★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Berman · Feb 2026

This place is great! It's been here forever, and it hasn't changed -- it's really kept the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and even the prices are really reasonable for what you get. Great corned beef sandwiches, outrageously delicious crab cakes, a very good milkshake, breakfast food, and bright orange walls that make for a joyful outing. Great people, too! Can't wait to go back!

Great college deli style place but in a Main Street store front setting. The seating is tight but it’s not uncomfortable. I would go again. Food was great for a small town famous restaurant. Sandwiches are very sizable portioned. Staff was friendly and pretty quick for how busy they were.

I just found this not so hidden gym. The food and service was excellent. The staff treat you as family members. The basket of pickles they bring to the table instead of bread were something else. The food is decently priced and you get a large portion for your money. They also have some delicious desserts which they make from scratch every day. The seating is a bit tight but they do have an upstairs with a little more roomy seating arrangement. The bathrooms are also upstairs, which is up a set of steep and narrow steps. I will most definitely be back and recommend that you give them a try.

Best meal at a diner i’ve ever had, it’s so light and made with ingredients that don’t bloat you and make you feel uncomfortable after. Melanie was so nice and took great care of us and made us feel so welcome, she was honestly so nice and is one of the reasons we will be coming back. I highly recommend everything on their menu but we had the ceaser salad, cookies and cream milkshake, annapolis cheesesteak, and crab dip all of it was so amazing and I can’t wait to go back and try more of their food honestly 10000000/10 *do not skip out on their donuts they are SO GOOD!!*

First time in Annapolis and tried to eat each meal somewhere new, but had to take a second trip here. I'm not sure how you can make pastrami taste like it's more than a deli sandwich but it was incredible. The Philly was pretty good, and great burgers. Tried the crab mac and cheese as well, I would say that was good, but everything else was great. Service was really good and the place had a really cool old deli vibe they should never change.
