Mouthwatering Comfort Food in Baltimore

Hampden Yards Beer Garden

★★★★☆ 4 (23)

"I've been wanting to visit here since it first opened & finally was in the area during their business hours.Seating is open and there weren't many people there besides a reserved party. This place gives backyard party vibes. I ordered the Hampden Wooder Ice drink.Service was quick.Enjoyed this drink and like the ice they use (it's like Chic Fil A ice, for reference)Wish they had some seating with backs. There were only picnic table benches & bar stools."

City Limits Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (72) • $$

"Staff was super friendly, greeted us and seated us as soon as we walked in. Overall service was really good, the waiter answered all of our questions. The tables are distanced and have the QR scanner codes on them for the menu. They offer outside seating. The food was good, it is American bar food; burgers, wings, fries, etc... they give you a lot for the price. This would be a good place to come watch a sports game, they have tons of TVs around the bar. They also offer lots of drinking options and have games."

The Lodge Pasadena

★★★★☆ 4 (23)

"Let me start off by saying that this place is amazing!! The food is great and I love the atmosphere (quiet and intimate). The music they listen is good as well. I have been there several times already and did not have one waitress that I did not like.. all of them are so nice and helpful. My family went again on New Years Eve... our waitress this time was Ashley was sooo friendly and attentive she gave us great ideas for our dinner. My favorite drink there is the spiced pear martini.. The bar manager Richard came out the table and was very insightful about the drink menus. That was not the 1st time I have spoken to Richard about the drink menu seems to care about what people think about the drinks that come from the bar. I wish I had taken pictures of the food and drinks to show how delicious they look.. if you get a chance try the fried green tomatoes by far my favorite app."

England Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10)

"Reviews for this place pop up on my Instagram timeline all the time. I finally decided to give them a try and babyyyyyyyy they did not disappoint.I stopped in on a Wednesday around 6:30. There were no other customers there but in the short time I waited for my food, about 3 or 4 customers came in to order. I planned to order my food to go but although empty, I could feel the vibes so I dined inside. I went with the stuffed salmon, collard greens and Mac and cheese were my sides. I also ordered a side of sweet potatoes because I could smell cinnamon/soul food the minute I walked through the door. My first bite was the collard greens, so was my second, third and forth. I couldn't stop! Then I tried the stuffed salmon, perfection!!! I almost ordered it without the old bay aioli because I was nervous about it making the salmon too salty. I'm glad I ordered as is. It is BOMB!! It's stuffed, really stuffed, possibly with a whole nice size crab cake on top, in addition to the crab meat inside the fish. Next bite was the Mac and cheese. Gosh it was so flavorful. I'd like it a little cheesier but I'm still ordering again on my next visit. Lastly was the sweet potatoes. Divine!!! So good! They were more like mashed sweet potatoes which I love! And listen .... If they add sweet potato pie to the menu and use the same recipe as they do for the sides .... My lord!! Take my money! Heading back to try the stuffed lamb chops, potato salad and the brunch menu. I glanced quickly and the first thing I saw was "The Notorious T-Bone", t- bone steak, cheese eggs and welch's grape. Stop playing with meeeee Highly recommend!! Already told friends!"

"Great Food Always & good Service and the Catering Service is Excellent!!Their Bakery is so good and they do Custom Cakes too!"

Homestyle Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (11) • $$

"Aside from now having many vegetarian options all of their items are cooked to order. They even suggested making a pot pie for me without chicken which means everything is really made to order based on your needs and tastes.I ended up ordering the haddock sandwich and the seasoning was quite delicious though the sandwich overall was quite messy. When I ordered the sandwich they said it came with cole slaw and a pickle so I assumed the cole slaw came on the side but when the sandwich came out the slaw was on top which gave the sandwich a lot of flavor but made for one messy sandwich and no utensils were provided.The person who took my order was extremely friendly and complimented all of the food on the menu and did so it a truly authentic way - it was obvious that he really liked everything! Overall the food was pretty tasty, the options seemed to fit the name of the restaurant."

Mali Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (222) • $$

"This restaurant was a wonderful hidden gem that I stumbled upon! Some family members and I were headed to my nieces play close by and looking for dinner before the show . This place was perfect. Really cute inside and lovely staff. Food was great. I got Pad See Ew, delicious. Others had drunken noodles , pad king , and other dishes. Everything was so good!"

Corned Beef King Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"I enjoy everything about this place. The sandwiches are huge and delicious. The chili Mac is filling and tasty. The corned beef egg rolls are a must. On top of everything being delicious, the prices are more than reasonable. This is a must go to spot. The same goes for the Rockville location."

"Catfish and grits is the best I have ever had, I mean wow. I have had many things from here that have basically all been great, and the people here are great as well!"

Uncle Matty's Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (78) • $$

"My friends and I drove up from Laurel, MD to visit the Strawbridge Shrine (review coming soon) outside of New Windsor. We had a whole list of potential lunch spots for when we left there; two in New Windsor and some on the way back to Laurel. We ended up choosing UME because of the bigger variety of food on offer and we were so glad we went!Parking is free, on the street. There are probably times you'd have to park farther but we arrived just as they opened at 11 so it was easy.Décor is fun - like a diner I might have gone to as a child in the 60's. The "public face" who seated us (they actually told me this) is the most welcoming and affable person, who grasped our lady date vibe immediately and was just as fun as the place. I will warn you right off - too many amazing sounding choices on the menu! Also, it pays to ask for more detailed info: I don't like horseradish and it turns out the tiger sauce on the Matty Melt is made with that. Our person (I never caught their name, dangit!) offered to customize by having it made with plain mayo. Sold! So, C ordered the cheesesteak sub, E chose the turkey bacon ranch panini, and I did get the Matty Melt, sans horseradish. We each cut our sammie in half, then a half in half again, then shared all around. For those of you who don't want to math, we each had 1/4 of the other two flavors, plus 1/2 of our own and it was a delightful sampler!All of the ingredients were so fresh and so flavorful. The lettuce on them was not wilted like shredded lettuce can get so easily. Tomato bursting with flavor, crispy bacon, and the steak! wow! We all turned down chips or other starches, but we each got a dill spear which was tasty. Even sharing out the food, it was too much for me for one meal so I have lunch for tomorrow :DPrices are right in line with any other casual dining experience. $14.99 for a really good hoagie or panini is perfect. We treated our friend and split the rest of the bill in half, so it was less than $30 for me. Toss in the cash tip which happily C always does, too, and it was still only $40! I often say this but I'm very serious - if it wasn't so far from home, since I'm not in Laurel but 20 minutes from there - I would make the trek again and again to eat here. And you know what, I might just do it anyway! I have loads of time when g'kids are in school and I could easily drive up just for lunch... Hmmm."

Rips Country Inn

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (384) • $$

"Locals recommend we must dine here when we're in town. Very cool place inside. Liked the little bar area. No problem with service I'm sure at least five different people attended to our needs. The soups were just ok. The Maryland crab was more vegetables than crab. The cream of crab was tasty and full of crab. Just too thick for me. The sandwiches were just ok. The turkey was good and enjoyed the green beans and the stuffing. It's an ok place"

Darker Than Blue Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (73)

"The person answering the phone to take reservations is extremely rude! Should've went with my gut but we went anyway and I will say the food was pretty good! The server was not friendly, didn't smile .. just blah! I don't see why so many ppl keep coming to a place that CLEARLY does not need customers because if they did they would treat us with a little more respect and kindness.So sad to see them turn away soo many parties of 2 because they didn't have a reservation. The restaurant had 3 other couples that's it. I would love to come back to try different items in the menu but I can't deal with the rudeness of the staff / owner. Not worth it. All of the negative reviews I read are spot on!!!! Smh"

Charlene's Bar & Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (26)

"My husband and I were attending a concert at Howard University and decided to grab some food before the event. The place was cozy and nice that evening. It's located on the second floor. The food was delicious I had some wings and my husband had the brisket sandwich. Cornbread was good too. We had some alcoholic drinks and it had a good kick."

SoBo Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (472) • $$

"Sadly, I was disappointed with my dinner experience at SoBo Cafe. The cafe itself feels much more like a bar, which is cool, but the quality of food for the style of dishes in context with the atmosphere felt mismatched.My favorite dishes were the crab soup and the smith island cake. The crab soup was pretty good, with lumps of crab. The smith island cake was moist with good chocolate icing... although as you can see in the photos, the layers of the yellow cake inside weren't even, and the chocolate was clumped in some areas. Nitpicking, yea- but keep in mind this is a $10 piece of cake. The Peruvian roasted chicken was okay- it was cooked well and had decent flavor, although a bit overpowered by the dressing. The sides with it were just okay and nothing great. Cornbread very just okay and dry at parts. I would've ordered this dish for $15, but not $29.Now unfortunately for the worst parts. Being Italian, I am particular when it comes to meatballs- although there have been times Ive enjoyed ordering meatballs in restaurants. This was not one of those times. The meatballs were inedible for me.My friend didn't mind them, but she also likes the meatballs from Subway... and she even acknowledged that they weren't that good, which says a lot.The brussels sprouts were weird. I have never had orange slices and creamy aioli-like dressing with warm brussels sprouts and goat cheese for good reason: it's not very good. This was an extremely odd combination that our waiter did recommend ordering the broccoli instead (probably would've been a good choice), but for some reason I didn't imagine fully what the appetizer would be. I'm not usually big on making a point about price, but the dishes at SoBo were way over priced for their quality. Yes, they are elaborate and technically high end style dishes worthy of higher price points, but the quality and execution of these dishes are so lacking that the price points cannot be justified. At $95 per person, dinner at SoBo Cafe was far from satisfactory. It wasn't the worst meal, but for how everything was priced, I cannot give this restaurant more than three stars.I do not include service in my rating, but our waiter also wasn't the best or most attentive. He had the attitude of a bartender who would rather be doing something else."

Our Recipes Cafe & Catering

★★★★★ 4.8 (114) • $$

"Have you ever wondered what clean food taste like? if you don't know you need to go to Our Recipes Café! The food is extremely delicious because it's so fresh and lovingly prepared,in my heart I believe they have a farm in the back back of the restaurant with organically, fed cows, chickens, and organically, grown fruits and vegetables!Look, stop reading this review and get to this cafe as soon as you can, it's worth the trip. I should know, I traveled from DC to eat here and will do so again in a heartbeat!"

Diner On The Go

★★★☆☆ 3 (20)

"Our agency allowed this food truck into the campus this past week and I decided to try it out... I wasn't sure what to expect from this option as we've never seen it on-site. Due to me going out to the truck late, I wasn't able to order items I was interested in from their online menu. I ended up ordering the lamb gyro. The owner seemed really sweet and apologized repeatedly for running out of options especially since I couldn't even get the side of fries. They did give me some chips to replace this though, which was thoughtful. I have to say it looked appealing & the portion was very filling. The taste to me was satisfying! I enjoyed everything about the gyro & would recommend this option to anyone who would enjoy. Hopefully when they return I can try the other options."

Taqueria Los Primos - Walkersville

★★★★☆ 4.4 (31)

"For a dining establishment inside a gas station, this taco joint is great. You can get 4 mixed tacos for $14 and a bottle of Jarritos for $3. My favorite is the chorizo taco, which was packed with flavor. The cow tongue and steak tacos was delicious as well. My only complaints were that there was only 1-2 pieces of shrimp in the shrimp tacos and the chicken taco was a bit of the drier end. The also have a condiment station where you can get more salsa, sauces, and toppings for your tacos. The service was pretty fast. The tacos came out after 5 minutes of ordering them. I would definitely come back here to try the other menu items!"

"Wow, it's been a minute since my first visit, but let me tell you, this place is the real deal! You gotta run, not walk, to experience it for yourself! I recently celebrated my good good girlfriend's birthday here and everything was absolutely amazing. The service was top-notch, I mean GREAT! The food was out of this world, DELICIOUS! And the creativity in every dish was simply AMAZING! We had a blast with the bubbly flowing, delicious food, and endless laughs! It was truly an unforgettable experience. Trust me, you won't regret it! Tell them T-Mac sent ya!"

"I'm not sure where to begin. By far, the BEST service I've received in this area (Wolfgang Puck's restaurant in Hawaii would compare)We came in here on a whim for our Anniversary to try the Tomahawk steak and couldn't have been happier. The environment was homey with comfortable seating and a lot of home photos. We were seated with Stacie who immediately welcomed us, explained the menu, told us the specials, and cracked some jokes. She really made us feel at home and gave us sufficient time to review the menu in case we wanted to try anything else. We did decide on the Tomahawk and she let us know it would be 45 minutes but she would keep us updated and it would be carved table side. We elected to try the deviled eggs which she recommended and explained to us that the breading and sauce were the same used in the Buttermilk Chicken Sando. These eggs were FIRE! I told her I would be coming back to try the sandwich, and think it would be awesome with the deviled egg filling on top! Next up, she gave us some cornbread since we still had a while to wait and it was a perfect intermission! She kept us updated every so often and made sure our drinks stayed full. She would stop by to check on us or make general conversation. Finally she said the Tomahawk was on the way! I asked if I could video and she said they love it! The steak melted in our mouths and was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Everything we ate was just delicious. The experience was truly bar none and the food was absolutely amazing. I would eat here again and hope I could get Stacie back! I did listen to the other servers while we were waiting and they all seemed to be amazing. I know others on here feel this place is on the pricey side, however I did some research on the cost of a Tomahawk before we came in and I'm satisfied with what we spent. This definitely has more upscale vibes with the service and food but you won't feel out of place if you dine in jeans!"

Founders Tavern & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (582) • $$

"I have been to Founders a few times now and have enjoyed the service, food, and drinks here!Out on errands and need to fuel up, this is a go to for sure as service is prompt and friendly without compromise to the quality of the food. I can't get enough of the spring chicken sandwich. Oh, and the fries here... liken the replica of Thrasher's in OC, no?! And the drinks?! I've not had one that wasn't strong!Glad this is an option whenever I'm in the area and a halfway point for friends and I. Lunch or dinner, Founders is fantastic!"

The Owl's Nest Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"When you drive up, you don't think this place is a restaurant, but you will be pleasantly surprised once you stop in. Great menu selection available for everyone. Everything from hamburgers to oyster poboy. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Pricing is reasonable and food portions are fantastic. Surprisingly they do not accept tips!!"

Julep Southern Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (566) • $$

Miss Toya’s Creole House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (618)

"I experienced Miss Toya's Creole House the first time recently. I loved the music and aesthetic of the restaurant! A lot of space for big parties if you choose to go in a big group. I just went with my aunt! My Aunt got the sangria which was huge and she said very delicious it had a popsicle at the top for decoration which we thought was cute. I had the shrimp and grits and it was so good very flavorful the grits alone were too good but with the shrimp it took it to a whole different level! And it tastes good the next day I definitely recommend the shrimp and grits. I cannot wait to go back and try more items off their menu! Our server was so sweet and very attentive!"

"Goodness, I think if I could eat the red beans & rice from Puddin everyday I would be set for life. This dish was so filling and a great portion size. I love that it was seasoned to perfection and the red bean and rice ratio was on point. Puddin is one of the businesses within Union Market doing their thang! The employees were very friendly and helpful when I stopped by. I would highly recommend the red beans and rice and their bread pudding it's so so goood. Support this Black owned business, they are holding it down with the southern food within the NoMa area. Thank you!"

Ordered the original steak large and the pounder. The pounder was good for like 3 meals. My nephew wanted the old bay wings and old bay always hits. They also had kid options grilled cheese and tenders. The grilled cheese looked really good that my niece ate. Next time would try the cheeze wiz just bc."
