Positively Average

by erisdoe at Citysearch

Food is average diner food. Fine for late night dining. I have had trouble with the service. We visited at about 4 in the afternoon. Our food was fine. The server ignored our requests for coffee refills (we had not asked for repeated refills, just the one) and water refills. Then, even there were only two average people seated at our table, she added a tip to the check.

• Pros: late night dining, parking

Nothing To Write Home About

by Stacy8145 at Citysearch

I went to the Catonsville Double T after a coworker recommended that I try it out. I was a little less than pleased.

I got a seat right away which is good and was given a few minutes to pick something out. However, when my omelet arrived it was slightly burnt. It wasn't bad enough to send back but a diner like this shouldn't screw up omelets at all. Also my toast had obviously been sitting out for some time and one of the pieces wasn't toasted. It had just been placed in a toaster long enough to dry out and then dried out even more as it sat in the kitchen for who knows how long.

The service was OK. My waiter wasn't very friendly and I had to wait a long time for a drink refill. However, he did come back to check on me and got me more ketchup when I asked. I was happy enough with him to leave a decent tip.

I did like the busy atmosphere and the decor.

Perhaps some of the other Double T's in the area are better but I won't be back to visit this one.

• Pros: Large selection, huge portions, nice diner-like atmosphere
• Cons: Mediocre food, mediocre service

Service?

by Whatever at Citysearch

I was there on Saturday to get dessert as they have a variety of good ones. I went back on Tuesday evening to pick up a strawberry cake that I found to be especially good. I wanted to have my sisters and brothers taste it to decide if we would order several cakes for an upcoming family event. There were several hotesses around, welcoming and seating customers, and a young man at the register. Two of the hotesses looked directly at me and purposely turned away, ignoring me. (this is after they had seated others and had nothing else to do, but just stand in one place). Finally, I walked up to the young man and inquired about the cake. He went into the back to check. Unfortunately they had no more of this particular cake. Still, I walked over to the cake display, checking for other selections. I turned around to see one of the hotesses just gazing at me. She never asked if she could help me, nothing. I won't be returning. I had the distinct feeling of prejudice and hatred. Beware of businesses like this; you don't know what they might be stirring up in the back kitchen.

• Pros: Good Desserts
• Cons: Lousy service

Meh, It's Open All Night

by evawhitley at Citysearch

Being open 24/7 is pretty much the reason why the Double T endures. Not the best food in town, not the worst, either. This a good restaurant for large groups, they seem pretty flexible about adding tables, etc. The huge menu means most diets can be accommodated. The desserts look better than they taste.

You can get better food up the street at Shirley's but they can't handle large groups as well as Double T. The service is not excellent (sometimes it's downright bad) but not as consistently bad as the Paper Moon or Burke's. They do take their time serving you. It's less annoying in a large group.

The prices are in line with similar restaurants, neither a bargain nor outrageously expensive. If you want bargain food, you'd be better off going up Rolling Road to Pioneer Pit Beef. But it's cheaper than Paper Moon.

There's nothing here that would make me vow never to come back but nothing memorable to make me suggest it UNLESS you have a large group of diverse tastes. Then coming here makes sense.

• Pros: Open all night, good for groups, big menu
• Cons: Leisurely service even when fully staffed

What's up with the Gratuity fee?

by srholley at Citysearch

The experience i had Double T Diner wasn't the worst but far from the best. The biggest down all i feel they have is the Gratuity fee. A tip is a courtesy Not an obligation. The service was poor, and in my opinion the waiters and waitresses at a buffet provide a friendlier atmosphere. The food isn't afordable, it'scheap. I've always looked at a Diner a placewith wholesome meals. Double T Diner serves frozen fench fries, but home made gravy. One positive thing i can say is this, their Cheesecake is too Die for. I'm willing to get up in the middle of the night to get a piece, and risk losing sleep, lol

• Pros: Cheesecake
• Cons: Gratuity Fee!

Not the same

by cneal1 at Citysearch

Visited Double T in the past and it certainly has changed. I like the fact that I can get breakfast at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. But it's not worth the trip. Servers are not the most pleasant, food quality has decreased and prices have increased.

• Pros: 24 hour eats, lots of seating

Was ok till i got my charge card bill

by johnnyrobot at Citysearch

I had an ok dinner there recently and i left and got the info from my bank that i'd been overcharged. I promptly called them and asked to speak to the manager. When the manager got on the phone he was rather irate and rude implying that i was stupid and that it was "Impossible" for that to happen. I work in retail. it isn't Impossible. I don't recommend this place because of the managers inability to act professionaly.

Good after a night of studying or drinking...

by hypergrrly at Citysearch

Of all the things I miss in Baltimore, I seriously miss going to the Double T after spending the night writing a paper or out drinking with friends. Sure, you get what you pay for--the food isn't top-notch stuff--but it IS open late, and the food's pretty good for the price. I say that having spent my broke college years in Baltimore. Also, the staff is friendly, and they are easy to establish rapport with.

• Pros: open late, comfort food, fairly fast
• Cons: crowded at times

Not your typical diner

by grandamjim at Citysearch

When it comes to diner food and atmosphere, this establishment wins hands down. From the friendly staff and waiters to the quickness of service, the Double TT can't be beat. Next time we're in Baltimore, it's dinner there for me and the misses so we can sample some of those fine desserts on display at the counter as you wealk in.

We liked It

by kimandrea at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I work late so its great late at night. When we go we usually order breakfast. The portions are so large that we always have to take some home. My favorite is the waffle, his is the Strawberry Malt Milkshake.

• Pros: Great Food, Nice Date Spot
