    Great spot and really friendly staff. It's ear they're popular as thru have repeat customers who they remember. We only stopped by to get some breakfast sandwiches to go. I got a spam, egg and cheese sandwich on wheat with butter and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend!

    California Omelette with hashbrowns
    Monica T.

    Definitely a local spot! Everyone eating there knew each other. Tiny inside, just a couple tables. Friendly service and a very clean restaurant. The price is right. $10 average for an omelette with potatoes & toast. I ordered the California Omelette with hash browns and rye toast. It was a very good omelette. Eggs were light and it felt healthy. I've never had avocado in an omelette before and it was delicious warm. Served with American cheese. Hashbrowns were a little crispy, the home fries were light and very yummy. Would definitely go back here if we are passing through town again!

    Sausage omelet with home fries

    I started coming here after I started a new job, and a coworker recommended this place. I've tried their sandwiches, omelets, and egg platters. All are such a bang for your buck. The staff have always been friendly towards me. I'm a new customer, but I have quickly become a regular. I recommend trying this place if you haven't yet.

    French toast breakfast w/ 2 eggs sunny side up, bacon, and home fries. $10.99

    The vibe is really good here, and it made for a dreamy early Saturday morning. All three booths were full when we arrived but one of them was getting ready to head out, so we were seated very quickly. There was space at the counter and a couple of two person tables available as well. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the service was fast and friendly. I'll have to come back here and try out the lunch.

    Delicious Cheesesteak Sub with everything and fries!
    Desiree C.

    I was craving a cheesesteak and used Yelp to find a sandwich shop nearby. I didn't even read the reviews but chose this spot because it was close and actually right next door to a sushi restaurant I frequent. When I walked in, the place appeared clean and it smelled good. I was greeted and placed my order. While waiting for my food I noticed the "Daily Special" & also studied the menu. They are reasonably priced and offer a vast selection of menu items for breakfast & lunch... all kinds of breakfast sandwiches & platters, Ramen noodle soup, and of course what I specifically visited them for, sub sandwiches! My food came and I opted to dine in. It was delicious, seasoned well, and the fries were hot and crunchy on the outside yet soft in the middle like I prefer. I tried to eat the whole thing but couldn't so I requested a bag and was charged 5 cents. Honestly, that's the only problem I have with this spot. It's odd to me to charge a customer who purchased food from your establishment, for a take-home bag for leftovers. I know inflation is going on but I don't think that was the best way to save money or cut costs. Even though that tidbit disturbed me, my food was tasty therefore I do plan to return to try other items.

    Spicy Italian sausage, egg and cheese
    Rachel H.

    Stumbled upon this spot recently and tried a few breakfast sandwiches. The regular sausage egg and cheese was our favorite (they stack two sausage patties on the sandwich), but the spicy Italian sausage egg and cheese was delicious too. The coffee was your typical diner coffee. I didn't realize it was Korean-owned, so I definitely want to come back to try the bulgogi. This is a quaint mom and pop shop that I'm happy to support.

    Korean beef with rice
    Lay R.

    We had a delicious tuna melt sandwich, nicely toasted and korean beef with rice. It is one of the best I had. The breakfast food look delicious and plan to try next. This place is in my neighborhood but I just don't think of them.

    Western omelette with wheat toast, hash browns, and hot green tea.
    Jack L.

    This is one of those places I wish I had discovered sooner. I usually have Chinese takeout for dinner from Great Wall (also located at this strip mall), and every time I walked by the Elkridge Deli Cafe, I saw it was closed. So I wondered if they were in business or not. Then subsequently, I saw the business hours of 6 AM-3 PM. After checking out the reviews and what they had to offer, I decided to pay a visit. The restaurant is small, with only a few tables plus some seats at the counter. But it has a nice quaint atmosphere, a very pleasant mom and pop flavor to it. The women that work there are very friendly, greeting you as you come through the door. It was busy on my first visit from last summer; a full lunch time crowd, but I was able to get a seat at the counter. From just the initial visit, I could tell they have a thriving business with a lot of regulars that both ate in or had pick up. It seemed like the patrons and owners know each other on a first name basis. I tried their Korean BBQ Bul-Go-Gi sub with fries on my first visit (didn't want to have the same old, same old cold/hot subs -- I can go to Subway for that), and it hit the spot. Hot and moist meat; spicy but not too spicy; I didn't have to wash it down with a drink to cool off my mouth with every bite. Although as in the case with having hot subs, the rolls got a little soft and soggy after a while, so I used a fork and knife to finish the rest. I had their western omelette breakfast platter (with toast and hash browns) on a more recent visit, and that too was delicious -- nice and piping hot, with the cheese, meats and veggies oozing out. I like that they prepare your dishes like home cooked meals, as opposed to the fast food variety that's been sitting under hot lamps.

We were walking out to Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror and honestly it felt like a perfect sendoff. Between the two of us we worked through sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, French toast, and potatoes -- everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and came out fast. The service was friendly without being over the top. Fair warning: don't come expecting espresso drinks or mimosas, it's a traditional diner. But they do have oat milk, and fresh dairy alternatives. This is the kind of neighborhood spot you want in your rotation. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back.

Service is attentive, and orders are processed quickly. I encourage anyone who has also walked past Doozy's to stop and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

    I don't write reviews lightly, but what happened at Willy's has crossed every line of safety,…read moreprofessionalism, and basic human decency. My fiancé and I have supported this local spot for years. It used to be a reliable go-to. But over time, something shifted--and now I know exactly what it is: the cook, Laura. On 11/28, I ordered steak and eggs. What I was served was not just unappetizing--it was dangerous. The steak smelled rancid, oozed a grayish liquid, and had visible discoloration. We flagged it immediately. Today, we returned to follow up and were horrified to learn that Laura had been explicitly told not to use those steaks because they were spoiled--and she served them anyway. Let that sink in. Why wasn't the meat discarded? Why did she knowingly serve it? Is she untrained, negligent, or something worse? And more importantly--why is she still employed? This isn't an isolated incident. Months ago, I stopped in for a quick lunch and became violently ill within the hour. I had to pull over to vomit and missed an important business meeting. I suspected something was off then, and from that point on, I would call ahead to make sure Laura wasn't cooking. Recently, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. That was a mistake. There's a level of disregard here that feels personal. When I asked to speak with her after learning about the spoiled meat, the staff refused and smirked like it was a joke. It's not. This could have led to hospitalization--or worse. This is a public health issue. Laura's actions were reckless, and the restaurant's failure to act is inexcusable. I'm mortified, furious, and deeply disappointed. Willy's was once a place I proudly supported. Now, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Until there's accountability, I won't be back--and I urge others to think twice before risking their health here.
