Papermoon Diner

Welcome Back! I'm posting this a little later then I wanted too, unfortunatley.  School for me has started and it has been crazy getting new supplies and starting to do homework. Anyway, here is one of the posts I've been wanting to put up for a while now.  It is my review of the Papermoon Diner, a great place for breakfast in the Baltimore area.  It's also right near a very popular tourist destination called Charm City Cakes.  The Papermoon Diner is sooo good infact, that it was rated one of the 59 Best Breakfasts in America by my beloved Esquire magazine.

Name of Resturaunt: Papermoon Diner
Type of Food: Diner/American
Price: $ S (1 1/2 on a scale of 4)
Dress Code: Casual
Location: Northern part of greater Baltimore area
Official Website: http://www.papermoondiner24.com/

 Service Review: The staff (like almost everone in Baltimore) was very kind. The servers also got our orders right and quickly which are the main things I care about.  The only complaint I have is that noone informed us to pay at the register and not to wait for somebody to take the check away from you.  My mother and I were very confused and got frustrated while we "waited: for 15 minutes for someone to take the check. But thats okay, the food made up for it!
Service Rating: 4 1/2 stars

Food Review: Going into the Papermoon Diner I knew exactly what I wanted.  I got the Esquire reccommended bacon, avocado, and havardi omlette with a side of home-fries and a shake (I got vanilla).  First off, the milkshake was the thickest, sweetest, and most delicious milkshake I EVER had in my life.  It was so thick that it was nearly impossible to sip throught the straw! I bet the chocolate or strawberry shakes were amazing as well.  The omlette was GIGANTIC! My estimate was that there were about 3 or 4 eggs, probably a whole avocado, two or three slices of bacon, and a huge fistful of havarti cheese.  Can you say "artery clogging"?  Anyways, it was phenominal.  It would've been even better if the serving wasn't so big and I wasn't so stuffed when I finished eating it.  Otherwise, the seemingly odd combo of bacon and avocado and cheese came together extremley and suprisingly well.  The homefries were equally delicious.  They were so crispy and perfectly seasoned.  I am sure everything else at the Papermoon Diner is equally delicious but if you are visiting and not sure what to get you CAN NOT GO WRONG getting what I got.

Final Note: The Papermoon Diner is a great place to come and enjoy breakfast. With a zany atmosphere and delicious food there's no going wrong getting a cheap and phenominal meal here.
Do I Reccommennd It: I think this is obvious and you can figure it out on your own.

Rating: 5 Stars for the best diner EVER!

Baltimore.

Wow. It's benn a while since I've posted! The past week or so has been plenty of fun.  Since then I've gone to Baltimore for 3 days! I had a wonderful time and I would like everybody to know about Phillip's.

Name: Phillips Seafood
Type of Food: Seafood
Price: $$$
Dress Code: Casual
Location: Inner Harbor Baltimore, MD (there's numerous locations but this is the one I'm reviewing)
Official Wabsite: http://www.phillipsseafood.com/index.cfm?page=menus&id=8


Service Review: I don't know why, but everyone in Baltimore is very friendly.  Especially the staff of Phillips Seafood.  The waiter we had was very friendly, nice, and polite.  He also took our orders correctly and reccommended to us what was good on the menu.  The food was also out in perfect timing. Not too long and not too quickly.
Service Rating: 5 stars!

Food Review: When I visited Baltimore it was just my mom and I and we like to share appitizers and we shared the fried calamari that came with a delicious and spicy pineapple sauce. The calamari was cooked perfectly and we couldn't get enough of the pineapple sauce.  For dinner I had two Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes with a side of coleslaw.  THEY WERE OUTSTANDING! They had a nice amount of filler but you could stll taste the crab.  The Phillips Seafood seasoning they serve on the side went great with the crabcake as well as the tartar sauce they serve with them.  If you go to Baltimore get crab cakes because everyone knows they are the best.  My mom got Tuna Two Ways which was obviously, tuna two ways.  She got a piece of tuna steak which was okay, not the best. I perfer seared tuna over cooked.  Although hers was cooked rare I didn't enjoy it too much.  The second way was in a traditional spicy tuna roll.  This wasn't yourr average sushi. IT WAS PHENOMINAL!! It also had the perfect amount of spice and I could taste the tuna and all of the components in the roll.  DELICIOUS!

Final Note: Phillips was a seafood resturaunt where the food is quite delicious and the staff is very helpful.
Do I Reccommend It: Absolutley
