Such an interesting place, you never get bored looking at the many different artifacts hanging throughout the restaurant. The staff are extremely friendly and very prompt with bringing whatever you need. We ordered the bacon and cheddar pancakes and the steak omelet. Both were delicious but the star was the homemade home fries! I could eat those everyday! They give you huge portions, definitely worth every penny!
This place is absolutely one of my favorite places Ive ever been. Aside from the fact that the entire place is an artistic masterpiece. The food was literally the best breakfast Ive ever had. The French toast was absolutely PERFECT and the home fries left me wanting more. I could spend hours in here just looking at every little detail and piece of art in here its absolutely beautiful. Also our server Peirce was very friendly and VERY quick. All around one of the best experiences Ive ever had at a restaurant WELL worth the long wait.
Needed a place for breakfast near the JH campus on a visit.What a place!! Whomever created this place has a mind that is brimming with brilliance and chaos. 100,000 plus items artistically placed to create a fabulous space. The menu has a lovely variety with choices for everyone with everything priced as I would expect. Large portions of well prepared items. Our server was on it refilling the coffee. Sit at the counter or front room for the most visually stimulating experience. A must visit.
What an awesome Baltimore classic! It was an explosion of color, nostalgic toys, and Americana. We went for the decor, and I was amazed at how good their food was. The bacon milkshake was so unique and delicious. We got the Birds Nest sandwich and Cranberry Melt. Both were absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The greens were so fresh and the caramelized onions were done to perfection.
I love eating at Paper Moon. Their portions are generous and the food is incredible. If you go in a Sunday you’re going to wait but do it. It is well worth the wait. While you’re waiting you can check out all their art. It’s everywhere. The Pez dispenser collection has to be one of the biggest collections in the world!
Weve been coming here for 16 years and love this little quirky spot in Baltimore. This day when we visited, the dinner was impressively well-staffed (we are hearing so much about labor shortages but employees were everywhere on this day). It took quite a while for anyone to notice we were there even though we were the only ones at the host station, and we were never asked if we wanted to order drinks (we did) and we couldnt find a time to ask the server, who was very quick with our order. The check came when we were halfway through our meal. We werent there at closing time, they didnt seem understaffed, and not all the tables were full, so I didnt really understand why we were seemingly rushed through like we were just a table that needed turned asap. It didnt feel great. The omelets were good, the toast was hard, and I cant comment on the coffee because I never got to order any. Bottom line is the draw here is the atmosphere, and that wasnt that great on this one particular visit.
One of the few places where everything is good off the menu. The bread pudding and French toast are great highlights. The fun quirky decor and jazz music add a great atmosphere.
An eclectic diner with great breakfast. I got the brioche French toast with a side of bananas and a side of bacon. All tasted great. It was a bit expensive as the sides were a la carte and the meal ran me around $28 for just me. No cash accepted - just credit cards.
I’ve never tasted bread pudding as great as they serve it here! The jerk quesadillas were amazing also. For a Sunday it was a fairly short wait, parking in the lot was convenient and the staff was very friendly. All of the food was plated beautifully and the restaurant itself was very unique. Will def be returning!
This was a unique place… There is so much to look at and the food was great too. This place will not disappoint. It was a fun place to visit and eat at and will come back when we come back to Maryland. Hidden gem!!Everyone shares everything (staffing wise) so make sure you do your part and tip accordingly.
Very unique place. Unbelievable decorated. Awesome.
I have attempted to dine at this restaurant on 10/30/21 at 10:45 a.m under Johnson party of 3 this was my first time at the restaurant. After waiting 20 mins, we go to the hostess to be seated and she tells me I cant seat you without the third person. Im looking at the hostess in shock 😲. I ask why is that she doesnt respond to me. After not seeing my dad in so long I planned this day with him and it didnt go well. Sadly I was forced to find another spot where ai had to wait a hour before being seated. Thanks alot papermoon for nothing I wouldnt recommend it didnt have friendly feeling to me.
Absolutely delicious made from scratch food! We are never disappointed when we go here. I highly recommend the Spring Egg. Seriously great chow in an eclectic atmosphere, cool stuff to look at! Wait staff is attentive and super friendly too! Overall, I would highly recommend it if you are in Baltimore. Sorry but it blows Miss Shirleys away for a delicious menu and incredible dishes!
Shrimp and Grits Delicious I will be back The person attending out tables was the best
Great food and great service! I like how any server can help you, I feel like it makes the whole meal transition smoothly! My fav is the Spring Egg, and my partner likes the Pigs in a Blanket! Great environment and dont forget to get a milkshake!!!
Papermoon doesnt get enough credit for the quality of their food and the efficiency of their service. Great local spot with good people and a top-notch kitchen. Highly recommend!
Food portions are generous and quite good. We had the Landslide, Birds Nest, and the Turkey Powerhouse. Landslide is really good and unique. BBQ pork fries + cheese = delicious. Birds nest was pretty good too but Turkey Powerhouse was nothing special.Decor still remains super unique. We took lots of pictures and theres lots to look at. Papermoon is still a really solid choice after all these years.
Excellent omelettes that will really fill you up. Good pancakes too. I highly recommend getting a shake to go at the end (but share it!).
Great breakfast options, corky and eccentric decorations, the host was very nice, the only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because majority of the waiters lack customer service skills and are very bland, might visit your table once or twice, lack enthusiasm and have a stoic look. Otherwise, its worth every penny, this place is a total aesthetic worth the visit like a vintage diner with so much to look at a d zoom into while you’re eating.
Looks like this place is going downhill again. Needs a manager. Told 90 min wait although Empty tables every where. Told we could not sit at empty counter because it’s for individuals only. Poor experience. Will not be back.
A bit pricey. $4 for a cup of coffee and I wasnt even offered a refill.Plenty of FREE parking.Loved the quirky retro decor!
I always love a Paper Moon breakfast. I do love the breakfast, but the biggest highlight for me has to be the milkshake, which is better than most ice cream shops.
So many places since the pandemic have had spotty service and/or spotty food. Not Paper Moon. Both service and food has been top notch. Plus we like the eclectic and eccentric decor. Kind of a bohemian American Picker vibe.
I saw this restaurant on man vs food and wanted to have breakfast there when I recently visited Baltimore. I love the eclectic atmosphere and all the wackiness about the restaurant.The service was good and the food came out really quick and was very good. Id like to go back and try me things on the menu. I had the shrimp and grits with duck bacon. Very Good!
What an interesting place! Located in a Baltimore Suburb stands a whimsical doctor Seuss style restaurant. The restaurant is entirely decorated with all kinds of childhood memorabilia and bright colors. It seemed like everytime I looked I saw something new. The menu is diverse and has something for everyone. While the prices are a little high the food is delicious. The service is very quick.It is important to note that this restaurant is not good for large groups. The diner is very small and most tables are for 2-4 people. The group ahead of us had 5 people and were subject to a 20 minute wait while my group sat down immediately. There is also plenty of street parking and a parking lot right next to the diner. Definitely a neat place to have brunch!
Amazing breakfast. Thiccc milkshakes. Awesome wait staff, and great ambiance. Plenty of parking around.
This place is like a kitschy dream come true. The designers really nailed the aesthetic and from the second you lay eyes on this place you are drawn in. We arrived for brunch on a Saturday and it was very crowded but our wait time wasn’t too long. The red velvet pancakes are a little expensive but the flavor was so rich, I couldn’t finish it on my own so it’s perfect to share on that subject the restaurant has an added price for sharing meals so I’d be kind of sneaky if you want to. I had the omelet and it was very delicious with the home fries l. My friends sausage gravy with egg was divine! Definitely a place I would come back to with friends!
Great food...unique and very tasty breakfast dishes. Eclectic and odd ambience. Went with a group of 12 and the wait staff were very helpful and friendly. The food got to us quickly and was well made and delicious.
I LOVE this place! 💃 A MUST SEE! 😎 Mandy was GREAT and provided such great customer service! 🥰 Such a cool, trendy, nostalgic place for art lovers of all ages, races and backgrounds. I ordered Eggs Benedict & it was amazing! 🙌 I cant wait to visit again! 🥳
Whatever you do do not let the looks fool you. The food will put your entire body in a happy place.
Everything was good. I was able to walk in and get a table. Our waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and suggested things to try. Definitely will be back.
From the second you set foot on the grounds you are just taken back! The bright colors the use of mannequins and recycling of items to create the unique gardens is indescribable. Truly a work of art the gardens are.Step inside and the retro toys and bright colors remind you of days gone by. The atmosphere makes you feel right at home and the staff is unbelievably friendly and upbeat. You feel as if you have known them for ages.Bring your appetite because the portions are very large and the food is delicious. They make everything from scratch and it shows. You will not be disappointed this place is amazing.
The atmosphere is wonderful! Definitely worth the trip just to check out the decor but the food was great too! Awesome price and large portions!
Go here now!!!Super friendly staffClean environmentAnd the food is freaking amazing.Try the Crab Melt and thank me later 😏
The diner decor is very eclectic and fun. The staff and service is great with high energy and enthusiasm. However, the quality and execution of the diner food is a step down from what it use to be.
The sculptures are so creative and lend a fun atmosphere. They saw my dog was in the car and told me I could have him with me in the outside dining area and even brought him water. So nice! The food was great too. I especially loved the pickles that come with the meal.
Excellent as always, I have been going here for over 10 years . Well worth it .
The place had a great originality to it with the memorabilia toys throughout and unique outside decorations but the food was below average to me. I ordered French toast, home fries, and bacon. The French toast didnt have much flavor and the home fries had a sour taste to them. The bacon was the best part of my meal but also was covered in more grease than Im used to (kind of like what would happen if you didnt drain the excess oil off). On top of the food being below average to me, the prices are on the higher end.Unfortunately, this place didnt live up to the reviews I read and I wont be back.
If you havent been here yet you still have a lot of living to do
Great Food for an AMAZING price. Definitely a place to come whether you were just visiting or craving a snack. This place offers all types of foods from the wide range menu and everything seems to be so cheap. Not only is the food prices reasonable but you also gets so much food. The atmosphere and the workers are amazing, and I think the decorations are so cool and different. I’ve been coming there for two years and I’ll never stop.
I absolutely love this place. I went on a date and the food was so good and the meals are huge, the staff were so nice, and the decorations are so unique and fun!! Totally recommend!! 😍
Love the whole menu. Such an eccentric experience! They seat you as fast as they could and the service once seated is just as amazing as the food!
One of the most unique places you’ll ever eat in. The outside is amazing and then you go inside and it’s a bit of ‘information overload’ with so many incredible and unique things.Be sure to also go to the bathroom and see the pez dispensers lining the walls and the match cars on the ceiling!As 1 person I had no issue grabbing a table. The wait for 2+ though was around a half hour.
This is such a unique place! My coffee and omelette was delicious. I struggled with them not having milk alternatives or many gluten free options (I love breakfast food and this is something I look out for).
A creative atmosphere with unique treasures to see and take pictures.. The food was delicious. The crab cakes was all crab NO FILLERS...A must try No carry out ..
Amazing food and atmosphere…. Great service too… What more can one ask?
Wonderful food and service. The staff seemed to all be really happy working there as well.
Always find something odd and new in the decor that we did not notice last time.
Great food for a good price, The decor was quite interesting and fast service. Awesome place overall will come back.
This is an astounding visual experience. The entire diner is decorated everywhere with super hero figurines, RC airplanes, Pez dispensers and other memorabilia of childhood. The food was excellent for standard comfort fair and the portions are large. Service was friendly and fast. Paper Moon had a strong, positive Baltimore vibe to it. Ive added this to my must experience list for persons visiting the city.
Be ready for a very overstimulating environment but once acclimated you wont regret going. Not only was my bunless burger cooked to perfection and was juicy, but you will find yourself lost in the millions of intricate figurines and artwork. Youll be brought back to your childhood with the toys and action figures. See if you can locate all the baby figurines. The artist truly planned out an amazing space. Its controlled chaos!
Wonderful restaurant very friendly personnel adorable Surroundings. The kids had a blast and the adults had some fond memories of toys from the past 😀
Food was EXCELLENT, however, the server did not commit to serving our table and orders were misconstrued. Charged for items we were not aware of even though requested something different. In addition, our server went missing in action for about 30 minutes which delayed our food delivery to table at the end and our check.
If you are a visual person and you like toys of all kinds, come and enjoy eating and watching toys!Awesome collection and variety of toy. I didnt want to leave the place, although staying alone at night would be terrifying, especially if Chucky is there or Annabelle 🤡🧟♀️🧟♂️🤣🤣They have:♨️The best Bacon MilkShake and the variety of pancakes!♨️You can eat your Brunch here.♨️ Amazing and super fast attention.
Food and service? ...wonderful. My date? ...not so much. Lol
Found this place by accident....stumbled onto it after visiting the art museum. The interior is all kitsch and actually pretty interesting. So many toys and things I remember from being a kid. The food was good and the person who took my order and brought my food was engaging and helpful—gave me plenty of time and space. No complaints. I’d bring friends here for a fun meal with a nostalgic twist.
Everyrhing was fantastic.The food was great and very reasonably priced.We were very pleased with service as well.The only thing I could ask for would be some sort of alcohol menu.
The food was good and so was the service. Definitely a unique environment
Great service, great people, and the freshest food! This place is both visually and physically appetizing! The entrance is a room with glass cases for walls filled with character pez. The inside looks like an I-Spy book and looking at it makes it seem like the food comes in a flash. All the waiters share tips and help everyone so your drink is never empty. Nothing on the menu is a bad choice!
Great food, large portions. fun atmosphere ((always take my out-of-state guests here), and excellent service.
Went to this Baltimore Classic today. The food was amazing along with the old school decor. I had a great experience here. I had the French Toast w/ Eggs and a Peanut Butter madness shake. Definitely check this place out if you are in Baltimore
Great food Great atmosphère
Paper Moon has great customer service. The food is nice but it shouldnt be at that high of price point.
Its a unique shot, very visually stimulating and artsy. Well lite area and friendly service. The food was good.
This is one of my favorite, “off the beaten path” places in Baltimore. With breakfast to rival, even surpass the DDD famous Miss Shirleys, The Paper Moon is a must visit. It’s quirky, cluttered with toys from the 70s and 80s (my childhood! YAY!) and maybe even a little overwhelming decoration-wise, but the real star here is the outstanding food, service and PEOPLE.Never having had a bad meal or service here, the French Toast Bananas Foster is simply my favorite thing on the menu, and the portion is just perfect. You’ll find yourself full, while still wanting more.Plenty of food for the non-carnivore as well, so you can be vegan and eat here guilt free.The staff is always upbeat, smiling, and have found just that right level of being attentive, but not bugging you every 2.8 minutes while you are chewing.If you are visiting Inner Harbor, an Os or Ravens game, or just looking for something new, find your way over to The Paper Moon for a foodie experience you’ll rave about.
The food was great and the atmosphere / decor is cool, unique and quirky. I got the cheese steak and onion rings and the serving size was well over what I expected. All in all I cant complain one bit about this diner and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Baltimore.
Wonderful experience, is as impressive as it was when it first opened. Im glad this restaurant has been able to endure thru the years 🙌. It is as memorable as it was when i first went in the 1970s, now I take my granddaughters, they really enjoy the food and of course the ambiance 🤗
Good Food, service, though a little pricey. $17.43, before tip, for multi grain toast, bacon, homefries & scrambled eggs with goat cheese & coffee. But really good food and I LOVE the atmosphere! Its like eating in a Really Cool museum!
Decent food, little pricey. Cool atmosphere, nice waiters/waitresses. Fun to play Ispy
What a find! The decor is wonderfully over the top. The menu is a tome, filled with lots of good options. Our server was friendly. The food when it arrived was plentiful and delicious. I am looking forward to a return trip.
The food was so good. I loved it
Very funky spot a short walk from Johns Hopkins. At their twice (once for breakfast, and once for dinner). The decor is wild, with action figures and Legos covering every inch of space. Staff is very nice, and so it just has a very fun vibe. For breakfast I got a sausage egg and cheese on whole wheat toast. A very big sandwich for sure, though pretty steep at $9. At dinner I had a chicken sandwich with prosciutto and mango chutney. It was a little too sweet because of the chutney, but otherwise well prepared and fries were good. Also had a peppermint milkshake that was excellent Definitely a good local spot for a relaxed and tasty meal.
Today was my first visit to Papermoon Diner. It was the most unique strange interesting looking diner I ever went to. My niece got a sandwich and fries and enjoyed her lunch. I was in the mood for ice cream and they had an ice cream that came with a brownie and whipped cream. The brownie was still warm and the warmth of the brownie mixed with the cold of ice cream was really enjoyable..
I’ve gotten breakfast to go here twice now. This place is delicious! Everything is cooked fresh and tastes delicious when I get it back to the house. The staff have been super friendly both over the phone and when we pick up! I will definitely be getting food here whenever I visited Baltimore.
Paper Moon has always been one of my favorite places to go to eat. The restaurant is a nice place to have good conversation even maybe meet interesting people while you feast on some good food. I will admit that I havent been to this place in a while so I thought to check it out on Saint Patricks day and also hang out with some good friends of mine. I always love coming to this place to check out the abstract art or just about anything they create from old movies, video games or anything thats nostalgic made into art. Definitely check it out !!!!
Absolutely delicious. Server was extremely attentive as were the other servers. When drinks were low, someone came over right away and asked if we needed a refill. Food tasted freshly made. I had the monte cristo. Highly recommend!! Was so good, got a dessert to go and I usually never get desserts!!
