Unique dining experience with a fun vibe. Lots of photos on the walls of famous people who had eat here. I got the milkshake and they gave me a cup to take home ❤️. The crab cake was also very yummy

My husband and I were living on a sailboat and passed through Annapolis back in 2010, and we had dinner here and one of their milkshakes. Let me tell you, to this day, 12 January 2026, we STILL talk about that milkshake as being the best one we've EVER had in our lives. I mean, how good does something have to be that 16 years later, we still reminisce about it and talk about it with such great affection. BEST MILKSHAKE WE'VE EVER HAD

We came here for breakfast after a late party night and it was perfect. We found a table right away, the service was great, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. We got the crab cake Benedict and chicken & waffles. Both came with a side of potatoes. We asked for the gravy on the side for the chicken & waffle and it was like a bowl of gravy... you will not run out. A very appreciated detail was that the syrup was warm and came in a non drippy container. We heard the milkshakes are also really good, but did not have room for all that. The only complaint was that the table was wobbly.

Super cute spot. Melanie one of the staff was my absolute favorite - she totally made my visit here memorable. Recommend for a cute American diner experience if you’re in town!

This is the go to breakfast spot in Annapolis with friendly staff, good service, large portions, and most importantly lump crab meat that you can get in an omelette, as a crab cake sandwich, or my favorite - crab balls (see pic). In fact, if you don’t like MD blue crab meat you’re missing the real point of eating here. Great place!

BLATANTLY Prejudice. Do you know how DISGUSTING you are for a group of 10 year olds to pick up on that?

This is a nice mom and pop type restaurant. the staff is friendly but not in a fake way, they seem really relate-able. one of the servers was allowed to have her child in the restaurant while serving which i HIGHLY respect. you can tell the managers care for the employees. great place to support.

the rueben was delicious!

This is about as close to a truly authentic diner as you can hope to find in the US. Fitting many tables into a very narrow building, the portions are generous, the staff are friendly and there is a constant feeling of hubub with people whirling back and forth.
My favourite is the lump crab cakes on eggs Benedict (with delly potatoes on the side) but there's a vast menu and a wall covered in the preferred choices of various local politicians or celebrities.
Stop by for brunch and there will be a queue, but it's well worth the wait!
