Restaurants in Essex

“Favorite pizza in MD. I've been going to Pizza John's my whole life. Cheeseburger subs are also pretty good.”

“Never had anything bad. Best pizza bar none. Well managed by Jason.”

“Never a time where I come to Incas and the atmosphere isn’t friendly. Today I came for lunch and it was no different. They just opened so the food came out super hot. Everything was delicious.”

“Best crabs I had in years! Season well heavy meaty with lots of the yellow sauce inside! I don’t like the butter. The staff is nice. The shrimp is good as well . I live 45 minutes away I don’t care I will take the ride lol. Check them out you will not be disappointed”

“Awesome a great Baltimore tradition for crabs, recently enjoyed the soup flight that comes with bread and it was amazing, I recommend the seafood gumbo.. my new favorite, engaging prompt bartender, sitting at the bar alone still felt so welcoming, 63 year old female FYI.”

“I want to preface by saying the food was amazinggg. I’m quite picky but out of the 4 things we picked off the menu, nothing disappointed. Chicken Caesar wrap with fries, a seafood quesadilla, wings, and crab dip. Two appetizers but everything came out at the same time unfortunately.The location is nice for a sunny day and they have a live band on Sundays, we just missed them since they stop playing at 5pm. The service however, was the worst I’ve ever experienced. You can seat yourselves and then a random server will come and greet you to. Seemed that the servers do not have a designated section like most restaurants do. Dallas came to greet us, ask what drinks we want. Told her a marg and my partner wanted a beer. Took her 15 minutes to bring it. By the time she brought it, we already knew what we wanted from the menu. It was not packed, lotsss of empty tables. Told me she couldn’t find the strawberry puree that the drink called for so she used a “discontinued” syrup. Offered to make me a new one if I didn’t like it. Seems nice of her until that was the very last time we saw her for another HOUR. NO I am NOT exaggerating. To no surprise the drink tasted disgusting, couldn’t even finish a sip. After waiting 45 minutes for our food, and a busser bringing it to us. Still no waitress in sight. I now have no drink for my meal and neither does my boyfriend because who needs 45 minutes to finish one beer bottle. We were almost finished eating when she decided to finally join us. I’m not saying she had to babysit us but damn come ask me if we want refills especially since you offered to remake it or ask if our food even came out right. Me and my partner go to restaurants on average twice a week and we have never been so neglected. It’s funny because we would see her talking to other tables and whatnot here and there but she couldn’t be bothered by us. Also the other tables around us had the kindest servers that were actually doing their job & I had to bother them so we could get containers to go. Would go back for the food but definitely asking for anyone but Dallas. Guess she doesn’t care of the service she gives or even showing face to us because of the automatic gratuity added to the bill. I’m not sure about anyone else, but I only get paid if I do my job. And if you get paid to do nothing please let me know so I can quit my job & join you.”

“Everything you'd want from a great little sports pub and grill. Great food, drinks, friendly people all in one place. Don't take my word for it, find out for yourself!”

“7-8-22 went to two guys for the 5th time tonight and I have to say everything we have ever gotten is delicious… tonight they had Kareoke so we did a smorgasboard of appetizers for the table of 3 crab dip coconut shrimp bruschetta shrimp toast onion ring tower rock fish bites it was to die for great food great service great crushes great atmosphere can’t wait to go back ?❤️??”

“We had our wedding here. Island View Waterfront Cafe was everything we envisioned for our wedding!! It had that backyard wedding feel with GORGEOUS waterfront views! Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and her love for weddings and desire for you to have your dream day is evident after working with her. She is a great communicator and was a huge help during the different planning stages of our wedding. During our rehearsal and on the day of I came to her with all the questions and she had already had the answers and plans for those worked out and she is a HUGE reason why our day went so smoothly! We love and Cherish being an Island View Couple!! Some cool perks: flexibility to pick our own vendors; chairs and tables were included in the rental; we rented out the the evening before for our rehearsal and hosted an informal pizza party as we were setting up and organizing all the decor which made everything so much easier; you get to work with Jess and I can't say enough good things about her!!”

“I can only recommend the cheese steaks here because that's all I ever get but would be willing to bet other things are great too. Quick service polite staff good food .. hard to beat this place IMO.”

“Excellent staff and very polite! Food is a great value & the portions are more than fair. Overall I would recommend The Tempo Lounge!”

“Nothing like the Birdland; ½ lb steamed shrimp 🦐 & ½ lb wings 🐔— the perfect combo. Had to get a ½ dozen crabs too 🦀 Great food, even better company, and top-tier service every time, thanks to Stephanie! We truly love being able to have dinner here!”

“Great entertainment! Awaken & Surreal”

“I had been wanting to check out LoonAsea since they opened. As a long time customer of the previous restaurant, I have fond memories here. I wondered how the food was. I am happy to say yes, the food is good and the service too( Isabella). Beautiful renovations. We will gladly drive almost an hour to eat here.”

“The owners are nice , the drink prices are reasonable particularly the beer bucket specials. Everest also has great food at fair prices. I go whenever I can.”

“We used Miss Twist for my daughters 5th birthday party. They were right on time, super friendly, and the ice cream was amazing! Everyone raved over them!! I will be using them again. Thank you SO much!!!! Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Had my first visit at The Comfy Cup today, and to say I was impressed is an understatement. It was hands down some of the best coffee I’ve had in a long time. We tried the coffee flight and a breakfast Sammy, and both were absolutely incredible. The space itself was so warm and inviting. We will most definitely be back!”

“Enjoying perfect Baltimore weather this one evening in June with outstanding service from Taylor! The crabcakes were fabulous and quite reasonable price-wise. I wasn’t a big fan of the french fries; they had some kind of sweet salt on them? The rockfish appetizer was delicious and the oysters were yummy.”

“Thanks Ricardo for your awesome Customer Service and addressing me by my name!”

“It really fun and the foods good and the cooks are entertaineing .”

“Omg the meatloaf was off the charts!!!! Compliments to Chef, best meatloaf we’ve had in a long time. Amazing bar staff and met some great people. Nice vibe, good food, good drinks and great atmosphere. Job well done, Woodys will definitely be back!!!!”

“My mom and I enjoy this spot. The food is phenomenal. I hope to go here for years to come. I would like to see a handicapped accessible automatic door opener for wheel chair access. The staff provide excellent service. Thank you!”

“One of the best pizza and sub shops around. They have Amazing customer service. I try pizza from new shops that open but no one compares. They have the freshest and most delicious food. Everyone needs to try their Party Pizza.”

“I love this place. My husband I haven’t got a bad meal out of here yet. The waitresses are wonderful. This is my husband and I to go to restaurant.”

“We used Mr. Soft for an event at our school. They were very easy to work with and arrived on time. The truck had plenty of options and the line moved quickly. We were very happy with their service.”

“Nice little neighbor bar ! Mary , Rachel , Tina & Nikki all work hard to keep the place clean , well stocked and the cold beer coming !! Great Happy Hour prices & 6 pool tables !”

“We had a wonderful first visit to Charley’s! Our party of seven arrived around 4:30 without a reservation, but what appeared to be the manager quickly had a table cleaned and ready for us within five minutes. He was attentive and present throughout the restaurant, which was great to see. Our server was excellent, the food came out surprisingly fast, and the whole family loved the cozy, fun atmosphere—especially the arcade room. The plants and café lights are a nice touch too. We’re already looking forward to coming back!”

“My husband and I wanted to order from somewhere new on Grubhub and we ran into Marco’s Pizza. The thing that stood out to me about their menu is that it was very straight forward and they had awesome reviews. I always get weary of pizza places that have a very long menu list with items ranging from pizza to sweet and sour chicken… #redflag lol Marcos Pizza stuck to what they know they do best and it really is the best. I got the cheese steak pizza (amazing) and my husband got a classic pepperoni pizza. We love the pizza dough and how they bake the pizza. Packaging was awesome , you can tell they put a lot of pride and effort into their food. This is my new favorite pizza place.”

“I L❤️VE the suicide wings! The food is always delicious🤗”

“below average pizza. missed order notes. feedback is padded. I know someone who works there.”

“The best food in Baltimore md Amazing”

“Food did not disappoint Staff was very friendly Favorites chicken momos , pizza fries, Greek pizza and gyros. I will be back next time I visit Maryland”

“Used to come here often years ago when I lived in Middle River. So glad they are still open after all that time after moving out the area. I went here yesterday for some shrimp yat and it was worth the drive. I will be back 😁”

“It was very quite. And the bar person working seemed very nice and friendly. Will stop in again sometime.”

“our go to Mexican restaurant. great food, service, atmosphere and prices. what else is there”

“I’m from Alabama & wanted some soul food so I goggled soul food in the ESSEX area SOUL DELISHAUS appeared. I ordered 3 plates for me & other family members. Our food was delicious the customer service from Rita(the owner) was fantastic. I went back the following week & our food was delicious again. Whenever I’m in Maryland I will surely stop by your establishment.”

“Ordered pizza and salads for dinner. Pizza was great! Salads were fresh and tasty. I would like to have had more salad veggies though (lots of lettuce). We'll definitely order again!”

“every morning I'm greeted with a nice smile from that guy in the window holding my hot coffee ☕👍”

“Food and service were super fast. They’ve got a great variety of menu items that fit different budgets. I’m not a big sweets person, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the apple pie crumble dessert was. Overall pleased with the price for the food.”
