I love the unhinged poster.

I'm also from the Northeast and thoroughly agree with pretty much everything she said.

Just stumbled across Plato's Diner in College Park this morning- I think it fits the bill.

8 page menu.

Breakfast 24 hours.

Chrome.

Dessert cooler.

Gyros at 9am.

Yum.

I would like to hear more from the unhinged poster about the "unspeakable atrocities".

Strawberry cream cheese? chocolate pancakes? french toast with cream cheese?

I like Plato's OK -- not generally a fan of the Greek diners -- big fat, tasteless sausages, bland, runny eggs. Yuck.

13:16 - sory for the ealr post. meant to say prefer the Diner for breakfast. And I'm pretty sure both serve Tryt coffee, and I like that The Diner serves it in traditional diner coffee mugs. Plus we like the cartoons on the TV on weekend mornings since it helps entertain the kids/let us eat.

Love the hash brown omelet at Parkway Deli. Also great sandwiches. And pancakes. And milkshakes. I'm hungry.

The hashbrowns are awesome. As are the milkshakes. And the pickle bar. And the matzo ball soup (and I'm a WASP).

I grew up in Catonsville and the Double T is awesome! The menu is beyond huge and they have fantastic pies. I haven't been in ages. I must make a stop the next time I am in the old 'hood. The Bel Loc Diner in Parkville on East Joppa Rd. at the intersection with Loc Raven Blvd. is another option in the Towson area of Baltimore.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Nick's in Wheaton. Owned by Greek family, cash only. Voted best diner by WTOP listeners.

Agree that Tastee is awful and Silver is chain dining and not a real diner.
Agree with Amphora recommendations.
In Bethesda, I like Old Georgetown Grill. It's really consistently good. No old rail car, no chrome, but the menu is traditional and the food is quick and tastes as it should. Service is spotty--sometimes I've gotten up to refill my own coffee and they've gotten the point.
And Bob & Edith's freaking rules.

Haven't tried Nick's. Have driven past it. Will have to check it out.

I like Plato's

If you like southern food style diners, Florida Avenue Grill and Wilson's in DC are great
