We stopped here for breakfast, one of the best breakfasts I've every had. The home fries were delicious and they added onions at my request. The bacon was so crispy but they offered the choice of limp or crispy. My husband had French toast with eggs and potatoes and needed a doggie bag. Service was great and very friendly. Nice country setting and ambiance. read more

My friend and I were taking a daily trip from Virginia to Maryland. I saw the Clear Springs Country Diner. This was situated on the highway so it would be easy to enter and exit. We were welcomed as we walked in! The lady that took our order was very friendly and professional. She explained the daily specials "especially the All You Can Eat Chicken". This was my friend's favorite! I ordered the hamburger steak. You cannot go away hungry: huge servings and cooked the way you requested! Prices within the range that is shown on the menu! Hope to be able to patronize the Clear Spring Country Diner again! read more

Food was good and plentiful. This restaurant has different seating areas. We were in the back. The area was clean and inviting. Our waitress was knowledgeable and thorough but several times we had to prompt her for things. Great location for this diner. We will return wanting another piece of coconut cake!! read more

Food and service was amazing, would recommend to anyone wanting a good breakfast and a comfy spot to take a break at.

We found this diner in our way to DC and were so impressed we stopped on our way home. Once again a fantastic breakfast for two for $24! Each of us had 2 eggs, hash browns, sausage, toast, coffee and a huge glass of juice! read more

Great food prepared perfectly, excellent portions, reasonable prices! Breakfast available all day!!! Service is warm and friendly! read more

The food is good and the prices are right. Portions are nice. We've always had good service. The parking is ok as it can get packed on weekend mornings. The restaurant seems clean. The menus could be updated or laminated as they show a lot of wear. We like it here and will continue to return for a tasty breakfast! read more

amazing, I love all the food. The service is amazing. And the ambience is even better. Five stars

Solid diner! Passing through, we stopped here for breakfast and had a delicious meal. The pancakes were great - fluffy and buttery - so buttery! - with the slightest crisp edge. I'd come back just for these. The table also split some biscuits and sausage gravy, which were filling and good. The veggie omelet was pretty tasty too. The home fries and hash browns were okay, not bad but not spectacular. This is a place where they'll always keep your coffee cup filled and will make sure you're well fed. All at a great price. Definitely recommended. read more

Its been a while since I've eaten breakfast. Like a whole 7 days! That time goes by too quickly. I never would have known this place even existed and I frequently drive up and down this interstate. I love the heart shape, bistro chairs. I also love the chalkboard wall of menu items. Seems like this facility is family run and operated and they have dependable staff. You seat yourself and are taken care of almost immediately. They serve breakfast all day. That's five stars right there. I usually like a well rounded breakfast with equally sweet and salty items. I ordered the blueberry pancake, sausage gravy and an egg with toast and sausage. Oh, and the hot tea for me was a big deal. The cup was huge and refills were offered - which never happens for hot tea in other restaurants. I think my favorite thing is this. read more

I have been looking forward to coming by here for a couple months after reading an article on it online. At any rate, stopped here on my way down state on a business trip a Sunday morn. This is off the interstate on scenic 40- which I would recommend to drive on from Cumberland to Hagerstown at least once. Drive up around Sideling Hill, stop at the pull over overlooks, spend some time the back way, etc. At any rate now that I've calmed down- ordered breakfast. This place is a small quaint place with plenty of tables and the locals coming in every morning for a cup and a plate. Either way- nice spot. Went with the 2 eggs, toast, and bacon combo- which came with home fries (yuge), and added a pancake with a cup of coffee and a water. The eggs were scrambled, seasoned properly and got standard breakfast must-have, plenty of bacon (4 strips!), and home fries were a scalloped potatoes crispy side or fried-side prepared. Very tasty. As far as the pancake- it was the circumference of a bowling ball, nice and fluffy. Plenty of jellies and jams to pick from, and the coffee was refilled constantly. Service was very good and attentive - I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place as a great option other than the usual Denny's/IHOP/etc. read more

For almost as long as I've lived in this area, I have been wanting to check this place out. It's always busy when I pass by, so I assumed they must be really good. Unfortunately, after dining there with my GF this morning, I was rather underwhelmed. I don't want this to be all negative though, as the place was far from horrible. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is what I would expect from a diner/country restaurant. It was cozy and inviting. In particular, my GF and I really liked the corrugated tin ceiling. The food however, left me wanting. First was the coffee. Diner coffee is usually always good. I've eaten at lots of them across the country and that's usually pretty consistent. I don't know if it's due to cheap coffee or what, but it was a bit acrid. My GF said that the unsweetened ice tea was really good though, and I would agree having had a sip. We both ordered the sausage gravy over toast (there was no biscuit option that we could see) and home fries. The home fries were probably the best part of the entire meal. They were light and crispy, and they appeared to be deep fried which led to a nice even done-ness without any burnt or uncooked parts. The sausage gravy itself was pretty disappointing though. On its own, it had almost no flavor. Unless I was eating a piece of sausage directly, I couldn't taste any. It almost seemed like it didn't simmer long enough. There was also no seasoning that I could taste. It took a heavy dose of black pepper, salt, and hot sauce to give anything even close to resembling flavor. The sausage gravy from fast food chain, Hardees has way more flavor in it. Toast also is not the best vessel for sausage gravy, turning into a soggy mess. Then, there was the scrambled eggs I got on the side. They were overcooked, had almost no taste and were chopped up so small that I would have been better eating them with a spoon instead of a fork. Maybe their non-breakfast fare is better, but since I usually judge a diner/country restaurant on their breakfast food, it's probably going to be a long time before I attempt a second try. read more

This place has a special place in my heart. Growing up this was one of our "no-brainer" we will go to the CS diner for dinner, kind of places. The cream of crab soup. Literally THE BEST you will ever have. The spiral potato appetizer with cheese is SO yum as well! The service is great! Every worker is super friendly and are super attentive! The feel of the place is very "at home" and old diner feel! Love this place! Forever a favorite! read more

Excellent food! We stopped here on our way up to Deep Creek. Not far from the highway and easy to get back on. Definitely stop here for a good bite! read more

Traveling RT70 stopped in after snow storm to have breakfast. Great food low cost and quick friendly service. I will be back on my way home.

After a long day drive, this was one of the few options but definitely worth it! The service was a little slow, but the crab fries and crab soup were so good! We also had beer cod and a patty melt. Everything tasted delicious! The desserts looked good too but we were too full to try them! read more

Slow and Over Charged We got there just after seven. Got our meals at 7:52 and they close at 8. Started putting chairs on tables and closing up but it wasn't our fault it took so long. Severely overcharged. Anything that was a combo meal was charged as individual pieces. $3.99 kids meals were $10. Other combo breakfast meals more. Probably paid $30 above the prices that were on the menu. read more

Worth the drive off the interstate. Just the right amount of meat inside my omelette. My husband ordered the egg and sausage sandwich on swirl rye. Our breakfast meal was very good. Nice mom and pop diner. We are always looking for one to eat at while traveling read more

Great food, great service, and yummy desserts. Portion Sizes were huge on our country ham and chopped steak dinners. The stewed tomatoes tasted just like my grandmother made. We took chocolate pie back home with us and it didn't disappoint. Very delicious. Would have given 5 stars but the AC was not working well and we were sweating during dinner. read more

After having to hike a great distance at Fort Frederick, we needed to regain our energy and fuel up. found this place at Yelp, I love this place because of the food. Looking for a fresh home cooked meal this is the place to be. I brought my daughter and friend from out of state to enjoy the activities and foods and they were very impress. And so was I. All the dishes and desserts were incredible fresh And deliscious. No bad comment here. All A plus rating in our book. We are a foodie and this place is like a five star rating of delisciousness You definitely need to stop by and try the dishes in the menu. You won't regret it! read more

This is an unassuming old time restaurant where locals hang out. They have the best cream of crab soup I've ever had. My husband has also tried the potato soup and really enjoyed it. On various visits we've eaten: Chicken sandwich Onion rings Mac & cheese Turkey open faced sandwich Beer-battered cod Waffle fries Hush puppies Chocolate cake with peanut butter Pumpkin roll Red velvet cake Everything is hot and quite good. The service is friendly and the price is appropriate. We always visit at least once when we come to Whitetail. read more

Who would have thought this little diner would be so pleasant. Complete with I Love Lucy wall hangings and a waitress with a smile. We zipped in pre White Tail ski day. It was a perfect breakfast of French toast, bacon, and home fries. I thought it was excellent! I really wanted the fried chicken and Almond Joy pie, but it was 8 am! Next time! read more

Great local diner - if you're passing by and looking for authentic American food, I highly recommend it!

Should you ever find yourself in Washington County or Clear Spring, MD for the day like I was a few weeks ago, this is DEFINITELY the place to stop for breakfast. It's a local diner with a very casual feel. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, which was cooked to smoky perfection, and honey barbecue wings which were rightfully crispy and slathered in barbecue sauce the way barbecue wings should be. Sandwiches come with fries but they will happily substitute fries for a salad if you ask. They have a nice variety of daily specials, breakfast all day, and they also sell local honey from a local farm! The location is not hard to find and it may look small from the outside but trust me there are a lot of tables inside! They are also taking lots of COVID-19 precautions and have been very diligent, at least during my visit, to wipe down tables, require social distancing between booths and tables, and masks are required indoors. They have a few outdoor tables as well if that makes you feel safer. Definitely check them out if you're in Clear Spring, and GET the WINGS! read more

Stopped at this quaint little diner based on the reviews I saw on Yelp but I have to say my experience was completely different than those listed. Got the fried chicken lunch special on Sunday. Seemed awesome for $7.99 until the food arrived. The macaroni salad was store bought, which is ashame since it's so cheap to make, and was not good. The fried chicken arrived (note fried chicken takes 20 minutes because it is cooked to order) with two large chicken breasts and a soup cup of baked beans. I was completely excited because I was starving! The fried chicken that they are "known" for was disappointing as well. The dredge was so salty it was nearly inedible. The chicken was ok but not as moist as I had hoped it to be. The baked beans were just canned baked beans heated up. However, the worst part of the meal was dessert. I figured with everyone raving about their homemade desserts perhaps this could be the hail mary....but it was not to be. The holy cow cake I was served had a burned flavor and left an ash tray type taste in my mouth. Perhaps we just came on an off day for this diner but I cannot recommend this diner after my experience. read more

This a a local diner with home baked cooked food. Just like you would make at your own home. Friendly staff and great locals. My husband had the Swiss steak special. Tender beef mashed potatoes and peas and carrots with gravy. I had the chicken salad sandwich. Great diner off the beaten path for a mile but well with it read more
