Everything was delicious especially the chicken With lemon cream sauce, broiled salmon was perfect. Greek salad dressing was the best I have had. Crab cake was delicious with lumps of meat for days just needed to be cooked longer. I would definitely come back , great food with excellent customer service read more

The nostalgic atmosphere was great. The staff are professional and courteous and the food was good. Portion wise was great.

My daughter and I were hungry and both had a sweet tooth. It was way past 11:00 pm. On Saturday night and every was closed. I was searching and actually found a place with 4 stars that was open. Not only were they open but they have an extensive menu with American, Italian and Mediterranean food. And they have desserts. Not just any desserts but fancy multiple layers of cake and wonderful cream. I got Greek wedding cake. It was delightful. I'm not into really heavy icing and was amazing! My daughter a 4 layer red velvet and cream cheese cake slice. I ordered spinach pie and a Rueben both were delicious. My daughter ordered gyro with fries. Everything was just delicious. They lady who took my order, waitress, woman at the cake counter and cashier were very nice and polite. I'll be going back for sure. I was really satisfied. read more

I am a North Jersey guy, just want to qualify with that. This is a diner. This is not a little restaurant using the word Diner in it's name, this is a real diner. The menu is too big and the servers are Greek looking. The food is very good. If you know diners, just go here. read more

As Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives would say, "That's money!" And that it was. My friends and I were kinda in the neighborhood while waiting to pick up someone at BWI (actually it's REALLY out of the way but it's worth the trip if you're waiting to get to a late flight). I would've picked a place in Lithicum if we were just waiting for the airport, but since my friend really, really, really wanted to go the hubs and I agreed to join up. Everything about this place is huge. The diner itself is huge. The menu is huge (both in size and offerings). The dinner portions are huge. The shrimps in their seafood entrees are huge. The flavors are huge. The people who eat at this place are huge. What's not huge is the size of their milkshakes (could be kid-size huge?). My crab cake sandwich included a baseball-sized mount of medium-breaded crab chunks molded to a perfect mound of broiled goodness accompanied with almost-too-chewy buns and beer-battered fries. Good flavor but the breading was excessive compared to what you can get in area seafood restaurants. My husband's shrimp gumbo was hearty with lots of cajun spices and just the right amount of shrimp and sausage. It was either this dish or the Shrimp Creole that was featured in that beloved FoodTV show. Overall food was steps beyond what you can find in a regular diner. You can't miss finding this place off Eastern Ave - this diner lights up like Christmas with all the neon lights. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if I happen to drive by this place during a road trip I'd definitely stop by. read more

I had THE WORST experience at this place. We came here with my family who eats here often. I ordered a salad with NO Bleu cheese and ended up getting one with Bleu cheese. I asked the waitress to exchange or take it off the bill since cheese makes me sick. She had to get her manager for some odd reason. Here's the insane part: They made the waitress PAY for my salad!!!!!! I took two freaking bites out of it and SHE had to pay. The management here is terrible. Our manager, Nancy, had a disgusting attitude and was so rude and unprofessional. Not to mention her appearance was nauseating. She should NOT be a manager here. I'm reporting this business to the better business bureau to make sure they get a bad rating. Horrible! Our waitress was awesome. Unfortunately, she was in tears because her manager yelled at her and humiliated her in front of a Sunday crowd of people. I'm sickened by them!!!! DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Been wanting to go here since seeing this place on Triple D. Was absolutely blown away. Food was amazing and as best I could tell it was all made in house. My wife and I had mac/cheese ball appetizer, Reuben with inhouse made pastrami, and burger with cajun sauce. And the fries have to be the best fries we've ever had. Portion size was huge, price reasonable, and service better than a new mother caring for her new born. I cant wait to get back to Baltimore read more

What can I say about my visit at Broadway , it was very pleasant food was pretty decent the service was wonderful. Despite the 16% servers charge . Yikes , my boyfriend order the ultimate grilled cheese and he seemed pleased . The crab soup I order was filled with crab, our drinks were also made to my liking not too heavy on the alcohol. I would only change my order, I was a bit too eager and tried something new and wasn't happy about it . My appetizers filled me up so I was full at the end o the night and a little tipsy lol read more

Wasn't too sure about the area but when we got to the Diner, there were a lot of cars in the parking lot so at least we weren't alone so it seemed pretty safe. I had the Greek Combo Platter that comes a long with a Greek side salad. Where I live, there's not much cultural culinary diversity so these delicious new flavors were quite welcomed! The salad had a ton of feta cheese, real kalamata olives and crisp greens, red onions, cucumbers and a yummy sweet Greek dressing. The Mousaka is soooo delicious! I loved the cream sauce and the potatoes were cooked to perfection! The Pastichio was even better! Very meaty and filled with yummy noodles! And the Spinach Pie (Spanikopita) was delightful! There was a ton of food so I definitely had left overs! Now the desserts looked AWESOME!!!! I wanted to try everything! But we got the chocolate mouse (filled with creamy chocolate mousse) and the strawberry tart with sweet strawberries! I really like this place! I can't wait to go back! Also, each booth has its own jukebox so that made the whole theme seemed even cooler! Not to mention the place is well decorated and CLEAN! Oh and f.y.i all the yummy sauteed dishes you've seen on Diner's Drive-inns and Dives are usually served before 10pm! So get there early! Definitely the best diner I've been to since my Uncle Ernie's diner back in the day in San Diego!!!! read more

I was in search for a good patty melt so I reviewed the menu on line to make sure it was offered. We were at the Baltimore boat show, so we figured a 5 mile detour was worth it, especially if the food was good. Growing up in the Midwest, patty melts were a staple - grilled buttered rye bread with sauteed caramelized onions, a beef patty and oodles of melted American cheese. These sandwiches are as ubiquitous there as cheese steaks in Philly. Every coffee shop, diner and mom and pop place offers them. The menu was huge, and I perused out of curiosity but my mind was already decided. Service was great, the booths were comfy and the gigantic soda servings were more than adequate. The food came out quickly as I am sure they have an army back there considering the quantity and variety of items offered. My only frown came when I saw the fries on the generously piled plate ......battered. YUCK. I prefer my spuds as virgin as possible, without any twists. I had a taste of one or two, and they had good flavor, were very crunchy but I just couldn't really relish them. The melt was perfect, however. The beef patty was char broiled and still pink like a medium should be. The bread was perfectly browned and buttery, the meat was juicy, the onions were perfectly limp and delicious. Everything co mingled with the melted cheese for a wonderful bite. I had full intentions of only eating half, but I managed to finish it all. Probably because I didn't eat the fries. The coleslaw was quite edible and the pickle very tasty. All in all, a great place to indulge in some diner food heaven. read more

My wife and I were visiting some friends in MD this weekend and I was on a mission to try one of the Baltimore establishments featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We were looking for a place to have breakfast this morning and it was between the Broadway and the Blue Moon Cafe. After my usual pre-dining ritual of Yelp consultation, it seemed that there would be a monumental wait at the Blue Moon, so we decided to go with the Broadway. Good decision - thanks, Yelp (and Guy Fieri). The restaurant was located right off 95, so it was a very convenient stop on the way back to Philadelphia. We were seated immediately and marveled at how well they handled the large crowed. There were tons of people there, but as everyone entered, they were promptly given a table in the cavernous restaurant. The menu was huge and the food was very good. My wife got the stuffed French Toast and loved it. I got the regular French Toast, which was good, but I regretted not ordering one of the creative-sounding pancake dishes (pecan, banana, etc.). The service was extremely fast and pleasant. We definitely plan on returning the next time we are in MD. read more

I don't understand the love for this place. We had a great meal here on our first visit a few years ago, and have been disappointed since, but for some reason keep going back (convenience?). Menu has the same dishes listed in several locations to make it appear larger than it is. There's like 5 varieties of broiled fish but they all are only available with a lemon butter sauce. Sauces on entrees are all overly salty. Sliced turkey on sandwiches is incredibly dry. Many sandwiches served on rolls too small and too soft for the fillings inside, causing them to fall apart and requiring knife and fork to eat. Breakfast is breakfast, hard to mess up really (pancakes are a tad on the pasty side). Portions are not overly large (that's a compliment). Service staff excellent, Management staff rude. Very expensive for a diner. read more

Classic diner. And still a bargain. Weekday specials for breakfast can get you juice, coffee, eggs, hashies and toast for under $4.00. Are you listening , Silver Diner. Juke box is really eclectic - everything but hip hop, classical, and barbershop. Evanescence, Maroon 5, Willie Nelson, Josh Groban... just to name a few. Service was impeccable - took our drink orders as we were sitting down. And don't even look at the desserts, or you will be compelled to indulge. Some are unique. And it is open 24 hours - but looks impeccably clean. If it is good enough to wow Guy Fieri, who am I to argue? Will be back next time in Charm City. read more

There is a beautiful manager that works in the evenings on weekends there that will make you eat your heart out! I can't pronounce her name but it begins with a G. Awesome!! read more

Follow that Guy #6. This is the 6th restaurant that we've followed Guy to. As far as diners go, it's certainly one of the better ones. It's got better ingredients and it's cleaner. But as a destination restaurant? I have a hard time justifying a long road trip for Broadway Diner. First, the menu is overwhelming and confusing. If it wasn't for Guy, I wouldn't know what to order. Second, even listening to Guy, the food was pretty ordinary. The Broadway Festival is merely a seafood pasta with a lobster tail. Yes, it was prepared quite well. Yes, it tastes better than most diner food. But ultimately, I'd expect a similar quality dish if I was paying $21.95 at any other restaurant. The most convincing reason why anybody should come to Broadway Diner is if you find yourself in Baltimore at 3AM and there's nowhere else of quality substance that's open. Bottomline: A good spot for locals but hardly worth becoming a destination pilgrimage. [Original Visit: November 27, 2010] read more

The food was great, the manager was very friendly. The server was amazing. You must try their desserts!!

Normally I would give this place a 3-4 stars but after today and the absolute stupid "rule" that they have, I wish I could give zero stars. My boyfriend and I walk in ready for some yummy breakfast. I had a workout bottle with water in it. The hostess tells me I can't bring outside drinks. Why?! I tell her it's just water and she says it doesn't matter. What if I had my 3yr old nephew with me who likes to have his own water bottle with juice in it? What if he was drinking Pedialyte? I could understand if I had a soda bottle or was bringing food inside, but water? I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Broadway Diner - The water bottle banned from here. - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

There were 3 of us and we ordered stuff that Guy recommended. 1- the Broadway Festival, AMAZING! The seafood was soooooo fresh and delish! 2- Shrimp Creole - OMG, absolutely delish, it's not just spicy and set your mouth on fire, it actually has flavor. 3- Spinach Pie and Moussaka something, also amazing! The food is delish, and menu is super overwhelming, and the ambiance is like your regular diner. Everything looked amazing on the tables around us, so I wouldn't be surprised that everything there is delicious. I have every intention of going back - I would never have expected a diner to have such fresh and delicious seafood! read more

For having obviously mediocre diner food it was acceptable. The problem is after they overcharged me, then did nothing to rectify it, the manager proceeded to tell me he doesn't need my business anyway and hung up the phone and will not answer.Im still I'm dealing with the bank for the money they overcharged us. Rude, uncaring and disorganized management. Please double-check and ask for a itemized receipt because they don't give you one hoping that they can squeeze extra money out of you. read more

THE CLOSEST THING TO A JERSEY DINER IN BALTIMORE. And I ought to know. You watch the Sopranos? You see da one with the statue at the church fair where the ride goes for crap? That's my families (god rest gramma's soul) parish. Ok, so it's hard to transplant the full effect to Maryland. For example, Ocean City is NO Seaside Heights--oh yeah, I grew up there too. Even been to the Bamboo Bar! So now that i have established my Diner Cred---Let me Tell you, the Pancake and Eggs with Bacon is just like that Greek Guy with the Camero use to make me after a night of drinking Tuaca and coke. And now I even eat them after I wake up instead of before I pass out. The Oatmeal is even good and who the heck eats Oatmeal unless the doctor freaking tells you. The coffee-good. Who needs that Starbuck crapola anyways. Oh, they got one thing on Jersey...the chocolate cake rats in the display case. Nice touch. Now, onto the beef. Good burgers, the fries are hot and salty just like carbs ought to be. I'm not sure there is a guy in the kitchen named Vinny-goon-batz, but it tastes like there is. Just check your attitude and your gangs colors at the door. This is a family place. read more

Ok so I just can't get over the Broadway Diner. This place is just a great place to go for some many reasons. 1. Fast and comfortable seating 2. Efficient servers who have no attitude and actually REFILL your drinks 3. Wide array of any kind of food you could possbily be in the mood for - it may not be the best you ever had but it's decent. 4. ENORMOUS portions that double as leftovers once or twice over. The chicken gumbo last weekend was excellent and the bowl was the biggest I have ever seen served at a restaurant. 5. Pretty dessert case as you walk in is very enticing. 6. Finally, free and amble parking (especially good since this area is a bit dark and a little sketchy). read more

We stopped there on Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The seat of the booth had debris. I had to clean it off before sitting down. The server was inattentive and very slow. My turkey club sandwich was dry and the French fries tasted like fish. I assume they are frying fish on the same oil. I reported this to the server who could not care less. She said that a piece of fish may have fallen into that fryer because the place was busy earlier. No excuse. Sorry. Will not go there again. read more

Came here because we saw it on the Food Network. We got breakfast, and it was just OK. Guess that's what I should've expected from ordering an omelet, but it was pretty weak. My brother had the elvis peanut butter french toast, which he about died from happiness when it arrived. You can't really go wrong with peanut butter, bananas, caramel, chocolate syrup and granola! If we go back, I'll try the specials they recommend. read more

Excellent for a diner. The coffee is flowing....the desserts are huge and lovely. This is a lovely spot to meet up for some grub late night. They have some yummy cookies and if you get them with coffee......your cup will be full at all times. Let's get real here.....diners usually suck. This one is pretty awesome though. read more

So LoML and I had the usual errands to run, and we ended up at Eastern and Kane with rather large appetites, so we decided to try Broadway Diner after looking at the reviews. We'd driven by here a million times, but had never stopped before. The diner was doing a brisk business for a Saturday morning, but it wasn't crowded and there was no wait. The decor is cute, very "fifties style", and the place is actually very clean and comfortable. The little jukeboxes at each table were a nice touch. After perusing the menu for a bit, I decided on an omelette Florentine and an order of fried pickles (I know, fried pickles? Wait, though, read on), while LoML indulged himself with a Belgian waffle (complete with whipped cream and strawberry syrup). The portions were good-sized and filled us up quite nicely - and the food was really good, I will say. The omelette in particular tasted great, especially dipped in the horseradish sauce that came with the fried pickles. Service was extremely pleasant and efficient. (More on that below.) Our only problem with this place was the prices - they were SERIOUSLY high for diner-style breakfast food. The minute we found out that Guy Fieri had been here, we groaned because we KNEW the prices would be overinflated, and in this case, we were right. I'm sorry, but 33 dollars for two diner breakfasts is OUTRAGEOUS. We also didn't like the automatic 15% gratuity, though we do agree that the service was most definitely worth that and more. But, still - let US decide when to tip and how much, okay, thanks. We'd maybe come again, but we'll be sure to do it when we have extra money to blow. Seriously, the food might have been delicious, but the prices left a bad taste in my mouth. Tip For Diabetics: At first, I had a LOT of trouble ordering here - this is a diner, so I didn't expect that I'd find a lot that I could eat, but I was really struggling to find something that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and that I could safely indulge in. It wasn't easy, I can say that. With that said, there are a few options on the menu. For breakfast, you'll probably want to stick with the eggs. Omelettes are okay, but they come with grits/toast or home fries, which of course is off limits for most of us. There's a steak and egg combo that might work for you, but of course - it comes with.... well, you know. I got around that by requesting something else - since I can't have potatoes or most cereals/breads, they let me select from the vegetable menu, and I got a broccoli/caulifower/carrot combination that tasted absolutely dynamite. The server was really patient with me and understanding of my condition, so extra props for that. For lunch/dinner options, most of the salads are safe, as are the combos with steak. You really just want to watch the add-ons here, because most of the time it's rice or potatoes, something that for me isn't a good choice. I did see the "chocolate rats" in the bakery case and I must admit I was pretty impressed at the presentation. I don't know that I'd risk an insulin shot to eat one, but they really DID look delicious. The fried pickles were just "okay" - I ordered those and ended up having to strip off most of the breaded coating because it was just too greasy and I didn't want to risk a glucose spike. The horseradish sauce they came with, however, was GREAT on my eggs. If there was a way I could get the sauce alone, I would have. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. YMMV. Seek medical advice and tailor my review to your situation. I simply provide opinion. read more

I feel odd rating diners as anything other than "okay" because that is... honestly what I kind of expect/want when i go to them. Generally, when I walk into a diner, I am drunk and tired and want french fries and medicore/terrible coffee. If you offer those to me, diners of the world, I will like you. And that is obviously what was delivered to me. French fries. Terrible coffee. And a pretty good sandwich, too. Would I make a point of coming here? Nope. But if I am drunk and in the area (which is not out of the realm of possibility) then we will meet again, BD. read more

Disco fries. The only thing that includes the word disco that I love. These fries are amazing...essentially gravy cheese fries stuck under the broiler to get all crispy and delicious. As for the other food well it's all good. My wife loves the spinach pie (which is pricey at $11 but comes with a big greek salad.) The burgers are big and great and the goulash was tender and flavorful. The dinner rolls are also amazing. This place takes the time to do the little things well. They are a bit pricey (thus the 4 stars) but well worth it. read more

Love this place. Mostly get breakfast and it's always good but really like the tzatziki. It's not on the menu but they will warm up pita and serve with tzatziki if you ask. read more

Okay best goulash in the world. I should do a piece on diners only. I just love diners. I really never get bad service at the diners. You always get salad or soup with your meal. They always bring out nice fresh bread, and they always have a beautiful Showcase of desserts! what more do you need for your eating pleasure? Oh I left out the fact that you could get breakfast all day long! I like breakfast as much as I like dessert. I saw this Diner on Triple D and decided to find it. On Triple D they were saying that this Diner made the best goulash. Oh boy do they! I hadn't eaten good goulash since leaving New Jersey oh yeah that's right New Jersey has like billions of diners lol. My friends had steak...hamburger.....and pasta, they looked as happy as I did lol ok on the way out, I had to stop at the dessert case lol..what? thats food. I took home, New York Cheesecake Cake, Red Velvet Cake, Carrot Cake and a couple of cannolis. Hey ya know you don't have to eat this all at once. You can freeze it and have it at a later date....or.....just have the sugar rush that we all dream of. read more

Not much I can add to the many great reviews already here. Best crab cakes I've had in a long time. Big and meaty. Good burger with great onion rings ...large, fresh, hand breaded, crisp without being crispy. Large portions and friendly service. Diners don't get any better then this. read more

I cannot believe the portions you get at this place. We headed here after seeing it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and weren't disappointed. It was a GIGANTIC place and we were served quickly and our food was piping hot. Everything was delicious, but there was so much left over it was comical! We went for breakfast, but after seeing what was on DDD, I wish we would have gone back for dinner! The place was really clean and the server was very friendly, I would definitely go back! read more

I went here with some friends when we were had a late-night craving for diner food. We didn't feel like driving to our favorite place (Nautilus Diner in Towson), so I suggested this place. I'd been a few years ago, but didn't really remember what it was like. It was okay. I got a gyro and sweet potato fries. The gyro was mediocre and the fries were soggier than I like. My friends liked their food, so I guess they have some good stuff. Won't trek through the city to go again though. read more

Always open and always hits the spot! I'm pretty stingy about giving out 5 stars, but Broadway Diner never disappoints and gets two big thumbs up from me. I come here whenever I want a big breakfast or I can't quite decide where I wanna go -- it's great b/c there are a million different things to try (admittedly, 99% of the time I get breakfast, but my friends have tried various things from the special seafood pasta to meatloaf sandwich), and they are always good to great. We don't have to wait around, and the service is fast. Whenever I feel uninspired about trying out some new place, I suggest this place to my friends, and we leave satisfied. :) read more

Broadway diner has the best breakfast food for any time a day. I was hungry one night after leaving a wedding. I know I know leaving a wedding I shouldn't even be hungry. I wanted some breakfast food. Some really, really good breakfast food. I knew going to Broadway Diner, I wasn't going to be disappointed. I ordered two eggs, bacon, home fries, toast, and side of grits. I know that was a lot. I was hungry from all the dancing I was doing. The platter was around $11.00. I think. It was well worth the money I spent. read more

Just a basic diner but the seafood is very fresh. I don't live in the area but everytime I come to the area I go to this diner for the grilled cheese with lump crab. read more

I liked how they decorated the restaurant. They have games and music box at the table so you can enjoy a while you are waiting your foods. Our waiter was very nice and kind. We were enjoy our foods and will be back. read more

Agree with Bob on a tough bunch of reviewers. Ate here today with my wife and our total bill was $22. Not sure where the "overpriced" thing comes from in other reviews. It puts all the other diners around here to shame. I had the Hobo's Banquet (home fries topped with cheese and eggs) with toast and a side of grits. My wife had the chipped beef. Both were excellent and we both said we'd never be able to eat at our closest Double T again after eating there. Really diverse menu with a lot of specials. read more

Haven't been here in 2 years but stopped by today for lunch and as always was not disappointed . I love Greek diners growing up in NY and this one ranks up there with the ones in NJ and Long Island. Food was plentiful and so fast . You can't beat the service. Gyro sandwich fries , BLT/ Fries coffee and ice teas for two 25 bucks. Seating area is pretty large and they are open 24hrs. Just off I-95 in Eastern Ave good location. 4 of 5 stars is accurate. This is for diner afficienados , don't expect a high end restaurant read more

I try to eat there as often as I can. The food is five stars good The staff is excellent The cost is reasonable The location is convenient and close to well travelled routes. read more
