6 reviews for Bel-Loc Diner
When you walk into the diner you feel like you are stepping back into the '50s- and the waitresses and hostess look and seem like they have been working there since the '50s. Its atmosphere has it typical diner feel and look. The menu hosts your typical diner fare- burgers, sandwiches, breakfast and pies. We headed here this past Friday night. I was a little surprised that the menu was as small as it was compared with other menus I have seen at diners.
I had the Bel-Loc Burger- which I was told was like a Big Mac. In a sense it was except for the secret sauce. It was 2 patties, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles layered between 3 bun pieces. Since it had not sauce I asked for mayo and bit into my pile o' burger. The patties were wide and more are the thinner size but since there were 2 patties you had enough beef. The burger had great flavor and was very juicy- it gets a bit messy but the bun soaks up most of the juices. It was a pretty satisfying burger- add some bacon and sauce and it may become one of my favorite ones! It was served with chips- next time give me some fries.
My husband had one of the open faced sandwiches covered in gravy. He had the Beef and Gravy- the beef was one of the burger patties covered in mounds of dark brown gravy and grilled onions. He also enjoyed the beef but said he dint care much for the gravy (and there was a lot of it- he ended up scrapping most of it off and it with out it). It was served with fries and coleslaw. The slaw was pretty good how ever the side of fries seemed to be smaller than a small fry at McDonalds.
For desert I tried a slice of their coconut cream pie. I wasn't sure where the coconut was because besides the garnish on top I didn't find much shredded coconut. You could taste coconut so I am assuming they use a lot of coconut flavoring or extract to flavor the pie. It was ok but I have had better.
Overall, it's and average place. It wouldn't be my first choice to go for diner food but if I wanted something quick and a skip from my house I would go again. I wouldn't mind trying the breakfast. Also after just doing some reading they serve some good homemade milkshakes.
Typical diner menu, very friendly service.
Our only visit to this quaint diner did not yield great culinary results - boring, underseasoned sandwiches and passable fries. The service was so nice, though, that we'll consider visiting again to try some breakfast offerings or maybe a burger.
I know plenty of people who love this place, and like Justin P., I have certainly been pulling for it all these years. But when one meal of a cheeseburger and french fries makes one deathly ill, and another meal of meatloaf tastes like ground-up brown dirty socks and makes all THREE diners deathly ill, I'm afraid I just can't go back.
May be the reason I've since become a vegetarian.
Although my friend raves about their breakfasts.
There are waitresses here that have been working it since the '50's.
I love this place because it has Baltimore city charm, but in the county. The waitresses are vaguely ornery sometimes and endearingly grandmotherly at others, but service is just fine overall. The food is typical for a cheap diner and I like it that way. Don't attempt a salad here, eggs and toast are the m.o. It's only open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday, and closes at 11:00 the rest of the week.
I have no idea if the jukeboxes are haunted or if someone was playing a joke on my friends and I, but one night, every song or artist we talked about in passing conversation ended up coming on without our touching it. My uncertainty about how this happened adds to the charm of the place.
Oh my, Bel-Loc certainly has the look of real old classic diner... and I want it to be good... but it just hasn't been. Maybe I should give it another shot? We just haven't had much luck with the food. Believe me, though, I am pulling for the Bel-Loc, because it would be my kind of place! Truth be told, you should defer to carrie p., she's eaten here more than me. I'll have to get her to review it.
This is a wonderful place for that Baltimore diner feel. The food is typical diner food and waitress are either grandmotherly or hot..lol
