Clear Spring Country Diner

Good diner home cooking, good stop off I70. We had the fried chicken, very tasty. Our son had chicken tenders (Dino’s) and fries. He was happy. The coconut cream pie was delicious! Nice friendly service and reasonably priced.

As diner’s go this is very good and friendly. Good service at a great price. Homemade patty sausage was very tasty.

Very quantity little place. Definitely not fine dining but very homey, tasty, and friendly. We stopped on our way through.

We stopped here on our way back from our Family Vacation at Deep Creek Lake. The server was very friendly, the service was quick and they had great home style cooking. We had hot turkey sandwiches, hot roast beef sandwiches & bacon cheeseburgers. The restaurant is nothing fancy but the food was good and very reasonably priced.

Small but good, service has always been good and the price is reasonable. Saves a trip to Hagerstown. Oh and the cream of crab soup is a must!

If you are staying at the Sleep Inn 4 miles away, this is one of few alternatives to McDonalds. It is far superior to McDs. It is a simple, clean restaurant with a basic menu. I had fried chicken and a salad. The chicken was cooked just right with a crunchy breading, but very little seasoning. The meat was tasty. The salad was a simple bowl of iceberg lettuce, a few tomato slices, shredded cheddar and onions.
Nothing great, but quite decent. I also had a slice of coconut cream pie, which was very good.

Found on Unilocal and it did not disappoint. Nice and clean, friendly server, good food. Glad we stopped.

Who would have thought this little diner would be so pleasant. Complete with I Love Lucy wall hangings and a waitress with a smile.
We zipped in pre White Tail ski day. It was a perfect breakfast of French toast, bacon, and home fries. I thought it was excellent!
I really wanted the fried chicken and Almond Joy pie, but it was 8 am! Next time!

A perfect diner just off interstate 70. Wonderful service! Fried chicken was a wonderful guilty pleasure and chicken salad sandwich was perfect!

Who would have thought that eastbound traffic on I-​70 would be so abysmal on a Sunday afternoon? Exhausted after four hours, when we should have been home already, we stopped for a meal at this no-​frills roadside diner.
Our first surprise was the interior, which was solidly weird. The front feels like a fast-​food joint, with specials scrawled on as chalkboard and sterile white floors. Then there’s a dark vestibule off to the side with more tables, and around the corner is the main «dining» room, with pink vinyl booths. It felt like a combination of three different rooms, none of which really seemed like a restaurant.
Likewise, the service, which others have raved about, was decidedly. .. odd. It took a long time for the lone waitress to make her way to our table, and then another long time for our food to arrive. She wasn’t rude, but she definitely wasn’t friendly either.
Finally, the food: fried chicken was hot and crispy with a little spice, and the hearty soups tasted homemade (my husband, a cream of crab connoisseur, thought theirs was excellent.) His hot turkey sandwich was pretty standard cafeteria quality, as were the sides of corn and green beans I ordered. Their coconut cream pie was really excellent, thick and sweet with a crispy crust, though I didn’t understand the meringue top — I had thought plain whipped cream was the standard. Overall, solidly above average but not amazing.
So? If you’re stuck in traffic and starving, go for it. Just don’t expect greatness.

This is an unassuming old time restaurant where locals hang out.
They have the best cream of crab soup I’ve ever had. My husband has also tried the potato soup and really enjoyed it.
On various visits we’ve eaten:
Chicken sandwich
Onion rings
Mac & cheese
Turkey open faced sandwich
Beer-​battered cod
Waffle fries
Hush puppies
Chocolate cake with peanut butter
Pumpkin roll
Red velvet cake
Everything is hot and quite good. The service is friendly and the price is appropriate. We always visit at least once when we come to Whitetail.

This place was on the way to ocean city and it was fun! It was country, simple, clean, and home style. Loved it and the pies in the window looked amazing!

Stopped here during Ragnar Relay because the next exchange wasn’t open for a few hours. Amazing great diner. Highly recommended. Will be back next year! (Grilled cheese, fries and peanut butter pie are my recommendations) Also read the board! Missed out on waffle fries and sweet potato fries :(

Wow this place has character and great cheap food. Visiting is a must! I had the great cream of crab soup, a freshly made hamburger and fries for $ 9

The Clear Spring Country Diner was Well worth the short detour off I-​70. We started off with a cup of each of the 2 homemade crab soups: Maryland and Cream of Crab. Both were outstanding. Then on to one of the chalkboard specials of the day: beerr battered cod. We asked to substitute sliced cucumber salad for the Mac ‘n Cheese. No problem and a delicious choice. The second side featured, stewed tomatoes, had sold out, The beets we took instead were fine, but not special.
Then there was dessert. We thought we had died & gone to Heaven after our first bite of Almond Joy Pie! Oreo crust, chewy coconut filling with toasted almonds and whole almonds drizzled with chocolate on the top!!! Indescribably delicious. Will be returning just for thar!!! Will probably even call ahead to order a whole pie to take home.
The staff could not have been more welcoming. We arrived shortly before the 8 pm closing time, but were served graciously and warmly. Prices from an earlier era!
What a great discovery. We can’t wait to get out of the «fast lane» and enjoy dining again at the Clear Spring Country Diner!

The soup here is extremely good as is the pie we stopped as we pass by and found this place I would say if your close by stop here
