“Shuffles is a great spot to grab a cold drink and some good food. The burger and chicken parm are top notch and the specials are always delicious!“

“I’ve been here multiple times and every time I come, the experience has been great. The wings are delicious and there are so many different sauce flavors to choose from. The service has also always been great, as the workers are super nice and they get your food and drinks out to you quickly.“

“My husband and I have been here at least a dozen times, have taken other friends as well. We are always greeted and told about the 20% being included in each drink order and we’re fine with that because the mixologists are fabulous, the atmosphere is wonderful and we will continue to patronize this wonderful establishment and support the city of Baltimore and a small business in the process.“

“Our experience was great from beginning to end! We were running late (still arrived before start time) and after calling, they immediately answered and said drive safe and see you soon. The show was phenomenal! I have no clue how he did half of what he did. The show was very interactive. We can't wait to go with others.“

“I organized a work event that was held there today. The service and experience were amazing. From start to finish they were true professionals and all the attendees had a great time. I highly recommend having your next corporate event here and can’t wait to come back.“

“Buffalo arancini spring salad w egg lemon curd dessert“

“My husband and I stopped by for a drink, and ordered the cream of crab soup, gf fried shrimp, and the honey maple brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious! Special thanks to the bartender, Lee, who was very attentive!“

“Cute little spot with a few outdoor seating tables outside. The drinks were AMAZING!!!! The ambiance is sexy. It's dark, small, with a nice touch of music. I had about 4 drinks. They did not get me tipsy at all. They tasted delicious. I tried 4 different drinks. I will be going back again. I went on a Saturday evening.“

“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“Wow! We ordered carryout from Ellie’s Tavern and were absolutely blown away. The food was incredible — huge portions, hand-cut fries, house-made blue cheese, and perfectly hand-breaded chicken tenders. The Crab Rangoon dip and Buffalo Cauliflower were outstanding. The service was awesome — fast and friendly — even while busy. We can’t wait to dine in next time. What an awesome Canton neighborhood gem!“

“I went for the first time yesterday for happy hour. I've been craving oysters. I was not disappointed. The bartender was great, the bar crowd was fun, food fantastic and drinks were perfect. Will definitely be a regular at this spot!“

“The is a true local gem. The bar is decorated in a 1970’s theme. They offer old timey beers like Stroh’s and Schaefer as well as inventive cocktails. The menu consists of unique pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Their wings are tender, tasty and delicious. The bar has a pub like quality and the clientele is friendly and welcoming. The Dive is a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood“

“The atmosphere is friendly and lively. the cocktails were interesting, and may have even converted my gin-hating husband. The bartenders, Ted especially, really rounded out the experience. one of the best places in the city!!!!!“

“This place is fire. We loved our time at this place, and we were able to try a number of different drinks on the menu. And boy were they good. Every drink hit right, and the basket of fries was well portioned and delicious. We will DEFINITELY be back.“

“It made for a lovely date night with my wife, who fortunately made reservations in advance. The cocktails are creative and tasty. Our server danced to the jazz band. At first it feels crowded because you're seated so close to other folks, but very quickly it feels like you're in your own cocoon. Highly recommend.“

“Our new favorite spot in Fells Point.“

“Fantastic, legit cheesesteaks on Amoroso rolls“

“This is my favorite place to go in Baltimore. Aside from my house. I don't know what to point out as the deciding factor, but it just feels comfortable to me. The food is good, not great — I absolutely love the French Dip Cheesesteak. The wait staff and bartenders are always beyond friendly. We've done trivia nights and game days and quiet nights. My wife absolutely loves the dirty martini. Her favorite in the city. And it's a short walk from my home. I hope it's here for another 100 years.“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“The Backyard is the best neighborhood bar in Baltimore. Expertly curated wine and spirit list, knowledgeable and friendly staff with amazing food and cocktails that are all very reasonably priced. It is am absolute hidden gem!“

“I heard the stories about this place and it had been closed for a couple of years as the hotel it's in underwent renovation and ownership changes but it's back open and I couldn't be happier.

Steve the bartender is currently a one man show and we were there on the weekend it reopened and he was so happy to be back in his happy place. The man is a cocktail maven who loves his craft and what he does and his customers as well.

There is currently no menu here you ask for what you want or can tell Steve what you are in the mood for and he will make something amazing!

I got a smoked old fashioned that he smokes with his own blend of wood and spices and it was easily in the Top 5 of best old fashioneds I've ever had.

If you are in Fells Point looking for a cocktail and Anchor Tavern is open make sure you visit!“

“From the moment we arrived, the entire team at Phillips Seafood was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They went above and beyond to help make our event both seamless and memorable. What truly stood out was the genuine hospitality of the staff. Not only did they provide excellent service throughout the event, but they also graciously helped us set up and display our materials beforehand, making the process stress-free and easy for our team. Their willingness to assist in every detail reflected a level of care and professionalism that made a lasting impression on all of us. The atmosphere, food, and service were exceptional, and our students, staff, and guests all felt warmly welcomed. We are deeply grateful to the Phillips Seafood team for helping create such a successful and meaningful event. We would highly recommend Phillips Seafood to anyone looking for a venue with outstanding food and even more outstanding people behind it.“

“The service provided was first class. I went with a group of friends to watch the NFL DRAFT. The food was great and the staff were awesome. I would highly recommend this restaurant. we will be going back.“

“great venue, very friendly and professional staff. first venue I've ever been to that let me take my merch haul out to my car so I didn't have to worry about lugging it around or standing in line waiting after the show ended. Also quick to respond to questions. Thank you for a great show experience!“

“Great neighborhood hang out. Patrons are totally chill and everyone is there for a good time. Bar tenders are awesome. Reasonably priced with lots of events. 10/10“

“We were a little surprised to start the evening by ringing a doorbell to get in, but the warm welcome that followed put us at ease right away. The atmosphere is fantastically unique, quirky, and full of character. The bartenders were genuinely friendly and the service was quick.

We ordered the Mac ’n’ Cheese with Jerk Chicken, Yuca Bites, Chorizo con Arroz y Gandules and the Cinnamon Mini Donuts. Everything was perfectly seasoned (especially great if you enjoy a bit of heat like we do). The only downside was that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side.

It also looks like they host a lot of interesting events like book readings, sip-and-paints, comedy shows and more. We didn’t get a chance to attend one this time, but it definitely added to the charm and made us want to come back.“

“The cheeseburger was fantastic! The bartender was superb for drinks and conversation. Dive bar excellence.“

“We are there for the first time last night and I can say the food was absolutely amazing and the service was phenomenal. It’s a busy restaurant for obvious reasons, but the staff made the experience a great one. The owner Carlos was super nice and stopped by to say hello to us as we have a mutual friend. I would highly recommend checking this out!!“

“One of our Favs! Wine tastings with Wayne❤️Meg rocks. Tristan is the best.“

“It made me feel like home! 😍“

“I really dug this spot. And unpretentious corner dive bar that doesn't try to hard to be a dive bar. I heard an old friend was working here, so my buddies and I stopped in to see her.

Great prices on boh, friendly service. The food looks great, but didn't have an opportunity to try. Maybe next time, as I will likely be back.“

“We celebrated my daughter's bachelorette party weekend at the Power plant. I'm not that much into Country music, but the PBR was definitely the best part of the trip!“

“good food.good staff. awsome drinks“

“Starting with the food, we had a great kahuna burger with fries and the churros for dessert. The burger was great with some really tasty onions on top and a nice balance of the teriyaki on the burger. The churro was also delicious with a nice soft bitter chocolate flavor to the dipping sauce that balanced well with the sweetness of the churro. I love the idea of being able to do arts and crafts while enjoying a drink and some food with friends after work. We could see how lovely it got shortly after the end of the work day and there was even a jewelry class going on while we were there. If you live nearby and aren’t checking this place out every so often you’re missing out!“

“On The Rocks Bar & Grill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently hosted a birthday party at On The Rocks in Millersville, and it was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end. The owners were absolutely incredible — attentive the entire time and genuinely invested in making the celebration special. They went above and beyond to personalize the event, even helping us display a slideshow on the television screens, which added such a meaningful and fun touch for our guests. The food was fantastic and consistently replenished throughout the party — no one ever felt like they were waiting or missing out. And the drinks? On point all night long. 🍸👏 What really stood out was how hands-on and accommodating they were. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in making events seamless and memorable. If you’re looking for a place to host a birthday, celebration, or private gathering in the Millersville area, I highly recommend On The Rocks. We felt completely taken care of and were able to relax and enjoy every moment. We’ll definitely be back! 🎉🥂“

“Butter chicken and chicken Tikki masala and garlic naan all exceptional“

“Section 771 helped to raise nearly $5000 for the Wishlist Foundation! Thank you for hosting the Pearl Jam PreParty! Your staff was friendly, fast, and kind. Best bar bathrooms in Baltimore! Super clean facility. Check them out before Orioles and Ravens games. Thank you for supporting the community!“

“Terrific new local small business in OEC making great Vodka and Gin!! This is run by a great friend of mine and will be a terrific addition to OEC.“

“Worked there years ago for John. He has passed but the memories are still there. Oh the things I did on that pool table. LOL Great memories.“

“I love the mamas on the half shell in Owings Mills. The food is great and I am a frequent diner. I love Mary, Alaina, and Gavin the best. They are so courteous and customer service orientated. The crab soup there and the cream of crab is to die for. Also love their coddies! The restaurant is beautiful and I also love sitting outside as well. Always seems very clean. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Mindy.“

“This is a great local bar with a lot of character. You won't find friendlier people anywhere. Classic old school decor inside and on the night we were there, DJs spinning the disks at your request. Wander upstairs and check out the record store while you're there. This is a must hang in Baltimore.“

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“What a great local spot! Harry is the best!! Vegas loves u!“

“Great place for all genres of music worshippers to come together and JAM !“

“Amazing bar ! Great drinks 🍹 great customer service! Great atmosphere“

“Extensive tap list and special beer fest days. Their June beer fest days offer 6o+ sours. The pit beef is like no other! Try it spicy! They also offers tots, tenders and Mac n cheese and allow children in before 5 PM. Also, really cool environment and excellent service. Expect to order at the counter.“

“I really enjoyed myself I can’t wait to come back“

“Great brunch. The food and service was c the best!“

“We decided to check this out during the Olympics so that we could watch the events but also get some slightly fancy dining on a Saturday. The interior is cozy but well decorated and has plenty of seats for a smaller bar. We didn’t explore the upstairs but there is a staircase in the center. They also had plenty of outdoor seats. We decided to focus on the specials and tried the grilled octopus dish which was fantastic, it came with some nicely grilled veggies and a delicious spread of hummus which all came together for a very balanced and flavorful bite. As a side we opted for the couscous instead of fries or rice. The couscous was nicely seasoned and came with veggies as well. All in all it was a delicious, balanced and healthy meal that was excellently prepared!“
