Mountain View Diner: A Charming Retreat for Breakfast and Beyond

We are from New York so Mom and I love diners. We were shopping at Boscov and asked for a local place to eat. The Mountain View diner came highly recommended. The atmosphere is transcending back to the 50’s which I love. Everyone talks to you the staff, the customers just a nice friendly place. The service is warm, the talk to you share stories but efficient as well. They are very attentive. The food s served in large portions at reasonable prices and very good. I can’t say enough about this place. You have to go if you’re in Frederick, MD.

Happened to spend a week in Frederick one night. Had to eat breakfast somewhere, and I patronize 'mom and pop' places where available. This place, as it turned out, was a pretty large place with lots of seating capacity. The breakfast menu was large, and you get plenty to eat for the price. I got a 'special' with two slabs of french toast, two eggs, sausage, potatoes and lots of bacon for 10.95, and every bit of it was great.....'special' indeed!! It has a retro feel to it, as the place has old diner-type seating, and 50-s / 60's decor which was cool. Could be a Route 66 type of place with no trouble. My waitress was a little crabby at first, but she seemed to mellow as we went on. if you go, note the interior ceiling beams, which are engraved with songs & artists of oldies rock!! Would go back for sure if I'm ever stuck in Frederick MD again......

This is the best diner we’ve been to in years! The staff are out of this world and we loved how incredibly family-oriented they are. The food was delicious! 10/10 recommend

Great old school diner with a fun retro atmosphere. Everyone that works here was super nice and upbeat and they love to give suggestions if you need them. we shared the French toast because one of their specialties and it was really good. I didn’t really care for the butter. It was served with. I don’t think it was butter. It was some sort of margarine or something. I think maybe if they had butter, I would ask for that instead, but otherwise my omelette and my partners liver were sandwich were really good. We ate everything.

Good family diner with a bit of a retro flare. Had the breakfast special that included 2 eggs, toast home fries, sausage, bacon and ham. The meats are clearly local and had FABULOUS flavor. The ham is smoky and tender. I recommend the breakfast meats!

My boyfriend and I were on our way home from visiting family and stopped here for lunch. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and the decor is like stepping back in time to the 50s. The menu is huge and offers many different types of food including Greek, Italian and traditional American comfort foods. Peter was our server and was polite and attentive. He recommended the Moussaka and I'm so glad he did! My boyfriend had the meatloaf sandwich and said it was delicious. The portions were more than generous so come hungry. It's a shame that we live about 3 hours away but anytime we're traveling this way we'll stop in for a delicious meal.

Best diner around for breakfast and lunch!! Food still tastes the same 20 years later. Service staff are always super kind and helpful. Lots of options, seating inside and parking outside.

Take a step back in time for a real diner experience at the Mountain View! Worth driving a few extra minutes off the highway for some serious comfort food. The menu - in true diner style - is enormous. Greek, Italian, burgers and fries - it has it all. And a HUGE pie case full of all kinds of cheesecakes and pies, not that we could even consider dessert after these huge portions. Every single dish was a winner - from the chicken noodle soup to the extra delicious spaghetti sauce. Perfection!
