    Over easy eggs, bacon, potatoes with onion, rye toast, chipped beef gravy, and coffee.
    Adelyn P.

    Walking through the door I have stepped back in time. An old style diner that's been around for ages. Quiet and just the right amount of AC during this heatwave. Had the breakfast special. Loved it. Cooked exactly as ordered. My server, Donna, represents the kind of server we love. Filling your coffee, which was very good, before you have to wave at her and wait for ages. Knowing to bring extra napkins at the start of the meal with being asked. Not to mention bringing enough extra napkins. It's the small things that are so important. My over easy eggs were actually over easy. Service was quick. Since I used the restroom let me report it was clean but very small. There are bars to help in using the low seat. Finally, Donna. She knows the regulars. Working the front all on her own when I was there. Both in house and take out. Excellently done. If this is your thing then come by and eat here. You will be happy.

    Micro Review: Quick stop in Laurel and stumbled on the diner. Quaint and a local spot, but breakfast was spot on. Ordered the triple play - coffee was strong and great pick me up! They take credit cards for payment. Looked like they had enough parking as well. I really liked the home fries and appreciated that the waitress asked me if I wanted them with or without onions! Most places don't give that option... cute diner if you're wanting a filling meal.

    Many years ago I was an extra in the tv show Homicide: Life on the Streets. We did a shoot once at the little motels down in this area of Laurel. The producers were going for that no-tell/hourly rate vibe. Anyway I put that out there to set the stage for your surroundings if you navigate to this spot from the more tony parts of town, or out of state. It's an area that has seen fresher paint, cleaner windows and better times. The food is regular, no frills, "home cooked". There is no stack of creme fraiche on your pancakes, or sprigs of green adorning the omelette. This morning the bacon was, as my wife described done as if put under a press and forgotten about. It was like bacon chips...quite tasty if not the texture I normally go for. The sausage patties had suffered the same fate. There were scrambled eggs (a little bland), and I had pancakes (a little grainy). I think maybe the cook had other things on his mind, or a bit hungover. I like that, I want a cook in a gritty little slightly run down place to be "complicated". No knock on Shirleys for example, (great place, can't wait to go since we are back in MD), but the country needs places like this too. If every restaurant is a spotless (and often soulless) corporate money generator, we all lose. I think you have to have some sweatpants "just okay" meals in order to appreciate those times you stood in line waiting to be seen at brunch in your Sunday best. Tastee Diner is okay, we will likely come back.

    Pancakes and eggs and liver and onions
    Deanna C.

    Hubs grew up in this area, so while reminiscing, we decided to stop at Tastee Diner. So, this place is very dated, and I'm so cool with that. It's not the cleanest place and gives me a Waffle House vibe, but our server was lovely and made the experience fun. We sat at our table and looked at our menu, which consisted of traditional diner food. I got pancakes and eggs, and hubs got liver and onions, which were really good. Make sure to stop by but leave your pretentious mindset outside. Greasy spoon expectations only!

    Western omelette

    It's a little whole in the wall diner, it does what it's supposed to do. Nothing stellar, but if you want something quick and decent to eat at a low price then this is a good spot.

    The inside before meal!

    Tastee Diner is a nice little diner I between the North and Southbound lanes of US-1 North of Laurel, MD. It has a nice atmosphere with many regular locals. I was greeted as soon as I entered,and served coffee shortly after sitting down (oh, BTW the coffee is delicious!). I tried the international omelet with fried potatoes, a short stack of pancakes (they have sugar-free syrup), iced tea, and a biscuit. The food was very good, and listening to the banter between the customers was fun. Overall a great experience, which means I will be back

    Bread pudding, I've cream and coffee... Perfect late night meal
    Kenya G.

    This was a cute little dinner we found late one night before I drove through the night. I got a coffee and a piece of bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. The waitress was nice, she was attentive and our food came out quickly. Coffee was coffee, it was satisfying, however I wish she didn't wait for me to ask for more coffee. The bread pudding was good but the ice cream was too soft. We were are to stay there and enjoy our timr, which was much appreciated. I would come back for a late night meal again.

    Grilled cheese and ham (with tomato added) for the win!
    Dianne Z.

    In March, it will be a year since we have been going to this diner. And by that I mean, practically EVERY week since then. We've tried their sandwiches, breakfast platters (the BEST) and even been there late enough to consider our meal 'dinner'. As I said in my previous review, it's nothing fancy. But it's good eats. And the kitchen has never taken more than 9 minutes to prepare our order, sometimes even less. Seriously, try the huge breakfast platter (see my pics). You can thank me later.

    Mad Cow Grill - Nice new spot in Laurel! Drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts are great! Service was great too - attentive. Cool decor and artwork!

    Went here on a Saturday night about a month ago -- place was not crowded/too busy…read more Ambiance: very bright lights and very loud music; hard to hear people talking to you at your own table. Service: waitress was kind, but service was extremely slow. 2 beers took about 15 minutes to make it to our table; I ordered a mixed drink and was given the incorrect mixed drink, which I went to the bar and traded out for a beer instead because our server didn't come back to our table to check on us for a significant length of time. We ordered several menu items they were out of and we weren't told that they were out until about an hour and a half into waiting for our food. We ended up with three side salads, 1 app, and 1 meal for a group of people. We asked our server for the check, which she failed to bring after 15 minutes. Hungry and desperate to leave, a member of our group went up to the bar, had the bar tender remove the food we were never given, and paid. Overall: Horrible experience w/ sub-par food and even worse service. Spend your money elsewhere.

    The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.
