    We enjoyed lunch here on our way to Assateage…the servers were very sweet and attentive, food was fresh and delicious! We all ordered burgers, they were so sweet to make my son and I smash burgers while my husband had his thicker…all 3 were so fresh and delicious! Milkshakes were amazing as well!

    If you're a fan of the movie Runaway Bride, 1999, and you happen to be near Ocean City, Maryland, you MUST make this wonderful little restaurant/ice cream/soda fountain in Berlin, MD a stop during your travels. In the movie, there are multiple scenes actually shot in this charming throwback to the small-town diners of old. Look for it in the film as the Falcon Diner across the street from the Atlantic Hotel (also featured prominently in the production). The wait staff is very friendly and all work together to make sure everything is great. The food is very good diner fare, and you're not like

    Server was slow to start but was a little more attentive after her friend left. Food was delicious and fresh.

    Nice spot in downtown Berlin for a quick lunch. We came during a busy time during the Sunday farmers market but still were seated very promptly. Our server Reyna was very pleasant and took our order quickly and the food was ready very fast as well. We got a chicken cheesesteak and a turkey club. Both were very good and very reasonably priced by today’s standards. I also really appreciated the large quantity of grilled onions that came with the cheesesteak. One thing to keep in mind here is they stop serving breakfast at 11:00, so plan accordingly if that’s what you want.
