Came here for breakfast, I was not disappointed nor did I go away hungry. If you're in the Baltimore area looking for something good to eat at a reasonable price with portions that are just right, you've found your place. Also featuring historic "bomb" that's not to far outside of the restaurant.

The food is delicious, affordable with ample portion sizes. Plus, its always a thrill to eat at this famous Diner spot where so many TV series were filmed like House of Cards and Homicide, Life on the Streets. I had "The Oriole" sandwich loaded with corn beef and pastrami with a side of fries and a pickle. It was delicious and filling!

Baby.... I would literally be wider than all outside if I kept this in my weekly rotation. See IG will get you in trouble, I am big on visuals and they did not miss! Just as perfect as the video that advertised it! And the flavorrrr , to freaking die for! When I tell you this smash burger, juicy, delicious, filling and enjoyable, a hug to your mouth and soul! I will definitely patronize again! This was a great start to my trip to CT yesterday to send off my uncle and it comforted me so! Thank you, I’ll be back to dine in to see what other great items are hitting and check out the atmosphere

Werners has truly outdone itself with a spectacular revival! Every dish on the new and enhanced menu, curated by the exceptional Chef Bobby Owens, tantalizes the taste buds with the most exquisite flavors in downtown Baltimore. The cocktails are a masterpiece, meticulously crafted by their skilled bartender, setting the stage for a culinary journey. From the breakfast offerings to the main courses, each bite is a revelation. The crispy honey Old Bay wings are a standout, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, while the sweet honey shrimp leaves a lasting impression. The salmon stir fry is simply unforgettable, demonstrating the art of perfect seasoning and cooking. The visual feast continues with the gravy lamb chops, accompanied by potatoes and green beans, each component cooked to perfection and brimming with flavor. The shrimp and sausage, paired with silky smooth grits, create a comforting, heavenly dish. The smashburger is a triumph, undoubtedly one of the best burgers to grace the palate this year. To cap off an incredible meal, their desserts are not just treats but a grand finale to an exceptional dining experience.

First time there. Food. Drinks. And service was top tier. Ari was bomb. She was on top of refilling out endless drinks. I would go back and recommend

Wanted a good breakfast and I got one. Ordered the pancake platter and it was pretty good. Service here was very good. Attentive and very polite. Recommend if you're looking for a good breakfast by the Inner Habor.

This diner is definitely old school, so if you’re looking for new and fresh this will not be the place for you. However, my first time visiting the diner was on 2/25/2025 after seeing an influencer post about the restaurant on Instagram. My family and I tried the crab egg rolls, the shrimp, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits and bacon and eggs Benedict. Everything was delicious and came out fairly quickly. The restaurant is seat yourself, but there is plenty of space. Also gratuity is included on any check and our server Ari was truly a sweetheart.
