Quite possibly the best breakfast quesadilla I've had in my entire life. Also, the smarty omelette bangs.

Went Sunday morning during brunch hours. Waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Cute little 2 person table snuggled in all the colorful and bright decor throughout the entire restaurant. Forgot to take pictures but we ordered the egg which, shrimp omlette, and grits-! Super cheesy delicious grits. Honestly I will order the entre next time! The omelete was more like eggs and shrimp plated together. The coffee was mediocre. It's a cute little spot for brunch

Such a fun and unique spot. It feels like eating inside a toy museum! Everywhere you look there’s something quirky and nostalgic to see. We loved exploring all the curated toy exhibits while we waited for our food. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and just as memorable as the atmosphere.

Definitely a must-visit if you love great food with a side of creativity and nostalgia! 🍳🧸✨

Fells Point Diner may only exist in Barry Levinson`s 1982 film, Diner, but these locations are real! Celebrate the day by watching this film and visiting some of these iconic Baltimore diners!

PaperMoon Diner 🌙

Perhaps Baltimore’s most eclectic restaurant, papermoondiner doesn’t disappoint! From mannequins all around the property to the ceiling covered with treasures to bathrooms filled with toy cars, papermoondiner is truly a unique experience to behold. I tried their frozen hot chocolate milkshake and a few appetizers before wandering around the restaurant trying to find all of its wacky details. If you go, be aware of the sensory overload and say hello to all the mannequins just chilling on your way in and way out!
