    It doesn't get more Diner than this! From the walkway to the train car like entrance to the servers and surroundings. Orioles and Ravens themed kids clothes. Service with a bit of overworked and cynical. I did love the sausage and gravy with hash browns. Stayed away from the yellow grits (buttered I'm told). Coffee refilled as dreams seem to die. Still, will come back when in the neighborhood. Breakfast all day.

    Ultimate Club Sandwich with onion rings.

    Fast lunch on a Sunday at 1. No wait for a seat. Beautiful cook and plenty of workers in this retro restaurant. The Ultimate club sandwich was great and was too big to eat in one sitting. The onion rings came out very hot, had to eat them after the half a sandwich. The spaghetti and meatballs had plenty of meatballs that were gently seasoned and a mild red sauce. Come in for a quick traditional diner meal. We should come back for breakfast because the Greek omelette looks good.

    Menu dirty asf ugh

    Don't let the look fool you! This quaint little diner has great food and excellent service ! The server we had was prompt and very friendly ! We ordered chipped beef, Belgian waffle and a club sandwich. The club sandwich was the best I've ever had at a diner. Very thick cuts of turkey and clean layers of bacon and lettuce and the bread was nicely toasted! The waffle was light and fluffy! Chipped beef at diner is always good so nothing more to say about there. Check this place out!!

    Blueberry pancakes, eggs, scrapple, Belgian waffle.

    Think old school diner. Came here for breakfast, service was attentive, non intrusive, food was fast and yummy! If you are in the area and want an old school diner vibe, definitely check this place out!

    Nice little hole in the wall place. We went for breakfast my husband and I. It was really nice and intimate. If you looking for some good food go here it's really worth it. Nice environment and super nice people waitress was awesome

    I first ate at this place as a kid -- when I went to the Paramount Theater next door for a "science-fiction, double-feature picture-show, in the back row." Admision was about 35 cent, as I recall. Anyway, The OD hardly seemed unique to me at the time.....It was just another pseudo railroad car sheathed in chrome. Well, coming back to it now, after all those ago, it seemed like a new world....a new old world...an old world new again...something like that. I love a good omelette. Guess what! There's were great! I got one with feta and a side of scrapple....yes, folks, scrapple! For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, well, I won't tell you here. Plus you don't want to know what's in it -- trust me. I ordered whole wheat toast, and guess what! It was really genuinely whole wheat. And the home fries...guess what! Cooked just right with a little extra seasoning -- I'm guessing Old Bay! On their menu: French Fries w/gravy [a Baltimore thing], crab cakes, oysters, meat loaf, liver and onions, and so on. Maybe next time. Service was very good, indeed. BUT.....coffee not so "hot".... The big plus: All those nasaly, "a"-flattened, Baltimore twangs being tossed back and forth from customer to waitress to customer again. Amazingly, I could still understand it. Had I spoken up, I'm sure I would have "passed." Oh, the old Paramount Theater? It's now owned by and connected to the diner - for big functions or overflows, I guess.

    I truly do enjoy going here to dine. I have been going for several years. I have never been disappointed. The staff are polite. My favorite is waffles and vanilla ice cream. Oh yes.

    Western Omelette. Added cheese. Yumm.

    We went for breakfast while we in town for the 4th of July. Not very busy the morning after a holiday. The coffee was delicious. I had the western omelette. My husband had the egg platter and added bacon. It was delicious. And came out so fast. The server was extremely friendly. What a gem. We will be back next time we are in town.

    I'm not sure I even know where to start. Me and my best friend rolled up (without reservations -…read moreoops) but were greeted and seated almost immediately. The area near the front window almost feels like a private table. It was definitely giving a great vibe. We checked the menu prior to picking this place and they had EXACTLY what I wanted. I had a big ole brunch of their Grand Marnier Strawberry French Toast which was a three stack of THICCCCC cut Texas bread. It was better than I hoped for! And I brought at least half of it home, because ole greedy butt over here also got the platter with the home fries (I asked for onions and got this caramelized onion topping that was almost a jam. Yummm), the bacon and the eggs your way (scrambled with cheese). My companion had this big ole omelette with a lot of veggies and shared my french toast. The sauce they served with the home fries was sooooo good - it was almost like Heinz 57 sauce but with less of a vinegary bite. The jam that came for my English Muffin was delicious and praise GOD they served butter that wasn't ice cold and unspreadable so yeah hella points for that. For the mimosas, we did the "buy the carafe and the bottle", with a carafe of cranberry juice and a bottle of Cava Prosecco. I loved that we were able to select WHICH bubbles we wanted and for two people it worked out very well price wise. The host (tall guy with a mohawk) and our server (Robyn) were absolutely fantastic. Personable and friendly and very attentive, very much able to answer any questions we had (THANK YOU ROBYN!!!). In short - this place is a gem and yall should go! Be mindful of the parking in the area, but dont let that stop you from a delicious meal in a lovely setting!!

This is easily one of my top breakfast spots--the pancakes and the blueberry French toast are insane. Like, OMG I want to go get some now! Lol. If you're looking for a fun brunch with 70's music, good vibes, and good people, this is the place. Just a heads up: the space is small and the bar isn't always open, so I highly recommend making reservations. Great food, great energy, great brunch experience.

The drinks were strong and the service was good, especially considering how busy it was. I got a buffalo chicken wrap and my date got a cheesesteak. The fries were sooooo good. Like boardwalk fries.

Overall a nice time and I'd definitely go back.

We sat at the end of the bar and had to wait a few minutes to order. They don't have a beer menu, so you will have to eyeball the drafts as you come into the bar. The music was loud old-skool hip hop, which I love. There was also some great R&B. They have two pool tables constantly occupied by players who had brought their own queues. It was fun to watch. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, the husband ordered wings and french fries. The chicken quesadilla was delicious, served with salsa and sour cream. The wings were a little dry but the fries were great. I was going to give Freddie's 4 stars until I woke up the next morning and saw the 18% gratuity charged to my bill. I had not seen it and had tipped 20% so my server got a large unintended tip. I will not be coming back to Freddie's but at least now I know how they roll.

A few people were sitting at the bar. My aunt doesn't like sitting on bar stools so we sat at the regular tables. We were the only ones in the actually dining area. Our waitress was very polite. She made us aware of the specials. We both ordered a long island iced tea. I chose the shrimp salad wrap which came with a chip and pickles and I asked for hots on the side. My aunt ordered the cheese steak with chips and a pickle. Im not sure what those restaurant is like at night but, arriving a little after noon was great. I would say the food was a great price and the food was average. This is a good place if your on a budget.
