Double-TT Diner

Was not to please with the food. And the restaurant smelt like a retirement center for the elderly. My corned beef hash was burnt and the hash browns were under cooked. I will try this place again to make sure it was just a bad day for me. :-)

We stopped in about 10:30pm on Sunday night after a dance. Two of us ordered the Senior Double T Breakfast Special, and one ordered a burger with cheese, mushrooms, and grilled onion, no bun, sub onion rings for fries.
After waiting about 20 minutes for our food, (there were only 2 other tables with guests) the burger arrived on a bun, served with fries. She could have just not eaten the bun, but the cheese and mushrooms were all stuck to the bun. The server took it back and had it remade. After about 10 minutes, her dinner came out. The burger which was ordered med rare, was well done. The mushrooms were out of a can, and the onions were barely grilled. The onion rings were great! She needed mustard for the burger, but the server never came back. She finally had to get up and go to the cash register to get the server back. By this time she was discouraged and just sent the burger back. She did have a cup of soup and onion rings that were good.
Our breakfasts came with eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage, and choice of pancakes or French toast. The eggs were fine on both plates. The home fries were cold. The sausage was terrible tasting, and the bacon was so over cooked and hard it was not edible. The pancakes were good, but the French toast was burnt. The syrup was served cold in small single serve sealed cups. We ate the eggs, and the pancakes only. Everything else was left on the plate.
One of us ordered a milkshake. It was $ 4 and was like a child’s serving. Extremely small for an adult $ 4 serving. One of the benefits of being a senior citizen is receiving a senior discount. This restaurant advertised a 10% discount on any breakfast for seniors. The server did not know anything about it, but did ask and we were told that the discount would be taken at the register. When we went to pay, the cashier did not believe we were seniors and actually carded the 65 year old man in our group. The discount was on the breakfast, so it was $ 1 off each breakfast. REALLY! You card the senior for his $ 1 savings and are shocked because he does not look 65. That is just plain rude to card a senior for a $ 1 discount!
There were 3 diners in our party. No ones food was good enough to say we would ever go back. It’s pretty hard to mess up bacon, eggs, sausage, and hamburgers! However, this restaurant managed to mess up every meal, give terrible service, and insult a senior citizen by telling him he was lying about his age!
Needless to say, we will go to Denny’s next time we are hungry after a dance. No more Double T Diner for us!

Came here for breakfast for the first time and I’m glad I did! I don’t always like coffee at restaurants but this coffee is the best! I ordered the broccoli and cheese omelette with pancakes… the omelette was good but those pancakes were so light and delicious I didn’t need or use any syrup! Yum!!!
My server Kristen was really sweet too.

I ordered a to-​go order for my first experience here, which consisted of VERY overpriced hot cakes, and no bacon. They said they did not have bacon. What diner doesn’t have bacon lol? Also they forgot my eggs, and cooked my wife’s eggs wrong. Won’t be going back.

Just Blah and disappointing. Stopped in for brunch while shopping around town and thought it wouldn’t be a bad option for the area… wrong! I had the flavorless T-​Bone and eggs while my wife had eggs, what looked like day old dried out stale bacon and she didn’t even touch the potatoes. Coffee was even disappointing, service was fine though, but you would think that a waiter/​server would look at what they’re about to give a customer and ask themselves «would I serve that to myself»?

This is one of the better double t diners. In my opinion those with the better reviews have managers that are good with customers. All the food was cooked well with hot food hot as expected. The menu at this chain is huge and any item is available at any time.

This was my first experience at this diner. I’ve eaten at other diners from this chain, and I’ve mostly become disappointed over the years. This visit was on Christmas Day, and there weren’t many (if any) other options along the drive through Harford County to the Bmore beltway. First, our server was outstanding! I travel quite a bit on business, so I eat at many kinds of eating establishments, and I’ve had every imaginable extreme with servers, and this server was superb. I can’t remember her name, but it may have been Gurung (sorry if I’m butchering her name). She was friendly, professional, and attentive. Our order was slightly tricky, and she got everything just right, and she communicated each time with a pleasant and sincere smile, a rarity in some high end steak houses, an extreme rarity in most diners. The food was very good across the board. The ham was perfect, and I find that it’s hard to get really good ham that’s cooked perfectly and doesn’t have too much fat or gristle. The only reason I didn’t rate this experience 5 stars is because one of the male servers/​managers (not sure of his exact role), who smacked the butt of one of the female servers who was standing less than 5 feet from our table. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that, not 30 years ago, and certainly not in these times. That’s unacceptable, and it took a lot of restraint from myself and my son and his friend NOT to walk over and say something to that idiot. When I went to pay the bill, I thought about bringing it to the attention of the older woman handling the cash register, but my impression from our short chat was that it would fall on deaf ears. That guy was an idiot, but this was an otherwise very good experience, particularly for «diner» food. if I knew for sure that I could get the same server — and avoid the idiot guy — I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Ive had pretty good experiences here. The food is always good and comes in pretty good portion sizes. The servers could be a little better about bringing refills, and the food does seem to take a pretty long time to come out, which is the only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5.

Love the food !
I hate the staff but a few they are not friendly at all ! They just want u to get your food and move on to the next. And John the waiter is ver rood and never checks on us we do not like him he should not be in this job

Lots on the menu! Best chicken soup ever! Open till midnight! The staff is friendly!
The menu can be overwhelming to some, but for us its great, you never have to have the same thing twice if you don’t want too.

Food ok. I like the gyros.
As for a diner, it closes early and the hours aren’t even listed according to the days of the week.
It’s clean and service is good.

Have eaten here for years and WILL NEVER GO BACK. Took home dessert today that had MOLD on it… FIFO and rotating food is the first rule in the food industry. How can I be sure the food I order isn’t moldy and from a week ago? Or recycled garbage? I am completely disgusted! Is it too much to expect to be served fresh food — $ 43 for brunch for 2 and 3 pieces of pastry. They should be ASHAMED!

i live like 5 min away from this place and and every year i order from here and always get disappointed
the food is NEVER fresh. i mean stale old.
i know its america and trust me i have low food standard in this country.

I don’t know where to start!!! I’ve been there three times (and will not be back)… the waiter of the first two times was so rude, argumentative, not pleasant at all… the third and last time, the waitress was nice. The menu is quite overwhelming, too many choices, I got confused but one of my least favorite things about this place is the customer service and PRICE!!! Do they know that they are a diner, right??? Seriously… when the bill comes, you are like: «I could have spent this amount in a nice restaurant with good food and customer service»… I live around the corner but I rather drive all the way down to Belair Road and eat at the «Overlea Diner», where they know that they are a diner, so they don’t try to be anything else, the customer service is good, the food is delicious and you will not feel you were in the wrong place when the check comes.

The 4 rating considers that I am rating a diner, not a fine dining restaurant. Given that, it’s clean, service is good, and they are open almost any time you might be hungry.
It’s a favorite place for me and my guy to enjoy each other over desert and coffee. We’ve had satisfying dinner salads and great breakfasts. If you try nothing else on the menu, treat yourself to the fresh spinach, mushroom, and tomato omelet. Yum! !!!

I have eaten here in the past and had a good experience. That said, my friends and I went again today, and it was so different that I can’t even give it two stars. Here’s what happened.
I ordered the eggs benedict, one of my favorite breakfast dishes which I have had many times and many different restaurants. This was the worst eggs benedict I’ve ever had. Even for diner food. I wasn’t expecting much, but this was downright awful. The canadian bacon was cold, the poached eggs were overcooked, and the Hollandaise sauce tasted like it had gone bad. The «home fries» (which were actually hash browns, though both the server and the manager disagreed with me on this) tasted spoiled as well, and had a weird taste to them I couldn’t pin. I couldn’t force myself to finish the eggs benedict or even take a second bite of the potatoes, even though I was extremely hungry.
So I stopped eating the food. I was upset at still being hungry, but became more aggravated as I began to feel nauseous as well. When I told the waiter about how the menu had said the meal came with home fries, and was about to ask if I could have some, he debated with me what home fries are. I have worked in retail, and in customer service. Even if I had been wrong (and, really, I wasn’t), he shouldn’t have argued and been rude about it. Just to make sure I wasn’t being an ass, I checked the handy interwebs to verify my stance on the potato dishes.
As we go to pay, I mention to the cashier my displeasure with the food. She asks one of the employees to get the manager, and I thank her. He was taking a while to get there, however, and while waiting I decided to visit the bathroom where I promptly vomited up the food I had eaten. Upon returning and voicing my complaints about the food (which again he debated the potatoes and also gave me the stink eye), and mentioning how I had just thrown up said food, he offered no apology. He did not offer to take the meal off the check. His response was simply to hand me some breath mints and stand there in silence.
I wish I could give no stars, but alas, Unilocal does not give me the option.
TL;DR
Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced, bad food, I threw it up and the manager didn’t care even the tiniest bit. I will never go back again.

I usually avoid diner’s so when my family told us where were going for breakfast I was a bit disappointed. When we pulled up I really thought, oh my god, this is going to be awful. It was all shiny and chromed out. It was sitting up off the road like a total eye sore, but this is what we do for family right? Well I was very wrong. Never judge a book by it’s cover I suppose. Breakfast was fantastic.
The menu was huge, they had anything you could want, but I was on a mission, a scrapple and chipped beef gravy mission, so that is exactly what I ordered. It was wonderful, exactly what I was wanting. They smothered my wheat toast (I had to do something to make myself not feel like a complete glutton) with just the right amount of gravy, and they gravy had just the right amount of chipped beef. Sometimes you wind up with gobs of thick gravy and little bits of beef and others there is way too much chipped beef, this was just the right ratio. The hash browns were also really good and there was enough gravy to push over onto them. My scrapple was delish. Many do not appreciate the scrapple and they are missing out. When you top it with syrup you get the perfect combo of sweet and savory. The flavor was amazing. I loved it!
I ate almost my entire meal and didn’t even feel bad. It’s not too often I indulge like this. It was the perfect country bumpkin PA breakfast I miss terribly.

Came here on the way home from NC and needed a place to stop for lunch. We did not want the typical fast food, and Unilocal reviews afters seeing the sign on one of those highway blue markers made us choose to come here.
Very crowded, but we got seated fast. The menu is enormous so being newbies here we did not know what the «go to best made thing» here was. Kids had a hot dog and fries, wife and I had paninis.
Wife loved hers, mine mediocre; burnt on one side, soggy on the other, not too flavorful. Fries came with all meals which were good. Cole slaw was bland. Soups came with the sandwiches — Italian Wedding (pretty much Minestrone with 2 meatballs thrown in and some pasta balls), and Cream Crab which the wife said was quite good.
I got a side $ 1 extra Onion Rings which I did not like at all because they tasted like they were in the fryer too long. But my kid and wife liked them.
Besides some great tasting Coke, the best thing in my mouth from Double T Diner was the half-​pickle spears! I got them all from my wife and kids. Yum!
It was nice that the place did put the ice cream desserts for the kids in take out containers so we could hit the road.
$ 50 including tax and tip for the 4 of us. I think maybe that the breakfast items are the way to go here, or try and figure out from the regulars what really is the thing to buy. There are too many choices, and they cannot be masters of them all. I’d want less quantity and more quality.

Oh diner, why oh why do you do it… I just don’t understand. Double-​T diner does what so many diners do, they have a massive menu where nearly everything is mediocre and nothing is actually good. I can’t vouch for this place aside from good service.
Why I didn’t like it:
–My cream of crab soup looked like congealed brown gravy and was neither creamy nor craby.
–My roast beef au jus was dryer than salted slug left in the sun on top of a rock (not that I’ve ever eaten that before…)
–Coleslaw…flavorless and somehow dry. I’m not even sure if that’s physically possible.
–Expensive for crappy diner food.
I’m about 90% sure this place survives on lack on competition and and the fact that the elderly patrons have long lost their sense of taste.
The service was great, they just need to slim down the menu so they don’t have to cut so many corners.

Although this Double T isn’t open 24 hours like the one on Rt. 40, it still is delicious. The servers are friendly and attentive and the menu goes on and on. The portions are huge, prices are affordable and the food is delicious.
My favorite is the breakfast special with two eggs any style, two sausage links, two bacon strips, grits (instead of home fries), and two pancakes (or French toast). It is a lot of food and I almost always finish it all. Then as soon as I leave the restaurant, I immediately regret stuffing so much food down my throat.
