Southern Living picks Bel-Loc
Bel-Loc diner is number one among Southern Living magazine’s favorite diners in its November issue. It even includes a recipe from owner Bill Doxanas for rice pudding.
While the magazine recommends getting breakfast (blueberry pancakes or raisin-bread French toast) at the Towson spot on Loch Raven Boulevard near the Beltway that opened in 1964, I really like going there for lunch. You can’t beat a triple-decker turkey club served by Miss Ruthie, a hon of a waitress.
I have fond memories of the Bel-Loc anyway. I grew up going there, but I wasn’t hanging out with the morning crowd. I mostly went in the late evening for caloric-busting (or alcohol-absorbing) burgers and fries after a night of partying with friends. Those were the days.

Are you really sure that Bel-Loc was their #1, instead of just the first listed among their 11 diners?

Hi, John, thanks for your comment. You may be right. I just assumed that since the magazine put a number next to five of the diners it was listing them in some sort of order. I should know better. Never assume!
I love the Bel-Loc. I am a sucker for retro diners, and it is nearby. I do love those blueberry pancakes, though I am intending to try a milkshake the next time. There is a newspaper article pasted by the door raving about 'em.
