“I hosted a surprise 30th birthday for my husband at HYC last night. Everyone I dealt with from the moment I reached out to inquire about hosting an event there up until the end of the event last night were fantastic. I ordered food from the catering menu and everyone in attendance commented on how great the food was. Our bartender and server were great as well and I was checked on several times to make sure that everything was going well. We had a great time with great food and drinks and I would highly recommend hosting an event here!“

“Food and Service was Excellent.“

“Enjoyed my breakfast here. Lots of variety on the menu. I appreciated they had 3 different seating options: 1) inside the restaurant, 2) out in an enclosed patio area, 3) an outdoor seating area. I relished in the music they played from Buddy Holly and that era. It made for a perfect start to a Sunday. Prices were reasonable for that area.“

“Fantastic evening at One- Eyed Mike's recently. Our server, Eugene, was top- notch, as was the food and beverage!“

“Excellent“

“I have been to topside before and really loved the ambience of the place. Decided to come back to bring my bf for his bday and I put it was a special occasion; however we canceled the reservation and just went to the bar for a couple drinks and dessert, but they still honored his birthday! They brought out a candle and chocolate that said happy birthday! I was really excited and so was he, I just appreciated that so much for still making his day special!“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“Had their special rum drink. Quite tasty. 14.00
Then had the chicken liver hash hangover cure. Very very good. Presentation was terrific. Eggs were perfect overeasy
I think it was 16.00 (maube 17.00) drinks and food there are inventive and not sloppy. I had a zekes coffee there too 5.00. More than I wanted to spend, but everything was carefully prepared, like in a super exclusive downtown restaurant. Informal atmosphere. Not pretentious. Spent to much but really enjoyed it“

“There are not enough stars in the sky to give this place. Talk about creating fantastic dishes they make such wonderful flavor combinations. They use fresh ingredients it’s very evident in the high quality of food that they provide. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the vibes are indescribable. My waiter was Jimmy today I ordered the Halibut after I asked what it was 😂😂😂. He told me it was delicious and one of his favorite fish. The man was spot on it was absolutely amazing how every was seasoned and grilled to beyond perfection. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Chesapeake it was an absolute hit.I don’t know which one was better but I’d love to have a serving of either one again anytime. Oysters were perfect this place has quickly become a huge place of interest. We both look forward to returning and I will suggest this amazing food to anyone. What great food and a great time.“

“My wife and I were in Baltimore for a wedding and stayed the night. The next morning we found Ale Mary's for brunch, and it was incredible. The prices are so reasonable, the food was delicious and the service was so friendly. We live in Northern Virginia but this place is seriously worth the trip up 95.“

“Absolute gem of a place! We stopped in for lunch after a hot hike from top golf and it felt absolutely amazing in here. It was a well decorated modern industrial vibe that smelt brand new! The bartender who was also the waitress was amazing! The beer and drinks were ice cold and our chicken strips and fries were fresh and delicious! Glad we found this place on a whim.“

“This is the first time I went to this restaurant and was very pleased with the service, the food was great and we received our food fast. It was very clean and all the employees were very friendly. I will be returning for another great meal.“

“Friendly staff and yummy food plus tacos“

“I happened to drive by and see people sitting outside eating. It looked like a great place to stop. I went by myself. I was able to find free parking right outside the restaurant. The menu I was looking at was mostly breakfast and brunch. The price range was about $15 on up. I got a gingerale and their house wings as well as fries. Everything was good.. My bill was $21. The waitress was very attentive and nice and gave recommendations. I would recommend checking this place out. It had a nice atmosphere.“

“everything is delicious !“

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

“We discovered this gem a few months ago. We love it and been there quite a few times already. Great food and atmosphere!“

“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“

“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!“

“Honey glazed salmon was amazing“

“First time ordering from here JIST 4-5 hours ago. I saw sooo many good reviews I had to try it. I ordered (delivery) their jerk chicken panini, and jerk chicken Rasta pasta. MAN… the pasta is sooo good!! The panini was also delicious, even though the panini pressed grilled bread had steamed inside its wrapper and lost its crispiness.. it was great. Wasn’t soggy just had lost its crunchiness where the grill marks are. I can’t wait to try their chicken pot pie and jerk chicken platter! I would’ve ordered those too.. but I don’t want to reheat anything and want to try it fresh. Will order those items next time! Thank you ❤️“

“Top Round Carry-Out was solid. Casual, no-frills vibe with a quick, friendly feel. The sandwiches and roast beef were flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. Service was efficient and straightforward. Perfect spot for a quick, hearty meal on the go.“

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

“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.“

“Brunch was delicious and the sculpture garden was lovely.“

“For as expensive as it can be to order food for a family from here, we do expect warm and fresh food. our food was barely room tempature and definitely old fries. The ice cream had hair in it. This place has gone down hill fast. Would not recommend.“

“Wow!!!!! Cannot say enough great things about this place. Stopped in for an hour or so before my train and had an incredible time. Drew and the bar staff are the nicest people around. I would have gladly missed my train and stayed longer if I could. Ask for the “Bohtini” — IYKYK.

The board from Homicide (filmed across the street) was a great touch as well. I will be back!!!“

“We came from out of town to visit and WOW…. Meal was delicious! Wings were spot on and the service was excellent! Highly recommend the crab soup and Philly cheesesteak also!!!“

“Food was delicious, fresh, inexpensive, AND gratuity was included in the price. We got a delicious spicy chicken sandwich, perfect French fries with tiger sauce, and delicious beets and yogurt. The tomato sandwich was ok. Both Chachi’s and the nextdoor bar Fadensonnen share a vision; you can tell whoever created these places really fleshed out their idea with a lot of care.“

“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.“

“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. 😋“

“Last night, my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with dinner at Charleston in Baltimore—and it truly may have been the dining experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was astounding: perfectly curated ambiance, gracious and attentive service, and a beautifully paced tasting menu. Every dish was a revelation, from the wine pairing thoughtfully selected to complement each course, to the impeccable presentation and exquisite flavors. The staff made the evening feel utterly seamless and special. It was our first visit to Charleston, and it stands out as the perfect place to mark such a milestone. Thank you to everyone—from the kitchen team to our servers—for creating such a memorable, delightful evening. A hearty thank you for making our 20th anniversary absolutely perfect“

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

“Of all of the Atwaters in MD this one is my favorite. It has so much charm and it is quaint. It is great for solo or group breakfast or lunch. I really love that they change their beverages with the season. They also offer local jams/preserves, pastries, kombucha and kimchi. It is easy to drift away here with a latte and book for hours.“

“Almost a 5 star rating. very close. The staff was fun an attentive, the atmosphere is the type of dive bar I appreciate. And the food was good, but not great.

The fried pickle BLT was good an I would order it again, but this is crab territory, the crab dip should have been better. I would NOT order that again.

But, the pickle BLT ... 100% ... order it.“

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

“ALWAYS delicious! wonderful friendly staff, & even better food!“

“is it a Spanish joint now?“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“first time ordering from here food was good not supposed have it but got it anyway scrapple very good“

“My husband and I had not been here in a while. Went in at 10:30 am on 2/08/25, and I was craving lunch food. They had no issues prepping our lunch and the young man who waited on us was very nice, polite and answered my questions. Food was good and dining room was very clean.“

“Glad I finally tried this place after being recommended a couple times. Went with two coworkers. All our food was really good. The service is what makes me want to go back.
Good breakfast or lunch spot for a quick bite.

Parking: Limited parking but I’ve always gotten a spot.“

“The grits are PERFECT! Huge amount and cooked pt perfection! Creamy, buttery. Just delicious! Priced just right!“

“Jake's is a staple in that area. The proprietor's are friendly, very well mannered, pleasant to interact with. The food is above average for it's venue....and the Staff are pleasant and attentive to your request and preparation interest and dislikes. One of my GoTo's when I'm in the area.“

“I had fried chicken and French fries, and it was exactly how I like it. It was well done and well-seasoned. Actually, it was the best and had it twice in a row. He listened to what I wanted, and he made it happened.“
