“Went to Ashland Cafe last Saturday night... The food was great the band was great but our waitress was exceptional...Becca went above and beyond with her service.... She needs a raise... Well definitely be back!!!“

“I celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday. It was a beautiful experience and budget friendly. The food was great and customer service was very good. The ambience was nice and the music was not loud. I am giving a 4 star only because we hoped the place would have a little dessert for the birthday girl. Overall my experience was great. Will recommend.“

“This is a typical bar with with bar food. No Different than TGI Friday, except a little better. The service is "OK" the servers are untrained as to waiting on tables. The first thing that should be brought to tables is eating utensils and napkins, the water. The tables dont have slat & pepper available for their patrons, you need to ask for it. The menus are not placed in front of customers upside down. (And I even brought it to her attention and she still didn’t correct it) ?? All in all the server was trying very hard to be attentive. The food was not terrible, it's typical bar food, and dont expect anything more. The Boom Boom shrimp are pre breaded frozen shrimp with the tails on and then fried and covered in some type of sauce. My daughter liked the boneless chicken wings with hot sauce. The onion rings I thought were good. I ordered the toasted Italian sub and wasn't offered the option to get tater tots -vs- fries. I didn’t realize this till later and the fries were soggy. I think this is an "OK" spot for someone looking for a bar atmosphere and same for the food & service.“

“Very nice neighborhood watering hole!! Staff friendly food is fabulous and the music guest this evening was great too!!! We had a very nice evening for being out on a Sunday nigh! Definitely be back!!“

“It made me feel like home! 😍“

“they have great local bands on the weekends and in summer a beer garden w/bands.great beer selection.good food,friendly staff.best hang in baltimore co.“

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

“Cozy spot with a laid back vibe, good cocktails, nice beer selection, and amazing music.“

“For a bar on the outside it’s not like a looker but don’t let that steer you away. They have a small food menu but they do it Good. I got chicken tenders and a chicken cheesesteak both were yummy. If you want a cool afternoon drink and lunch with a chill vibe this is the spot. The bar tender Sharon was very polite and sweet and the cook even came out to deliver the food to us. I would highly recommend this bar for budget food and drink for a good buck👍🤟“

“My friend and I visited this lounge for the first time last month. It is a BEAUTIFUL lounge. A great atmosphere and gorgeous ambiance. The bartender was very nice. However, our experience could have been better for a couple reasons: First, a lot of the items on the food menu were unavailable! Maybe the lounge was waiting for a food inventory delivery? Who knows? My friend tried to order three food items off the menu, and for each item the bartender said “I have to check with the kitchen to see if we have it!” They didn’t have the three items. My friend settled for the steamed shrimp. 🤷🏾‍♀️ My second and last issue/complaint: We both ordered a delicious pink martini-style drink (I forgot the exact name). The drink was good but it was mainly juice/sugar/grenadine— it hardly had any alcohol. It tasted like we were drinking a really good pink lemonade beverage lol. I will give this lounge another chance and most likely several more chances because it’s near my house. They should just stop skimping on the alcohol and have most menu items in stock!“

“This place sucks if you want some kinda pompous atmosphere. It’s awesome if you want something different from everything else in Towson. The owner Bailey is old school service industry, and doesn’t cater to elites or rich. All of the bartenders treat you with respect so long as you do. Good specials and solid service. If you want a fancy cocktail go somewhere else. If you want a beer and on honest opinion, this is your spot.“

“Went for breakfast today. Got eggs and scrapple. Everything cooked perfectly. First time that we've been to the new location. We loved going there when they were in Owings Mills. The space is big and the selection of prepared foods and gourmet grocery items is wonderful. Everyone that waited on us was friendly. Can't wait to go back.“

“Friendly staff. Food was delicious. Pretty sure every server in the restaurant dropped something off at our table.“

“I never been but I heard it's very nice there the food is awesome I will be ther“

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

“Fun, friendly dive bar great local hangout“

“Great Dive bar- .50 cent pool tables- cheap drinks and good eats - locals hangout-“

“I Loved the Atmosphere and Friendliness from the Owner. I had my Baby-shower here in March. He has a space in the Backyard and it can accommodate at least 50 people. He was very kind, he made it an open cash bar since I couldn’t have alcohol but that was totally fine. He takes the trash out at the end of the night so all I had to do was clean up. I am definitely having a Party here and the space was Affordable. Thank you for everything! I will be back soon!“

“Awesome establishment. Great food and drinks!!“

“Wow leaving from City Line now 😢 friend recommended City Line for a Re Pass and City Line did us wrong Overcharged Everybody just because you never seen none of Us before we only live 20 minutes away but we are never coming back the waitresses make up their own prices DJ was good but we can't f*** with that“

“Downtown location is excellent. Food is great at both locations. Service at Owings Mills location was the worst I have ever experienced. Go Downtown. Owings Mills service was dreadful. It wasn't crowded. Just really bad service. Worst service.“

“Great fish and chips and Irish stew. Always a fun, lively atmosphere. A little known nugget- they have a free parking lot behind! 🍀🇮🇪“

“We live right around the corner and drive past this place constantly. We've lived in Parkville for five years and came here for a Bluey brunch sometime last summer with our toddler. We decided to try the actual restaurant part tonight for dinner. The food was outstanding and our waiter was attentive and very friendly. Very lively, festive atmosphere, but my one complaint is, MAN, was it loud in there. My daughter spent the first 10 minutes after we got there holding her ears because it was so noisy. But I guess that's to be expected from one of the most popular local restaurants in town. Will most definitely be back!“

“haven't been there for quite a while but when I used to go which was not that long ago I enjoyed it a lot it's a small quaint bar with you can have machines you can have darts you can and it's fun fun nice people they only have a small menu but the hot dogs are good homemade soups which are delicious“

“Tasha and E are two of the most attentive and friendly bartenders in Baltimore!!“

“Definitely enjoyed myself. Danced and ate my food. Food took a little long but I will say one thing still had a good time. Felt comfortable.“

“Excellent Food!! And great atmosphere!!“

“I’m the bartender & if you liked it back then stop in there now !!! All vibes Karaoke Tuesday night Game nights on Wednesday Toxic Thursdays with a dj Friday & Saturday with a dj & sundays n mondays slow jams & chill vibes“

“Food & Drink was Good 😋😛😝😜🍹🍹🍹🍹💃✌️“

“I'd never been to the bar side before, love the liquor store, and decided to stop in. As I was walking in 2 different patrons complimented my hair and jeans. :) I had one drink at the bar and decided to head out. As I was walking to my car the table that had complimented me invited me over to have a drink. Its a friendly place with a friendly atmosphere.“

“Have been going to Firehouse for years. Had Kerri (hope the name is spelled right) for our server. Have always had great service, but she was the best server yet. Everything was great, food and service. Thank you! Great job ?“

“First time here tonite. Was headed to another spot, but my friend saw this as we were making a turn on White Ave and said let’s try this. So happy we did. Food, drinks and service were on point. Very big portions on the happy hour menu, and the drinks were solid. Prices were really good for everything. Nice spot for a small get together or just a vibe after work. Will definitely be going back when I’m over east.“

“Best wings hands down! and the crowd is cool and mature.“

“Best Kenyan Nyama Choma (Grilled Meat) on the east coast hands down. So we all love a good hole in the wall eatery and thats definitely the vibe here. Covid killed the traffic into this place but that's fine cuz there's less of a wait. THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! Simple menu but sooo good. The ambiance is lacking but my eyes were closed as I capture the flavour of the food in every bite so it didn't matter. I meet the owner and he was so nice, inviting and extremely accommodating. Take away is also always an option. If your contemplating getting food from here just stop reading reviews and place your order now, then thank me later. This man knows his craft. Things to remember: at the moment its cash only and since your getting real authentic african style grilled meat there will be a wait but it will be worth every second. Your Welcome.“

“Best Burger I've ever had!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Citron Baltimore while celebrating a friend’s birthday! The owner, Charles, and his wife were incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was incredible, with a perfect blend of elegance and warmth that made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend this gem of a spot—can’t wait to come back!“

“We were in Baltimore visiting family and stopped in for breakfast — and WOW, this place did not disappoint! Hands down the BEST crepe we’ve ever had 🤩. It was loaded with ham, spinach, cheeses, and hollandaise sauce. It came with a side of greens and crispy potatoes with sautéed onions — perfection. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town! 🥞✨“

“Real food the way Baltimoreans like it. Regular white sandwich bread for soft crabs Fried Liver and onions with bacon also. Rare Prime Rib. Just good home cooked food.They miss on a few items but,I've been going for 45 years and it doesn't disappoint. Service is friendly and excellent. Hope it never changes.“

“This story is worth sharing. Our Lax team had a tournament in Baltimore, Md this weekend. We stayed at a Holiday Inn that so happened to have a Chili’s Restaurant attached. Our crew wound up at the Chili’s for dinner yesterday evening and met an AMAZING server named Bobby. Our boys raved about Bobby’s service, and invited him to their Sunday…9am…90 degree game. Well, Bobby showed up at their game, with his big personality and smile. He wound up leaving such a great impression on the boys, coaches, and parents that he was part of our team for the day! He complimented the parents on our boys manners and said he wouldn’t miss their game for anything. Despite loosing 1 game and winning another, Bobby was the winner here today! Chili’s Restaurant has a fabulous employee, and Jersey Express 26’ team has a new buddy! I call that a win in my book all day long!“

“Yesterday, I had a 'surprise" 25th wedding anniversary party for my daughter-and son-in-law. It was amazing. Everyone raved about the food. We used a "happy hour" set-up. The private room was set up perfectly. Michael and Kayleigh were attentive to any request of our guests. . The food was superb. The display was appealing to the eye. Everyone had so much fun. I highly recommend Casa Mia's for a casual dinner or a catered party. I thanks to Leah and Mark for all of their in the planning and on the day of the party. Casa Mia's made this a celebration to remember.“

“The staff was polite and the food came out very fast. There’s a lot of options on the build your own taco paper and they will also accommodate you if you don’t want any ingredient listed. Plus if it hadn’t been raining they have an outdoor covered seating area. It was just raining pretty bad when I visited.“

“Great shrimp, fries and drinks. Lovely people“

“Great fun atmosphere to watch the sun go down and watch football! Pickle whiskey mule for the win!“

“quite, excellent job, great food and atmosphere just right“

“Home cooking. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“My family went to Hightopps tonight for a small memorial for my uncle. The food was delicious, our waitress Bree was great, the general manager, Kirk, was one of my uncles best friends, thank you for your kindness! I never met the owner but I can tell he is an excellent person. Thank you to all of my uncles friends that cared so much for him & for Hightopps wonderful service and kindness as well. I give this place a 10 out of 10. It reminds me a little like Seacrets in OC. Love the atmosphere and outside is so pretty.“

“Great brunch good food selection“

“Great service!!! Delicious crab meat wonton...will be returning with my family next time we’re back in Maryland“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Atmosphere and Great Drinks!

I had the pleasure of visiting The Hub Sport Bar last weekend, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The ambiance is perfect for any occasion—whether you’re there for a laid-back evening with friends or celebrating something special. The bartenders are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and know how to craft the perfect cocktail.

I highly recommend trying their signature drinks. I had the Screwdriver , and it was a delightful mix of flavors. The selection of beers and spirits is top-notch, and there’s something for every taste. The music was the perfect backdrop, not too loud, just right for conversation.

The best part? The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and they really made us feel welcome. Overall, a fantastic spot for anyone looking to unwind with great drinks in a welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be back!“
