Awesome awesome food! A hidden Baltimore GEM. 1st time here and impressed by the presentation, service and FOOD! Greek omelet with bacon added and a crispy waffle & hot tea. FIRST TIME I ever finished my plate! Always packed leftovers. I’m happily stuffed.I’ll be back. Improvement: more seating needed for the large crowds

Lost in the 50s is quickly becoming my favorite neighborhood restaurant. I’ve had their biscuits & gravy as well as their chipped beef and both are incredible. I always get a side of scrapple. The chicken & waffles is also bonkers delicious and i’d absolutely recommend their burgers.

Planned this visit for two months and was not disappointed!! Diner food and service were superb and fitting. Easily got there from route 95 and filled gas tank along the way. I will return for more goodness. Thank you!

The brunch place to go this side of town — coffee was piping hot, the eggs runny, toast buttered, grits yummy, sausage spiced, and — the best part — the home fries. What customers should know is the service is what makes this themed diner the place to go: the server is joyful and anticipated our needs (with refills, asking if the milkshake was for here or to go, asking about condiments for the grits and the home fries). I watched the chef as she prepared easily five orders at once, hardly making anyone wait at all. A tight crew made our brunch quite enjoyable.

The food here is always good. The cook makes pancakes that are better than IHOP’s. She’s got skills. I usually don’t eat pancakes a lot. But, these are just right! The waitresses are friendly, and the atmosphere is laid back. Prices are reasonable. I’ve been back several times.

The food was delicious. Despite how busy it was during the time that my fiance and I came to eat in, our server was still extremely attentive, even though it was obvious she has a hundred other tasks.

The food was good, the atmosphere was very welcoming and nostalgic and the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. My ONLY problem was that the juke box on the table was out of order and took our money. Staff should put clear tape over the coin slots so customers don’t lose money while still protecting the “look”‘ of nostalgia.

Friendly, great service! Breakfast served all day. I had the Bopper Burger; it was hand pattied, the bun toasted and it was delicious!! My children had pancakes with chocolate chips, and cleaned their plates.
