This place has such a unique atmosphere that feels weird and unique but loved it. The food was amazing! I got the breakfast sandwhich with the French toast as the bread and it was delicious! Definitely recommend. One of the best breakfast spots in Baltimore for sure!

I used to eat here almost daily back in the mid-90's when I was a MICA student... it doesn't seem like much has changed, and that's a good thing! The menu has become more interesting, the staff more friendly, and the decor has only become more... MORE. It was always my go-to place to take people who were visiting town. Plus, it's in walking distance to the BMA. Like anywhere you eat out, there's a chance you'll get something that isn't up to par, but they're easy going if there's a problem. I especially recommend breakfast but check first - they can get BUSY!

Love this cool, interesting diner. Decor is funny with lots of doo dads, trinkets, & baby doll heads; loved the Pez dispensers in the entry way. Breakfast was tasty with orange marmalade spread pancake stacker, with egg, ham, and havarti cheese stuffed in the middle.

I have *loved* this place since 1994, when they opened !! They improve every year: more eclectic decor, better food, consistently wonderful atmosphere. Truly an original & unique place to visit, and my favorite restaurant for weekend brunch, or after a visit to the BMA. Hope to return soon!

This is a must-see if you're traveling in the Baltimore area. It's like Pee Wee's Playhouse on steroids and the food is really good. Big menu and large portions so bring your appetite. Friendly staff and free parking. I came for breakfast on the 4th of July and there was no wait, but it's known to be packed during peak hours. No reservations so plan accordingly.

It would be easy to get distracted from the atmosphere and miss emphasizing the food. Yes, this place is so quirky, artful, and full of pop/toy history that it can be hard to focus on a conversation. But the food at PaperMoon Diner deserves is what elevates this place from an art museum of pop culture to one of the best diners on the East Coast. Every dish I’ve ever had has been wonderful, special highlights are the sausage gravy and brioche, pigs in a blanket, and the shrimp and grits. PaperMoon is a must stop for us any time we’re in Baltimore.

This place is like Baltimore in one diner. Super friendly people, great food, and some pretty weird decor, they have just about every figurine, toy, sticker, you have ever seen. Highly recommend going here for breakfast. Definitely come hungry because the portions are huge! You might have to wait but it goes quick.

Always a fantastic place to visit. Quintessentially Baltimore vibes, and all of the food is delicious. Definitely try one of their milkshakes and the bread pudding! The espresso BBQ pork is also amazing. I always try to bring first-time visitors to Baltimore here because it's so fun and unique, and it seems like everyone can always find something they like on the menu regardless of tastes and dietary restrictions. Love love love this place!

My 2nd time for brunch with friends and I love the place even more. Swallowed up as usual by all the eye candy, 40'5, 50's 60's kitsch, and the PEZ collection just make me happy as hell. Good coffee, a must for me, friendly wait staff, consistently good food. Even with the bluster of a full house you can have an intimate conversation at your table. And why not go where everyone has a smile on their face?

This place is so cool and funky! It’s so unique and so much to look at! Speedy and friendly service here! I wanted to tried something different, so I got the Espresso BBQ Tofu Wrap. Delicious but a little small. Need to add a side next time. My husband got the Crab Melt, which he enjoyed.

PaperMoon Diner is a true Baltimore fixture—great food paired with an atmosphere that channels the quirky sensibilities of John Waters. Packed with discarded toys and offbeat memorabilia, it’s unmistakably its own thing.

This spot is different as hell 😂 not your normal diner at all. The decor is straight up crazy — stuff everywhere you look, hanging from the ceiling, walls packed out… you just gotta see it for yourself. Food was solid. I got the blue cheese bacon Angus burger medium rare with fries — juicy, cooked right, good flavor. Not even gonna lie I started eating it before I took a pic 😂. The BBQ wrap was good too, and the peanut butter milkshake was fire — thick and actually tastes like peanut butter. Service was on point. Server stayed on top of everything and got everything right, no issues. Overall, cool place to check out. Not overhyped, just a unique spot with good food and a wild setup. Definitely worth pulling up at least once.

The decor is worth the visit. The people who designed this place really went all out with the decoration and pop culture easter eggs as a labor of love. The food almost feels peripheral but it isn't bad. I had a crab omelette and it was decent. I recommend mixing the crab which is sitting underneath with the egg since the egg is plain and the crab is salty. Not a fan of the potatoes.

This place is absolutely a MUST SEE and eat at in Baltimore. If you like super funky decor like old toys, PEZ dispensers, etc, you will love this place. My cousin and I went on Easter Sunday for breakfast. I had the breakfast quesadilla and she had an omelette and they were both delicious and so huge we took leftovers with us. Super friendly staff and photo ops galore.

I came with my cousin from Atlanta just to show you off! I sadly don't recall our servers name, but they were a delight. They had kind of a mullet/Mohawk thing going on and lovely earrings.i paused outside to smoke and just as I was dropping off my butt in the butt place, They came running to catch me because I forgot my purple witch hat! The bread pudding was a sin. the server was a saint. I'll see you at the moon.

On a Wednesday morning we drove to Remington to have breakfast at Papermoon Diner, a brightly painted local institution filled with toys and eclectic artwork. The restaurant was opened in 1994 by a Korean immigrant who collaborated with an art school friend to decorate the interior with their collections of toys and knickknacks. Over the years customers have contributed their own items and many of the existing ones have been stolen. The owner seems to have a predilection for naked dolls and mannequins which are clustered together in various states of dismemberment. The kids were somewhat creeped out by this but I thought it was quite entertaining. I do appreciate this particular aspect of Americana in which diners are festooned with memorabilia and idiosyncratic decor. Of course the main reason we were there was to eat and Papermoon Diner provided us with generous portions of excellent breakfast food.

Happy 27th to us!!! The PaperMoon Diner has been on our bucket list and I was thrilled to finally check it off while in town for a wedding. The portions were LARGE. We each ordered the omelets but they were mostly egg. Would like to try something else if we make it back again. The side of greens with dressing were a nice side but the service and atmosphere are what really won us over.

It’s like having lunch in a museum. The artistic creations are just awesome. It’s pure nostalgia, how could you go in and not smile? Then there’s the staff. They were all so kind and seemed very happy. The service was fantastic. And the food? It was great! Better than expected, even though the menu describes what you’re getting. The cooks…mwah…chefs kiss. Thank you for such an amazing lunch, we’ll be back.

I went here this past August 2025, its December now but I'm still thinking about this restaurant. The decor is the best part, but the menu is amazing, the staff and the food itself made the entire experience so much fun. It was like I was eating in a whimsical story book.

Went Sunday morning during brunch hours. Waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Cute little 2 person table snuggled in all the colorful and bright decor throughout the entire restaurant. Forgot to take pictures but we ordered the egg which, shrimp omlette, and grits-! Super cheesy delicious grits. Honestly I will order the entre next time! The omelete was more like eggs and shrimp plated together. The coffee was mediocre. It's a cute little spot for brunch

Such a fun and unique spot. It feels like eating inside a toy museum! Everywhere you look there’s something quirky and nostalgic to see. We loved exploring all the curated toy exhibits while we waited for our food. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and just as memorable as the atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit if you love great food with a side of creativity and nostalgia! 🍳🧸✨

This eclectic place is jammed pack with figurines, signs & memorabilia that will keep your eye wandering the entire time yet it's so clean, neat & organized! I will be back!

Papermoon Diner is one of the most unique spots in Baltimore. The outside is wild and colorful, and the inside is packed with toys, dolls, action figures, and over-the-top decor that makes it feel like an art installation-meets-retro diner. I had the Whole Lotta Burger and sweet potato fries, both were delicious. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Plenty of parking across the street, great service, and just an all-around fun, funky place to grab a bite. Definitely worth a visit if you want good food in a totally unforgettable setting!

The food is absolutely delicious, servings are generous, and it was presented in a way that made it even look delicious. The Southern Love burger was almost more than I could eat because we also got the triple appetizer. My friend got a cheese quesadilla, and she said it was delicious. We both thought the fries were amazing. Milkshakes were also great! We both took home leftovers. The staff are wonderful and they all work together to give excellent service.

This is unlike any other diner you have been to. Like most diners, there are a ton of options, but the food is slightly more upscale and not a greasy spoon situation. It's more expensive than a typical roadside diner, but you get what you pay for. Our favorites are the omelets. They are huge and fluffy and packed. The sandwiches are also substantial, and everyone took half home. We had the jerk chicken wrap and the honey crisp chicken sandwich. Really, everything on the menu is done right. We always get a milkshake for the road at the end of the meal. They are smaller than a typical diner milkshake, but they have the perfect consistency and taste great. While the food is amazing, it's not the biggest draw and makes this diner unique. The atmosphere is like stepping into a childhood flashback. Every direction you look, regardless of where you sit, there are thousands of items that bring you back. Everyone can put their phones away and just look at the things that captured the attention and imagination of their parents and grandparents. There are tons of more recent items being added all the time so you can see the past and future collide. Papermoon is a Baltimore treasure that anyone visiting should experience.

From the moment you step onto the property of PaperMoon diner, you will be entertained, and exponentially happier! The decor is straight from a 90s/2000s kids childhood bedroom! The vestibule is decorated with every pez dispenser imaginable, along with other neat old/vintage toy collages and art. My husband and I had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, which would normally dampen my experience. However, because of the amazing pez collection, we got to pass the time playing a game where we called out a category like “sports,” or “cartoon characters from the 90s” and tried to point to a pez that fit the category first! It was such a fun and silly way to pass the time! Definitely got our date off to a great start!!! Inside was much of the same, where staring into the same corner for 5 seconds will elicit 15 different nostalgic, positive emotional responses! The collages, installations, and “entertainingly chaotic ,” decor really make for a jubilant visit! The staff were super cool, chill, and kind, and it was clear to me that they all work well together, and for each other to get the job done. We were approached by 3 different waiters during our visit, so we never felt like we were waiting too long if we needed something. The food was AMAZING. I am a huge diner gal (shoutout to my jersey roots!) so when I walk into a diner here, I am extra scrupulous over the food. PaperMoon did NOT disappoint. The food came quick, and it was so tasty. I am good at self control, but I ate until I was BEYOND full, and still had an entire chocolate chip pancake to take home. Everything about the PaperMoon Diner experience was 5 stars for me. I can’t wait to visit again!

First time this place, I came for breakfast and got the chocolate chips pancakes. The decor in this place is interesting/intriguing—— a trip back in time on decades—-if you are 40+ the items on the walls will activate a lot of childhood memories. The other aspect of the decoration, I will leave it for you to experience yourself. Check that out!

Papermoon is definitely a place to check out if you're in Baltimore. The decor is wild in the best of ways; it's like one of those seeing eye books. The menu has something for everyone, and the omelet I had was really good! It's also fairly priced.

Whether you’re looking for a unique place to bring guests from out of town, you want to normalize no eye contact during a first date, or you want the nostalgic weekend diner experience - there is no shortage of things to look at on the menu and the walls. With The gargantuan collection of vintage dolls, pink ponies, action figures and fishnet adorned trinkets one might think they would be covered in dust and kitchen grime but they appear to keep things freshly painted and quite clean as well. If you’re in the long femur club, we do not recommend sitting at the bar.

This place has an incredibly unique atmosphere that won us over before we even walked in the door. We went for breakfast and the menu had something for everyone. There were so many options we'll have to visit multiple times to try everything we want to try. Service were fast, friendly, and incredibly responsive. Really glad our local friends brought us here! (Easy parking too, by the way, with a free lot just across the street for customers. That's always a plus.)

The most interesting brunch spot in Maryland. They serve breakfast and dinner type food all day. The servers share tables, in that you do not have a particular waitress but all the staff with help and serve all the tables as they bop around. Portions are huge and bursting with fun flavors. My favorites are the french toast, burgers or the TV dinners.

Great interesting restaurant! It is more of brunch place than dinner, but it was still good. I had a southern style omelet, and i really liked it. It had avocado, corn, and tomatoes like salsa. It was really good. Bread was also really good so is the salad. The restaurant itself is filled with unique vintage items all over the place. Interesting. I recommend this place if you want something casual place but with uniqueness. They have their own designated parking lot

Took my step dad, Bill, fir a change in scenery. He's 80 and has kidney failure. The staff offered to let us come in a different way so he would not have to walk up the few steps to get in. They gave us priority seating and we're so kind and accommodating. BILL ENJOYED looking around at all tye different items and signs posted on every wall and ceiling of PaperMoon. It was great conversation and I loved seeing real joy in his eyes. It was the one year ann I versaru of our Mom, his wife's passing. We needed this reasatraunt and the kind way we were treated by the staff. Oh and the food is great too!

This has been one of my favorite places to come to for over a decade now. It's the quirky, eclectic ambiance of the entire place. Inside and out. Surrounded by unique artful mannequins(you gotta see it for yourself) and in the summer, the beautiful plants and vines become an artful addition to the beauty of the decor of the brightly colored happy place. And that's just the outside decor. Step in and be memorized and transferred to all the memories of being a child. Regardless of whether you are old or young you will be in awe of all the toys, and memorabilia that is uniquely placed making the interior a time capsule museum. The service is always excellent. Every single server is warm, welcoming, attentive and always has a smile. To keep things moving it's not one designated server, it's a rotation of whoever is available and they are prompt and on everything. Whether it is seating you, waiting on you for your order, bringing your food, etc, everyone is ON IT! I generally get the Shrimp &Grits with Tasso sauce which has pork in it. I added caramelized onions which gave this dish a sweet and savory, that was absolutely amazing. Shrimp cooked to perfection. Some places the shrimp is overcooked and ends up being a bit rubbery. Not here! The flavors come together in a symphony of wonderfulness in your mouth! Just🤌🏾 pure perfection. For dessert I generally get the delicious bread pudding. It comes with a buttery caramel sauce and a whipped cream that must be made in house. It's so WONDERFUL. And the portion is big enough to share, although you may not want to. If you are new to Baltimore you have to make a stop here to really taste this delicious food and experience this for yourself. The prices are reasonable considering you can tell you are getting good ingredients cooked by someone who loves feeding others and must love food themselves. Bring the whole family or make it a date night, girls night out, a stop for the guys, etc. Anytime is the right time for The PaperMoon Diner! Bon appetit!!

It is covered in toys from the 60's70's80's and 90s. The food here is amazing. You get huge portions, and the staff members are great. The shrimp and grits are my favorite. If you stop for lunch or dinner, the meat loaf will absolutely fill you up.

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.

- Unique, abstract restaurants with savory food and prime service. There is so much to see, explore and discover. - I ate by David Bowie’s poster, that was exiting. - We saw a Kobe Bryant’s Lego by the Bar: rest in peace King. Can you spot it? - The Omelette we had were savory, satisfying and delicious 😋. Perfect brunch at 6pm… Food portions are satisfying. The Cocoa Milk shake was delish. - Service was fast, and hostesses were great. I highly recommend and I’m coming back!!!

The decor is oddly eclectic. They take old toys and objects and make them into some pretty eye-catching pieces. Rhe food is awesome, and even though they are ALWAYS full, service is pretty fast. They finally have a parking lot across the street for patrons. That helps a lot because parking used to be a problem

I went regularly to this unique little restaurant 25+ years ago, when I was much younger and worked in the area. So, when I was back in town with my family, I was excited to hear that it was still in business! I knew that we had to go for a fun dining experience. It didn't let me down and we all enjoyed the visit. Prices of course increased. But the quality and service were still top notch. They have a large menu selection and portions are plentiful. We will absolutely return when we visit the area again.

음식 맛있어요! 오무라이스도 팔고, 다진 고기위에 감자전올린 셀러드도 맛있고 에그 베네딕트는 무난? 했어요. 인테리어가 진짜 독특해요 ㅋㅋ 아기자기한 인테리어 좋아하는 분은 추천드려요 천장위에 인형 달려있고 테이블마다 인테리어 소품 한 100개는 주변에 있어요. 주차 자리 넓어요

Kind of a weird but oddly cool place to eat. The staff was attentive and polite. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried the Pancake Stacker that consisted of a pancake, orange marmalade, fried ham, havarti cheese, egg, and another pancake. It was delicious. Also had a side of potatoes and they were good as well. My son had some pancakes. We left full. I thought the prices were reasonable for what you got.

Super cool decorations with lots of fun and crazy things to discover. Great food as well. I highly recommend a milkshake. They're nice and thick and really delicious

What a unique experience this place is! Every single person out there should definitely give this place a try at least once. Food is very good and there's definitely something there for everybody. But the atmosphere is absolutely unbelievable. Do yourself a favor and make a trip there!

I loved the food! Very American style! They have vegetarian options like beyond burgers and salads. Kitsch decoration, not for everybody's taste but certainly it captures your attention. The employees are very attentive and receive you with a smile.

A Baltimore institution. Huge variety of food options & diets (good vegetarian selection) for every meal, awesome old school milkshakes. Interior can be distracting for newbies.

My bf loves coming here! This time we brought my adult children for their first time. I had the crispy chicken wrap, son got the huge pile of chicken tenders and really enjoyed them. My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich and actually ate almost all of it which never happens, it must have been good! Mom got the portable wrap and my bf got the montecristo sandwich which was on powdered sugar dusted French toast and he ate every bite as well! We even indulged in some milkshakes! Kaptain Krunch which brought out the kid in me. Others got an espresso and the peanut butter. Fun and delicious evening out! Love looking at all the nostalgia! Think we are going again this weekend!

I was immediately drawn by the quirky nature just from the outside look, and the inside decor was even more overwhelming at first! But it was a cool place to check out. I ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich, and it was served hot after a couple of minutes. Savory ham with sweet syrup, a very interesting treat for the morning!

A wacky wonderful restaurant. Full of "junk" made into quirky and cool grassroots style art/atmosphere. Food was unexpectedly awesome. They are busy! Especially on Saturday mornings. Expect to wait a long time and to not have frequent visits from servers. Which I don't mind, it's worth it. Also, I ordered a side of sausage and I've never had better! I also had the cream stuffed French toast and a crab melt. All great!

You could spend days just checking out all the fun items both inside and out. Overwhelming, but it works. It helps that the food is fantastic! We went for breakfast and enjoy every bite of my French toast on vanilla custard! If you live nearby and have friends come to town, take them here for a truly unique experience!

This place has to be seen to get the full effect. Parking is just across the street from the restaurant, staff were great, wait time was doable, food was worth the wait. If you haven't been here before, you are in for a treat. The food is so creative, that you will have trouble deciding on what you want to eat. I have never been disappointed here.

Got the espresso pulled pork sandwich. It was amazing and I couldn't help but crush the whole thing quickly. The richness of flavor and sweetness was on point. Sweet potato fries were good but needed alittle salt at the table. The cereal infused milkshakes were worth the abuse as a very lactose-intolerant individual. Bring lactaid.

What we offer

The Art Behind the Moon

Inside Papermoon Diner, every inch tells a story—thanks to the artistic vision of David Briskie, a MICA-trained sculptor. For over 25 years, Briskie has filled the walls with vintage objects, antiques, and offbeat finds, transforming the space into a living art installation.

What began as a simple diner became an iconic Baltimore landmark when owner Un Kim took over in 1994 and welcomed Briskie’s creative transformation.

Come see the art in person—or explore the story behind the man who made it all happen.
