Willy's Kitchen

Organic comfort food served pleasantly by nice staff. I almost didn't want to write this because I wanted to keep it my little secret. But, if you're in northern Anne Arrundel county at any time, there is no way this place is a secret. Everything here is locally sourced by the owner because of his great relationships with local organic suppliers It's great to taste fresh orange juice, milk, fresh off the farm, Every entree is tasty and imaginatively prepared. His staff doesn't seem to turnover either. That says a little to me. And it's nice because I always feel like I am walking into a friends house for a meal.

My husband were out and about one morning and drove past Willy's Kitchen, so we decided to stop in. Boy, am I glad that we did. We have a great experience and cannot wait to return.The venue is really tiny, no real waiting area, so after placing our names on the waitlist we sat in our car. The restaurant was completely packed, but the service is fast and efficient, so the tables are turned around quickly. My husband and I were seated at the bar, which was kind of out of the way, it also allowed us to chat with the staff who were all friendly and personable. My husband order the The Breakfast Sampler while I had to the Farmer BLT. My husband practically devoured his food! He is a big fan of sausage gravy, but can never seem to find one that he likes. But he really enjoyed the sausage gravy at Willys! As for my meal, it was so flavorful, I didn't even add any condiments to the sandwich. It is amazing that such a simple dish could be packed with so much flavor.Best believe, Willy's Kitchen will see me and my husband again real soon!

Second visit for breakfast (last was probably over 5 years ago). Just as busy as last time! When we entered, we wrote our name and party size on the paper near the door. There are only two chairs in the waiting area and an extremely small foyer, so if your party includes guests with limited mobility, you might want to have them wait in the car until your table is ready. They have counter-seating and tables available. The dining area is small, and they work to clear tables quickly so people can be seated. When we were seated, we were offered beverages and menus quickly. The food was very good, but not hot (biscuits and gravy had to be eaten first, and it was lukewarm at best. Don't care much about pancake temperature). Refills were provided as needed. Condiments were ready to go on the table. I liked how the three front-restaurant staff worked together to keep everything running, and expressed appreciation for each other. It was also nice to see a notes/tip box that was designated for kitchen-staff only. A bit loud with happy guests, so don't come expecting to have a quiet conversation.

Willy's Kitchen is an absolute gem and a true staple of the neighborhood! I've been here a few times now, and every meal has been fantastic. Whether it's the pancakes, French toast, waffles, or the sandwiches and burgers, everything is always made to perfection. The food is delicious and the service is great with friendly & attentive waitstaff. This is a local spot that has many regulars and it's clear why. If you're looking for a place that serves amazing comfort food with great service, this restaurant is definitely the spot!

This was a lovely and cozy spot in Glen Burnie. Interior space is a little small, so you could be waiting if you come a little later. We arrived around 8am on Saturday and it was already full, but a table opened up when we got there.The menu boasts supporting local farmers. One ordered the steak and it was excellent and perfectly medium rare - which is hard for many diner-type places. We had to try the crab balls since it was a seasonal special. To me, it was ok, but apparently it's a crowd favorite. Only disappointment was the pancake - it wasn't completely mixed so some bites had an overwhelming baking soda taste.All the portions were quite large. Flavor is what you'd expect from an American Diner type restaurant. The staff was friendly and willing to help. Be ready to wait though. Everything is made to order, so the food doesn't come out right away. But you'll have to remind the servers, because we saw our plates waiting at the counter and the food had cooled down by the time it got to the table.

Leaving Baltimore and I was searching for a brunch spot. I'd never seen or heard of Willy's so I decided to give it a shot. It's a small roadside diner that has a lot in the front and rear of the building. I went and was seated at the counter. They were only serving lunch and dinner at the time. I opted for Mom's meatloaf, apple sauce, and French fries. The fries were perfect. Crunchy exterior, soft interior, seasoned well and the meatloaf gravy kicked it up a notch. The Apple sauce was chunky (which I LOVE) and not overly sweet with a touch of cinnamon added. The meatloaf was cooked properly but was kind of bland. The gravy was excellent, though, and once I added ketchup it was quickly devoured. I really like the fact that all the food is locally grown and sourced.. Customer service was pretty good, too. I'll be back because I really want to try their breakfast menu.

Amazing food and great, genuine people. A must stop when I visit Baltimore. They have fresh farm-to-table food and bottomless coffee. The delivery truck with fresh stock of ingredients arrived while I was ordering the banana nut pancakes. I wanted to order 3 entrees but settled with only 2. Side note: While I was enjoying my pancakes, an employee left to pick up a loyal customer who was having health issues. What a good person!

Are here 2 years ago! Couldn't find it until just now, as I'm leaving Baltimore! Not missing out again so remembering to review it this time. It's that good!

What a great, hidden gem! This looks like a nondescript little diner from the outside, but its so much more than that. They use locally-sourced ingredients and do some amazing scratch cooking at Willy's! The service was also super-friendly, we were treated like regulars on our first visit. We come up to Baltimore from Norfolk a few times a year for Orioles games, and stay at a nearby hotel close to the light rail to get to the Yard, and were looking for a good, local breakfast spot. We couldn't have found better. The crab cake benedict I ordered was really amazing, I can't imagine a better Baltimore breakfast item! The traditional omelets, pancakes, etc. that the kids ordered were amazing too. Willy's will be a regular stop when we come to Baltimore in the future...

I Willy Like ItWilly's Kitchen has been bringing housemade, locally-sourced/produced ingredients and goods to this little suburb of Baltimore for over twenty years now. We were only in the Baltimore area for a short while and knew that we couldn't pass up getting some fresh Chesapeake Bay Crab--even if it was for breakfast!The Good:*Fairly large menu with a nice variety for anyone and everyone. *Supporting your local area when dining here as most of the main ingredients are sourced locally--even the bison!*We both enjoyed our crabby breakfasts: the Crab Explosion Omelet and Chesapeake Crab Cake Benedict. They were both full of crab with perfectly cooked eggs. *Great prices as Crab-filled dishes like this would fetch twice the price back home in The Bay. *Cozy location with pleasant and understated décor. The Meh:*Coffee was decent. Nothing spectacular but your run-of-the-mill diner cup o' Joe.The Ugly:*Service was a little gruff, but that's almost to be expected in this part of the country, as "Charm City" isn't exactly a fitting moniker. TLDR: Tasty home-cooked grub with a side of sass.
