19:02 IS unhinged. Eloquent, passionate and definitely unhinged.

19:42 here. I was trying to be diplomatic.

Isn't the full name, "The World Famous Florida Avenue Grill?" I've heard good things about it, but have never been. It's just too far for me to walk, and if I'm getting in a car, I'm going to Parkway.

I'm from the northeast too, and all I can say is, good luck with that.

Atlantis in Alexandria is definitely a diner-like experience, and they have a huge menu. Everything from sandwiches & burgers to delicious gyros.

this is not a diner. It is a small restaurant in Potomac that serves ok breakfast and pizza. A diner is a large shiny restaurant with a menu that is 5 pages long, a waitress that calls you hon and isopen 24 hours.

There is no place like this in the area. We are a food deprived area.

There are diners...just not too many classic ones. College Park has one greasy spoon diner like Silver Spring's Tastee Diner. There are some of these around.

Agree with the Amphora recs.

Not sure what all the hate about the Silver Diner being a chain is for. It is a very small chain not a huge corporate chain. Definitely not traditional diner food but yummy food and very kid friendly.

Also from Long Island and missing my good ole Greek diner with every option under the sun!

We make do with The Diner in Adams Morgan or Open City in Woodley Park. Open City has the added bonus of awesome coffee.

Double T diner on rt 40 in think in Catonsville seems to be exactly what everyone is talking about. It's a big shiny diner owned by Greeks with a gigantic menu with everything you can think of!

Ditto on Atlantis in Bradlee shopping center. Great breakfast, awesome Greek options. Not chrome or jukebox, but six page menu of delicious food. That's what I go to a diner for.

IT MUST BE OWNED BY GREEKS OR SOME OTHER SUCH ETHNIC MINORITY OR IT WILL BE A REDNECK PLACE OR A 'ROADHOUSE' WHERE UNSPEAKABLE ATROCITIES ARE COMMITTED.
