Werner's Diner — Restaurant in Baltimore

Dropped by Werner’s on Monday AM to order & pick up:

1. an egg & cheese breakfast sandwich $3.85,
2. home fries $2.35 (red grilled potatoes and onions), and 3) The Tasty $9.99 (lunch sub)

Russi (who’s always pleasant and efficient) rang up my $17ish total.

1. No qualms with the breakfast sandwich.
2. Chunks of red potatoes were lightly seasoned and tasted as they should, BUT for the record, there was an odd - almost an ammonia smell (which I ignored and still lived to write this as a precautionary measure.)
3. The turkey on “The Tasty” was definitely fresh and sliced off the bird, paired with some Swiss, and the huge bacon slice. (See pic) Considering the size of the sub roll, there was barely avocado or ranch dressing on the sub. I would’ve ordered something else had I known because without the mayonnaise I added, it was too dry of a sub. The massive pickle slice and plain UTZ chips served their purpose. I still LOVE THIS PLACE and will continue to order their food...

FURTHERMORE, I emphatically RECOMMEND Werner’s unbelievable steamed shrimp!!! NOW, it’s a happy hour special. I kind of wish it was a menu item for lunch although. Thanks to the owner (a couple weeks back), I was able to order some (HUGE) steamed shrimp (and fries). WHAT AN ABSOLUTE TREAT IT WAS! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and the BEST steamed shrimp I have ever had. (see pic) Thanks again to the owner for allowing me this as a lunch...

We typically frequent this restaurant during the week. We came on a Sunday, the place was busier than normal. It took 10 minutes to get water and 25 minutes to get just one of the drinks we ordered. The Long Island was terrible and I didn’t finish it, the second drink never came. We placed our order for a chicken cheesesteak with fries and a two egg platter with sausage and a side of bacon. We waited 45 minutes for the food. The chicken cheesesteak was missing toppings asked for and had the smallest amount of chicken possible, we’ve ordered it before and this was inconsistent with previous entries and came with a very small portion of fries that cost an additional $2.49. The side of bacon didn’t come out. At this point, we were frustrated. We asked that the cheesesteak and bacon be removed from the bill, the card was charged and they did not remove the items we asked to be removed. I had to CHASE down the server to inquire about the discrepancy. The Manager was there and I heard him tell the server that they are f&$#ing up and then said to get away from him while she tried to rectify the bill. The Manager, ended up giving me $15 and said this should cover it because it was $12 worth of food but with taxes and food cost, the total was $18. That not withstanding, I will try the establishment again and make the determination if I’ll ever patronize this...

I seldom opt to post bad reviews, but this is needed for others visiting B’more and looking for a meal. I found this restaurant after seeing them post about bottomless mimosas, mai tais, and lemon drops on Instagram.

My sister and I visited on a Saturday and ordered lemon pepper wings, miso glazed wings, and separate orders of the crab egg rolls. My sister also tried the bottomless lemon drops (since Mai tais were no longer a part of their offering) while I had an old fashioned.

The Good: the waiter was really nice and the drinks were good. The Bad: The chicken wings tasted as if they were fried in the same grease for fish. My sister tried to eat her lemon pepper wings but they just were disgusting. Add to that, the crab egg rolls with the sweet and sour dipping sauce were horrific. The Very Bad: when we asked if the lemon pepper wings be removed from the tab, we were informed by our waiter that their policy is not to remove anything off the bill regardless of the fact that the quality is terrible. (We didn’t attempt to remove the crab egg rolls because we knew it was a gamble to try them and felt adventurous). As a customer, the quality of food should be assured and if a restaurant has the gall to have such a policy that means that they know their food is...
