Came for brunch on a Sunday at noon and it was surprisingly not crowded. I'd read the service is slow and it was for us too, but our waitress was still very attentive, so sweet, so it wasn't a bad experience at all. Food was just average across the board, nothing particularly stood out but nothing bad either (we got chicken & waffles, breakfast tacos, crab Benedict, & Mexican omelette)

Perfect stop for some pre ravens game bottomless mimosas and breakfast! Def a good spot for bottomless

So, overall this was a nice spot. We came on Christmas and it was fairly busy. We sat by the bar and the music was on point (old school r&b). It wasn't too loud and you could very comfortably have a conversation.The customer service was good. The staff were attentive, friendly, and answered all of our questions. Zero complaints here.I started iff with a pomegranate mule and that was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Very very good.We also ordered mac n cheese, truffle fries, and chicken wings for appetizers. The mac n cheese was good. the truffle fries were good; not overly greasy like some spots. I wasn't blown away by the wings but they were decent. We ordered j*** chicken Philly cheesesteak ( I saw it online but they didn't have in their in-person menu, but they still made it for me). The bread was really good, the chicken was flavorful (not like a typical j*** but the flavors were there). I like spicy food and it had som spice to it. There was a weird sauce on it that I wasn't a fan off so I removed it. I wish there was lettuce, tomatoes, like a typical chew steak though. I got a caesar salad with it that was good and had a slight kick to it. Parking was limited. Overall, it was good bar food and I can see myself going there again if I am in the area.

I hate to write this type of review, but this is by far one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. I was meeting up with a friend at 1pm for Saturday brunch while I was visiting Baltimore this past November 2022. He researched Saturday brunch spots and suggested this restaurant based on the reviews. The Good:* greeted and seated quickly* staff was kind/pleasant* honey old bay wings were delish* the drinks (mimosas) were a flowingThe Bad:* slow service * my order was wrong and the restaurant staff never corrected it * way too many green peppers in the shrimp and grits and the grits didn't have a lot of flavor* bar ran out of pineapple juiceOur experienceAs soon as we arrived, we were seated by the bartender who brought over our mimosas right away. I asked to have my mimosa made with pineapple juice, but the bar only had enough pineapple juice to make one. WTH?The restaurant was not very busy nor is it very big, but it took an unreasonable amount of time for a server to take our order (15+ minutes). Once we placed our orders, the food took forever to arrive.My friend ordered shrimp and grits. The server said it contained green peppers and my friend was ok with that; however, the server did NOT mention that the dish contained a mound of green peppers. It looked like 2 whole chopped green peppers were on his plate. It was overkill. The dish overall was meh. Shrimp was good, but the grits didn't have much flavor.I ordered the crab benedict with potatoes and an extra side of hollandaise sauce. When my food arrived, I immediately made the staff aware that I ordered potatoes instead of fruit and that I also requested an extra side of hollandaise sauce. The server returns with a side of mayonnaise (as if I don't know the difference between hollandaise and mayonnaise) and never brings my potatoes. I asked over 5 times for my potatoes and the staff's response during my 2 hour visit was "we've asked the kitchen several times and they haven't given them to us." That answer was not good enough for me because there were guests that arrived well after me that received their potatoes. The staff should have just taken the potatoes from the kitchen without asking. My meal was very disappointing with the exception of the honey old bay wings. The staff was apologetic and said they hope we'd return. Why on earth would we do that when you never made my order right while I was there the first time? This restaurant gets an F.

I was at a conference at the Hilton and their restaurant was under renovation. So I ordered the Angus burger with avocado ($4 extra) and Swiss and a side of truffle fries ($4 extra) from this restaurant through Uber eats. What I received was regular (not truffle) fries that were limp and soggy and semi-cold and a cheeseburger that was missing the avocado and was so salty it was almost inedible. No photos of the burger— I took a few bites and threw it out. Gross. I reported it on Uber Eats and they gave me a partial refund.

I’ve been here before they changed owners and loved it. Decided to give it a try and unfortunately was unenthused.I’ll start w/ what I liked. Had the Wednesday burger special, and it was pretty tasty. But that’s all that was tasty, im afraid.I had the Spicy Spa Water cocktail to start and it was very ginger-y. Which some people may like, but it was not for me.We then tried the spotlight appetizer and were not impressed by that either. The queso was puffy and congealed, the salsas were acidic and cold, and the chips tasted slightly stale.This restaurant has the perfect location, I just hope they tweak some of their recipes. It’s a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are amazingly attentive. I want to love this place again but it needs some work.

I live nearby and I'm so glad I found this place. Great food, and they had the friendliest staff. The bartenders are fantastic too! Would definitely come back!

I recently read that RowHouse would be open again for lunch during the work week. So on a beautiful Friday afternoon, we headed there. I had forgotten how good the food was. My husband got the crab benedict and I got the burrito perrito. Both were delicious. The menu is more "brunch" than lunch, but there are some lunch items. Every bite of my burrito perrito was to die for. Details like the flour tortilla was warm and soft but the bottom had a little crisp to it. Server was accommodating and friendly. The only minor complaint was that our margaritas were served in a smallish glass with lots of ice.

Owner followed me home after tipping over 30%. Was weird. The restaurant and staff was nice, but he seemed strange.

A nice and cheap place to brunch and cure a hangover. Pretty good for bar food. Really good deal for bottomless mimosa and bloody marry pitchers

First timer here, but my boyfriend had been many times prior to it's recent re-opening. Design inside was nice Baltimore bar style, and bartender was very friendly. The issue arose when we ordered (one) sandwich for takeout, and we saw a takeout bag come down from the kitchen about ten minutes later and the person who brought it down let the bartender know she had brought it. Since the bartender didn't bring to us we assumed it wasn't ours. Forty minutes later we saw food come down from the kitchen for people who had arrived after us, so we asked how much longer we could expect to wait. We were told she didn't know but shouldn't be long. Okay. Five minutes later we really had a sneaking suspicion that takeout bag was ours, so we asked, and it turned out it was. The bartender immediately told us she didn't put it there so it wasn't her fault. We took the sandwich and left because we didn't want to wait any longer, but it was pretty disappointing to eat a fried chicken sandwich that been steaming itself for 45 minutes. Food pricing was also an issue that would deter us from returning, the sandwich was $17, and then an additional $4 just for fries. With tip, the one sandwich for takeout cost us $27 and it sat there for 45 minutes. The sandwich was still fine, but not $27 good.

Decent food. Good service. I had brisket tacos. The beer selection is ok..music is really loud

Really good food! No wait on sundays! But a little pricy.

Great food and service. The staff are very nice and helpful if you need anything. They have bottomless brunch for $14 and really tasty food to pair it with. We got gluten free pancakes and nachos, both of which were filling and good. I’m a fan of their portion sizes. Their menu is clearly noted with gluten free and vegetarian notes. This is super helpful if you have allergies! There’s indoor and outdoor seating, as well as 2 single stall bathrooms.

The atmosphere was amazing. The service was great. The food was better. Thanks. Although my daughter says that Glory Days' Lemon Drop shots are better. Everything else was great.
