“Just back from 4th visit Trying to decide what to try next visit. Mahi Mahi bites were an excellent choice . The pulled pork nachos were an unusual item so we had to try them. They were Gr3eat. I love the onion soup. My mom the Margueritas. Service was excellent. Young lady knows how to respond to customers needs. We will be going back and bringing friends.“

“Have loved C.R. wings since they opened in Bel Air. Wanted to try this location and they did not disappoint. Staff was very attentive. Food was good and didn’t take super long. Between the 5 of us 50 wings were ordered, fries, and other items. 10/10 would recommend“

“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“

“Fine dining in Baltimore at its best. Loved the atmosphere, the staff and the food was divine. I’ll be back!!!“

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Ampersea! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. Joey was absolutely fantastic - setting us up at a table with an amazing view and checking on us multiple times during our visit. He offered to take our coats after we were seated and then offered to take pictures of us when we were on our way out. Ampersea has definitely been the most positive experience we have had during our trip. I can honestly say that Joey is the sole reason we cannot wait to come back to enjoy a meal and a drink (or 2, or 3 haha) once the weather is nicer! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!“

“I dream about the honey sriracha cauliflower wings. Love Maggie’s!“

“Was very impressed. The Chesapeake Benedict was awesome. The Bloody Mary was on point and also the mimosa. Kristen (can’t remember the spelling) was the bartender and amazing and very attentive. 5 star experience. What also impressed me was they had a special part on their check that had a separate 2% specially going towards their cooking staff which I happily did. I just thought that was cool. Definitely a goto now for brunch.“

“Excellent“

“My husband and I stopped in as we went for a walk in our neighbor and were throughly impressed by the food. Everything was fresh and hot. The grits are making its way back to my thighs lol but totally worth it ! Everyone was extremely welcoming“

“After an amazing game at Camden Yards the night before, we went to Miss Shirley’s Cafe for breakfast, which came highly recommended and I can absolutely see why! Our breakfast really hit the spot, and the service was excellent, especially our server, who was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere was fun, yet upscale casual and such great energy from everyone enjoying their food. It was the perfect place to grab a delicious breakfast, mimosa and soak in the atmosphere after the game. They also offer outside seating with a beautiful view of the harbor. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and would happily visit again!“

“My daughter chose pies over a wedding cake for her reception. We ordered multiple flavors and they were such a hit with the guests. Everyone was excited to see the variety and enjoyed them immensely. This turned out to be such a success and I recommend others try pies in lieu of cake, and you cannot go wrong with Dangerously. 😋“

“Such a cute little spot in Baltimore. Vibe is rustic and fun - the place has a lot of spirit. Food was delicious, we just wish the crab dip had more chunks of crab! Beer and cocktails were amazing, and the service was amazing. we even bought a cup to take home :) We will definitely be back!!!“

“We had an incredible experience. The service was fast, the staff were welcoming, the food was delicious. Looking forward to try more items on the menu soon!“

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!“

“Really lovely service and food. Michele was a delight, and all the other staff.

One star lost because we ordered one BLT between us, and they charged a $2 surcharge to split plates, when we had never said anything about splitting plates, we’d just ordered one sandwich as one of us wasn’t hungry. We thought it was cute they served it on two plates. Think the $2 was for extra chips, which were thrown away.

We questioned it with them and they kept it on the bill. Unfortunate bad taste at the end of a lovely experience“

“We went to dinner here this evening with a large party of 10. While we enjoyed our food and our server was great our overall experience was not 🤦🏼‍♀️. I don’t know if we just had an evening of bad luck or what. First after sitting there a bit a VERY large picture fell off of the wall directly onto me and my 18 month old daughter, then there was a gnat in our drink, and my dad walked outside and a piece of shingle fell off and hit him in the head. Like, I seriously couldn’t make this up. 🤣 like I said food was good and so was our waiter but I feel like a little more could have been done after the picture situation. A cupcake and free drink didn’t really cut it. Had it just fallen on me I wouldn’t have been so upset but the fact that it fell on my daughter made my soul leave my body. We will give it another shot at some point and chock tonight up to the full moon or something just be careful where you sit your kiddos.“

“Friendly host good times , great bands . Good bartenders and the food is delicious…..“

“food is delicious, excellent portions for the price!“

“Don’t let the outside fool you. This place is the best eats!!!! And the nicest people working. And I’m picky!!!! Love this place!!!!“

“The place is amazing. Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Definitely a great atmosphere nice to see something like this in my old neighborhood. Eric and Chad were phenomenal. Me and my girlfriend definitely enjoyed ourselves. I felt like I hit a time machine and went back to the 90s down fells point. It definitely gave me that type of vibe. 💯💯🫡“

“premiere dining experience with delicious food, cocktails, and a very welcoming and knowledgeable staff!! Will definitely be back!“

“Friendly staff and yummy food plus tacos“

“I had the cheese steak combo which was absolutely delicious and came with a huge side of crisp fries. Prices were super affordable. Customer service was amazing - you can easily tell how much the staff cares about their customers. There are a few stools and a counter for dining in. Will definitely visit again soon!“

“I just wanted to say what an awesome experience Barracudas and Billy provided for my family. We held a surprise 90th birthday party for my Mom there on Saturday and it was perfect. The food was delicious as usual and the service was phenomenal. Abby did a great job taking care of us. Big shout out to the kitchen staff and everyone else who assisted in making my Mom feel loved and appreciated. I live 2 hours from the restaurant, but I make it a point to stop in almost everytime for food and drinks. Everyone has their own opinion concerning the restaurant and staff. In 10 years I have never had a bad experience here or seen anything out of the ordinary reacting to the staff or ownership. I have seen intoxicated patrons but that's it. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal or a drink. You won't be disappointed.“

“We recently had an early dinner at Sunshine Grille. The waiter was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. And the food was amazing. I had the Salmon bowl and my husband had the pork chops! Oh, and the dessert’s! Of course we ordered a dessert to go! We’ll be back soon!“

“Great shrimp, fries and drinks. Lovely people“

“This was a very nice breakfast spot went with my grandma on a whim after looking for places to eat. The tropical elixir was refreshing, the warm spiced milk (I believe that’s what it was called) and the decadent hot chocolate was very good as well! The steak and eggs were pretty good I’d probably get something other than that if you’re used to good steak and eggs. But my grandma loved the avocado toast she got.“

“Honey glazed salmon was amazing“

“It’s the local Dawgs bar. What more needs to be said?“

“don't know if it was the server or the kitchen but our food took forever and then my salad was incorrect. I asked for no tomatoes they gave me tomatoes but no cheese. asked for cookies and creme ice cream took half hour for Ice cream to come out when I told our server to cancel the ice cream cause I had to be out forest hill by 230 and it was already 130 ,(we had already been there 1 1/2 hours for 2 kids meals a sandwich and salad) then the ice cream came out incorrect so I canceled my ice cream order. it was early in the afternoon no line at the window and only 6 tables of guest all small groups.“

“One of our favorite breakfast spots. Best creamed chipped beef ever and the coffee keeps coming!“

“Fresh and flavorful seafood! Excellent service every time I go!“

“This stand is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk up, the smell of perfectly seasoned beef sizzling over the coals hits you — and it only gets better from there. I ordered the classic pit beef sandwich, sliced to order and piled high on a fresh kaiser roll. The meat was tender, juicy, and had that perfect bark on the edges. I topped it with their house-made tiger sauce (a killer horseradish-mayo blend) and a little onion — simple, but absolutely packed with flavor. Service was quick, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their meat and the experience they’re giving customers. Sides were solid too — especially the hand-cut fries, which were crispy and golden. They are the closest to boardwalk fries that I have had on this side of town. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size and quality you're getting.I'll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Buffalo arancini spring salad w egg lemon curd dessert“

“Though the location is on a one way street and parking is tough but that’s because this place is popping! The food here is so good and they care about each take out order. Very friendly staff and always smiling. Food is made when ordered so it’s always hot. This location serves the working people in the area and the locals who live around there. Their hours are geared for the working people, it’s like 5am to 4pm or something. They serve breakfast and lunch varieties. Great place to eat. Clean and you can see them cook your food at all times.“

“Home cooking. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“The best food in baltimore ran by the best people.“

“Best ice cream and service in Harford County. I went to the Churchville location and Patrick did an excellent job with my sundae all while being friendly and courteous“

GiGi truly is the one for this environment. Absolutely represented this company well. I will be back because of this great service. Dr. E Holmes! Ed. D“

“is it a Spanish joint now?“

“Ordered the philly cheese steak it came with fries and as delicious as it was the sandwich lacked flavor so i added ketchup and mayo and that made it better. That doesn't it didn't taste it just means that my taste buds wanted more. I went around 3 pm and it was a very relaxing environment with good music and flashy lights would love to go again.“

“Amazing food and decor! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had the opportunity to visit with the owner, she was absolutely one of the coolest people! We also purchased some art right off the wall!“

“Great little local down to earth restaurant. The food was superbly prepared with attention to detail. The ingredients were very fresh and cooked to perfection.
The welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like home. We look forward to coming back every few weeks and definitely are interested in coming your way the special dinner events.“

“We had another excellent meal again tonight! The scallops are a must try. We have tried several of the staple dishes and all have been fantastic. The service is top notch and the owners are very welcoming.“

“This was my husband and I's first time at McFauls. We came for a late lunch and chose to eat at the outside bar. The menu, food and prices were all amazing! Our bartender, Jake was very personable and friendly and gave perfect service!!! Delicious drinks! Everything was above and beyond. There were so many delicious choices on the menu, we can't wait to come back to try more! We had the buffalo chicken wonton special, the Italian stallion sub special and I got the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos all 10/10.“

“Outstanding food with a great cozy atmosphere. I have lived in this area for 27 years. Clean and friendly customers, owners and staff. Shrimp and grits, one of my favorites.“
