The Broadway Diner is located in Baltimore and named after the famous street in New York that hosts stage performances. But BD recieved its claim to fame from California in the guise of the legendary restaurateur, Guy Fieri. The Broadway Diner became one of the stops which the big media chef made on his "Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives" show in 2009. Ever since, pictures of Fieri adorn the walls and webpage of this notable diner. While Fieri's praise of the diner has formed the backbone of its marketing ever since, it was not undeserved. The menu is expansive, containing everything from goulash to salmon and everything in between - all delicious. But don't worry, if you want to stop in for a late-night bite, Broadway still serves the classics: all-day breakfast and burgers.
