A True Authentic Diner. A Baltimore area institution. Friendly wait staff, tasty and reasonably priced meals and desserts. This IS the real thing and not a replica. Just like something you see in 50s-60s films. Crank up the table jukebox and have a blast.…
Boooooo!!!! The worst diner in Maryland!!!!!. Poor service, Poor Menu ( No mash patatoes in a diner???? That's SAD!!!!) and a overall bad dining expearence!!!
Oh that Raisin French Toast!!. The Bel-Loc is a favorite diner of ours! When we are in the Towson area, we make it a point to have a meal there...we always seem to make it there for breakfast, which is a good thing because the Bel-Loc has the most awesome raisin french toast! Other goodies include SOS and very fresh orange juice! Prices are decent and the Bel-Loc is a breath of fresh air compared to the some of the "larger" diners in the area (the locals know who I mean) where breakfast goes up on weekends and holidays:(. I love their mugs of coffee!…
Classic American cuisine makes this family-run diner perfect for budget-minded folks with late-night munchies..
The Scene
At this diner, waitresses greet longtime customers by name and stick a candle into the dessert when birthdays roll around. Bel-Loc's counter and cozy vinyl booths make it look
like a freeze frame from 1964, the year it opened. At a time when most restaurants don't welcome smokers, the Bel-Loc hostess greets diners with the question, "Smoking or nonsmoking?" A side dining room permits smokers to puff away while they eat.
The Food
No surprises here: just beefy burgers, turkey with gravy and crispy fried fish. Classic diner favorites tend to be better than more ambitious items like crab cake sandwiches. All entrees come with salad and your choice of two vegetables, just like Mom used to make. Catch Bel-Loc at breakfast, available around the clock, and you'll agonize between thick-sliced raisin-bread French toast and fluffy, mountainous omelets. Save room for a slice of rich coconut cream pie washed down with a smooth cup of joe.…
An alternative to Denny's. Sometimes this place seems sad- lonely people sitting alone in the wee hours of the morning. And sometimes this place has a community feel- everyone knows everyone else and the waitresses join in all the conversations. Sometimes this place seems like it's gone downhill- the servers have bad attitudes and the food is almost inedible. But if you're in the mood for an omlette at 4:00 AM, this place sure beats Denny's. You can even play tunes on the juke box for 25 cents.…
