Have only been for breakfast... have only gone on a Sunday morning which can get very crowded but it is well worth the wait. Highly recommend the French Benedict. read more

This is a perfectly fine breakfast spot close to our apartment. We've been for breakfast/brunch a few times, and we've always had impeccable service. The employees are friendly and courteous, coffee is kept refilled, and service is prompt. It's 5 stars for service. The food isn't great, but it's solidly okay. I think I like Orchard Cafe more for weekend hangover brunch, because then the food tastes like a gift from the gods. We went for breakfast yesterday and it was kind of a letdown. I'm sure it was exactly the same as before, but it had lost that magical quality that I remembered from previous visits. I had a spinach, mushroom, and cheddar omelette with rye toast, home fries, and a side of bacon. The omelette was a little too greasy for my liking, and the home fries seemed more like smashed up hash brown. My husband got the hashbrown with his breakfast and it looked exactly the same as the ones they serve at McDonalds. Overall, service is amazing. Hands down some of the friendliest service I've received anywhere. The food is perfect for hangover breakfast, but maybe try somewhere else if you're just looking for a nice breakfast without the extra grease. read more

This is a really great little place for breakfast. It's super family friendly and all of the food has been delicious every time we've gone. We had crab cakes eggs Benedict, eggs Benedict, and pancakes and omelets. We'll definitely be back for the crab cakes eggs Benedict. It was delicious, but I needed a nap afterwards. read more

Visiting a friend and we needed a quick, hearty breakfast. Did not disappoint! Simple, filling breakfast options with very reasonable prices. Coffee was fresh and hot, and refills came often. Service was excellent! Friendly and quick, but unobtrusive. It's clear they know their regulars and are happy to see them. Decor is simple with a neighborhood feel. The dining room is very small, with seat-yourself service. Had a great breakfast with no fuss and not painful for the wallet. Can't complain about that! read more

I had lunch here with friends a few days ago. Look, I get this place is well known for its breakfasts. But none of us was in the mood for breakfast or brunch food. We all had different sandwiches or in one case a wrap. I had the Patty Melt. I ordered onion rings with it. In a word...ghastly. I got all of six small onion rings. They were okay at best. I have no idea what meat they were using for beef but it tasted like something I used to get at the school cafeteria for a hamburger. It might not have been beef but whatever it was, it was totally gross. There was almost zero fried onions and the cheese was American processed cheese. The bread was soggy. One of my friends had the Turkey club. The bacon was overcooked and the toast was bordering on burnt. My friend with the chicken wrap said it was bland and the veggies were soggy. Her fries tasted like cardboard. Again, maybe ordering lunch from a breakfast place just is a bad idea but if they are going to put it on the menu it should be at least decent. Table service was slow and they weren't that busy. It was a bit on the noisy side and the overall place has zero ambiance. It was cheap, one plus I guess but considering how my stomach felt after eating my food I wished I'd never eaten there. I won't be going back. read more

Back for the second time! Excellent service and the food is as good as it was the first time. The omelette was fluffy and the rib eye platter was delicious! Fantastic place! Excellent iced coffee and the food is really delicious. Yea, we're coming back! read more

Delicious! I had the French toast with strawberries and it was everything!! The place was packed for a Saturday morning but everyone had mask on. Highly recommend them for breakfast. I will be back to try their lunch and dinner options! read more

I really wanted to like this place more, honestly I did :-(. I just moved to the area, and am in search of a great inexpensive place to get breakfast when I wake up on Sunday and don't feel like cooking. I searched yelp and came across this cafe. It's a cute restaurant next to a Food Lion. I arrived at about 7:30am Sunday morning, so there were only a few other customers. You seat yourself. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped me right away. I ordered the Greek veggie omelet with a side of home fries and wheat toast. I was asked if I wanted onions with my home fries...which maybe should have clued me in, because in my opinion they aren't home fries if they aren't cooked with onions! Coffee was okay, but nothing to write home about. And I really hate paying $2.10 for coffee when I only drink one or maybe one and a half cups, and I know it cost them less than a quarter to make it LOL. Meal itself was just under $8.00 so not too bad for what I got. Food came quickly. I was disappointed to see that the home fries weren't very crispy, and the onions were sauteed thinly sliced rings in a little pile on top of the potatoes. So no onion flavor cooked into the home fries. No seasoning either, so a pretty big disappointment. The omelet was a good size, and had a lot of fillings (although if it had feta it was too small of an amount for me to taste). It was super hot, like burn your tongue hot, which I found kind of strange. The wheat toast was 2 slices of thick bread, and was actually pretty good. I was asked if I wanted refills on my coffee several times, and my bill came promptly. While I was there, they brought out a cake and sang happy birthday to another customer, which was sweet. Bottom line, the restaurant is cute and clean and the staff was great, but I'm all about the potatoes when it comes to breakfast, and those disappointed. It looked like they also had hash browns as an option on the menu, so I might go back again if I can't find somewhere else I like better, and see if they are crispy :-). read more

This was such a nice little restaurant! It gave me diner vibes but it's really small. I liked how the cooks rings the bell when a dish is ready to be taken to a table. It reminded me of how diners used to be back in the day. The staff was super friendly and nice! I am happy they provided crayons and a sheet of activities to do while we wait. I wasn't expecting that because most small places don't provide that. I witnessed a very old couple (bless their hearts) that could barely walk come inside of the restaurant and one of the servers quickly greeted them at the door, grabbed their hands and assisted them to the table. How sweet!! You can tell this a place that is frequented often by the community and this will be a place that will be frequented by my daughter and I now. The prices are just right for the amount of food you get. I was quite surprised at how hearty the meals were, even the kids meals. I had the Cajun tilapia meal and it was great but needed a little more flavor. My daughter had pancakes, eggs and turkey bacon. Delish!!!! I will be ordering that next time! They have THE best turkey bacon here!!! It was nice a crispy with great flavor!! If you want quality food and service on a day you don't feel like cooking but don't want to give your kids trash (lol) please visit this place!! read more

Wow! How is this a 4 star? For a diner/cafe, Orchard Cafe takes the cake on all fronts and definitely beats out a Denny's or Waffle House!!! Came here after reading a previous review and was NOT disappointed!!!! IF you are looking to support mom n pop type establishment, eat a great hardy breakfast and not break the bank this is the place for you. Snuggled right next to Food Lion in the Piney orchard shopping complex The Orchard Cafe is the perfect little breakfast secret in Odenton. I waited until two visits to write a review but wish I had gotten to ya'll sooner. Both times I ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict which comes with home fries a classic Benedict egg sitting on a perfectly fresh crab cake and a toasted English Muffin with a smooth hollandaise sauce drizzled over the top. I also got a side of crisp bacon. I payed 15 or 20 bucks right? Nope I got everything mentioned above for right around $10.00. They aim to please with service as well. You will most likely never see the bottom of your coffee cup. And the food comes out in about 10 minutes even if they are busy. And if you come here long enough you may even get you picture on the wall. ;). You'll understand what I mean when you check this place out. read more

Decent place. Service was good and quick. Menu isn't huge but has some good dishes as for a cafe it's perfect. We had a pleasant breakfast. Toasts, pancakes,ham sandwich everything taste good. This place was around for a long time, pretty busy place, but seems like they are keeping their high level of service and quality. We liked this little joint. read more

Another delicious trip to Orchard Cafe. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant, and my lovely wife had a club sandwich with fries. My sammich was delicious, and the half of hers that I ate was pretty awesome too. Service was quick and once again attentive. We were in and out, and I ate enough delicious food and potatoes to make me feel better about my questionable life choices. Pro tip: avoid the crowds, but enjoy the food. This is a local gem that happens to be reasonably priced. I approve. read more

Waited 50 mins for order after being told 20 mins. Sausage tasted like it was microwaved, tasted like the brand that's in the yellow box. The sausage and gravy was a watery mess. Missing items that came with our breakfast platter. The only good thing about our food were the eggs. I know restaurants have bad days. I highly doubt we would give this place another try. read more

Orchard Cafe is such a wonderful restaurant! I was visiting in the area and decided to stop since I was so close. Around 1:30 it wasn't too busy, Jorge took care of us in a timely manner & was very polite. The restaurant is decorated nicely with several photos and pops of yellow. I ordered the French Toast with Strawberries & Whipped Cream, eggs & bacon. It was absolutely delicious and my experience was excellent! read more

Stopped by this place based on a good review by a close friend. Went with my son - and we left after 10 minutes. We walked in to a very small crowded establishment. The staff was polite but very busy and rushed. My som and I stood near the door for nearly 10 minutes before an elderly couple arriving told us that it was self seating. The staff walked past often and never mentioned that small fact. Upon finding an empty table we sat another 5 mi utes looking the previous occupants trash. We were hungry so we just got up and headed to the Nautilus Diner down the road. Im being generous with three stars because I hear the food is good read more

Tried this cute little neighborhood spot this morning and had a great first experience. The sweet, friendly employees are wonderful and it made the experience here stick out from others in the area. You were treated like part of the family. The food was very good, reasonably priced and was quick to come. Service was great as well. We will be adding this onto our list of breakfast spots! read more

I have lived here all my life and never thought of this small, cute restaurant. I was introduced years ago now and it is my favorite local spot. The owners are amazing! They get to know you and make you feel like family. They're nice, attentive, and very friendly. The menu is a small diner feel, with a great breakfast menu, and the simple sandwiches, soups, salads, and dinners. Sometimes, it can get a little busy on the weekends, but they hustle! Forever my favorite local spot, with a whole lot of comfort!! read more

We stop here every once in awhile usually for lunch. It always has a good crowd. The food is great. The service is super friendly. George is the best! The menu is loaded with options.

Busier on weekends, but they will remember you. Friendly hometown cafe. Give it a try. Help support our local community.

We went in for brunch on a Friday morning. The sign up front said to wait to be seated, so we waited for someone to come greet us. We waited for a full 30 minutes with no one coming to check in on us or tell us when we can expect to be seated. At least three tables were available for us to be seated at, but no one came to seat us or even address us. As we were waiting, we could see other tables orders coming in at different times with multiple customers waiting on service or trying to get the attention of the servers. When we finally stopped a server to ask when we could be seated (30 minutes after entering and no communication from anyone), she rudely informed us that the kitchen was backed up and "you'll just have to sit at the table waiting for your food, so we'll just seat you when we can give you food" and walked away. We obviously didn't stay and hope they can improve their customer service! read more

Food was great. Order was quick. Super friendly and personable; inviting. First cup of coffee not so great, but refill was fine. Definitely the place to go for good fast breakfast with order just right. If you choose go to IHOP or waffle house, you might age a few years before you get your greasy scrambled eggs and hash browns. Not here! read more

This place is amazing!!!!! The service is great and the food is plentiful and well priced. The French toast with strawberries and whipped cream is like crack and they have hash brown patties which are the real OG hash browns. It's seat yourself so sometimes you might have to wait because it's a small space and it can also get kinda hot too but the food is worth it! read more

Forgot to check in while i was there but anywho... Asked my friend girl out for breakfast and she suggested this spot. Seems To be family owned and operated with a diversified staff. Small restaurant info a strip mall that if you don't luck up or you are told about it you could miss it. It is self seating diner style which is cool. So if it is a lot of folks in your group you need to get there early as seats fill up quickly. Staff was pretty friendly and efficient for whatever you ask for. Food was quick and tasty as diner food should be. They have a few outside tables. Cute spot. I shall return. read more

Amazing food, great waiting staff and the food is outstanding!! I'm from the south and the fact that they have actual sweet tea and I didn't have to add any sugar to it is great and their grits were also top notch and I didn't have to add anything to them as well! Overall just an amazing place to get breakfast from!! read more

LOVE this place and George makes it even better! My bkfst favs are the pork chop platter and the Greek omelette. For lunch, I love the turkey Ruben sandwich with fries. This spot is a hidden gem. I lived in Piney Orchard for 10 years before trying it after a friend recommended. I've been hooked ever since! Great food. Nice portions. Low prices. Go now! LOL read more

First time visit... poor service... waited 50 minutes for two plates of food... Three other groups of customers entered after we placed an order, but their food came out before ours... one of those groups (party of three and two kids) was ready to pay before we got our plates... seems like the waitress forgot... No apologies or credit towards our bill... Food was good, so we may give them one more chance in the future, therefore one star for now... read more

Came in for breakfast today. Food, service and coffee were all delicious! Cozy cute little spot - wonderful little place. Definitely coming back read more

Carry Out review only! Ordered two sandwiches and it took us a little longer than expected to pickup but the sandwiches were still hot and had a great serving of egg and sausage. Croissant tastes fresh only issue I had was the cheese on one of the sandwiches that I did not order. I'd come back for a quick breakfast. read more

I have been going to this place for about 3 or 4 years and a little before the pandemic, it started going downhill. I'm not sure what happened but it has been a slow steady decline. We continued to eat here on multiple occasions in hopes that each experience was just a "bad day." Today, was our last time eating here. The service was subpar (no asking if we need anything and we did), the restaurant isn't as clean as it used to be, the food is good but no longer great. The final straw though was finding three strands of hair in my daughter's french fries. I did not get a picture of the first french fry that had a white/gray hair standing up from it but I did get a picture of the other two fries. It completely spoiled my appetite. Unfortunately, my daughter had already eaten some fries so who knows how many hairs she actually consumed. Now, I'm not so naïve to think that food in a restaurant doesn't have hair in it. I know that it does, but, I don't want to see it. I can and have coped with one hair but three is over the top and too much. I won't be coming back. read more

First of all, I just want to be clear that this review is not on the food. I really wanted to give it a try but this is focused more on the service. This was our first time here and we went on a Saturday morning. We pulled up to this place and we noticed that the place was pretty packed. There were a couple tables that seated about 8 people that were occupied by a couple people. So we waited by the door to be told/asked "how many people in our party and to get our name." We just sat and waited and kind of observed the waiters. There were more people coming in now and waiting. I would say that our total wait time was about 15-20mins before deciding to leave. During that time the staff never spoke to us. We overheard that they were short on staff which explains the slower service. We also heard from the other people in line that you seat yourself. This would have been nice to know since this was our first time. We looked at the other tables to see if people were finishing up and there were some that looked like they've been done for a while and I initially thought that they were just taking their time and hanging out but a person from the table said that they asked for the check about 15 mins ago and still waiting. At that point I didn't want to wait any longer. We were getting a little impatient and hungry. If a member of the staff would've just asked us if we've been here before and told us it was seat yourself and that it may take some time.... I would've waited. It was just uncomfortable for me. A couple things that I saw also was that a small table got their food and then they had to ask for silverware and one of the waiters was probably a little overwhelmed by the amount of people and lack of staff that he was just aimlessly walking around refilling coffee. I understand that the combination of having a lot of customers, being short on staff, dealing with people's orders, preparing food and clearing tables can be a little difficult to manage but I would have just liked to see a little bit better customer service. They say first impressions are everything and ours wasn't the best. It may take some time before we decide to come back and give this place a chance again. read more
