There is no restaurant that quite manages to capture the local spirit of a small town than its diner. The homey atmosphere represented by the clatter of plates, the richness of comfort food, and the promise of an all-day breakfast creates the conditions for catching up with family, friends, and other loved ones. Here in Maryland, we have no shortage of diners to visit when you need a taste of a home-cooked meal. But for my money, there is none better than the Honey Bee Diner in Glen Burnie. This diner manages to make its retro decor unique, which is a remarkable feat in the diner game. And as the locals will tell you, the food – from the crab soup to the banana split – makes a perfect pairing for good conversation.

The Honey Bee Diner has been a community staple of Glen Burnie since 1952, serving up the delicious comfort food one expects from a diner with such a long legacy.
