Lost in the 50's Diner — Restaurant in Baltimore

Just don't go here. I almost exclusively leave positive reviews because I know how detrimental to business bad ones can be. My impression is that the staff at Lost in the 50's Diner could care less. No amount of kitch or mediocre diner food can make up for the air of arrogance in this greasy spoon. My partner, my child and I waited in this place for 15mins to even be greeted, it was busy so we didn't mind, and were never actually spoken to by staff. Then we grabbed a booth on our own as others had and sat for another 25 mins while everyone around us, who had been seated AFTER us were greeted and served. It was like being invisible. The servers went out of their way to ignore us while they served people they obviously already knew who came in after us. The place emptied out shortly after we sat down and still we sat like jerks for 25 minutes hoping for some sort of redemption. Nope. After a 4th party was addressed and given menus after we had sat down we decided that it wasn't worth it. I asked for the owner as we were leaving to inform him and he shrugged his shoulders saying "I dunno" and took no responsibility for his negligent staff. BOTTOM LINE DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW SOMEONE ON THE STAFF IF YOU WANT ANY SORT OF SERVICE. It would serve the public better if it was labeled as a private club, and I'm not even being dramatic. Can anyone else rationalize being in a 40 seat restaurant for 45 minutes without even being spoken to? I can't. I didn't need them to worship me as a customer but a "hello" would have...

Food : Food was the best part of this diner, which it is supposed to be. You can taste flavors in the omelet. I ordered a meat lovers omelet. It was fresh. All three different meat used in omelet were fresh. After biting, you can tell it wasn't cooked in the morning and then redone for you. It is done for you fresh. Potato fries were great too, flavorful. Coffee was fresh, too. Coffee tends to be on the stronger side if I am not wrong, is dark roast.

Service : We had a great service from beginning to end. Upon entering the diner, we were welcomed by Jennifer. While Jennifer was finding a proper spot for us. One of the employees asked us again if we were taken care of. Jennifer found us a clean spot and was mindful of what we wanted. All in all, the service was great.

Atmosphere: As the name suggests, "Lost in the 50s Diner. It takes you back in time. They play old hits in the background. Which complements the decor and place.

If you're like us who moved from New York or New Jersey and is looking for diner. This place will not disappoint you. We looked into different diners around. But the other diner doesn't know the difference between diner and fine dining. Other diners are overpriced and under deliver. While this one is light on your wallet but still gets you flavors and...

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.

There were several food options for vegetarians (omelettes, eggs with toast, home fries, grits, salads). People with Celiac disease should be wary, since the food isn’t gluten free due to the cross contamination on the grill. People with gluten intolerance however might be fine since there are dishes that don’t contain gluten (non-gluten containing or free of gluten). Worth a trip if...
