Classic Baltimore diners?

Driving to Baltimore, hoping to visit an old-fashioned diner with decent food. Any suggestions?

    Jimmy's in Fells Point for breakfast, and G&A Restaurant on Eastern Ave in Highlandtown for lunch. G&A was featured on a recent Diners, Drive-ins & Dives episode.

        Ever wonder how a diner can fix such a large menu of items at the drop of a hat? Then go to Sip n' Bite. The kitchen is right in front of you. The food is certainly decent, and you'll get a fascinating education to boot.

          The classic Bel Loc Diner on the corner of Joppa Road and Loch Raven Blvd.

            New Wyman Park Restaurant, 25th and Howard.
            Pete's Grille, 32nd and Greenmount.
            Great breakfast and lunch at both places.

              Frank's Diner is on 95 south of the beltway. They're on the sign for the exit. I've eaten there once but thought it was definitely a good diner.

                I second Frank's. I've been there a lot, and I've always been happy. It's small, and very basic with the menu items you'd expect from a simple diner. They deliver though.

                I don't really think we have any great diners....

                The only diner that I would be willing to eat at is Paper Moon. It sure isn't old-fashioned, but it does meet your requirement of having "decent food."

                You will remember the decor far longer than the food.....

                  "Decent food" is being generous. I've always walked out of there disappointed. I give them high marks on atmosphere.

                  Personally, I don't understand the allure of diners, but . . . If you are looking for the type that are in silver train cars, there are several of those around. If you are looking for an old Baltimore storefront type place that serves diner food, then I would point you to the G and A Restaurant on Eastern Avenue in Baltimore.

                  G & A Restaurant
                  3802 Eastern Ave
                  Baltimore, MD 21224

                  Don't confuse it with a similarly-named restaurant (G & M) in Linthicum known for its crabcakes, which people either love or hate.
