“Best place EVER!
Cancun Cantina is seriously one of the most fun places to go out! The atmosphere is always energetic, the music is great, and everyone there is there to have a good time. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. Whether you’re going for dancing, drinks, or just a fun night with friends, it never disappoints. Such a fun vibe every time — definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“The food is absolutely amazing!!! We took our picky 5yo who ate every single thing on plate!!! The service was great in addition to delicious food!!!! We will be back!!!!“

“Russell excellent waiter.“

“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.“

“We had a fantastic time at Illusions! The experience was personable and intimate. Every person in the audience is made to feel like they were a part of the shows. The drinks were fantastic. The bartender is quick to get the drinks out to you. Spencer brings humor and joy to his show. Illusions is a gem in background and adds to what makes this city so special!“

“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“

“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.“

“Fantastic, legit cheesesteaks on Amoroso rolls“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hosted us for a super 30th birthday, all staff were super nice and our guests loved the nacho bar ~ taco bar~ churros“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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! 🎉🥂“

“good food.good staff. awsome drinks“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I rate all restaurants based on how they compare to similar places. This is basically a dive bar vibe with elevated food. Service was great, cocktails were well made and creative and the food was outstanding and varied. We will be back... I suspect regularly! Bonus... Prices a very reasonable. Most craft cocktails are $12-14. The food was also a good value.
Service: 5 nothing fancy... Just efficient and friendly.
Food: 5 Great quality, creative choices. Fantastic 'bar food'.
Atmosphere: 4.5 Clean, comfortable and a great vibe.
Price: 5... Great value. The kind of place that makes you forget about Cross Street (Atlas) and other more expensive places.

Stongle recommend!“

“I enjoyed both of my visits over this past weekend. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was great. Can’t wait to make my way back so that I can go again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Spot to Celebrate Our Championship! After winning our volleyball championship, our team headed here—and it was the best choice. DJ hyped us up, the vibes were electric, and the wings were absolutely top-tier. Tons of great sauces, fast service, and a fun, sports-friendly atmosphere. The perfect place to enjoy a big win. We’ll definitely be back! 🏐🔥 -Serves You Right volleyball team“
