Tastee Diner

by Laura Blythe-Goodman, Page Editor
Name: Tasty Diner
Location:
Phone Number:301-598-8171
Price range for entrees: $1.25-16.95

If you are going to the Tasty Diner, you're most likely not looking for quality food that fulfills all your health needs.  You're probably looking for exactly what they have, more than decent food and a diner atmosphere straight from a movie.  The waitresses are friendly, for the most part, but be warned: ordering anything remotely considered healthy could be grounds for waitress laughter. I'd recommend the basics; grilled cheese, sandwiches, homemade chili or hamburgers.  (They actually have added a veggie burger for the vegetarians out there).  The Tasty Diner is just that, a diner.  They are very good at what they do and I recommend sticking with that.  Venturing into such treacherous territories as salads or fresh fruit can be risky.  Dessert is also a surprise, as the delicious pies sometimes lose their appeal in being frozen.  Despite the occasional problems, I highly recommend the Tasty for its staple foods and ambiance.  It is the perfect choice for a late night outing, especially if you're craving breakfast food, which they serve all day.
Located within walking distance of the Silver Spring metro, there is also a parking garage conveniently found across the street.

    If you really want to get laughed at by the waitresses, order cinnamon toast and half of a grapefruit.

    Good review of a legendary Montgomery County down-home all-night eatery, but no fewer than five times on this page, the word DINER was mis-typed as DINNER!

    Of course, one can have dinner at a diner, but it ain't the "Tasty Dinner" and there ain't no such thing as a "dinner atmosphere."

    The Tastee (that's two Es, not a Y!) is great, but it's really only good between 11PM and 8AM.
