Beth and I this AM tried The Nautilus Diner and Restaurant in Crofton, MD, about 22 miles from our house. It questionably qualifies as a Baltimore Diner - imo - but it had its high points.
The food was pretty good, though our potatoes had a fishy taste. The service was attentive and excellent. We also enjoyed the mini-jukeboxes at each table, a throwback to the 50's. We may give it another shot, though I definitely prefer our most recent discovery, the Honey Bee Diner in Glen Burnie.
About five years ago, Kenny Sheppard and I started visiting and episodically reviewing Baltimore Diners when he was a Ph.D student at Johns Hopkins. But after Kenny abandoned our somber quest to marry Candace and move back to Canada, Beth agreed to join me in my search. Baltimore Diners have their own culture that I find fascinating. Wait staff tend to be efficient but not effusive. In the better Diners, the food is excellent. They most definitely have a blue collar feel.
So far, Kenny, Beth, and I (occasionally joined by Candace) have visited:
The quest continues.
