“Best Mexican food around. Friendly staff always know your name and preferences! Monday night trivia is the best!!“

“Love the atmosphere. The band was pretty good. Great food options and entertainment. Some of the menu items have nuts added which seem unnecessary. They should consider removing the nuts from the lobster dish.“

“Drinks and atmosphere are incredible….. bar stools are awful though.“

“Amazing prices on all beverages. Always stocked and never gives any issues. Highly recommended as all places around charge significantly higher prices. The shop itself could use a remodeling, but I can forgive that as the prices make it worth it.

Parking: Just a small parking lot with 3 or 4 spots. You can park on the street across the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs and there is a ramp to get in. It will be difficult to maneuver around inside as it is a small store with limited room.“

“We stayed for one night at the Marriott Owings Mill and decided to try The Tillery which is located in the hotel. The hotel was wonderful and we had a great meal at the Tillery. We had the putine for an appetizer and the branzino for our entree. It was exceptional. Our daughter had crab cakes which she throughly enjoyed. We ended with chocolate lava cake which was delicious! Shawanna provided outstanding service and all of her recommendations were spot on. The restaurant is lucky to have her. Would definitely recommend this establishment to others.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Walrus as usual. Their shucking raw bar is the best. Seafood is always fresh and delicious. Their staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Aaron was no exception. We went for Chesapeake Oyster week and half price on raw bar Tuesday so we enjoyed a great meal at a fantastic price. Highly recommend, going back real soon.“

“I was lucky enough to come here for an event hosted by Brian Wee. The atmosphere & ambiance was nice and relaxed. That was the best pizza I have had in a long time! 💕 I am from TN, but if I ever come back to this area I will definitely come back!“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“food is ok. have had better. very loud salsa music the whole time. I,m sure thats for the kitchen help to enjoy. no one else liked it. had to scream to talk to my friend the whole time. won't go back. I don't like to pay 130 for lunch and not be able to enjoy it. thats just stupid.“

“Great food and great drink. Service was awesome“

“I usually try to stop here when passing through BWI, because the cocktails are among some of the best I've had. My most recent visit was no exception as far as my drink (the Baltimore Cosmo) was concerned, but it was especially nice because the bartender, Khadijah, was very friendly and a good conversationalist. She helped the wait for my flight pass quickly!“

“Another successful event held at Bushel and a Peck. This time we were in their smaller private room. They also have a fantastic, large private dining area, as well as outdoor seating. I highly recommend them if you are looking to book a private party or corporate event. Or just a date night or client meeting. The staff is great, the venue is beautiful and the food is amazing.“

“I haven’t been here in years, in my neighborhood. I had a great time with my friends. The staff was attentive and helpful. The happy hour was enjoyable good food and drinks 🍹,I’m sure the dinner menu is good. The host of the show was funny, they acknowledged the people celebrating 🥳 their birthdays with a dance off! The band was awesome 🤩, and the 🎤 singing was surely a mood! The band starts at dinner time we were there for 4 hours, it was full. We left to allow others to be seated and enjoy their evening!!💯🎶😊“

“Taylor was working the bar and was absolutely phenomenal! We had been connecting at multiple airports for this trip and this was the BEST service we have received the whole trip. Taylor was attentive and so friendly. It was busy during our visit, restaurant and bar was full, but we got the drinks we ordered quickly and so we didn’t even notice. Amazing experience and will definitely come back if we are ever connecting in Baltimore!“

“Daniel was amazing. We were there mid day so he was the host, server, and bar tender. We wanted for nothing, and he even caught that my husband dropped his fork in the floor and brought over a new set of utensils within a moment without being promoted. Well done. The food was fantastic, the drinks were huge. Will come again.“

“I had a great experience at Caribeyond Restaurant! The flavors brought me right to the heart of Haitian cuisine. The macaroni pie was creamy, cheesy, and perfectly baked—definitely a standout. The black rice was rich and fragrant, and the chicken legs were juicy and seasoned to perfection. I also really enjoyed the fish cakes—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor.

The only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark for me was the chicken patty. It was a bit dry and didn’t have the same bold taste as the other items. That said, everything else made up for it, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more.

If you’re looking for authentic Haitian comfort food, Caribeyond is worth a visit!“
