    Highly recommend Saturday Morning Cafe (Werner's Diner)! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered the Shrimp & Grits which consisted of shrimp, bacon, tomato, garlic, butter, and Old Bay, served on a skillet sizzling hot. It was absolutely delicious! Every flavor blended together perfectly, the bacon was nice and crisp, and there was a generous amount of shrimp in every bite. My husband ordered the Saturday Morning Special, which came with two eggs, crispy bacon, perfectly seasoned home fries, and French toast topped with fresh strawberries. The home fries were cooked just right--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. The French toast with fresh strawberries was the perfect finishing touch. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back whenever we visit Baltimore again!

    The customer service was soooo nice!!! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always love a good diner setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got tow orders of the Alabama loaded grits and it did not disappoint. The only thing I didn't like was the grits wasn't creamy enough. They kinda tasted if they was reheated. I would definitely get it again.

    Honey Butter Biscuits

    This spot was a great find! Casual and authentic southern breakfast flavors! We got the shrimp and grits which was delicious and arrived PIPING HOT! We also got the decadent honey butter biscuits and an egg white omlette. Everything came out quickly, was great sized portions, and was absolutely delicious! This is a definite spot to stop into for anyone visiting the area!

    If you're ever downtown and craving a good breakfast, check out Saturday Morning Café, which recently relocated to the spot where Werner's used to be. We go there often on weekends, and it never disappoints! He always orders the pancakes and swears by them--no powdered sugar, no syrup--just as they come. And he's right; I've tried them, and they're delicious. As for me, I love the Baltimore Skillet. The portions are generous, and I always end up with leftovers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is upbeat, with the smell of fresh coffee in the air and music playing in the background. You can hear people laughing and enjoying their meals, which gives the place such a friendly, welcoming energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's the kind of spot that makes you want to linger a little longer and soak it all in. The customer service is excellent--everyone checks in to make sure you have what you need and is happy to help. You might have a short wait, but that's only because the food is worth it. Definitely stop by and give them a try!

    Salmon shrimp and grits
    Jasmine J.

    Definitely worth the hype on instagram that brought me to the place. Very hospitable staff that makes you feel like you're dining with friends of the family. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The salmon shrimp and grits was sizzling and super delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a home in the wall ambiance but the cuisine is anything but.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You will not be disappointed.

    After glancing over the menu last night, we decided to give this spot a try. From the moment we walked in, the host was very welcoming--we even chatted a little college football on the way to our table. The food did not disappoint. I had the Baltimore Skillet, which was fantastic in both preparation and taste, and my boys ordered the Saturday morning special, which they really enjoyed as well. Overall, a great experience, and we'll likely be back before our time in Baltimore is up.

    Grits
    Kymbaly W.

    I ordered my meal through DoorDash and when I received it, it was fairly warm. I ordered the pancake platter with hash browns and bacon with an extra side of bacon. Honestly, I was disappointed with my meal. The hash browns had a weird aftertaste but they weren't even seasoned at all. Very bland with an oily, burnt aftertaste. The pancakes had the same burnt aftertaste. It's like they were both cooked on the same griddle using the same burnt oil. I love bacon like the next person but it was sooooo salty. And I like salty bacon but this was way too salty. When I get bacon and grits I always mix them. Which helped take away from all the salt on the bacon. The grits were surprisingly seasoned and I actually enjoyed the bacon with grits. Overall, I would not order this meal from here again. Maybe just the grits with bacon. Im definitely open to trying other things though since I heard some good things about the place.

    Really enjoyed eating here! Staff were very attentive and had great recommendations for us on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very comfortable cafe you can tell it is a great local spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only thing is for both of our dishes, our grits were cold. Food was delicious and highly recommend if you are in the area!

    Unlimited lemon drops...strawberry flavor
    Sha T.

    Who doesn't like classic diner bites and bottomless drinks? Recently stopped in to indulge in a burger and their bottomless sips offer. For 20 bucks you can choose from maitais, margaritas and lemon drops. I chose lemon drops! To my surprise you could get flavors. Of course I went with strawberry. Deliciously boozy, the bottomless drinks are available to diners who purchase for 2 hrs. Don't sleep on this thinking the drinks are watered down, they are not! While here I decided to nosh on their classic burger with cheese and bacon. The burger was perfectly cooked and juicy. Bonus on the burger, the fried onions. I thought it would come with standard fried onions but, no...the fried onions were onion ring style. Hmm. Hmm. Sorry! No pics of the burger because my stomach was more important. Lol! Definitely stopping in again! *fun fact: Werner's is a popular place for film and television. It's been on such shows as The Wire and House of Cards. SYOY!

    My husband and I decided to visit Werner's Diner and Pub, one of Baltimore's well-known spots, after seeing it on Instagram. The aesthetics definitely gave off classic diner vibes. We ordered the French toast platter with turkey bacon and home fries, crab cake egg rolls, and chicken & waffles. The French toast was top tier--the buttery brioche bread was delicious. The home fries were seasoned well too. However, the chicken & waffles were our least favorite. The chicken lacked flavor, and the waffle tasted more like dough than a true waffle. The crab cake egg rolls could have also used more seasoning. We enjoyed $5 mimosas, and if we had arrived earlier, we would've tried the unlimited lemon drops or margaritas for 2 hours. Overall, I would dine here again and explore their dinner options next time.

    The service was excellent! Our server was very kind and friendly. Other servers constantly checked on us while we waited for the rest of our party. The food was good, I just wished the crab cake came with a bit more fries.

    Smash burger w/ fries

    Werner's is a low key spot in the heart of downtown. I love how it is a true diner. The vibe is really cute and I love the all day breakfast/brunch option. We came for the happy hour but be warned that parking and traffic was a doozy. I had a smash burger and quick drink. The burger was tasty. It could have had more sauce but they gave me some on the side no problem. Overall, it was cool. I wouldn't not go back but it wasn't anything to write home about.

    Didn't give me what I ordered. Long wait time (40 minutes). Waitress was nice but focused on changing music before taking our check.

    Popular local spot with large portions of very decadent food options…read more The place is first-come-first-serve (they do not take reservations), and you have to stand outside while you wait for a table (they don't write down phone numbers and there is no seating area). This said, I came here on a Saturday morning with my fiancé and the wait was only 10-15 min (which was worth it for the food) Have a few indoor tables, a small bar-counter, and 2 outdoor tables as well. We were seated at the outdoor tables even though we didn't specify that we wanted to sit outside. We decided to take this rather than wait longer for indoor tables (which also looked somewhat cramped). The sidewalk outside is kind of tilted though, and there are a bunch of people waiting for tables outside, so it is a bit of a strange vibe. This all being said, the service was incredibly fast. Our orders were taken right away, the food came out pretty quick, and we were brought our check (which is payable via phone) as soon as we finished eating. You can tell that they run a really tight ship/well executed operation. For food, this place is known for their "Captain Crunch French Toast" and "Sweet Baby Jesus" loaded tots, which have both been featured on the Food Network 3X, but the rest of their menu is also pretty fun and creative. My fiance and I each got an iced coffee, the French toast, and breakfast tacos and we really enjoyed everything. The portions we so big that we had to take the majority of the breakfast tacos home as well.

    My friend suggested going here. When we arrived they said it was a 45 minute wait but they got us…read moreseated in about 25 minutes. They were turning tables over pretty quick. It is a very small restaurant but it works. I will be honest everything that I saw come out looked amazing. I order a chorizo with ham, pineapple, jalapeño and cheese quesadilla. Hear me out when I say it was delicious. The sweet balanced that heat. If you not a heat lover, please don't order. The hash was perfectly crispy on the outside but perfect baked potato vibe in the middle. Two snaps for that . I ordered the cinnamon crunch French toast as well and it was very good but not crispy enough for me. I like mine very crispy. It was good but would have been great cooked a little longer. (Personal preference tho). The server was very nice and made great recommendations for my friend's food. I would definitely visit here again.
