Masser Toll House Inn

We LOVED this place. Sure they don’t take plastic… or checks… guess what, that’s the way it was all over a few years ago and we survived! Food was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! Prices are VERY reasonable. A burger, a blt, coffee, iced tea, and spectacular coconut cake came to just under 18.00 including tax. We tipped above that. Some don’t like the «dated» décor, I LOVED it! Far, far, far too often EVERY restaurant feels like every other one… and ALL covered in plastic. Masser’s is the real deal. We WILL be back!!!

Masser’s food is decent and the environment it’s fairly clean. I had the roast beef one time and the trout another and didn’t have complaints for either. The only reason I give it a higher star rating is because the place is very old and it’s not as good of shape as it could be.

Masser’s is like an 80 year old showgirl who still has her charm. She may be wrinkly and covered in varicose veins but close your eyes and she will take you to heaven.

Sweetie, if you have a Unilocal friend who gave this place less than 3 stars, it’s time to unfriend them. Their opinion is worth nothing. And Sugar, if you don’t like being called, Honey, this is not the diner for you. This place is great with some prompt, friendly, home cooked food and service.
I had a perfectly cooked breakfast and a great slice of pie. My coffee was kept full and the place is warm and decorated for the holidays. Seemed like a good stream of locals and old timers enjoying the food as well. The menu was the typical diner selections you would expect with a full special board and it looks like they serve beer as well.
Went back a 2^nd time… Service still friendly, coffee still kept full, sausage patty still good. Had two different egg orders though which were both overdone, cooked to a brown bottom. (cheese omelet and scrambled eggs). I’d skip both of those next time.
They’d probably pack a few more people in if they just painted their sign and took down the plastic «restaurant open» sign that looks like it has been there since the motel went away. I mean, they’re competing with a giant candy cane signed diner next door and a Bob Evans across the street. At least put a little effort into the appearance. Who knows, maybe that is intentional to keep if for those who know it is worth visiting.

Wonderful stick to your ribs breakfast. Friendly service. Plan on going back for a lunch and dinner.

Our go to place for breakfast. Old Frederick establishment with good «home style» cooking. We’ve been going back for 30 years. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Other than breakfast, their soup is fantastic! Homemade and really good on a cold winter day!

What is a four star breakfast? You would not expect to find it here based on the exterior of this place. Best home fries I’ve ever had, hot, crispy, actual potatoes. Country sausage patties and real grits. Big ass bottle of Franks red hot sauce, and super strong hot coffee. Splenda. Locals chatting it up. God I miss Frederick.

To address the concerns of Phill Y, Masser’s isn’t a place for people who find Bob Evans an acceptable place to drop good money on over priced food out of a commercial plastic bag. Suddenly it makes sense that you’re from a charmless craphole like Philly. Drag your metrosexual casual dining loving butt back there, you’ll be happier at an Applebee’s.
For everyone else, Frederick has several diners, most are good, but Masser’s is the king! The creamed chipped beef is great and you’re not gonna go wrong having it served over home fries that are, get this, potatoes that have been cut and fried in house! The prices are absurdly affordable, (grilled cheese and chips for $ 2.70!).
The authentic diner experience is one that is dying in America sadly and Frederick is so lucky to have Masser’s, a place where you can actually get home cooked food at a reasonable price. As far as Wang C’s concern about no credit cards being taken, it says right on the door no credit cards or checks Blame yourself for not reading the sign.

Always great breakfasts!
Their homemade cakes (especially the orange cake) are also to die for!!! Definitely our breakfast destination in this area!!!

Waited 10 minutes at the bar before being acknowledged even though there was other people. Then when I saw the register looked like it was built in the 30’s and asked if they take plastic, I got a dirty look and a response that made me think they thought I was poor. Excuse me for going a month or 2 without cash and being up to date from technology from before the 90’s. Some people don’t like muggers taking their cash.

Great restaurant and good old fashioned homemade food. Great breakfast and the best cream chipped beef ever. This is an old Frederick landmark that continues to survive despite all the other new restaurants in the area. Keep up the great work!

Down-​home restaurant. I have only eaten breakfast here and it has always hit the spot. The dining room has a counter, booths and some tables. It’s small, it’s not updated, it’s not a chain. The service is friendly. Sometimes it’s slow, but only if the place is crowded. My breakfast meal has been decent, good coffee, the home fries are crispy and delicious and best of all, the price is right. Yep, it’s cash only, but it says that on the door as you walk in… plenty of chains nearby if you prefer that kind of atmosphere and need to use a credit card.

STAY AWAY! RUN FOREST, RUN!!!
I try hard to be fair but you really need to be warned about this place. First of all the place is an eye sore to look at from the outside. It really looks like one of those places that you always drive by but never consider stopping at. I don’t know why I ever went here; I guess I got fooled by some of the 5 star reviews about this place here on Unilocal.FYI: Those 5 star reviews are bogus! If you ever actually go into this place, pull up some of those 5 star reviews while you’re sitting in there and read them, you will laugh so hard. I feel like such a sucker for ever going here.
First, no credit/​debit cards are accepted, really? When you mention anything about paying with a card they act like they think paying with plastic is against their religion or something. Tomorrow starts the year 2013 and this place hasn’t had an upgrade since 1950. To say that it’s «run down» both inside and out would be a complete understatement. I had a horrible experience across the board, but here’s a few of the issues: old hard food caked up all over the kids high chairs that were positioned against the wall, dirty tables when we sat down, dirty silverware and dirty cups (the coffee mugs are plastic and they make the coffee taste like plastic), old food on the floor under our table i.e. a nasty old pancake, horrible service (that wonderful waitress that the first reviewer talked about only came back to our table when we waived and called her), the waitress told me that the place is well known for their «shit on a shingle,» my wife didn’t appreciate that back woods description for cream chip beef. The food was some of the worst I’ve ever eaten.
The Bob Evans across the street sucks too but I’d go there any day before I ever even considered coming back here.

If you want to go back to the 50s — really — you’ll want to stop here. It has true ambiance. The air conditioning blowing on you, and the seats in the booths that need new springs. But ti gives the place charm.
The menu items are very simple and you’ll get what you expect — this isn’t gourmet food, it’s just food. But, good food.
Hard to describe —- nothing fancy. If you want a straight forward meal with nothing fancy, you’ll be satisfied.
I had a steak half-​sub, lima beans, and fried (nice hot crinkle cut) — then some homemade banana cake which was delicious. Iced tea for dinner, coffee with the cake. .. the bill was $ 18.
Nice retired lady serving tables; God love her. .. all part of the ambiance, especially as she fought with the cashier to change the tape.
Almost forgot to mention the cigarette machine — empty with an inspection sticker from the mid 1990s!
Final note —- you just have CASH. .. . no credit cards, no checks.
Again — it’s fun and the food is just fine.
