this diner. read more

This was my second visit. The first was about five years ago. I don't live or work near it, and if I did, I'd probably eat there more often. I had a tuna club with fries today. The portion of fries was very generous, and the sandwich was good. Service was excellent. I prefer the Broadway Diner, but this one isn't bad at all. read more

I am newly vegan so I decided to try their veggie burger and I was not disappointed! It tastes amazing and my boyfriend who is not vegan tried mine and loved it. So now whenever we order we get the veggie burgers. The service is always great and the employees are the best. read more
