Tastee Diner

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.

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.

The food was very yummy. I think we would return.This is an OLD diner. Everything about it is old and dark. Doesn't look like it's ever been updated. Because of that, it can have an appearance of being unkept and unclean. I didn't really feel that to be the case, though. Tables and booths were clean but just very, very wornBoth food and service are good.

Is it a good breakfast, well... umm, sometimes it's good and other times, a miss - just like the store Tuesday Morning. Some days you'll find that you want to buy everything in the store and other times, you're just browsing, leaving empty handed.On this particular visit, a requested onions with my hashbrowns, were missing and instead of receiving scrambled eggs, they were over medium, fried country ham was chewy, cream chipped beef and toast was forgotten, but then when reminded to our waitress, arrived shortly after. Cream chipped beef tasted like canned cream of something Campbell's soup. Also it was uncomfortably warm in there, even with the floor fans on full blast.

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!

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.

I love a good greasy spoon! The eggs were done perfectly (over medium), bacon was crispy, and maybe the best biscuits I've had. My hubs got the corned beef hash- also done crispy on the griddle. We got a short stack of blueberry pancakes that had fresh blueberries and were light and delicious. We truly enjoyed our meal. And our server was on top of everything, but gave us our space- the perfect amount of service.I took off one star because it could use a good cleaning and the open doors allowed flies inside.

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.

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
