Doozy's Diner — Restaurant in Catonsville

I’m sorry to be leaving this negative review, but I feel like it must be said. My boyfriend and I arrived around 12:15 on a Sunday and were waiting to put our name in at the hostess stand so we could wait for a table. As we were waiting for the party in front of us to finish talking to the hostess, not one, but TWO people butted the line and put their names in at the hostess stand before we had the chance to. The first person was told a 10 minute wait, the second person was told a 20 minute wait, and by the time we put in our name, we had a 35 minute wait. Now, I mostly blame the people who butted in line, but the hostess surely saw us waiting and could have spoken up that we were there first.

If that was the only thing that went wrong, I would have been more understanding. We decided to wait the 35 minutes and were told we’d get a text when our table was ready. We walked around Frederick Road for a bit. After 40 minutes, we hadn’t received a text, so we went back inside to check on our table. The hostess apologized and said she accidentally texted the wrong number on her notes, so another party got our table. She was kind about it, offered us drinks which I appreciated, and told us another table would be ready in 5 minutes or less. So we waited 5+ minutes outside to no avail. That’s when we decided to leave, after waiting close to an hour.

I’m willing to give Doozy’s another try, but my boyfriend is not as forgiving. I was quite excited to try the food so I’m disappointed about...

We are so excited about this new spot in the cherished duesenbergs location (and very glad it's open on Sundays!) Arrived on Saturday around noon, as noted by others, staff are extremely friendly and seems like only large parties needed to wait. Our satisfaction with our orders was varied. The deviled eggs were maybe a little overpriced ($6 for 4 halves) and the base was kind of meh but the bacon jam on top was GREAT. The pastrami Reuben was delicious and the meat was really good (I would have liked a little more sauerkraut but my son loved it). Tater tots were SUPER crispy (they were out of the smashed potatoes by then). The Sante Fe omelet was great, the omelet itself was very fluffy and light, the carne asada was flavorful and delicious. The biscuit was dry and flavorless and no amount of butter could restore it. The stacked enchiladas, while appearing delicious (see photo) were also disappointing. There was scant meat on it, and there were a LOT of refried beans that tasted like they just came out of the can. The entire thing was cold, and the corn tortillas were very difficult to cut through. The two sauces were good, but overall I would not order it again. We are totally aware that it's the first week in business, so some kinks are to be expected. Overall, we look forward to coming back and trying more things-lots on the...

We just hosted 35 people there for a private family event between Christmas and New Years. Chris was awesome to work with on the menu and arrangements. Brooke was our server and was simply extraordinary. (We first met Brooke when she waited on our table for two in November and we talked about the possibility of a private event. She was awesome then too.)

Doozy's provided great appetizers that pleased everyone for the first hour of our event. During this time, we had multiple card games going at the front of the restaurant while other small groups engaged in conversations in the back room. This allowed us to socialize before we all gathered in the back room for the main meal. The fish, steak, and chicken were all big entrée hits. The sides were excellent too.

Dessert involved excellent and very large chocolate chip cookies that were warm from the oven and served with whip cream. They were a huge hit.

Brooke was awesome the whole evening, attending to all our beverage needs, clearing plates, delivering entrees, and making everyone, from 3 years to 84 years old, feel welcome. She has an astounding memory and is one of the best servers we know in the area.

Well done Doozy's! See you again soon, perhaps with some smaller groups in the coming months. We would love to do a private event again...
