Swill By Blacksmiths

Came here on a recent visit for a birthday brunch. Let me say that the vibes were immaculate. From the layout to decor. To the service and ambiance. While here I had the Hot honey crispy chicken sandwich. The portion was great for the price and the flavor was amazing. Crispy and juicy, I tore the sandwich down. Sorry no pics. hahaha. I washed my sandwich down with a delicious House punch. It has ginger; pineapple and carrot juices. I partook in another drink but the name was escapes me. It was equally as good. I've definitely recommended this spot a few times over since my visit. You should visit too! SYOY!

Friendly employees Rapid customer servicePeaceful and relaxing atmosphere Many options to choose from.Will surely be re visiting

Such a cute BOB in Pigtown.When we arrived we were the only customers and service was great and attentive. The decor is super cute. With great black art. The music was a vibe. They do not serve alcohol at the time but i was told you can bring your own. The food was ok. I got the catfish po boy . I enjoyed the vibes most of all and would definitely return for one of their events .

Swill my neighborhood spot! Great Breakfast! Incredible evening offerings!? A place of comfort and familiar feelings! Feel like I'm at a relatives place when I eat here and I love it! Service is commendable and extremely kind. The art in this place is captivating. The plants make you feel like you connected with the earth! It's quite beautiful, an elegant touch to the PigTown neighborhood.

So on my weekly adventure to support local businesses I found myself at Swill on Washington Blvd. it's nice location not too far from the highway & downtown. It's on a residential street so parking can be a little tricky. But I was in lucky & found a spot across the street in front of the church. Upon walking in the place is lovely nice beautiful romantic quiet little intimate place perfect for a brunch/breakfast date. My waitress was excellent soon as I was seated she was on her job & never stop until I was walking out. The menu is full of little tasty delights & reviewing the pictures on here made it even harder for me to decide. I elected to go with the honey old bay chicken sandwich. I must say it was truly delicious my only issue was unfortunately like so many other places lately it was not a chicken breast just 3 tenders placed on a bun. But other than that little thing for $10 this plus the potato wedges was more than enough reason to return

I think this place has ALOT of potential. The food was so flavorful and delicious I just couldn't stop eating. I'd get the chicken and waffles every single time if I could!! The service was just a little disorganized. It wasn't clear whether we should be def seating or waiting to be sat. Also wasn't clear whether this was a place where there's table service or you order at the counter. It was about 15 mins before we figured out what was going on. These were all very minor and easily fixable!! I'll definitely be back...especially for those potatoes

Fell in love with this beautiful black woman owned cafe! In the heart of Pigtown! It's such a welcoming atmosphere. The service was fantastic. My family and I felt cared for by the owner and servers! That's the kind of place I'd keep coming back to, especially because the food was fantastic!! I forgot to take pics our food was so delicious. Had the breakfast sandwich and the shrimp and fried grits. I've never had fried grits before but these were delicious! The flavors were on point for everything! I look forward to returning! They are BYOB for now and have happy hour. I think some Sundays they have a DJ.

My first visit was as a party of three. We were seated right way as we had reservations. The wait staff was attentive and came over quite often to check on us in the beginning and then toward the end of our time there we noticed that we didn't see much of him, not sure what that was. As for our food, I had a breakfast platter and I was disappointed. I had two scrambled eggs, beef sausage, brioche bread toast and potatoes. With my toast I asked for butter and strawberry jam and when it arrived it didn't have strawberry jam or butter on the side so I asked for that again it took a little too long and I was hungry so I said OK I'll just go ahead and use this grape jelly. My bread was stuck together so when I pulled the bread apart I was surprised to see it had already been buttered and the jelly had already been applied. Unfortunately, because of that- my toast arrived soggy. I've never been to a restaurant where they butter it for you and put the jam on for you. I found that very strange. Also, my sausage was cold. One person in my party had the creamy pesto with shrimp they liked it the other person had some chicken wings and they had the crab dip. The entire time the two people in my party were complaining about their eyes burning/stinging. I didn't have that problem until about 15 minutes before we were about to leave I started to experience it too. One member of my party had to get up and actually walk outside because the stinging and burning was too much. The two people in my party ordered peach Bellini's and they liked them. I ordered the better than OJ and didn't care for it at all. I did enjoy the drip coffee, I had 2 cups with oat milk creamer-very, very, very good; it definitely did not disappoint. As for the ambience I thought it was cute. Both of the walls along the sides of the restaurant lined with original artwork from different artists and each one has the name of the piece and the sales price. The entire time we were there we had to swat away flies and we mentioned it to the staff they didn't seem to really care but the flies were definitely problematic.

Initially looking for a black resataurant Valentine to take my mom & guest, had reservasimce many restaurants were booked. Despite not seeing much vegetarian options on the menu, we headed off. We arrived early for our 6pm reservation and noone (hostess) was there to greet us. The restaurants had 2 tables full, surprisingly empty. Waited 10 min at the front wo being greeted, looked over the menu, which was basically sandwich and burger. Wasn't my expectation. So decided to leave and find a last minute restaurants.Upon leaving bumped into a lady who asked about our reservation and replied there was a an emergency and unfortunately apologized for not being able to accommodate our reservation. The decor is beautifully displayed artwork and open, would like to see the kitchen stretch its wings further w/ a more creative menu, will try at another time to come back.

I have found a new favorite hangout. I started going to Swill a little over a month ago and although I live in Pikesville I cannot seem to pull away from the great food and chill atmosphere. The old bay wings and salmon/Kale are the best, and the drinks are strong. Just like I like them. Chef Heather Smith is amazing. Support black owned business!
