Tastee Diner

A real honest to goodness diner with friendly service and great food and tasty coffee. The creamed chipped beef over fresh baked fluffy biscuits is top shelf. But don't wait until too late in the day to order it, as they might run out of biscuits. It's still tasty over toast, though. It's not one of those upscale retro designed places with overpriced everything - it's the real deal. There's an affordable parking structure across the street - $3.00 for two hours, allowing plenty of time to enjoy your meal. Limited free street parking is available but may involve a bit of a hike to the diner. A hidden jewel in Bethesda for many years, and hopefully for many, many more.

... it's 9 am and I'm walking the mean streets of Bethesda, MD. With an hour to kill, I decided to grab a cup of joe. I was reaching for the Starbucks door when I spotted the old school gem across the street and made a beeline for it. It was a perfectly preserve relic from 1935, where the only thing that has changed is probably the complexion of the clientele. There was the "saucy old broad" behind the counter sparing playfully with the regulars, the waitress who brings over the pot every time my cup is half full and the sound of dishes clanging in the background. It was perfect! One of the most enjoyable and entertaining cups of coffee I've had in a long time.

For almost a year now my friend and I have made a routine visit on Sundays for lunch here. We have fallen in love with this place. We had gotten into a routine with the Silver Spring Tastee Diner, and when it closed we tried other places, but nothing can compare to the real thing. They always try their best to do the right thing. We try to get our favorite waitress, but the others are just as good, even the ones that buss the tables. The food is pure Diner food, always served promptly, always fresh and hot. I can't say enough good things about the place!

Absolutely recommend this place. Great diner breakfast. Very pleasant and timely service. Right across the street from a large Starbuckys...but these folks serve a decent cup of joe of their own! Not that normal burnt briny taste you get in some places. Nothing but good stuff here, folks! Love the dining car refit! You might get lucky and find a good parking space right out front, but if not just keep looking; something will turn up 😉

I was in town on a business trip and decided to get some real food. After doing a little research, I noticed this place had plenty of great reviews. I normally don't pay others any mind when it comes to taste, but I figured why not. Walking in takes me back about 50 years. But don't let that scare you off. I ordered the pancakes, eggs and sausage. Let me tell you, it was on point. I normally could wolf down pancakes with no problem. But the serving was plenty. Everything was great. If you want a happy meal, don't go there. But if you want a really delicious meal, give this place a try.
