    Coffee and sign
    Keith F.

    They are doing a lot of things right here. The service was welcoming friendly enough when we came through the door. We sat at the bar. We ordered our food and they kept the house coffee coming which was pretty good while we waited. Our food was ready quickly. The portion sizes here are great for the price! My omelette was packed with toppings and cooked the way I like it. The potatoes here are amazing! Nice and filling with a perfect texture. The only negative strike was that my toast was cold. I would certainly recommend this location and come back.

    This restaurant was a bit difficult to find, none the less we finally found it in the plaza. A landmark store is 5 Below. I hope that helps. We entered and were told to sit anywhere. Very soon after, the server got our drinks. The menu is nice and large with plenty of good, basic dishes. Breakfast all day. There are not a lot of frills. 4 tv's on the walls, all muted. Seating is basic but good enough to accommodate. We ordered a corn beef sub with Swiss ($0.95 upcharge). It was stuffed with plenty of meat. Also, a chicken parmesan sub. Both of these came with chips. You have the option to change from chips to French fries or onion rings, you guessed it, for an upcharge. Have to give credit where credit is due. The c/b sub had good quality meat, and for both subs, the bread part was very fresh. The chicken was very good as well, not your typical freezer meat. It had decent sized strips of chicken under the breading. The tomato sauce was just right. I asked for hot pepper flakes ( I like a little heat), and the server had no idea what I was asking for. She did accommodate by bringing over a small dish of hot pepper relish. I tried it, and it really gave the sub a boost. The chips were a bit of a letdown, a bag of UTZ chips. Oh no! That was not what I was expecting. We might be back if in the area. The service was right on top of things, very pleasant staff. There is plenty of free parking.

    No complaints at all. The inside was smalls but the service was quick and efficient The food was amazing , the service was beyond great , and the overall wait time sit and eat was little to none. I definitely would come back for the south side breakfast sampler ... it was delicious !!!

    This restaurant is in a shared plaza shopping center. There is plenty of free parking. We went early in the morning so getting a table was no wait and service was quick and efficient. The food is decent a bit greasy but not more than you would expect at a diner. The bacon was thick which I like. The potatoes could have had a little more crunch but overall the food is good. There were clearly lots of regulars based on the interactions I saw.

    I had a really good time at Southside Diner this morning. In Baltimore for an appointment, the Wife & I were in the mood for breakfast, and Southside was one of the diners in the area. It's Yelp rating & reviews made me eager to see if it was all hype, and I'm glad to see that it wasn't. This is a no frills diner that has no shortage of patrons, from the locals to about 10 police officers who were there enjoying their breakfast when I arrived. The coolest part is our food came extremely fast. My Wife loved her Veggie omelette and I was equally as thrilled with my Scrapple egg & cheese, grits and home fries. I'm never on this side much, but whenever I am, I've added Southside diner to my list of places I need to return.

    Food: I ordered the after workout breakfast, and 5 hours later I am still satisfied with my meal. It comes with six scrambled egg whites, your choice of meat, hash browns, and toast. After a barre class and this was exactly what I needed to recover from the workout. Service: Fast, friendly service. You can substitute sides for another option! Always a plus! Ambiance: The vibe is a traditional American diner. You can sit at the counter, booth or a four top. It's very busy on a Saturday morning and it can get a bit loud, but it is worth the wait.

    The complete staff over at Southside diner made my dining experience amazingly enjoyable on my birthday 2/27. This was my first time visiting this establishment. The online reviews were an amazing 4.7 stars out of five and I had to go and find out why. As soon as I entered the building I was greeted with a huge smile and a proper greeting. Hospitality is so lost in today's world. That really put me at ease. And even though it was raining outside, there was plenty of sunshine inside from the staff that made my morning drive there a huge success. My entire breakfast was delicious and even my to go wrap to take home for later. The atmosphere and ambiance was amazing also and exactly like a traditional diner should look and sound like Great job all. I'll definitely be back ASAP!

    Old school diner where the owner knew most of the customers. In fact, he was wandering around the dining room chatting with just about everyone. Our party of three ordered a Reuben sandwich, French dip sandwich, and a contraption known as the Tillman Tower. The Reuben was good, not the best I ever had. But I liked the reasonable corned beef to bread ratio. I hated a Reuben with insane amount of corned beef. The beef of the French dip was not as tender as my wife would like. But the beef jus was full of flavor. The Tillman Tower consisted of creamed chipped beef over bread and topped with two over easy eggs. My oldest daughter loved the dish. She said it was very similar to sausage gravy over biscuits and eggs. Prices were inexpensive considering the quality of the food. Table service was friendly and quick. Mrs and I will definitely return to try breakfast.

    B.L.T. Absolutely delicious

    There are alllllllllllllllllllways people heading into this place. I'm talking people just materialising from every direction, coming way from across the parking lot...and you never see them come out until they've eaten or gotten their food even if it's packed! The one time O went in I was blown away by the amount of people this place fits, the absolute blast of high energy early in the morning (absolutely refreshing) and the wonderful interaction with the woman who takes orders at the front. I've only had the BLT (twice) mostly because each time my husband has taken me I figured something quick would be best to order AND LET ME TELL YOU (please refer to attached picture) for just a BLT I'm still blown away. Nice thick bacon, they don't skimp on the amount either--none of that two pieces folded in half. Two perfectly sized tomatoes and the perfect amount of Romaine lettuce (sorry iceberg lovers) on perfectly and I mean perfectly toasted (rye) bread. 10/10 will definitely come back for more than a sandwich next time.

    Broadway Diner - Potato-Crusted Salmon (as seen on The Food Network)

    This place was a one-and-done experience for us. Never again!!…read more My husband and I ended up here after the Dave Chappelle show because our original dinner plans fell through when the restaurant was fully booked. We should have made reservations, but at that point, all we wanted was a decent meal (nothing fancy) after a long workweek and then to head home. Unfortunately, a decent meal didn't happen. The food was some of the worst we've had in a long time. My husband actually spit food into his napkin, shook his head, and said, "I'm done." I've never seen him do that before. Several dishes were simply inedible. The mashed potatoes were bland and flavorless--how do you mess up mashed potatoes? The potato salad was equally bland and disappointing. The French onion soup had very little broth and was overloaded with a thick layer of hardened cheese. Overall, the food tasted cheap and poorly prepared, yet the prices suggested otherwise. It felt like diner-quality food being sold at premium prices. What made the experience even more frustrating was the manager's response. He came to our table after hearing about our concerns, but instead of focusing on the quality issues we raised, he seemed more concerned that my husband refused to order a replacement meal. That spoke volumes about where the priorities were. The one bright spot was our server, who was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. No complaints regarding the server as he was extremely apologetic with our experience. To our surprise, the restaurant also added an automatic gratuity to our bill. Ironically, had that not been done, we likely would have tipped our server more because he was not the problem. The kitchen and management were. No, I didn't complain about the tip after I noticed it on our bill. We were over the experience and just wanted to pay and get the hell out of there. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. We certainly wish we had. Gordon Ramsay, if you're looking for a future Kitchen Nightmares episode, this place could desperately use the help. P.S. A business name change is not going to help with the quality of the food. Do better and prove that you actually care about your customers, not just the $$.

    Amazing Diner!!!…read more Mad flavor! Great prices! Good service! Nice quantities! Amazing homemade desserts! A must try if you are ever in the area. Also I think they have a name change (Red Cup Diner).
