Chucks Trading Post

Really nice small place for breakfast and lunch. Has a sort of small rustic diner vibe. Went with a buddy for lunch. The waitstaff is very attentive and polite. Prices are very reasonable.I got the Reuben. It was really good. Accompanying side of chips.The streets are pretty tight in the area so if you're driving I highly suggest grabbing the nearest parking spot and then just walking the remaining few short blocks.When we're in the area again we'll no doubt come back.

A favorite coffee shop was closed on Tuesdays so we decided to keep walking on 36th to Chuck's. As others have written, this spot is off the beaten path. Arrived close to closing time so we ordered to-go.Rustic interior with mixed/outdoor seating and a home turned into a restaurant.A small refrigerated grocery section offering produce, milk, soft drinks and Beer. We ordered the Pimlico skillet-Confit mushrooms played nicely with the eggs and spinach, The Reuben-any time I see "house....." it's a good sign. House braised corned beef made for a tasty sandwich. The pancakes oh the pancakes-don't know and don't need to know what they put in the batter but these cakes stole the show. Homemade berry compote took it over the top but these cakes were fine alone- no syrup necessary-delicious.Service was friendly and engaged. They have weekly specials posted on their website. Hampden hidden gem is an understatement! We will be back!

I don't know why it took me so long to make it to Chuck's. I had always heard great things about this spot which is located off the beaten path in Hampden. We came in for breakfast on my birthday which was on a Sunday. This spot is definitely very popular! We waited for about 20 minutes before we were seated which was no problem since we enjoyed some coffees while we waited. The inside is a classic diner set up with bar seating, dining room seating, and lots of to-go goods like wine, beer, liquor, and even produce. They also have outdoor seating on a covered porch. We sat outside and ordered skillets which come with eggs and hash browns and a variety of other toppings that you can either build yourself or select from a menu of enticing options. I had trouble deciding myself so I chose to build my own with bacon, tomato, red peppers, and onions. My boyfriend got the Spaniard skillet which comes with chorizo that he enjoyed. They also have a house hot sauce that was pretty good. In addition to the skillet, I ordered a side of cheesy grits which was one of the largest serving of grits I've ever seen and came loaded with so much cheese. It was delicious!On this particular day, food took a little while to come out and it seemed like others experienced long wait times as well. I'm sure it's just because their kitchen is small and it was so busy that day. Other than that, service was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back to Chuck's for breakfast and to work remotely on their deck. I've also heard their burger night on Wednesday is great too.

Honestly, we walked in expecting the full menu, but it looks like Wednesdays are burger nights! And it was absolutely delicious. I had the smash burger and my girl had El Chapo - both absolutely hit the spot. Burger + fries + beer for $15, you really can't go wrong here.

I ordered a to-go order online and went to pick it up in the store. The shop has a very rustic decor to it. Makes you feel like an old wester saloon. For my food, I'll start off with saying the sandwich had an amazing flavor --- until I noticed little micro fibers of some sort on my sandwich bread. I have been noticing restaurants are using a utensil or cloth of some sort on their grill that leaves a residue behind on food. There are little strings if you look closely at your bread. If it's on the bread, then it's probably on everything else that gets cooked on the grill and we just can't see itThis cannot be safe or healthy. I plan on bringing it to their attention, as I got my order to go.

This place was highly recommended by friends when we were driving through Baltimore. Loved this place. Large variety of boozy lattes, good beer selection, great food and lovely outdoor front porch seating. Our server was friendly and make good recommendations, including the fresh fruit side. My dog, husband, and I would recommend.

I love their burgers and beer selection!This is a cool little spot in hampden with street parking. They are usually only open for brunch but they have burger night one night a week They have burger and beer night on Wednesday and it's 15$ The service is great- they are efficient and the food is amazing. It's beautiful inside like a little rustic cottage vibe with a wall of wines. They also have a nice little porch with two tables.

A local staple in Hamden for a good reason. Chuck is the place to go if you want good service, good food, good drinks, good coffee, and people who will remember you. Every time we come to Chuck's, it feels like we're stepping into Home. To make you feel special. Cozy and compact it truly does feel like you're coming to grandmas house.

So. Good. Don't sleep in on Chuck's!We had some friends in town and needed a large table to fit our kids and friends for Saturday Brunch, and emailed the crew at Chuck's Trading Post 48 hours ahead of time or so. They were more than accommodating, and had the table ready to go when we arrived, and we were sadly like 10 minutes late (I hate that!). They were so attentive and good with the kids, it was really a great experience. The food was absolutely awesome. Creative dishes that you just don't see anywhere else! I had the Mush Mush adding Pork Belly. They should have called this the MUST Mush because it was so delicious, everyone needs to try it! Chuck's Trading Post has a divey almost western sort of vibe, and offers a variety of "bodega" -like items that it would seem neighbors could pop in and purchase. Speaking of neighbors, that was one of the most surprising things, having a 36th Street address in Hampden, you might expect to be on The Avenue fighting off hipsters and circling for parking, but Chuck's is a few blocks West of there, so you are safe and free to feel right at home. Highly recommend you check out Chuck's Trading Post!

Chucks trading post just kept popping up on my yelp. Photos of beautiful burgers kept calling my name. I finally answered the call as I am currently on a quest to find the best burger in Baltimore City. I will say the website says burger night is on Wednesday between 3-7. However, it's actually from 5-8 when the restaurant reopens at 5. I didn't arrive until about 4:40 and it was a nice day so no problems with the wait. The staff was outside and were really nice about letting people know the restaurant didn't open until 5. It was not super crowded when we got there but the traffic picked up quickly. I ordered the smash burger which came with an order of fries and a beer. It was 15 bucks. You cannot beat that with an ugly stick. The burger did not disappoint. I would gladly go back and try another burger. The spot was chill and very low key. My kind of vibe. The service was great, the price was great, and the burger was great. What's not to love? I'll be back.
