Nautilus Diner-Restaurant Testimonials

So many choices, it's hard to decide what to order. But whatever I get is always good. Waitress was efficient, friendly, but didn't hover. Your order comes out of the kitchen quickly. Enjoy!

Portions are HUGE. Very good food. Extensive menu, anything you can think of and more. Great veggie burger. Great kids menu. Whenever we have guests, we go to this diner because there is something for everyone.

We went as a large group, and were seated rather quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and professional. Food was a simple fare, but very good.

Fun surroundings, good waitstaff. Brunch was tasty and the kids had a good time. Can't wait to try more desserts the next time we visit!

Efficient, clean, great selections of food and the desserts are fantastic. Would highly recommend to our family and friends. Very good prices.

Wow...what an amazing meal. Everything was so good. You get a lot for your money. Bakery was awesome as well. I would highly recommend this.

Great traditional diner experience. Good food, big portions, great looking dessert case. Unfortunately, I didn't save room!

Really good service! Yummy food made the way I like it. They were able to substitute for healthier eating choices for me.

Clean & a menu with variety - everything looked good! The French Toast was amazing, burgers were too. French fries were done perfectly. They have a bar & a bakery. We will totally stop there again.

I love this place! I've been coming here since I was in high school! This was the diner to visit when I was a teenager. Jocks and nerds alike ate here! The staff has always been great - putting up with some wild late night kids! I was a devoted theater geek back in high school and every cast party ended, (or began - depending on who you ask), at the Nautilus Diner-Restaurant! We love you!

I've been coming to the Nautilus Diner-Restaurant since I was in my 20s. I won't tell you how old I am now, but I can tell you it's been a long time. The food here is amazing and it's one of my favorite stops after a late night concert in Baltimore on our way home to Pennsylvania. However, I've been coming to the Nautilus Diner-Restaurant since I lived in the Timonium area and I still come there even though I no longer live anywhere near this diner.

Great place! Plenty of what you order. Real nice place to impress anyone who didn't know about real breakfast. Wise people don't go looking anymore; just wish we lived closer.

Excellent breakfast! Feta and spinach omelet cooked exactly as requested without butter. Fresh grapefruit half. The potatoes were crisp and the hash excellent. Waiter was polite and efficient, and the food delivered quickly. Great atmosphere and great menu options! Will definitely come back.

I have eaten there several times over the last couple of years. The place is very clean, the service is efficient, the food has been really good, and the desserts marvelous.

Last time we had the souvlaki and the gyro platters. They were both very good as expected, and we topped off the meal with tiramisu, which was divine.

The time before, we left the Nautilus Diner-Restaurant with a pair of chocolate milkshakes to go. They were not the largest, but the richness, creaminess, and density more than made up for it. Mine was one of the best shakes I have ever had in my life!

Great value for the entrees. Service was outstanding

Food is always great; from breakfast to dinner to snacks, they have it all. Staff is always very friendly. Bathrooms are spotless.

I meet with a group here every week. The food is always good and served quickly. The service is top notch. Thank you.

Love this place. Comfort food at its best. Friendly atmosphere, ample parking, attentive staff, tasty food, good price for the nice portions. Can get a little crowded on weekends, but the wait usually isn't that long. My go-to place.

Came around 1130 hours with 7 adults and 2 kids. Staff was friendly and accommodating to our group, food was delicious and made in a timely manner, bathrooms were clean, and everything was up to our expectations.

Great service. Servers are familiar with their repeat customers, which add to the personal touch. Great food choices from breakfast to desserts. All baked goods made on site and super fresh, some are even dangerously divine! Well-balanced meals with numerous healthy choices. Customers are so relaxed, we greet in the parking lot, give daily menu suggestions, and bid good evening! The surroundings are inviting, and for individuals needing handicapped access, it is perfect. The staff and friendly customers are eager to assist in any way necessary. It's also a very kid / family-friendly restaurant as well. You can even call in and order for pickup!

WE 💘 THIS PLACE. BEEN ON OUR LIST OF FAVORITES FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS!!!

Definitely the best crab cakes I’ve ever had!! Waitstaff was courteous and went out of their way to make our visit most enjoyable!! We will definitely eat at this wonderful establishment again!!!

If you are looking for a great dining experience, great food, great prices, great service, and a great variety (did I say great enough, lol), then the Nautilus Diner-Restaurant is the place for you, your whole family, work friends, kids...I love this place and you will too!!

We come here often, and today had a great breakfast. They are very busy on Sundays, but we got seated quickly.

Nice NJ-style diner in mid MD. Family run, always solid meal with low price.

The Nautilus Diner-Restaurant will leave you feeling very full. The service and staff are very pleasant. The food was good, and the portioning is a little on the bigger side. Shown is a ~13-ish dollar sandwich, which I got with substitute broccoli and fries. This is like, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Tons of meat, veggies, and bread. Overall, a 5-star experience.

Huge menu!

Everything I have had has been pretty good. And the gigantic menu ensures that everyone in your party will find something to their liking. The breakfast items in particular are some of the best in the Crofton area. Excellent omelets and a large selection of them. There's also a huge selection of desserts that are always on display to make sure you think about your whole meal before you even start. The service is typically good, and the extended weekend hours are quite a bonus for our sleepy little town!

Wonderful variety.

This place definitely has a huge menu; you can go there and get absolutely anything. The service was great, very friendly. The food is inexpensive and there's so much of it! Delicious food and they give you so much and desserts are great as well, a nice variety of desserts.

Great diner food and service!

Recommended by a "local" as a non-chain eatery, one of the few in the area, my family ate there last weekend. Despite the line at the door, high-turnover meant <5 minute waiting time and great service meant that we ordered, were served, and we ate in 45 minutes. Clean, well-run restaurant, friendly proprietor, great service, tasty food - of course we'll go back!

Great food with a retro look!

We stopped by on a busy Sunday morning. The place was packed! But we were quickly seated, and as we looked over the menu, we took a bit of time to look around and appreciate this retro look diner. Beautifully done to remind you of the stainless steel diners of the 50's and 60's. After we ordered, our food was quick to arrive. Exactly as ordered, served hot and fresh. My Challah French toast was wonderful, and my wife's eggs and potatoes were served in a really nice portion. I even got to share her home fries! While not the cheapest breakfast we'd ever had, the price was still quite fair, the portions very nice, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The staff was all quite friendly and service was excellent. Next trip this way, we'll stop again.

Food and service are good, I've been here numerous times, always for breakfast meetings. They are accommodating and have large menu options to choose from. Conveniently located right on rt 3 south, so easy to get in and out of whenever hunger strikes.

I love this diner. They have desserts that have your mouth watering the minute you walk in the door. The chrome is always meticulously clean and shining. The staff is friendly and the food is good-quality diner food. Definitely a must see if you are looking for a memorable place to eat in the Crofton area.

Absolutely a fantastic dining experience. This family owned diner has outstanding service, the food is wonderful. Be careful what you order because their portions are not by any stretch of the imagination those small skimpy ones you get.

Best diner I have ever been to. The staff was friendly and service was fast. We did not even have to ask for refills on our drinks as they were already there with refills. The food was excellent and the menu was huge. I would recommend that you stop in next time you're in the area. 5 stars!

My mom and I have been going to Nautilus Diner-Restaurant for a few years now whenever I'm in town. They always seem to have a table available no matter how packed it is. The menu is huge and the food is always great. The staff is super friendly and fast. Huge place but they've never lost quality.

Great food, amazing atmosphere, and reasonable pricing for the amount of food you get.

Omg, the best food ever!!! We go to a lot of diners, it's our thing. This has the best food you have ever had and the owner and staff are just as wonderful!!!!    

The service is outstanding, and the food is over the top. No seasoning is required, the meats are succulent and juicy. I dare you to try the beef short ribs. The vegetables are fresh, seasoned well, and never over-cooked. However, I must make you fully aware, that the deserts are off the chart. You can't leave and your meal would not be completed without eating some dessert or taking some with you for later. Bon appetite!😊

Good lasagna, excellent Moussaka and service from Jenny too.
