“I stumbled across the Reserve from an advertisement i saw online about a past karaoke brunch event that was had there. From there i went straight to yelp to read reviews and everything was positive across the board from the service, dining experience, food and atmosphere.From the positive reviews i pulled up and met the owner Phil who kindly showed me both room and packages i could get to accomdate a space for my sisters 40th party and feed 30 people. I was sold on the large lounge area Phil created with the beautiful grass walls, large mirrors, french crystal chandelier lights and an plug in ready dj sound system.I am a worrier naturally so i would call and text the owner to make sure everything was going to be up to par for the party. Every request I made to Phil, he made it happen. From the small things to moving tables and furniture to have more room to requesting additional menu items last minute it was the easiest planning party experience i've had. Only thing i did was put up a few balloons around the grass walls, we set up a backdrop photo booth and had the best 40th karaoke dj party and everyone had a blast!After my event every guest came to me and said they enjoyed the vibe, atmosphere and mostly the food. They were very ecstatic on the fresh crispy chicken, mac and cheese, fish, salad and homemade dressing that came along with it. Up to this point i had never tasted Phil's food i went off the reviews off of google and yelp of real people spending their money and giving honest reviews. Let me tell you 'The Reserve' is a southern hidden gem. The food is one of the best soul food places in baltimore and i am a picky eater, the chicken melts in your mouth, the mac and cheese will be the first thing gone off your plate and every option on the menu is great to try.Thank you Phil for delivering a wonderful service and giving me and my guest a great experience for my sisters party, the ambiance was perfect, the food was excellent and I had a wonderful experience overall and i have referred them to a few people and will be back personally to eat so yal check this place out :)Kid-friendliness: I have a 1 and 3 year old and they were very much accomdating with plenty of space“
“This was our first time at Ethel's. It's quite small, so the noise level is a bit high. But, that didn't matter. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. Pricing is about what you might expect, not cheap but not over the top. I would definitely recommend Ethel's. And, we'll certainly be going back again.“
“Winner Winner Catfish Dinner!I really wanted the whole menu.Everything looked so appetizing.Ordered Catfish, yams and The Mac & Cheese. This is some good $hit.I picked a winner. I'm not from the area just looking for some good home cooking, and I found it.The staff and even the patrons were so nice a social. Really made my day when away from home on business.“
“Omg I love Chelsea. So I ordered seafood salad for Thanksgiving like I do every year. I misjudged how much people would want it so I had to call her back and place another order the night before Thanksgiving. Chelsea said I got you. She is so helpful, caring , and most of all down to earth. She is a amazing business owner and I really appreciate her. ❤️“

“My favorite place to get western fries and bean pies. There are definitely betters places to get chicken but the chicken is decent. The prices arw very reasonable and haven't changed much at all over the years which I really like. Customer service is okay, the people who take orders aren't very welcoming but I really don't need them to be. Overall, a decent place to eat.“
