I had a great experience at The Flashback Grill and Diner in Lexington Park, MD. The food was excellent -- I ordered the cheesesteak sub, and it was really good, full of flavor and cooked just right. For dessert, I had the banana split, and it was the perfect way to top off the meal. What really stood out was the service. The owner personally came out to check on me and the other guests, making sure we were okay and asking if we needed anything. That level of hospitality made the experience even better. Overall, everything was very nice -- great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend The Flashback Grill and Diner to anyone in the area or just passing through. read more

I'm super upset! 5 stars so people can see this! I came in a few weekends ago and this server lady flirted with my man!! They ended up tg that night!! read more

Great restaurant. Excellent comfort food and breakfast. Good portions. Great service. Clean. Polite and attentive staff. Seems to be very well managed. A very chill atmosphere. Two thumbs up! read more

Got an omelette the other day, but it wasn't made like an omelette at all. They cooked the veggies separately, placed them on the plate, then cooked the eggs and just placed it on top of the veggies. That's not what an omelette is. Other than a poor food experience, Milton the waiter was very nice and tried his best to help. If not for him, they'd get one star for this. read more

This place is true to its name! Adorable diner adorned with 1950's decor! The best part is the staff attire - poodle skirts, high pony tails, saddle shoes galore! Menu is pretty small but that's not a bad thing! They master all the options! Everything is super reasonably priced. Absolutely no complaints. Would most certainly return! read more

Need a home cooked meal, than check it out. Milton and Mary will always greet you with a smile! Good chance the person at the next table is a Veteran as Dina opens not only hard doors, but her heart to support the veterans. And I know our women's veteran group appreciates her very much and all she does for our community. read more

The Flashback Grill & Diner - Eggs, sausage, biscuit. - Diners Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

I am new to the city and wanted to try some local restaurants. Decided to give this little restaurant in the cut a try. I was riding by one day and I saw the sign and decided to stop by on my lunch. It was lunchtime and it was kind of packed. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and I sat at the bar. I decided to get the cheese and bacon fries and also the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. The service was great and the food came quickly. They were busy in there so I was actually surprised when they brought the food. The fries were crispy and tasted good alone. The cheese and bacon only added more flavor to the fries. I would recommend the bacon and cheese fries to anyone. Now onto the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. I have had a lot of chicken bacon ranch sandwiches in my life from various places, but this one is easily top three. The type of chicken that they used was different than any other chicken that I had before, it tasted as if it was a rotisserie style chicken that they had chopped up to use as the meat. I could be wrong, I don't know, I just know it was amazing. I do not know if you can tell from the pictures, but that is piled high. I was not even able to close the sandwich. I had to get a fork and eat out of the middle like a salad, just to be able to eventually close the sandwich and eat it regularly. Overall, the food was great. I will definitely be eating there again in the near future. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was very diner-ish, in a good way. There was plenty of seating and space. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. read more

We were looking for a good place for breakfast and found delicious home cooked food. Good-sized portions. Great people. Good prices.

We came by for breakfast while in the area on a recommendation from a friend. It has a true dinner feel with album covers and records on the wall and the waitress wearing a poodle skirt. A bit worried when only one other table occupied when we walked in. We ordered coffee, omelet, breakfast sandwich, pancake with chocolate syrup and corn beef hash, Wild thing breakfast. The waitress was very nice and friendly. The food it true dinner food, nothing fancy just a good breakfast. It would be a good place to sit and have coffee and catch up with a friend. read more

Good hot breakfast. The service was excellent. The decor fits the flashback perfectly. Their biscuits and sausage gravy were hot and fresh and hit the spot but lacked something I couldn't put my finger on. But everything else was spot on. I plan to go back to try the lunch items.. It truly is a hidden gem. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a sit down restaurant that serves comfort food. read more

Our server was very friendly and provided us with quick service. The location was somewhat empty, so we weren't sure what to expect, but overall it was a good experience. Our food was hot and came out fairly quickly. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but it's a decent spot to grab breakfast or lunch. read more

The BLT at The Flashback is generously stuffed with fresh crunchy lettuce, ripe tomato slices and smoked bacon. Yummy! The service is always excellent! The owner or the cook has never failed to check in at the table to be sure the customer is satisfied. The 50s-60s music creates a laid back, relaxed environment. Stop by The Flashback for breakfast or lunch! read more

The Flashback Grill & Diner - Chicken Bacon Ranch Cheese Steak with Kettle Chips - Diners Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

I'm from Philly. I know cheese steaks. The Flashback's cheese steak had a soggy roll which fell apart after 2 bites. They claim the cheese was provolone but it was a tasteless conglomeration of dreck. The waitress scolded me for not being able to finish. My buddy got a club sandwich which they made out of a hoagie roll. The place does a good business with locals who of course don't know much. The jukebox was out of order. It's a hole in the wall, the old Mixing Bowl. I'll never go back. read more

Been wanting to try this place since they opened, took a chance when Linda's was closed. Shout out to our waiter, he's a nice kid. French toast was decent, eggs were bland and tasted odd. My biscuits and gravy came without biscuits, and home fries mixed in. They were kind enough to bring me biscuits, however they'd been warmed, not baked and were very soft and soggy. A customer brought in his dog which sniffed at my food while I was eating. Not sure if the staff is related, but the communication between them was uncomfortable and unprofessional; the waitress had a tone with customers and staff, the owner blamed our waiter for the biscuits, then had an attitude when I did not finish them. Will not be returning, very disappointing. read more

Overall, I was disappointed. Maybe we just came in on a bad day. Let's start with the good: I thought the grilled peanut butter and jelly was great. I thought the waitresses were working hard, but there wasn't enough of them. Everything from there was downhill. The service was slow. It took over an hour to get our food. When we got our food, it was very bland with no seasoning. The price was comparable to other restaurants with better service and food. A family even walked out because of how slow the service was. Be prepared to wait and have bland food if you decide to come here. I hope they are able to improve their food and service. read more

The service is absolutely amazing. Everyone is always nice and smiling. I found most places people must hate life; thankfully at Flashback they are happy. The old timey ambiance is great. Playing oldies music. The food is fresh and everything I have had on menu has made me want come back for more. The prices cannot be beat. Will continue to be a customer. read more

Pros, lots of seating, affordable prices, good service. Cons, the food was very underwhelming. I ordered a tuna melt and when it arrived it was just a tuna sandwich. They forgot the cheese. The sandwich was bland and had too much Mayo. The bread was very greasy. The sandwiches are advertised as coming with chips and a pickle. Neither mine or my husbands sandwich came with the pickle. When we asked, they brought us out a cup of sliced pickles? They did apologize for the mistake with my sandwich. We were seated near the jukebox and it was a little loud for me. I probably wouldn't return as I found the menu offerings a little underwhelming in general. Lots of items I could easily make myself at home. read more

I had a mixed experience at the "The Flashback" when I visited. The food was good, hot and fresh, it was definitely better than the other diner in the neighborhood. I arrived around noon; the place wasn't very busy. Let's talk about the service, I was asked to seat at the bar which I declined. Not everyone that is a party of one wants to sit at the freaking bar... I asked for a coffee and it was received promptly, my order was quickly delivered; however, the service seemed to be a bit lacking, as I wasn't offered napkins, jelly for the toast, a glass of water with the meal, or a coffee refill. These are some basic aspects of service that could be improved. The atmosphere is not too bad and the background music was at a good volume. I think I will be back, wish you had old school hash browns on the menu. read more

Someone call Guy Fieri to try Pat's Ruben. Staff is engaged and friendly. The restaurant is clean and has a nice environment. Definitely will be a regular here. read more

It's decent for the price. The sausage gravy seemed to have undercooked sausage and texture of the meat was extremely soft and cold in the middle which was very off putting. The sticky bun was delicious. Wait staff was very friendly. I've been here for lunch in the past and was pleased with quality for the price. Will be back to try different breakfast items. *Edited to add* Dropped my review down after the cook told me the sausage was cooked and she uses a blonde sausage and she can't make it like Jimmy Deans with preservatives. I don't use Jimmy Deans either but my sausage actually has texture and isn't mush and cold. Then proceeded to go talk about me with other customers while I was still in the restaurant. Extremely unprofessional. read more

The older female has a less than desirable demeanor. When something wrong is brought to her attention, it is blown off. I believe I had a run in with her at Showtime deli as well. The chili here is not good, at all. The burger is decent and the fries are too. The waiter we had was nice. But we will never be back here. It was my first and last time. read more

The Flashback Grill & Diner - Breakfast burrito. - Diners Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

I was looking for breakfast at lunchtime on a Friday and this gem was a lucky find! The experience was excellent across the board. I was greeted immediately upon arrival, taken to a booth and offered a beverage. I ordered the Wild Things Breakfast Platter. The pancakes were huge and super fluffy. My over easy eggs were cooked to perfection, which takes quite a talent! I'm not a fan of meat but was able to substitute a side of fruit. I expected it to be a small cup, but it was a sizable bowl filled with red/green grapes, strawberries, oranges, and my server offered bananas be added. All of the fruit was the perfect ripeness. Way too much food to eat in one sitting, so I have breakfast for tomorrow as well. The service was absolutely incredible. Cammie (I apologize as I'm sure I've misspelled their name) was lovely and very efficient. She was attentive, but not hovering. Additionally, what I can only assume were the front of house and back of house managers (or perhaps owners?) visited to check on my meal and experience. This doesn't happen nearly often enough, in my opinion, and I could tell it was standard practice as I saw them visit other tables throughout my meal. The decor was super cute and the restaurant was clean. Probably strange to note, but I loved the colors chosen for the decor in the women's room and have decided I need the same color tile someday. All this rambling is to say, I do not have a single negative comment or recommendation for improvement to offer and highly recommend you check it out. read more

Great little diner with cooked to order food, decorated with 50's and 60's nostalgia, and FANTASTIC STAFF that made you feel right at home!! Buffalo Chicken Philly was AMAZING!! The owner is wonderful and came out to chat with us and even grilled some peppers and onions to go on my sandwich!! Our waitress Mary was really kind and joked with my grand daughter who loved her hot dog, fries, and especially her cookies and cream milkshake! Can hardly wait to stop in for breakfast and have an omelette! read more

Great family owned and ran local business! Very friendly and really good food. Have had a few breakfast there and prices are well priced.

This place is awesome! It is truly a 50's Diner in every sense of the word....From music to poodle skirts. The staff is more friendly & helpful than you could imagine. Get the Specials!!!! They are incredible (that's why they're called that). They swap fryer grease often as the fries and onion rings are tasty and not brown. I have read some of the reviews....don't go here if you don't want that Flashback feel as the food is truly "throwback", tasty and impeccably simple.....just like the olden days, so don't go there with 21st Century expectations. Now if you like clean, friendly, tasty and 50's music....Step back in time! I cannot wait to go again! read more

We had a party of 5 today and everyone was very happy with the food and service. The food portions were very generous and the pricing is fair. We will be coming back. read more

Great food and ambiance without being overwhelming. Service at this family-run diner is attentive without hovering. Good timing and hot, fresh food at a great price. A cheeseburger is my favorite breakfast and this was a tasty breakfast indeed. There aren't any big surprises in terms of special twists, but the standards are definitely first rate. Worth the visit when you need a great, fast and hot meal near PAX. read more

Food was o.k. Service was slow.. I would try again when I have time...but don't see them making it at lunchtime with slow service.

Took my family for breakfast. Very clean restaurant, great food, & friendly staff. Great prices as well. Spoke to some of the staff, they said the owner wants to keep things affordable so families to enjoy meals out. Nice to hear & know that the owner actually cares and it isn't just about making money. We be going back and recommending to friends & family. read more

The food here is so good. I'm never disappointed when I leave and the staff is always so great.

The food here is always very very good. Typically we do breakfast but I've had their steak sub (forgot what they call it) it was loaded with flavor and meat! The people who work there are awesome!

I highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch (instead of the chains). read more
