The National Aquarium is a must-visit landmark featuring captivating marine-life exhibits, an exciting dolphin show, and a thrilling shark tank. Visitors can also explore a walk-through rainforest for an immersive experience. Located near the World Trade Center, visitors are required to follow specific traffic patterns for safe entry and exit. Health measures such as wearing face coverings and completing screening questionnaires are in place. Additionally, one-way traffic flow and social distancing measures are enforced throughout the building.
Our family had a great time at the National Aquarium. There was a lot to do and see. They kept people moving in one direction which made it easy to navigate so you can see everything. The food was good, but it was a little dirty. The animals seemed like they were treated well and the areas were clean. The staff was very friendly and told us about different exhibits and what to look for. I would definitely recommend going here and look forward to our next trip.

We went for the first time and we choose labor day to go. It actually wasn't that bad. We had no wait to get in. But some of the exhibits had a crowd before you could get to see it decently. We did not do any of the experiences or were we able to see the dolphins though we did try. They were being feed when we were there and we didn't wait long enough to see them. If you have anyone in your group that has mobility issues and needs to use elevators they do have them and they can fit wheelchairs plus a person or two. They are not near where the other entrance to the floor is for those that do not have mobility problems. I say this for those who have parties of mixed capabilities. There is one area that those who cannot do stairs can access and that is the birds area. There is a way for wheelchairs to go through the area but there is 2 platforms that you can't get to. The aquarium was nice and the employees we came across were all friendly. The are some rather large attractions and lots of smaller ones just like any other aquarium or zoo. They have an area with horseshoe crabs and jellyfish that you can touch the animals. We were hoping that there was an area you can feed manta rays of something like it but they did not. We got to see how they clean some of the tanks and some of the divers that we found out that all the divers are volunteers. The guy made a joke saying that they work for free bottled air. Some of the tanks look difficult to clean so I don't envy them. They some frogs and birds and some other animals. I was not expecting to see any other animals but I thought it was cool. There are some really good views of the harbor as well. They have a spot that you can sit and rest while looking at the harbor. All in all we will probably go back and definitely recommend.

It was nice... I have been to aquariums with more variety... this one seems almost local species. A few empty habitats... the Jellyfish invasion is not impressive if you have seen them in other aquariums... some tanks looked like they were sick... dolphin shows are no more but you can sit and watch them... they mostly hung out in the back though, until the helpers came out to feed. That was cool. I agree with the stopping the shows and loved seeing them play. The rainforest was okay too... a couple of birds here an there... mostly just plant life with a cool water fall. Escalator was broke on one floor of the 4 floor exhibit. I think they have an elevator, they were not to informative about it though. We never looked into the Australian terrarium... chose to leave and do other things.

Had a mommy son day and it was just what was needed! Everything was clean and in order, not too many people on a school day so it was nice. Not too many lines, the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. My 8 year old stated it was his best day in forever ❤️ Thanks! I bought the membership and its already paid off but I can see him having us there a LOT!

The design of this aquarium is very unique. I have visited many aquariums across the country. Like the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, the Long Beach Aquarium in CA, and the Mall of America’s Aquarium. We went on a Sunday so it was super busy but getting our tickets online was a smart move. The layout of this aquarium is pretty unique and it can be actually quite confusing. Thankfully we had a friend who has been to this one multiple times and knew his way around. I do like the open design to the main attraction and the escalators to next level. That was very unusual to see. There was one escalator that was out of service but they had the service door for the stair propped open and someone standing there to help guide. Also another interesting thing was the rotating doors. I have never seen them being used inside of a facility. It was kind of annoying as only one person could go through it at a time. The best thing was all the aquatic creatures that they have. Those were a joy to watch and we got to talk to a knowledgeable guide that was showing off a turtle skull. She was fun to talk with and knew her stuff about the animals in the aquarium. I would go back for sure.

The aquarium closes fairly early, so I didnt have quite enough time to get through the entire place. It was beautiful. It was well laid out. The dolphin training was a surprise to see, but it was so cool to see.

I love this aquarium, it takes about 2-3 hours to see everything without rushing. They have touch tanks that are fun for everyone and a lot of awesome exhibits. There are places to get food and drinks which is nice as well. Parking is decent and right in front of the aquarium. I normally go on the weekends and the crowds are not too bad.

American restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
Brunch restaurant
Miss Shirley's Cafe, located in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, is a unique dining spot known for its creative American cuisine with a regional twist. The cafe caters to various dietary needs, including gluten-free options that don't compromise on flavor. Featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, it has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The family-friendly atmosphere and diverse menu make it a popular choice for breakfast and lunch.
Fantastic! We picked this place on a whim looking for one of the best brunch spots in Baltimore and we were very happy with the selection. Once we arrived, we saw how much acclaim Miss Shirley's has received, such as from Restaurant Hospitality Magazine and Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I can see why! To start, I really enjoyed the pimento cheese biscuit and the Shirley's Crush cocktail was quite refreshing. For my main, I went with the Southern Slammer Sandwich, which already sounded good but I couldn't pass up a winner of the best breakfast sandwich in America according to Restaurant Hospitality Magazine. Absolutely delicious. I loved the simple ingredients yet their flavor together was unforgettable. A great sandwich and not overly heavy in my opinion. The stone ground grits were incredible as well. Ester provided great service during our brunch. It sounds like we got pretty lucky with a 30 minute wait as we heard it can get pretty busy. Definitely worth the wait!

This place has a very interesting menu, it can be a bit much. We went here for breakfast on a Friday morning. We where able to be seated immediately. The parking situation is ok, good luck finding street parking. There is a parking lot behind the building that is connected to the building. You can get a voucher for a discount on parking. I was lucky enough to find street parking. On to the food. The food is pretty good, I personally believe it can be a bit too much. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, they where breaded excellently, they lacked salt, the sauce on them was ok, I thought they put too little relish under them but it was really good. I ordered the gravy train skillet, the chicken tenders where super dry however the collards where delicious, the grits, where delicious, the gravy was ok, i think the egg just added too much to it. My aunt ordered the Fresh garden omelet, she enjoyed it. My father got the southern slammer sandwich, he said he enjoyed it.

Saturday Brunch here with my wife and our son and daughter in law. The food was high quality and wonderfully flavored. I had the Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes with A Scrambled Eggs w/ Cheese and the Cranberry Maple Turkey Sausage. The family had various omelets and everything was delicious. Truly a wonderful dining experience.

9/12/2025 at 11:00am Everything was perfect, from the start we had a friendly welcome, the host was amazing and very knowledgeable. Our server was very friendly and patient with our 3 kids. All the food we ordered felt fresh and homemade, it was delicious. Personally today I had one of the best breakfast I've had in 34 countries and 26 states from this beautiful country I have visited and of course I have many great experiences, so I add today dish to 1 of the 10 best breakfasts due to the unique and diverse flavor of this dish (Fried chicken biscuit & and gravy omelet ) the name don't mention all the other ingredients, I recommend this dish 100%

Come here as we were in Baltimore early and it was open for breakfast. Great it had a separate vegan menu and kids menu. Friendly and helpful service. Kids portion is very generous! The Vegan pancakes where a little dry but alright. No restaurant toilet. Prices are quite high.

I have been to Miss Shirley’s Cafe many times and always enjoyed taking visitors to this staple location. No longer a local, I was in town for a concert with friends. We had brunch and I was beyond impressed on how the server and manager took my friend’s allergies so seriously. Not only did they ask about any allergies, they informed us how the food was going to be prepared - changing of gloves and a different griddle. My friend was elated about those accommodations and the food was delicious. I ordered the Chicken and Cheddar Cheese Green Onion Waffles and couldn’t pass up the Fried Green Tomatoes. The portions were great, server was friendly and attentive. Highly Recommend!
Sive D — Google review
Miss Shirley’s doesn’t take reservations, so be ready to wait in a live line — usually about 15–20 minutes. But honestly, it moves fast enough, and it’s worth it. By American standards, the breakfast here is very solid. The interior is simple, nothing fancy, but the service is exceptionally warm and welcoming. And the food — classic American comfort breakfast — is flavorful, hearty, and absolutely worth trying. Expect to pay around $20 per dish, whether you go for the salmon Eggs Benedict or the fluffy pancakes. Both are satisfying and perfectly prepared. Overall, it’s a great spot for a cozy, tasty start to the day.

First time.. came from a tiktok recommendation! Food was decent, I wouldn't go back for 2nd. Nice outside view to sit and eat. Its more on the pricey side here! Server was good! My friend did not like the egg whites, it was corrected but still wasn't to her liking. The manager did come by a follow-up which was nice.

The Gallery

Permanently Closed
Shopping mall
The Gallery is a vibrant dining, entertainment, and shopping complex situated on Baltimore's Inner Harbor. It features two glass-enclosed marketplaces: the Light Street Pavilion with food courts and restaurants, and the Pratt Street Pavilion mainly dedicated to retail stores. Visitors can enjoy waterfront dining at over a dozen restaurants such as The Cheesecake Factory and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Additionally, there are specialty shops offering unique souvenirs like Destination Baltimore and McCormick World of Flavors.
Lots a shops with interesting items. Great place to hang out in the evening and listen to music as you sit by the water. Lots of people but not really crowded too bad. The candy shop was fun with interesting choices. There are several restaurants to choose from mostly sea food but there were some others. Coffee/ice cream shop across the street which was delicious. The bbn oat rides add to the ambiance as well as the fun. We had a great evening adventure.

A quiet gallery with a shopping center there in yet the tourist movement is rather small. We spend about ten minutes taking a short break finding no specific goods or items of interest. We begin to understand the life if a small town.

Very clean and a great selection of goods and stores I had to get a Pittsburgh steeler Jersey here and they had it so I could wear to the game.

The Gallery Mall as of Tuesday is closed permanently to the public. There will be no access to The Gallery from the Renaissance Hotel or The “Charm’tastic Mile”. The retail crown jewel that opened in 1987 is gone. Thank you for the wonderful memories that it has given to millions of patrons that walked through the doors for almost 35-years.

Small but upscale mall. Very convenient if you are staying in the inner harbor but not many choices shopping wise. Seems like there's lots of empty space here, and a few stores were having going out of business sales, so who knows how long this will even be around.

I work in this buildings office complex, so perhaps I'm a bit biased. The shops in here are touristy at best and very overpriced. It's also not the safest place to be recently. I'd suggest going to Harbor East if you're in Bmore and want to do shopping or get something to eat.

Sights & Landmarks

Arenas & Stadiums
Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore is a renowned stadium where the Baltimore Orioles play. It was designed by architecture firm Populous and completed in 1992, setting the trend for retro ballparks and integrating a ballpark into the urban fabric. The stadium's location in downtown Baltimore, near the Inner Harbor, adds to its appeal.
Didn’t try and food here (I know—very unlike me), but the stadium atmosphere and vibes were great. Even on an incredibly hot and humid day, it was a great game. Got to see an incredible 18-0 win for the Orioles against the Rockies which was awesome to watch. Baseball games go by much faster with the shot clock. Stadium itself was nice—lots of history and they have marked home runs outside of the stadium which is cool. Seats are on the older side and could use some renovating though
Alex I — Google review
I fell in love with Oriole Park before even entering the stadium. Camden Yards has a friendly baseball vibe and wonderful atmosphere. The fans were respectful and pleasant. The stadium was clean and aesthetically appealing. The staff at this stadium were amazing. They went above and beyond to help fans with finding seats, concessions, and were patient with any questions or concerns. Everyone seemed happy to work at the stadium. I'm a Red Sox fan and I still felt welcomed in a visiting stadium. I enjoyed walking around the stadium both inside and out. They have some fun and vibrant sports bars outside the stadium as well. This is a must for any baseball fan. I will mention though that I was very disappointed that the stadium doesn't offer tours of the ballpark.

Oreo Park at Camden Yards is an absolutely beautiful ballpark! The seating is comfortable, the ushers are friendly and helpful, and the field itself is stunning. The views from just about anywhere in the park are fantastic, making it a great place to enjoy a game. That being said, the food and drink prices are way too high. It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost unaffordable for the average family, which really takes away from the experience. I’d gladly give this place five stars if the pricing was more reasonable.
Dan C — Google review
Never disappointing coming to Oriole Park! I've attended games here since I was a kid. It's one of the best ballparks in baseball. Very family friendly and all-around friendly. It was fun attending on Jim Palmer jersey night this year. The concessions prices are still comparably cheap, too. I will live and die as an Orioles fan. You can't clip these wings, Yanks. Let's go, O's!
Caleb U — Google review
One of the best ball parks around. Gates open about 60 minutes prior to first pitch on Weekdays (a little earlier on weekends). Get there early to experience the whole park. It's worth it. Nice play area on the first base side for the kids. Concessions are pricey but they do let you bring some of your own items in so long as it is in a clear small bag (no glass or aluminum drink containers). I brought in two plastic 20 oz cokes, two sandwiches and some small bags of chips. Be sure to check their policies page carefully in case their are changes. I bought a beer at the game... was 15.99.

I’m biased, but this is the prettiest ballpark in the League. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. The food options are plentiful. The ushers for games are knowledgeable and friendly and there is plenty of fan assistance as well. They continue to refresh and upgrade, keeping her looking beautiful.

Great night out for a baseball game! We had an injured person in our party and everyone was kind and accommodating! We were able to drop them off at the front and park nearby. Highly suggest purchasing the parking, it was well worth it. We got there early (2 hours ahead). We grabbed some great food at the crab cake stand. Crab sandwich and crab fries were very good. The crab shells were not good. It was a shell pasta stuffed with pasta, bartered and topped with hot honey. We didn’t care for it but everything was fine. It was a warm evening and I’m glad I brought a hand help fan. We had good seats section 29. It was a fun game and the fireworks show at the end was pretty good too. We got drinks and more snacks durning the game. I do wish they would add a few fans under the coverings to help move some air. That would be a great addition. Overall it was a great night out and we loved the venue. It was organized and easy to navigate with that large crowd.

Well, the only way to order is using their tablets, and someone really needs to clean those things once in a while. Also, the information on them is not very informative. I had to ask if the iced tea was sweet or unsweet, after I got someone's attention. The restrooms are locked and the code is supposed to be on your receipt except you don't really get a receipt. I tried the number on my text message, but I couldn't get it to work. Once I did get in, I found that they are in serious need of a cleaning, and a warning should be posted that the hot water is scalding hot. Condiments for the burgers are self serve. I got three ice cubes in my iced tea, and my food was cold. In general, it wasn't a great day to eat at this restaurant. But most of the staff were friendly and helpful.

There were 9 of us who were visiting Baltimore. We hit up Shake Shake because my sister and her family recommended it. I am glad they did. The staff was excellent. There was a guy working the floor who offered to help us. He was amazing and I wish I got his name but even after ordered he let us know our orders would be out soon and that if he can help in any way to just let him know. This was a first for me in a fast food joint. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger double. I can honestly say it was a great burger and would make me go back again. I also ordered the cherry limeade and sadly I got the small. I say sadly because it was so good. Next time I will order the large, calories be damned. The fries were excellent. Perfectly cooked crinkle cuts that were just perfectly cooked. I didn't have the fries with my meal but had some of my parties' fries and it made me regret not ordering fries of my own. My wife is gluten free and while they normally have gluten free buns they did not on this day but she opted for the lettuce wrapped burger. She loved it. My father, who is a picky eater at times, had the fried chicken sandwich. He was amazed at the quality and taste and proclaimed it on of the best chicken sandwiches he has had. This location has made me a Shake Shack fan. This was my first experience and the food was excellent and the service was great. We dined in and the food was fresh and delicious. Next time I am in the area this is the place I will eat.

American restaurant
Nestled just across from Camden Yards, Pickles Pub has been a beloved fixture in Baltimore since 1988, making it the ultimate destination for sports enthusiasts. This family-friendly establishment buzzes with energy on game days, drawing in passionate Orioles and Ravens fans who gather to enjoy classic pub fare and share their love for the teams. The atmosphere is lively and often boisterous, filled with friendly debates over sports trivia and celebrations of hard-won victories.
Went to Pickles Pub to wait out the rain delay. We were seated immediately. Couldn't get better service, and the food was delish! It tasted better than any other food we ate that whole weekend, and was probably our least expensive meal! Kudos on the Pickle shot idea, my hubby loved it!

I went to Pickles Pub before an Orioles game while visiting Baltimore, and it was a great experience. For starters, all of the servers were very friendly and helpful. Menus were on a QR code, and you ordered on your phone and paid prior to getting the food, which was convenient but may be off-putting for some people. The atmosphere was also very nice. There was good music playing, there were multiple different sports channels on, and everyone was friendly. Outside, people could stand and have drinks in a roped-off area of the street if they weren't ordering any food, but the food there was great. Big portions for reasonable prices, and delicious as well. Definitely enough to leave you full and satisfied throughout the game. It is also great location-wise, being directly next to a Hampton Inn for visitors and right across the street from Orioles Park. I would definitely recommend if you are going to a game or just want some good food with a good atmosphere.

Italian restaurant
La Tavola Ristorante Italiano is a spacious and inviting restaurant located in Baltimore's Little Italy district. Chef Carlo Vignotto brings together traditional expertise and innovative techniques to create a menu featuring soups, seafood, chicken, pasta, veal dishes, and delectable desserts. The kitchen emits the enticing aromas of freshly baked Foccacia, garlic, oregano, and market-fresh seafood.
La Tavola, Little Italy, Baltimore So, let me tell you about a little piece of Heaven ❣️ When you need a little break, head to Little Italy, Baltimore and stop at La Tavola, you will not be disappointed. Their special bruschetta with homemade focaccia bread - marinated tomatoes, prosciutto, and pecorino Romano cheese with olives on the side, dinner was homemade pasta with clams and Sardinia caviar (the owner is from Sardinia, Italy), then finished with fresh strawberry panna cotta! The food was absolutely delicious. The bruschetta on homemade focaccia had a delightful mix of marinated tomatoes, salty prosciutto, pecorino Romano cheese, all sitting on soft and crispy bread. The homemade pasta with clams and Sardinia caviar tasted fresh and flavorful, with the clams bringing a hint of the sea and the caviar adding a touch of luxury and authenticity. Finally, the strawberry panna cotta was creamy and smooth, with the strawberries adding a bright, sweet finish to the meal. ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ The ambiance was comfortable and inviting. No one was sitting "close" to you, the brick gave an elegant, rustic feel. The staff made you feel welcomed. They were kind and attentive, never rushing you. There was no "hustle and bustle" - you were meant to enjoy and savor your meal! Definitely a 5 out of 5! ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Best restaurant in Little Italy. This is probably the best italian food I’ve ever had. The squid ink pasta and gnocchi pomodoro was immaculate. The server was very friendly and knowledgable, ambiance was great (they played jazz all day long), everything was perfect. Definitely would come back to try every single thing in their menu if I’m in Baltimore.

Always impressed by the fresh and creative weekly specials! The staff is incredibly friendly and well-versed in dietary restrictions… there’s no shortage of delicious gluten-free options! Mark is the friendliest bartender 🍷, and Luca is a thoughtful owner who ensures every visit outshines the last. A true neighborhood gem! 💎

We went to the restaurant trusting the google and tripadvisor reviews. Boy, were we wrong? The food was not even good. I left the restaurant and had Chinese food for dinner. I do not like Chinese food. That is how messed up this experience was. I got the veal dish with vegetables and the gravy was way too salty. The potatoes were burned and the zucchini were undercooked. My MIL ordered the gnocchi. The sauce was weak and bitter. Out of the six entrees we ordered, there was only one of us who enjoyed the meal. Everyone else was sorely disappointed. We ordered two of the house specials and they were just bland. To top it off, the server made a drink stating that the bartender was busy which was very different than what was previously ordered. When we mentioned our disappointment, his response was I added more vodka. So I guess thanks for giving us the drink that we did not order! Anyway, this is another $300 mistake, I won't be making. I am going to Olive Garden next time. Also, gratuity of 20% was already added. Wonder if that was because we were party of six or their norm.

Had the most amazing wedding welcome dinner for 100 guests. Every person raved about the quantity and quality of the food and service including those with dietary restrictions. Lucca was exceptionally accommodating, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable event. I highly recommend La Tavola for your next event, family dinner or romantic evening out.

The wait staff was nice, but for only having 9 customers took a very long time to help us. We got a wide variety of dishes, the squid ink ravioli and special shrimp tortellini were both good, the lasagna was edible but tasted a lot like a canned sauce and NO BECHEMEL and the bronzino with over cooked shrimp was absolutely terrible. I could not recommend this place at all

Seafood restaurant
Rusty Scupper Restaurant & Bar is a local landmark in Baltimore, offering upscale regional seafood dishes in a waterfront setting for over 30 years. The restaurant provides near-360-degree views of both the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill, making it a popular spot for special occasions like engagements and weddings. It is known for its exquisite seafood fare and traditional Maryland delicacies, showcasing Baltimore's rich maritime tradition.
The food is absolutely amazing! The views are not far behind. The atmosphere, while a little dated, is consistent with its nautical theme and seafood fine dining. The service is always impeccable and stellar. You feel welcome and enjoy being in the environment. The specials are worth the extra $$. But the whole fried fish is a MUST if you have the appetite. It’s not on the menu so asking for it will indicate you’ve been there before and feel somewhat exclusive.

Went here for my graduation celebration and really enjoyed it. The location is beautiful with amazing views, the food was really good, and the service was great. We had a reservation and were seated right away with no wait, which made the night even better. Overall, I really liked this place and would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.

Wanted a Baltimore seafood experience and we were NOT disappointed. This place hit it out of the park on all levels. Starting with the warm bread, which I don’t often comment on but were hot and interestingly presented with a pour over accompaniment. I definitely wasn’t expecting much from a salad but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious as the dressing wasn’t just poured on, it was mixed throughout and then plated. The soup hit the spot, very crabby and creamy. The crab cakes were off the charts yummy. They were MUCH better than the picture could ever tell the story. We skipped dessert cuz there was noooo room in da belly. LOL. As a special note, Amanda, our server, was awesome, both friendly and knowledgeable in her recommendations to us. She definitely rounded out our experience. The view of the harbour is amazing looking back over the city.

Sunday Brunch is worth the price! Food delicious and a lot to choose from. Drinks, music. Just awesome! If visiting, this is the place to go before heading out on Sunday. Automatically 18% gratuity taken out. Service wasn't bad at all. Everyone was welcoming and kind.

I walked away incredibly satisfied with my visit to Rusty Scupper. I'd be remiss not to start by offering praise to our waitress Keirsten. Her exuberance, knowledge of the dishes, honesty, and overall charm set the right tone immediately! My daughter and I trained up from DC for day trip. We struggled to decide on Rusty Scupper or another high profile competitor. We believe we made the right choice. The scallops were cooked to perfection, the jumbo lump crab cakes the best I've ever had, the tuna carpaccio amazing, and the collard greens, game changing! We walked away more than satisfied! It was a great memory coupled with my first trip to Charm City!

This is a good spot for family events or dinners. The view of the harbor is awesome! It’s a huge restaurant, so if it’s busy, service can be spotty. The food is consistently good and portions are generous, but it’s a bit pricey for some menu items. It’s also rich food. Overall, it’s worth a try to see if you like it! The butter cake dessert is to die for!

Wonderful location on the water front, lovely views and atmosphere. Great service but for the cost the food was sorely lacking. Had fried seafood plate and was barely eatable, fish fried so hard that it was not recognizable, shrimp was good, but could not recognize what else was on the plate. All show.

For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Lexington Market, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to M&T Bank Stadium. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Lexington Market is a historic indoor market in Baltimore, established in 1782 and currently undergoing expansion and renovation. It is part of the Baltimore Public Markets system, which includes five markets. The market offers a wide variety of food stands, produce, meat, seafood purveyors, and exotic groceries. Visitors can enjoy soul food, deli sandwiches, Maryland crab chowder, burgers, hot dogs, cookies from Bergers Bakery, poke bowls, jerk chicken and stuffed potatoes.
Fun market with lots of a variety of foods from all over the world. We’ve eaten here 4 times so far on our trip to Baltimore. It’s clean and has plenty of employees at every establishment as well as Lexington Market workers cleaning floors and tables. Lots of security personnel as well. Closes at 5:00 pm, so not really an option for dinner time. Area around the market isn’t the best and doesn’t really feel safe after dark. Food is delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced.

1rst impressions is lots to eat and see every vendor takes pride in what they are serving and and love what they do only problem I had was I ordered a crab cakes from fadleys and just picked a random spot to eat it based on previous markets I have been too Like Pikes Place in Seattle,Reading terminal Market in Philly and Historic Market in South Carolina,All great Markets and food and people so, when I say I just picked a random spot to eat in had no idea a sloppy, ignorant,miserable vendor would tell me I cant eat here,then proceeded to make a comment about me also having fadleys which I was eating at the time, little did he know my wife actually was deciding pizza or tacos so I told her screw his pizza and I was on vacation nice customer service.Other than that very cool vendor I had also grabbed Some great food from Sweet Peas Southern Kitchen friendly fast and great soul food

This is such a great market to be in with a good selections of quality restaurants including delicious fried chicken, fresh juice shop, large bakery, mini donuts, fresh seafood and meats, candy shop, and more. Atmosphere: open, spacious, not super clean but not bad, and it’s visible the staff are actively cleaning after people made mess in bathrooms, on the steps or in the eating area. This is a generally safe place, but still, stay alert to your surroundings. Value: good price on most of the foods we ordered included sandwiches from sunnyside, fried chicken and liver from super fried chicken or pastries from the market bakery. Service: friendly people from staff to shop owners. Location: convenient, with many options of parking garage and street parkings. Definitely recommend.

Lexington Market is a place nearly as old as America itself — and its history of local food, community-rooted small business, and a space for all is the legacy we are proud to continue on today. When we say that Lexington has “something for everyone,” it’s because after more than 200 years in operation, we still pride ourselves on having a diverse mix of local food and service vendors who are deeply rooted in Baltimore.

Non-profit organization
The Walters Art Museum is a historic gallery in Baltimore, known for its diverse collection of paintings and artifacts spanning from ancient times to the present. Once considered a blue-collar town with a gritty reputation, Baltimore has undergone a transformation into a vibrant cultural hub. The city now offers contemporary museums, sophisticated dining options, and a reimagined Inner Harbor that attracts art enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, and history buffs.
The Walters Art Museum is truly a hidden gem in Baltimore and an incredible place to explore the art and culture of different countries, especially from the golden ages. From ancient artifacts to beautifully preserved works from Asia, Europe, and Africa, every gallery offers a unique journey through time and across civilizations. We visited on a weekend and were pleasantly surprised by how quiet and peaceful it was—no crowds, just a calm environment perfect for enjoying the art. One of the best parts is that admission is completely free, and you can enter multiple times in a day, making it easy to take breaks and return at your own pace. The museum also has a charming café and a well-curated gift shop to enhance the overall experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Baltimore, this is a must-visit destination to immerse yourself in global art and history. Highly recommended for all ages!

This is a truly wonderful museum. A true gem of Baltimore. The collection is very large and varied art and artifacts from all parts of the world and including European and American pieces and eastern art as well. The displays are very professional and accessible and the staff always very friendly. And, it’s FREE! I have found that parking in the general area is easy to find and not expensive. If you find yourself in Baltimore make time to visit this beautiful museum.

One of the best museums I've ever been to. It starts from the very entrance: they have that beautiful idea with the cards to make your own tour around the museum. Moreover, wherever you go, you see a lot of materials next to the exhibits which give you plenty of ideas and information for a deeper insight. I loved it! And of course, their collection is just overwhelming! There are so many exhibits and all of them are well displayed in intelligently organized spaces. It's the only museum I didn't go to its cafe. There was no time for it. I wanted to squeeze as much as I could from every minute of my being there. Highly recommended to all art-lovers!

It's a gorgeous museum with great art pieces. They have a cool medieval like staircase too. My boyfriend and I got through the museum within abt 2-3 hours, but that's because we skimmed through mostly and stopped to look at and read about the pieces we found most captivating. If you're the type to stop and look at every piece, plan for more time. 😉 I also saw a woman with a wheelchair making her way around the museum so I assume it's atleast somewhat accessible. And it's all free!

The Walters Art Museum is an exceptional center for those who love art, particularly art that spans across thousands of years. I would recommend to start from the upper floor (4th floor) and work one's way down. The fourth floor houses the collection of East Asian items from China, Japan, India, and the Middle East. The collection spans thousands of years of eastern art, and includes manuscripts, ceramics, burial treasures, and many other items. The third floor contains the prized medieval collection which is one of the greatest collections of medieval art in the United States. There are sections that indicate Early Byzantine, Early Medieval, and Gothic eras. There is also an exhibit dedicated to how cats are represented in manuscripts. There is also a representation of a venetian home from the late medieval era, showcasing a merchant's collection that they could accumulate. The third floor also consists of Renaissance and Baroque art. These are mostly from Italy, and have sections for each century of Italian art. The second floor is dedicated to the ancient world as well as armor and collection displays. the ancient section includes art from Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome. All are detailed and give one an idea of the living and dying rituals of the past. The armor collection is a nice touch, having armor mostly from Germany from the Renaissance that is highly decorative. There is a collector's room that details how a person from the 17th Century would house their collections. There is also a wonder room that showcases how one would collect items in the Early Modern Era. There is also a representation of a Dutch home filled with Dutch art primarily from the 17th Century. The first floor houses the temporary exhibit. This year, the exhibit details the mummification practices of various animals. The museum shop also has a variety of prints, mugs, stickers, books pertaining to their collection, journals, and jewelry that reflects the items in their collection. In terms of accessibility, there are elevators and even wheelchair lifts in spots so that everyone can see their entire collection. There is no fee to get in as of 2025, but you do have to pay around twenty dollars for parking across the street from the entrance. Overall, this is a must see if you are in the Baltimore area, and be sure to donate as they rely on donations to keep the place running for free for all visitors.

The Hippodrome Theatre at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center, located in Baltimore, Maryland, is a historic venue that has been restored to its former glory. Since reopening in 2004 after a 20-year closure, it has become a prominent feature of the Bromo Tower Arts & Entertainment District. The theater hosts a wide range of performances including national Broadway shows like Wicked and Kinky Boots, as well as comedy, dance, and music events.
This beautiful theater gave us a wonderful experience in attending "Come From Away." The history and lovely architecture were inspiring and the performance was awesome. Our only problem was the tiny amount of legroom in the balcony seats. I'm hoping seats in other areas have a bit more space.

I always want to go to the Hippodrome! I am glad I made a decision to go while the Lion King is here on tour. It was the best money I spent going to this show. The show performance was very professional. Everything from the props to staging to sounding to performance to the chorgraphy was perfect. I am giving a 4 star because it was very tight and there was no spacing for moving your feet. Or easy access to going to the restroom. But I guess the theater 🎥 at the time of the building wanted to fit as many people as they could in the bleachers. But it's very nice on the outside and inside. There is no parking attached to the building, but it's nearby parking very close by.

Great venue. My wife and I came here to see Josh Johnson, and the experience was very enjoyable. Convenient parking, where I was able to fully charge my vehicle for free. Seating was comfortable and acoustics were very good. The theater itself is beautifully decorated. The $65 I paid for 2 mixed drinks and 2 bags of shareable size M&Ms was a bit much, but that's entertainment. Overall a wonderful outing.

I had a great experience at the Hippodrome Theatre. The building is beautiful, the seating was comfortable, and everything felt clean and well maintained. Although I stayed at a hotel right across the street, there is convenient parking directly across from the theater for anyone visiting. Food and drinks are available inside. They’re on the pricier side, but that’s expected at venues like this. Security was organized and moved smoothly. I came to see The Phantom of the Opera and the entire evening was worth it. I would definitely return to see more shows here and recommend it to anyone looking for a solid theater experience in Baltimore.

Do not buy seats on the side. I've been to many broadway shows, even more local theaters. This is the absolute worst case of not being able to see over half the show. It quiet honestly, is a rip off. It feels like a scam. This theatre is completely lying to customers and scamming them by selling these seats. It was not listed as obstructed view either. Thats ridiculous. At intermission I requested a new seat & when they heard mine the ladies in the box office went "ohhh yeah...." like didn't even question it. They knew it was bad. To charge $200 is robbery & ruined my experience at Phantom. I missed probably 60% of the show just due to the seat. The theatre needs to remove them or offer them at a price of like $50. Because that all its worth. Do not spend your money here. I absolutely will never be back. Its a disgusting show of greed to do what this theatre does.

Camden Yards is a must-visit attraction in Baltimore, offering an exciting experience for both leisure and business travelers. Located near downtown Baltimore, this iconic stadium hosts Orioles games and provides a fun-filled environment for families. Kids can enjoy the Orioles Kids Corner with interactive activities and kid-friendly snacks. The Kids Cheer Free initiative allows young fans to attend games at no cost, making it a popular choice for families.
Camden Yards is an amazing ballpark with a great atmosphere and beautiful views. I love the misting fans on hot days—they’re such a thoughtful way to help fans cool down and stay comfortable. It would be great if they could take a page from M&T Bank Stadium and offer more budget-friendly food options. Making affordable choices available would help more fans enjoy the game day experience without worrying about the cost. Overall, I love coming here and hope to see some more wallet-friendly options in the future!

We took my son to his first baseball game at the Camden Yards where we watched the Orioles and Athletics play. On Sundays, following the end of the game, they allow children to run the bases. My son had a blast. The stadium is incredibly nice and has a very lovely kids play area. The food was reasonable in price and decent in quality. Overall, I was incredibly impressed. They had a lot of technology to make purchasing items much easier, and there were plenty of staff to help accommodate the customers needs.

What a beautiful stadium for baseball. This venue seamlessly blends into the city. The only thing is that their baseball team is not good, so once they fix that then this place will be better, unless you’re rooting for the opposing team like myself. I was honestly going to go with 3 strikes and you’re out for this venue but I didn’t even get one strike.

A great venture with outstanding staff! There is a plethora of food choices; prices are comparable to other major sporting facilities.

I had a great time at Camden Yards watching the Orioles take on the Texas Rangers. This stadium definitely lived up to the hype and delivered a really fun atmosphere from start to finish. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the Birdland Value Menu. It’s such a great feature and makes enjoying classic ballpark food much more affordable. You can grab $4 hot dogs, pretzels, and nachos, plus $5 Vizzy’s and more. It’s a smart and fan-friendly touch that I wish more stadiums offered. We also had a fantastic view from our seats, and the park itself had a great variety of unique food options. I’d definitely recommend trying the Local Fries, the Cheesie, and the Crab Cake Sandwich. All three were delicious and worth checking out. Overall, Camden Yards is a beautiful ballpark with a lively, welcoming atmosphere. I’d absolutely recommend it to any baseball fan.

M&T Bank Stadium, home to the NFL Ravens, is a must-visit for sports enthusiasts. Located just south of downtown Baltimore, it offers an exhilarating experience with its ease of access, fan amenities, and excellent sightlines. The stadium also hosts massive musical concerts during the offseason. Additionally, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as Oriole Park at Camden Yards and enjoy college sports at the University of Maryland or Johns Hopkins University.
M&T Bank Stadium is a great place to enjoy Ravens games. I really like the fun atmosphere of RavensWalk—it adds a lot to the game-day experience.

I recently attended the Browns vs. Ravens divisional rivalry game at M&T Bank Stadium on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The stadium itself is a really nice venue, but what truly stood out were the concessions. My dad had mentioned that the stadium had introduced "Flock Friendly" pricing. At times, he seemed more excited about the new concession prices than the game and I could definitely understand why. I was able to get pretzel bites and a soda for less than $7, a significant change from other venues where a bottle of water alone can cost that much. They also offered hot dogs, pulled chicken sandwiches, popcorn, and more for under or around $5 each. This was my first time at the stadium, and aside from the Browns losing, it was a great experience from start to finish.

We enjoyed the fireworks, big screens, half time show featuring Good Charlotte. Loved the light up bracelets, combine that with a beautiful fall evening, I gotta admit, I had a blast. Food & Drink lines moved very slowly & pops were flat, my only knock. Hats off to the Baltimore faithful, you guys hosted a great party & we won’t soon forget our trip to see the Baltimore Ravens.

Awesome facility. I had a great time. Everyone was very kind and friendly. All the staff was extremely helpful and assisting me to find my seat and locate anything that I needed. I am not from Maryland and I felt very welcomed. I cannot wait to go back again.

Nice stadium with more comfortable seats than Camden Yards. I understand that Camden Yards is a little older but both are Classic Venues. Affordable concessions and a great fan base.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ravens vs. Colts, preseason under the lights, wife, kids & mother-in-law in tow…what could be better? This was my son’s very first NFL game, and M&T Bank Stadium made it one for the record books. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like football heaven…energy buzzing, fans roaring, and then… there he was…LAMAR JACKSON! 🔥 The food? Delicious. The prices? Surprisingly reasonable for an NFL game (my wallet survived!). Bathrooms? Plentiful and easy to find…no halftime panic runs. Our “decent” seats still felt like we were right on top of the action. And here’s the kicker…my daughter isn’t even a big football fan… but she loved it! She told me she’d absolutely come back to something like this. If a non-football fan leaves grinning and asking for more, you know the stadium experience is top-tier. We laughed, we cheered, we high-fived strangers…even though we’re Bengals fans 🐅 it was pure football joy from kickoff to the final whistle. If you’re thinking about bringing your family to a game, M&T Bank Stadium knows how to make it unforgettable. We’re already planning our next trip!

Seafood market
Oyster bar restaurant
Faidley's Seafood, located in Downtown's Lexington Market, is a no-frills seafood stand known for its huge, jumbo-lump crab cakes and raw oysters. The restaurant gained fame for inventing the jumbo lump crab cake in the early 90s, using large chunks of crab meat and a secret sauce that sets it apart from others. This family-owned establishment has been serving award-winning lump crab cakes since 1886 and offers a variety of seafood selections.
Big, delicious crab cakes in a fun, no frills environment - and make sure to get a few deviled eggs! My daughter and I stopped in here on a Friday for lunch in May, 2025. We parked in a nearby garage and walked a block or two to visit the market, but specifically Faidley's after doing a search for "biggest crab cakes in Baltimore." The entire market is great with a ton of options available to complement your crab cakes if needed. The service was quick and it's standing only with high top tables. The crab cakes were a little pricey but worth it for both the taste and the experience.

Faidley’s Seafood is a great place to visit if you love fresh seafood. It’s located inside the Lexington Market in Baltimore. You can buy fresh fish and crabs to take home, or choose from a few ready-to-eat dishes. There is also a small area where you can eat on the spot, which is nice if you want to enjoy your food right away. The crab cakes are especially popular and very tasty. It’s a casual and local spot, perfect for a quick seafood meal or to shop for fresh ingredients.

Simply delicious crab cake, plus enormous!! So flaky and cooked up fresh. I got there just before they closed and generously let me place an order anyway. Standing at a shared counter height table was a great way to have a little company for my meal, too.

Only took pictures of the oysters because they were massive! (And delish!) The crab cakes, mac, greens, and shrimp salad were superb! (We got slaw and tater salad to go that we haven't tried yet, but look amazing!) Laurie and the rest of the staff were excellent employees, we will def be back!

I received 4 lovely crab cakes shipped to me as a gift. They came packaged very well, insulated and a large block of ice to keep it cold. It is insanely hot outside, but the crab cakes were ice cold! We pan seared them, finished in the oven. So, so good. Very high quality, large lumps of crab meat, seasoned well, and very little filler. The crab cakes individually were probably 6-7 ounces a piece, they were huge. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone. Very nice gift and great quality!!!

Spanish restaurant
Mediterranean restaurant
Restaurante Tio Pepe is a long-standing family-owned Spanish-Continental restaurant located in the heart of Mount Vernon. With over fifty years of history, this landmark establishment offers a cozy underground dining experience beneath a distinctive red awning on Franklin Street. Owned by Madrid-born Emiliano Sanz and his nephew Miguel Sanz, the restaurant is known for its authentic Spanish cuisine and warm hospitality.
We celebrated my son Matthew’s graduation from Peabody Conservatory Masters program with supper at this iconic Baltimore establishment. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent and exceeded my already high expectations. Extra kudos to our primarily Spanish speaking waiter, he was outstanding in every respect. We indulged in sumptuous oysters Rockefeller as well as Tio Pepe’s special version, oysters topped with crab and smothered in champagne sauce. We sampled the puffed potatoes (sort of a three dimensional homemade potato chip that is addictively delicious), and incredibly savory mushroom toast, highly recommended. From rack of lamb to paella for two, our entree’s were cooked to perfection and served with military precision, exactly what one would expect from a first class Spanish Restaurant. Refreshing ice cold red Sangria flowed freely from a seemingly bottomless porcelain pitcher. In an era where glorified sandwich shops and Tapas bars substitute for what once was fine dining, Tio Pepe is a refreshing trip to times gone by. Thank you, thank you for never changing. We will return soon.

One word: mediocre. Service slow, not fine dining, server barely spoke English, didn’t introduce his name. All dishes came out bland, without much attention to detail of presentation. Appetizers: muscles tasty, but served without bread or dipping toast for the green sauce. I tried sautéed mushroom toast, not impressed one boring looking toast came out. Dinner we got lobster Emiliano which was decent, but over lays with sauce, and I got sea bass, after traveling the world in search for the best fish, this preparation and the serving style was 3/10 for me. Seabass was covered by an overwhelming brown salty caper sauce, masking the tender flavor of the fish. Dinner Served with rice and green beans, not much flavor, beans did not taste fresh, (frozen?) overall I was not impressed. Red Sangria was great & the highlight! Although I understand, this place has been in business for many years, my recommendation would be to consider an evolution and advancement of their menu items alongside with a more creative presentation of their dishes.

This place is legendary. Im now 48 and my mom said she came here while pregnant with me. Food is very tasty, service and smiles excellent! I really enjoyed the garlic shrimp appetizer and stuffed rockfish. I can definitely see why local folks keep coming back. I believe I'd feel a bit more comfortable if the restaurant was in a location unburdened by underground moisture smell and those elements that go along with an older establishment. Overall, very nice experience celebrating my mom's 73rd bday.

This is quite literally the worst place to visit in Baltimore for food and good service. I tried to be nice enough to give them a second chance tonight. For reference, I am a (BW). People like to say it doesn't matter, but I put on my best customer service voice and dressed fine (as if I don't do already). My first experience, especially since I'm single and new to Baltimore, I was ignored 90% of the night and talked to like I am dumb. I was asked 8 times that night was I stood up as if I didn't say I just moved here and took myself out. I went tonight to sit at the bar and order food (and honestly take it to go). The girl employee brought me water and walked away without saying anything. I am not drunk! I didn't even drink tonight yet. I'm naturally nervous and talkative because I'm freaking autistic. I am overly polite and tone myself down because I know how I would be perceived anyway (I already know because I tried already with them). To ignore my food and drink requests, throw me water, and walk away without saying anything is outrageous. I hate to say it, but they don't want us there. Save your time and money if you're a BW. I live across the street; I can definitely afford to eat there. As a foodie who just moved to Baltimore, this place isn't worth it in either department. It is overpriced and not good, and I have videos to prove my point.

My husband took me there for our anniversary last month. The way the hostess greeted us was rude. She was looking at us like we were beneath her. Like we were lost. Her attitude changed when my husband said we have reservations. So that set the tone from the start. It's too dark in there; like a cave. We could barely read the menu. You can tell the menu hasn't changed in decades. My husband liked the food. But he also will eat a shoe. However, I didn't like it. The crabcake was okay. A little bit too salt, but it was huge. I had steak with some kind of sauce. The sauce was cold and the steak had no flavor or seasoning. I had a side of green beans which was delicious. The saffron rice tasted old. Our waiter was excellent and provided great service. I was disappointed because we had high hopes for this restaurant.

The shrimp in garlic sauce was not the same. They were over cooked. Oysters with crab and champagne sauce was lacking crab and sauce was not so good and they were under cooked. Sangria was great like normal. My steak was over cooked on the edges. The dessert was a disaster. I have been going to Tio Pepe's for 50 years and I will not go back. It makes me sad

Tio Pepe's restaurant is a long lasting Baltimore tradition. Unfortunately, the front door is not wheelchair accessible since it's down a short flight of stairs. I'm told that there's a way for wheelchair riders to access Tio Pepe's through an alternative entrance. Call in advance to find out how to activate entry by wheelchair if that's needed. The walls are whitewashed rough stone with little arches between the various small and medium rooms. Because of the rough stone walls and the relatively small rooms, the sound level in the various dining areas is pleasantly quiet so it's easy to hear what your dining companions are saying. The service was good, and the variety of menu items was excellent. I had a very good steak, a Spanish cream of onion soup, and a Tio Pepe's salad. The steak came with sauteed string beans and rice. Parking is in a multilevel parking structure across the street. The price of parking is reasonable. Tio Pepe's is a bit on the pricey side. I recommend it.

Don’t go. The people who made my food were inside when I arrived. But after I ordered, they went outside to smoke. They didn’t cover the meat or anything up. Just left the store vacant besides customers. They did this over and over. They also never washed their hands. Here is a video.

I just walked in to pick up my online order. There’s a girl in here right now with red hair and AirPods in. When I walked in she didn’t greet me. She was sitting down on her phone.

I ordered my food (a ham sub) in the middle of telling the cashier what I wanted I was interrupted all the cashier said was mayonnaise? And I said wait no I want lettuce tomato onion pickles mayo. She said ok rudely and then I got my sub to my hotel and it’s a chicken salad sub with just mayonnaise. I would like the be listened to next time so I can actually order and get my correct food. The whole experience was just not good.

So So.. ultimate porker sandwich was salty, very salty. The young man working the register was was very nonchalant at best, he rang your order and gave you no directions after. You had to find your own cups, additional snacks he gave no directions as to where to get them he didn’t even show you your ticket number. You could get frustrated easily if you go here hungry. The layout was very nice though inside and outside.

It was a beautiful day. I wanted to sit outside and have a coffee. I got a Latte. It was good. There is plenty of seating outside. A review doesn't get any simpler than this. As with other reviewers, that staff is not very well educated on the products and was not very helpful. I asked about the size of the burger patties, and the young man behind the counter proceeds to make a circle shape with his hands to show me. When I asked how many ounces they were, he did not know, nor did any of the other staff. What was amazing to me was that not one staff member took the initiative to walk over to the kitchen to inquire. Problem solving skills anyone?

Dooby’s is described as a Korean-inspired café, and while the menu does reflect that influence, the exterior and interior don’t give off a distinctly Korean vibe. That said, it’s a cozy, modern spot with a wide selection of coffee drinks, pastries, and food items—definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. I stopped in for a coffee break and tried one of their house-made syrup lattes. I went with the Miso Caramel latte ($4.50), subbed with oat milk for an extra $0.75. It didn’t have a strong miso flavor, but it was still smooth and enjoyable. I also grabbed a Lavender Goat Cheese Scone for $4, which was a highlight. You could see the lavender tea leaves baked in and the goat cheese crumble gave it a savory edge that balanced the floral notes beautifully—highly recommend trying it if you like unique pastries. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, with plenty of seating. It’s the kind of place where people come to chat, study, or work—easygoing and not too loud. They also have a water station with free water available, which is a nice touch. Check out the menu photos if you want to explore more food options and prices. I’d definitely come back to try their full menu next time. A great spot for coffee, conversation, or getting some work done.

I never write reviews, but i just wanted to leave one so they can improve. i ordered the noodles with spicy chicken. The chicken was a bit over salted but great flavor and texture. However the biggest issue was that the rice cakes were as hard as rocks, dry, and flavorless. The tteokbokki-esque rice cakes were not cooked, and not the correct texture at all, which are supposed to be soft and chewy. The latte I had however was delicious. Hope they can improve upon this.

I had high hopes for this spot based on the reviews but left pretty disappointed. The pork belly benedict wasn’t great; the poached eggs and scallion hollandaise were watery, the kimchi was nonexistent, the buns tasted old, and the pork belly could use more char and a sauce of some kind. The potatoes tasted old and like they had been refried multiple times. The coffee was sour and the decor/paint in the cafe could use a refresh. I wouldn’t go back again.

Wow .. where to begin? The coffee is DELICIOUS. Every time I order my red eye, I’m surprised by the astounding flavor. Every sip feels like the first time. My jaw falls onto the floor and coffee spills everywhere. Luckily, I’m already outside by then. The baristas here are undoubtedly the cutest in Baltimore. Maxine and Bri are delightful and chic. If I was a Hollywood agent who needed to find fresh talent, I would start at Doobys in Mt Vernon. I can’t stop going to Doobys! Thanks everyone <3

Casinos & Gambling
Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, operated by Caesars Entertainment, is a modern casino that opened in August 2014. It boasts a 122,000 square feet gaming floor with over 2,500 slot machines and more than 100 table games including Craps, Roulette, Baccharat, Pai Gow, and Texas Hold 'Em.
Ousside!!! LevelOne at the Horseshoe is electric!! It gives you outdoor concert vibes but you are within the parking garage so you have coverage in the event of inclement weather. It was easy to get to and entry was super smooth thanks to us having VIP bands. We also had a section for those folks enjoy the concert without having to deal with the crushing crowd. The event staff was very helpful and you can tell they had experience. We came to see GloRilla and no one disappointed. The opening acts were great and it was nice that they were Baltimore natives. Once GloRilla did come out, she shut it down. She seemed completely comfortable on the stage and her presence was undeniable. The crowd was mosh pit style so be careful if you have problems in cramped spaces. A few people had to get carried out but it was so hot outside and couple that in with a crowd of people. Any concert that is happening at LevelOne, you need to be there. The better your tickets, the better your experience.

The outdoor concert venue is terrible. Parking was $50 if you didn’t have a VIP card. Eight drink lines were 25 people deep, and the venue is poor at best. (Hot - limited air flow with concrete below your feet and overhead,, and Porta Potty restrooms.)

Never been to a casino before and I played blackjack. We had a very nice (and competent!) dealer and my friends and I have a great time. I was also happy to have found a slot machine with a lever to pull which was incredibly satisfying. I’ve heard the quality of dealers can vary, but I got *lucky* with mine, I suppose!

I didn't come for the Casino so I couldn't tell you about it, other than it looked nice inside from the outside. Instead My fiance and I went for a Glorilla Concert @ Level One. The concert experience is a whole other story, but as far as the venue goes. get your mind ready. When/if you see an advertisement for anything at "Level One" in Baltimore; just know that it's not a CLUB on the 1st floor. It's quite literally the parking lot. It wasn't dirty, and it's not like there was glass or anything on the ground, just....it was a parking lot; Didn't expect THAT.

I had heard from many people that this casino was not very good, but I didn’t believe it until today. Today, I finally got to experience the truth myself. I went to the cashier’s cage to play and cash out. There was a long line, and only one cashier was working. I stood in line patiently. After some time, a few more cashiers came, and the line started moving forward. When one cashier’s window became free, I went closer to her. But she treated me very disrespectfully. Without even asking anything properly, she spoke to me in a very rude and demeaning way. I was already standing in my line and moved forward only when the people ahead of me were done. She could have simply asked me to wait for a moment or told me politely that an ID was required. I understand that for transactions above a certain amount, ID verification is necessary, but the way she spoke to me was unacceptable. She firmly said, “I’m not giving you any money until you show me your ID,” in a very disrespectful tone.

Cross Street Market, with a rich history dating back to 1838, has undergone numerous upgrades and restorations over the years. Originally an open-air market, it was transformed into a two-story Italianate structure in the late 1800s. After a fire in the 1950s, the building was reconstructed and recently underwent another renovation in 2019. The latest amendment included restoring entrances to their original 1950s designs and adding communal seating.

I miss when it was a market. Now it's basically just a food court. Still, the renovations look great, it's clean, it's just not how I remember. It used to be bustling with meat and produce stands, fresh squeezed lemonade, live music, and so many more vendors! I just feel like it's missing something now. The same thing happened to Hollins Market and Lexington Market. They feel hollowed out and on the expensive side.

Where are the veggies and fruit? What happened to the farmers market for this Saturday morning (which fell between May and October) at the Cross Street Market. This Cross Street Market farmers market is talked about by major Baltimore touring organizations, magazines and social media sites. Maybe their publications are outdated. If so, then their announcements should be updated. At 9:00 this Saturday morning it seemed things were just getting started. There were not many people around and no one could provide any information about a highly-touted farmers market. Well, so much for the fruit and veggie inspection and purchase. At the renovated market, a few shops were open and serving breakfast and coffee, but that was just about it. The place was quiet, I remember the hustle, bustle, laughter and people from the good old days. The building is nicely renovated. There is a noticeable alignment of shops along the side walls of the interior of the building. There are also easily accessible entrance and exit areas. Artwork and signage on the building is pretty. There is tabled seating outside on the side of the building, but I am not sure if it is general seating or for specific shops. There is limited parking around the building and additional parking within walking distance, but pay close attention to parking signs. There were plenty electric scooters available outside. Because it was early morning there was not much traffic. Very pleasant.

Fenwick’s Choice Meats Fenwick’s Choice Meats opened in 1952 with the rebuild of Cross Street Market. In 1970 Henry Reisinger joined and rose through the ranks at this classic butcher shop, ultimately becoming sole proprietor in 1987. Fenwick’s has always been known not just for its quality meats (from whole chickens to breakfast sausage and slab bacon to just about any cut of meat you can imagine), but also cleanliness, customer service and fair prices.

Perched atop Federal Hill in Baltimore, Federal Hill Park offers breathtaking views of the Inner Harbor and downtown skyline. This historic park is a popular spot for locals and tourists to relax and take in the city's iconic landmarks. Visitors can choose from two entry points, one with stairs and another without, making it accessible to all. The park features a play area and an old cannon, adding to its charm.
This park is one of the most beautiful part of Baltimore, a city which is very beautiful with an Innerharbor right in the middle. It's a bit of a climb to the top hill to reach the park. Views from this location is amazing. you can watch the whole city in one shot. Photographers will love this location as well. Children have a play ground at the top and families will be seen always. A very relaxing place. Kids should be careful on the slopes.

The park here is very fun, relaxing. I come here often with my dog, and sometimes bring my nephew. He likes running around at the place, and its just a very relaxing environement to come and unwind at! Its worth checking out.

Beautiful spot with amazing views of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. A great place to relax, take photos, or enjoy a peaceful walk. One of the best scenic overlooks in the city!

Great place to relax, walk and see the city Nice park and well maintained road Very steep on the grass so it hurts to sit for a long time. It is a good place to see the city and july 4th fireworks. I would recommend right before the sunset for the view

Beautiful park within the chaos of Downtown. Pet friendly. Good air. Park feels like it's actually on the hill. The view is fantastic, I've attached photos from the top of the park. The only downside is the washroom which wasn't available there. Recommended!

Nice park overlooking the harbor downtown Baltimore. Lots of people and dogs and we also saw a Quinceañera photo shoot going on.

This is a great place to watch the sunset and also look at the city, either in the day or night. However in the evenings, there are usually police near the park as to monitor slightly suspicious evening visitors who are usually arriving on motorbikes.

Mexican restaurant
This Baltimore mexican restaurant features a comprehensive drink menu and classic ceramic-tiled tabletops, along with an extensive list of regional Mexican flavors. The restaurant has earned neighborhood landmark status, and regulars love the chill atmosphere and great service.
Mickie (sp) was our waitress. She did a great job of suggesting drinks and food. She extended excellent service. I didn't get pictures of the main dishes, but every thing was well seasoned and fabulous.

I tried this spot for the first time today after work about 4:45pm. I ordered the carne fajitas. I had a margarita while waiting. It was a really great atmosphere. The waiter was friendly. The music was pretty loud, but it was happy hour. Perfect time if you’re dining alone as I was. The margarita was perfect and well priced at six dollars. I took my fajitas to go, but they were delicious. I ate everything that came with them including the rice. It’s five fajitas which is a very nice portion. All in all, I would definitely go here again.

There is a 19% gratuity added to every check no matter those size of the party which I believe is why the Service was so poor. Our waitress seem to have an attitude every time we asked her for something and this was our first time ever going, we even had to get the guy who brought the food from the Back to the tables to go get some of our stuff cause she forgot like our drinks and stuff And the tacos weren’t really all that good but the chips and dip were pretty OK
Candi S — Google review
The food was delicious and came out quickly! They have happy hours deals on select menu items. The tacos were $2.50 each and the small plates (which were more food / value than expected) were $3 - $6. It was a great way to try a couple items at a great price! The service was also great and the atmosphere was lively. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely go back!

Lauren B — Google review
The food here is okay, but not worth the price they charge. The portions are pretty small for the price you’re paying. They also automatically charge a 19% gratuity on every order. They say it’s to ensure their wait staff is properly compensated…. why rely on your customers to pay your staff a livable wage?? The service was poor. There’s no incentive if they know they’re going to be tipped well regardless of how they treat the customer. Never got drink refills or the to go box I asked for. Order came out wrong and had to correct it. It took a while to even have a server come take our order in the first place after we initially got our drinks. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, so I’m not sure why service was so slow. The atmosphere is nice, but we won’t be back.

Perfect little stop for a Cross Street Market area bar crawl. The Margaritas are fun and impactful. Staff and regulars make the experience memorable. Must try!
Tia E — Google review
I wasn't sure what to expect upon arriving at this restaurant. I elected to sit outside, which was a great idea. It's right on the street so it has a kind of cool vibe. I had their flight Margaritas which I definitely recommend. It was a fun way of just experimenting with different flavors. My favorite was the house by far even though I followed up with a couple of Dos Equis Amber's afterwards. My fajitas were really good. All in all, really good dinner experience and I will definitely be back.

$$$$very expensive
Japanese restaurant
Azumi is a stylish Japanese restaurant located in the Harbor East neighborhood of Baltimore. Situated within the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel, this dining establishment offers an exceptional experience conceptualized by the Atlas Restaurant Group. The menu features a curated selection of seafood sourced from Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market, along with Japanese spirits and sake. Guests can also enjoy teppanyaki-style cooking in the Flame Room, where skilled chefs prepare a variety of dishes right before their eyes.
It still feels surreal to say that—ten million views. I’m so incredibly grateful for the continued love, support, and encouragement from each of you. What started as a small hobby has turned into something I genuinely cherish. Thank you for coming on this journey with me. Now let’s talk about Azumi—an absolutely phenomenal sushi restaurant located in Baltimore’s prestigious financial district, with sweeping views of the water that will take your breath away. This past Wednesday, I was invited to lunch, expecting a casual bite—but what I experienced was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was picked up in a stunning white Corvette (yes, that kind of afternoon!), I knew this wouldn’t be an ordinary day. We parked conveniently in the attached garage, and from there, I was completely swept away. Azumi is the definition of modern elegance. Sleek interior, calming atmosphere, and panoramic waterfront views that create the perfect setting for any occasion. Although we were originally seated at a lovely table, my companion requested we move to the sushi bar so we could watch the chefs in action—and I’m so glad he did. It added a beautiful, personal touch to the experience. Our server, Carl, deserves special recognition. His attentiveness, professionalism, and warmth elevated the entire meal. Outstanding customer service makes all the difference, and Carl exceeded expectations in every way. Now, for my signature drink—sparkling water with a generous serving of lime and 5 to 10 cherries (don’t judge—I love my cherries!). It was crisp, refreshing, and a perfect prelude to an incredible meal. Every bite of sushi was fresh, flavorful, and artfully presented. While I typically take dozens of photos and videos during my visits, this time I found myself simply soaking it all in. The view, the ambiance, the food, and the company were too good not to be present for. Azumi is a standout. Whether you’re entertaining clients, planning a romantic date, or simply treating yourself—you’ll be impressed from start to finish. I highly recommend requesting Carl if he’s available. I’ll definitely be returning. Until next time, with gratitude 💜

My husband and I came in last night for our wedding anniversary. The waitress asked if we were celebrating anything, I explained why we were dining out. Not only is it rare that wait staff asks these types of questions, she brought back an anniversary card for us! I thought this was so sweet and cute. The vanilla ice cream was a complimentary treat for the end of our meal. The food was outstanding and included some of the freshest fish selections I’ve had in a Baltimore restaurant serving seafood. The waitress was also knowledgeable about items on the menu and asked us our opinions about how things tasted. She also gave us some historical insight into Japanese cuisine which I loved!

Very nice restaurant. There was DJ in Satuday night when we came. Good service. Price is not expensive but the portions are small. Food is very fresh, but the tastes aren't fantastic as a fine-dining restaurant itself. We ordered miso black cod, black Angus ribeye, spicy beef tenderloin, wagyu fried rice, seaweed salad, pork gyoya, and fuji chocolate lava cake. The cake is delicious.

Very happening vibrant atmosphere. Be prepared for the experience as the music was worldly complimenting the eclectic patrons that visited. We sampled a variety of the offerings from a tasting of the Sake down to the Fuji lava cake. The miso cod could have had a crispier glaze to lock in more of the flavor, notwithstanding everything was presented and tasted well.

Had the specialty Omakase experience which was quite the experience. Chef Miguel Lopez and his team curated a first class experience with seasonal flavors and selections. Every one of the 18+ courses was thoughtful, explained, and contextual. The service staff were friendly and attentive. I added the " Women of the Water" sake flight which were all well balanced with flavor and sweet notes. Highly recommend! And I plan to go back for a future tuna carving.
Benjamin G — Google review
We arrived late for our reservation and found ourselves seated at the sushi bar right across from Chef Lopez. He took the time to chat with us and personally recommended some unforgettable sushi rolls. Beyond the exquisite flavors, Chef Lopez truly made our night memorable 🖤 Try the San Roll and Veggie Roll!
Nana K — Google review
Ordered the crispy rice (do it), the yellow carpaccio (eh, it’s okay), and the seasonal veggie tempura (you can pass). Ordered the jalapeño roll and the flaming one, highly recommend those rolls. It was good, not super busy for a Wednesday but it was hard to get our waiter’s attention. He was super attentive to other tables though Oh, and the lychi martini were pretty good and try a sake flight! Ooooh, and the lava cake was nice, but honestly a bit decadent and would’ve been happy to just split that instead of ordering too.

Mondawmin Mall

Shopping mall
Located in Northwest Baltimore, Mondawmin Mall offers shoppers over 100 specialty stores under one roof. It is a comfortable mall perfect for chilling out with friends or simply walking side by side with your special someone. The mall is also an excellent place to find household items as it houses a supermarket.
This place has the best workshops for professional development and supplemental services to uplift the community. It's always clean and bright and we are greeted at the door with the best and most friendliest security personnel. Thanks to BCYF!!!!
Kelle P — Google review
The mall does its job, and helps many people in the community. I'm glad there's a grocery store here. It is very clean and well maintained inside the mall, but the sidewalks outside could definitely benefit from an occasional power wash. It definitely looks a bit rough. There should also be more entertainment options for kids! A movie theater, arcade, or bowling alley could greatly uplift this mall. There is potential here, and I hope for an anchor or something exciting to come!
Matthew Y — Google review
This mall is fairly nice and clean. There are a pretty good amount of clothing/shoe stores. Limited places to eat. I don't really shop here but it's a nice place to relax in and maybe order some take-out. There is not a place to sit and eat. Unfortunately the subway/bus stops located outside are not. It's dirty and needs an upgrade. My daughter catches the bus/train and complains constantly. No employees available to ask questions, trains constantly late or don't show up at all. There is a Ross on the parking lot of the mall which is stocked okay but they literally have security stop you at front before entering by removing a velvet rope before you enter and I believe your picture is taken by some camera prior yo being allowed in the store. I believe this is because of consant stealing.
Ramona J — Google review
The place has some good stores. I've been coming here since the early 90s. Recently had an issue with one of the stores here when trying to do a simple return. I feel the customer service could have been a lot better than it was. Generally never have any problems here. I had the receipt, product was not used. Didn't see what the issue was.
George S — Google review
Simply put - it's depressing!! To call it a mall is a misnomer!! It's more proper to call it a "former mall" or the "shell of a former mall". I have to share: the first time I went there.It was early in the morning. They only had one entrance open. They had a security guard there at the door; requiring everyone to sign in. There were sign in sheets. However she, the "guard" was NOT checking ID nor was anyone ensuring you were going where you said you were going. It was the silliest process. What is the point of signing in if nobody checks to see if you are who you sign in as? I literally waited in line, saw the "guard" could care less, signed my dads name, and just walked in. Why not? She didn't ask for ID or care. Lol. I still can't figure out the point. I digress.... But I don't think anybody should call it a mall. Maybe they should have a renaissing ceremony. They can call it the Mondawmin wasteland. When I say its depressing - take your meds before going. Its sad.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Non-profit organization
The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, also known as The Maryland Zoo, is a 135-acre park located in Druid Hill Park. Established in 1876, it is the third oldest zoo in the United States and houses over 1,500 birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. The zoo's mission is to inspire and educate people about wildlife conservation.
We did a Girl Scout overnight here and it was a phenomenal program. Eli, Laura & Natalie are incredible program leaders that kept our girls engaged and they were so kind and knowledgeable. The overnight was 1000% worth it. The zoo the next day was amazing and the girls shared what they learned with other people seeing the animals so they retained the info given. The zoo itself is well staffed during the day, clean, and the animals are visible. The walk up to the zoo is nice but you can also take the shuttle. The carousel and the train ride are free. Giraffe feeding is under $10 and worth it. We have previously been to breakfast with a penguins which I also highly recommend. Overall this is a must visit spot and the extra programming is worth it.
JJ J — Google review
A small but really nice zoo. The old (no longer used) exhibits up front are a cool piece of history. Some areas need updating but the newer exhibits are clearly well thought out & spacious. The penguin area was especially nice. If only it had been a bit cooler for our visit! (See our prairie dog photo for a good example of the heat.)
Matthew P — Google review
We love this Zoo! I’ve been going since I was a child and now sharing the zoo with my kids brings back so many memories. I love the “walk through the zoo’s past” to see the small cages they once were held to compare to the large habitats that have been created. Free parking is a plus. Food is a bit expensive but they offer gluten free options which was a nice surprise. Looking forward to another trip in November, they offer free field trips to homeschoolers which we are finally taking advantage of. Great way to spend the day outdoors learning about the animals and observing them.
Tabitha T — Google review
To begin with, there is a long walk from the gate to see the animals. There seemed to be a lot of construction and renovation happening to the exhibits. Due to this, there seemed to be quite a few animals off exhibit. Most habitats only had 1 or 2 animals in them. The zoo was clean and fun, just not sure it's worth visiting again.
Zach A — Google review
I legitimately love this zoo. I have only come here a few times in my life and the previous time I was here was years ago but honestly I had a lot of fun this time around. They have so many interesting animals, historical architecture, a pretty nice train ride and even some really well themed sections. It’s very clear they’re going out of their way to modernize and do what’s best for these animals. I did see One elephant that looked like he wasn’t doing so well but The zoo is probably still doing what they can to take care of the poor creature. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out this zoo even if the area around the park doesn’t look particularly the safest. Then again that’s the case with a lot of good zoos. I will definitely come again.
Willku9000 — Google review
We come to this zoo most years and always enjoy ourselves. This year had some extra exhibits closed for maintenance and new ones in the works but we still have a good time anyways. The pending we're very active this year, and we saw the baby giraffe which was nice too. The polar bears have bears have been missing for a few years so that is the most disappointing, but otherwise worth a trip.
Joe B — Google review
The only issue is they need more animals, other than that this is the cleanest zoo I have ever been too ! The food was fresh and delicious, the rides and outside activities were up and active, face painting, toy riding, penguin shows , all kinds of great stuff that not only kids would enjoy but so would adults. I had a bawl and would be back for sure. Also you can purchase your tickets in person & use them for your next visit 😉
Aisha C — Google review
My family had a wonderful time at the zoo! We got to see some wonderful animals that aren't in zoos around our area. Admission was a bit pricey but snacks and drinks weren't too badly priced. We did stop at Oasis Food and Drink by the giraffes and elephants for snacks and drinks. They were out of a lot of stuff or things weren't working. The guy that was running the register was doing everything while a guy stood to the back and only messed with putting pretzels in the cooker. Overall a wonderful day seeing animals and learning about them!

Gardens
Cylburn Arboretum is a serene park with over 20 gardens, ancient trees, a nature museum, and a mansion from the Civil War era. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful trees and flowers for free and participate in various programs or classes for a small suggested donation. The arboretum spans 207 acres of scenic fall grounds with ornamental gardens, colorful tree collections, historic buildings, and wooded trails.
This is a wonderful place where kids can run around and learn at the same time. The staff and volunteers are incredibly kind, and they host amazing events. It’s a peaceful environment, and the recent renovations have made the space even more interactive for all ages. I visited today and discovered so many new things I hadn’t known before. It’s definitely a spot I’ll keep on my list whenever we’re looking for something engaging to do. It’s also a great place for spiritual reflection. Highly recommended!

I visited before the Gardens were planted and still had a lovely experience. Volunteers and employees were hard at work planting when I arrived. Definitely visit the Nature Center, staff there were great! They have Luna Moths and Grey Tree Frogs on display and the center is very well maintained. I only wish I could have visited on the weekend so I could tour the mansion. I will absolutely be back to see the gardens!

Beautiful arboretum in historical estate location is Baltimore’s largest public garden. Plenty of parking on mid-summer weekday and open nature center with friendly employees. The only miss was inability to tour Cylburn Mansion. There is a choice of paved paths or hiking trails and well-thought out arboretum layout to please an eye. Worthwhile detour from I-95 when passing through Baltimore, free admission was an added bonus.

We went for one of the open house tours in early April. The staff in the mansion and the nature education center were wonderful. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the grounds and the flora and fauna one can find there. Of note, we were immediately greeted by adorable northern mockingbirds at the entrance of the mansion and only continued to see birds and flowers from there. The trails were easy to walk in regular shoes or sandals. There are wheelchair ramps, automatic doors on the education center, and braille labels on the premises. The upper floors of the mansion were not open to the public for tours (on the day we were there).

Edgar Allan Poe's Grave

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Cemeteries
Edgar Allan Poe's Grave, located at the corner of N Greene and W Fayette streets in West Baltimore, is a poignant place to pay respects to the 19th-century Gothic author famous for 'The Raven' and other works. Initially buried in an unmarked grave, a marble-and-granite monument was erected in 1875 to mark his final resting place.
As a fan of Edgar Allan Poe's work, this was a must-stop when I visited Baltimore. The historical burial grounds dating back to the late 1700's are easily accessible from the street & there is ample public parking nearby. Be respectful of the property as you walk through this small and peaceful cemetery nestled around the grounds of Westminister Presbyterian Church. The Edgar Allan Poe house is also fairly close by, but you DO want to book a tour for that location well in advance as guided tours are limited and sell out quickly.

My partner and I first time in Baltimore Maryland and our first historic stop was Edgar Allan Poe's grave site was a fantastic experience it was not spooky but fun! Good reading never goes out of style.
Matthew R — Google review
If you're a fan of Poe and his work you need to stop by if you're in the area. Paying respects to my favorite author, one who molded much of my personality and quirks as a young kid, was absolutely worth the slight inconvenience of paying $2 and walking a block. The gothic naturen of the church and grounds are gripping to anyone who who consider themselves a fan. I love graveyards. This one was unique as it was the 1st I've seen built over, creating catacombs in under the foundation... I'd didn't know I was missing a quiet meditation in a cemetery, till after I sat quietly to reflect and pay respects to the permanent residents.. countless child graves remind us of the fragility of life and the hardship of past times. Seeing these deeply weathered memorials reminds me how unimportant the heartaches , dreams, loves, deceptions, and traumas we carry are in the scope of time. When we're gone none it will matter... So before then I'm going to dismiss the painful and lamentable issues of life as irrelevant and fleeting... I'm gonna remember to enjoy the small things in life and celebrate the day to day blessings I disregard and forgot are what make life matter. If you're a fan of the macabre, a lover of gothic life, a fan of his works, or just happened to be wandering in the area you won't regret spending 30 minutes to an hour contemplating quietly....( It's free if you're broke or cheap) Hope you walk away in agreement with me and decide to fret over life's disappointments "quothe the raven, "nevermore"." Run Home Ares.

If you've read the other reviews about Edgar Allan Poe's grave, you've probably already learned everything you really need to know: easy to access, well-maintained, very moving experience, roses and notes left on the headstone, original burial site out back. My daughter lives in Baltimore, and from the moment I learned she was moving there, I couldn't wait to visit this famous literary site with her. While some mothers read their daughters Little Golden books or stories of Disney princesses, I read my daughter The Cask of Amontillado. We both have Poe tattoos. This was a big deal to us to visit this site together for the first time. I'm not really sure what I expected to encounter. To me, Poe is larger than life. Surely there are guards and gates and all these other things to keep people from doing anything that might in any way disrupt these magnificent grounds! But no. Quite the opposite. It's very accessible. It's marked, but if you're not really looking for it, you could easily miss it. It's actually very modest considering that we're talking about Edgar Allan Freakin' Poe (not his legal name). I live in Buffalo, not far from where Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was buried in Elmira. I also live very near to some other famous gravestones not associated with authors (Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo is home to the final resting places of rocker Rick James, former President Millard Fillmore, and inventor of the electric chair Alfred P Southwick). I give you this brief history so you know that this is not my first time visiting the gravesite of a very well-known person. Still, I was incredibly taken aback by the ease at accessing Poe's grave. It's pretty peaceful here too - not at all touristy, I'd say (unless I just happened to go on a day when fortuned smiled upon me!). It would be a great place to sit and read, think, draw, or paint. A quick tip: If you have a problem walking hills, I'd recommend getting someone to drop you off at the site. It's in a slightly hilly area and there's no really convenient place to park nearby. "Enough," he said; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." (The Cask of Amontillado)

This place is really amazing we're from Indiana and I've always wanted to visit the east coast and See more of Baltimore and learn and see throughout history of Edgar Allan Poe. These stories are amazing you can spend hours reading some of the Tombstones and see the dates back in time, always wondering what it would be like to have live in this country around this time. Highly recommend stopping by the cemetery to look around, and touch history

Spooky!! Far better to go during the fall or early winter for the atmosphere. Also it was really cool to learn all the facts about the graveyard itself and it's history and design!
Kira S — Google review
A must for any Edgar Allan Poe fan. The graveyard contains two Poe headstones, one marking where he was originally buried in an unmarked grave towards the back of the cemetery and another at the front gate where Poe's remains were moved to decades later, along with his wife and Mother-in-Law. There are a number of other interesting graves and crypts in the well maintained cemetery.

Mexican restaurant
Chipotle Mexican Grill is a popular fast-food chain known for its Mexican offerings like burritos, tacos, and bowls. The restaurant in Baltimore provides a delightful dining experience with efficient service despite being busy during lunchtime. Customers appreciate the hardworking staff who manage to handle large crowds effectively. While there have been occasional misunderstandings due to rush hours, overall satisfaction with the food and portion sizes remains high. This location is particularly convenient for those working downtown due to its efficiency during peak hours.
Darius at 3:30 on September 30 was so helpful. He let me understand about all the different meats and even let me try them. I really appreciate him and he had the best hospitality thank you. We need more people like him working.

On 10/23/2024, I placed a mobile order that was scheduled for pickup at 12:50pm. When I arrived they did not have the staff to accommodate the individuals who were placing orders in the restaurant or mobile orders. The manager was very unprofessional and rude to the customers in the mobile order line. It took nearly 30mins to pickup my mobile order after I arrived at the schedule pickup time. Finally, my order was totally incorrect, the food was cold and the rice was undercooked. I have had issues with this location in the past but I felt it was time to voice my concerns. I truly enjoy Chipotle and the service I receive at other locations. However, this location is poorly managed and the staff is very unprofessional and doesn’t provide a proper level of customer service.

I came to this Chipotle for lunch and wasn’t told they were out of cheese or vinaigrette until I asked while ordering. When I asked for cheese from the delivery side like they gave to the person before me a rude employee jumped in, saying they can’t do it for everyone. I ended up skipping it, then found out they were also out of vinaigrette. This location constantly runs out of key items last week it was steak and honey chicken. It’s frustrating and unprofessional.

Some days you get the proper protein serving that you paid for but other days it seems you only get half. 15 bucks for half a bowl is crazy work tho. Update 1: it only took half the time to eat Update 2: I'm only half full tho...

I came to this Chipotle location intending to buy a meal and charge my phone in a safe public space. Unfortunately, I was met with a very unprofessional and upsetting situation. One of the employees began verbally confronting me for no reason, and when I defended myself calmly and asked to be treated with respect as a customer, she escalated the situation to the point of asking her manager if she could “clock out and fight me.” I explained that I am a stroke survivor and did not wish for any confrontation — I simply wanted to purchase food and sit quietly while charging my phone. Despite this, I was told I could not remain in the restaurant or buy food. I left feeling humiliated, unsafe, and discriminated against. I hope management takes this seriously and provides proper training on professionalism, de-escalation, and respect toward customers, especially those with disabilities or health conditions. No one deserves to feel threatened when simply trying to buy food.

The food was great. They were skimpy on the queso, they had little or no ice in the ice dispenser and they service was slow as molasses prior to a Baltimore arena event and an O's game on the same night.

Italian restaurant
Northern Italian restaurant
Sotto Sopra is an award-winning restaurant located in a beautiful 19th-century townhouse in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood, offering farm-to-table contemporary Italian cuisine with a focus on Northern Italian fare. Executive Chef Riccardo Busio, a native of Italy, showcases his high-quality and innovative dishes using locally sourced ingredients.
I had an incredible dining experience at Sotto Sopra in Baltimore! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a beautiful, cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely phenomenal. We started with the calamari, and it was easily some of the best I’ve ever had perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right seasoning and dipping sauce to complement it. For the main course, I ordered the seafood risotto, and it was nothing short of amazing. The rice was cooked to perfection, creamy and flavorful, and the seafood was fresh, generously portioned, and beautifully balanced throughout the dish. Every bite was rich and satisfying. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the outstanding service from Jose. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. His warm personality and genuine care made our night feel extra special. Sotto Sopra is a must-visit if you're in Baltimore and craving authentic Italian cuisine with exceptional service. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely delicious food “fancy homemade food” served very well! We went during an extended Restaurant Week special (need to make advance reservations) and were blown away by the truly incredible food at a very reasonable price! The cocktails were not on the special menu but absolutely delicious start to the entire meal. Three of us shared 3 appetizers, 3 main courses, and 3 desserts. The portions were all the generous size normal price items - quite a pleasant surprise. Had to pack leftovers including two desserts uneaten as we were stuffed as there was plenty extra! One of the best Italian meals we’ve had outside of Italy! Will definitely be back

The highlight was definitely their pumpkin soup, it was delicious though we both thought the balsamic glaze was over powering. Would highly suggest less of it so people can enjoy the flavor of the soup. I also really liked the whiskey cocktail! It was delicious. I ordered the lamb chops for my entree and was sadly disappointed with it. I asked for medium and it came out well done. The waiter took it back and the next one came out medium rare. It was overly salty and the lobster mashed potatoes were very dry. My partner said his squid ink pasta was good. We both really enjoyed their pistachio tiramisu.

Very beautiful space and friendly server/host. However I wrote in my reservation that it was my best friends birthday, told the host about it and then later the server and nothing came out for her at all. When we were sat it took them ten minutes just to give us some water. We did not get any bread service. I’m really disappointed in our experience. We were also sat at a 4-top when there were open 2-tops adjacent to us. The cheesecake was so sweet and came garnished with fruit that looked less than appetizing. Hope this place can work out the kinks because dinner menu was very yummy.

My first time at Sotto Sopra was great. Decided to do a solo date and visit during Baltimore Restaurant Week after looking over the menu & seeing the selection. Overall the experience as 10/10 from service, to food, to ambiance. I sat at the bar and was waited on within the first 5 mins of me arriving. I ordered a mango margarita, calamari as an appetizer, seafood risotto as an entree, and for dessert mascarpone cheesecake. Everything was so good! Presentation was nice & food was well seasoned and taste fresh. I highly recommend the calamari and the seafood risotto! I will definitely be back.

Had dinner at Sotto Sopra before a show at the Hippodrome and it hit all the marks. Valet made arriving easy and we grabbed seats at the bar.

Restaurant
True Chesapeake is a seafood restaurant located in Whitehall Mill, founded by a team of experienced chefs including Zack Mills and Patrick Hudson from True Chesapeake Oyster Farm. The menu features Chesapeake classics such as spaghetti with middle neck clams, roasted oysters, farmhouse salad with seasonal veggies, crab dip mac and cheese, and rockfish prepared by Chef Mills.
Went there for a dinner date night with the wife as we’re staying away from Atlas restaurant group locations for a while. We’ve been wanting to come here for a while and we were pleasantly surprised. We noticed how busy it was , so we were a little worried that the service was not going to be good. Our server was very busy at first but she rallied through and was amazing for the rest of our stay. I got the oysters and they were the biggest oysters I’ve ever had and they were tasty. Loved the assortment of condiments that came with them. Food was amazing as I was very happy to see snakehead on the menu. I would love to see them cook a fried version of this dish. Prices were really good for the quality of food and the ambiance was amazing. We will definitely be back with our friends.

We were first time diners at True Chesapeake and stopped in to enjoy some oysters. We made a reservation and were sat quickly. Our server Luiz was attentive and friendly. We had a sampling of MD oysters, french onion baked oysters, oyster Caesar with crabcake, and the scallops. Everything was delicious and fresh. For dessert we order the peanut butter marshmallow pot and the inside out apple pie. Great date night spot, and perfect oyster season meal!

We had a great time here with friends for a Saturday early happy hour. The happy hour menu is a steal! The oysters were fantastic and the cocktails were amazing. I would totally go for happy hour again. I do love their dinner menu however the portion is slightly on the less side. You have to order a bunch which makes the bill kinda high, also on top of that they automatically charge 20% plus the kitchen fee 2%. The food quality was no doubt tho. Everything we ordered was fantastic, the balance of flavor and richness was just spot on. I enjoyed everything very much! They serve beer bread as well, which was also my favorite kind of bread. Overall it was such a great restaurant. I highly recommend it for special occasions due to the portion and the price, or just simply go for happy hour only.

I usually know a place is great when I'm already thinking about the return trip! The oysters were phenomenal. First time I tried Snakehead, which I'd recommend. The drinks were impressive. Service could've been better but maybe it was an off night. You should be able to find parking. Next time have to get the chicken sandwich that everyone seemed to be buying!

We celebrated my aunt’s birthday at True Chesapeake and had an excellent experience despite the restaurant being short-staffed. We started at the bar for happy hour with fresh, house-made margaritas and top-tier oysters—especially delicious with the bourbon hot sauce and watermelon mignonette. For dinner, our waitress recommended the Northside, a refreshing NA mojito-style drink, alongside seared scallops (gluten-free, prepared with care to avoid cross-contamination) and the blue crab & bone marrow dip, which my aunt loved. Dessert was a rich peanut butter, chocolate, and marshmallow creation—wonderful but very sweet. Great service, thoughtful recommendations, and fantastic seafood will have me back before summer ends. Heads up, if you’re driving and you think you’re lost, keep driving!

All the oysters we tried were good from the raw to roasted. Steak tartare was a little chunky but not bad. Blue crab and marrow dip was delicious. Service was great but the atmosphere became loud. Restaurant tipped themselves even though we only had 4 people in our party and the kitchen also took a 2%. No one informed us of that. I would prefer to tip ourselves instead of force tipping.

True Chesapeake Oyster is an absolute vibe! From start to finish, our experience was incredible. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, the oysters fresh, briny, and local! Every dish we tried—from the scallops to the ribeye and duck confit—was unforgettable. The food quality is insane, and you can truly taste the passion behind every bite. The service was top notch—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. A special highlight was when the chef personally came to our table to share the rich history of the building. It added such a meaningful touch to an already perfect evening. We ended on a high note with a dessert that blew us away. Can’t wait to return

This is a known hidden spot so on weekends there will be a line and not always an available table. The food & coffee took a while but with the crowd that’s going to happen The staff was friendly even in the rush. The chai isn’t mean for chai lovers, it’s neither spicy nor sweet it’s just bland. The food was good, he had no problems with his, the sandwich was good, was disappointed to find the bug but I guess that was natures endorsement 🤷🏼‍♀️

Historical place
Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine is a significant site that played a pivotal role in the War of 1812, inspiring the writing of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' the U.S. national anthem. Visitors to Baltimore can immerse themselves in its rich history by exploring this iconic fort, along with other historical landmarks like Inner Harbor and Federal Hill Park. Additionally, they can savor freshly caught blue crabs seasoned with Old Bay seasoning for an authentic Baltimore experience.
This historic gem is NOT to be missed. When you arrive, wait for the short movie and be sure to watch. When the window coverings rise, the American flag appears and it is stunning. What a 10/10 presentation! The staff were very kind and helpful. For Patriotism, this is the place to indeed visit!

What an amazing national treasure and a great place to spend an afternoon with friends or family. Walking through the Fort transports you back in time and gives you an overwhelming feeling of national pride. Not to mention, the film documentary at the end of your visit has a truly special surprise at the ending you don’t expect! Do yourself a favor if you’re in Baltimore and go visit Fort McHenry.

Had an awesome experience learning about Fort McHenry and the buildup to the battle that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. Started off in the visitor center and watch the film and look at all the information panels. Going outside gives you amazing views of the bay, and exploring the fort is an awesome experience. Each building has information about the fort and it's history. I would absolutely come back and would recommend others do the same.

The NPS Rangers' lack of enthusiasm at this site prevents us from giving it a 5th star. You have to pay extra to walk out to the fort and take a self-guided tour. During our visit, the temperature was extremely high at around 98°F, which may explain the absence of reenactments or ranger-led tours; however, the rangers were still present at the site. The fort's rangers were just standing in the shade, maybe due to the heat. They could have been giving some kind of presentation or talk. We did not get a discount due to the heat, but the experience of being at the historical location was well worth the 4 stars.

Canton Waterfront Park is a stunning oasis nestled along the Baltimore Harbor, offering an 8-acre retreat for those looking to unwind amidst nature. This picturesque park not only boasts breathtaking views of Fort McHenry and the Patapsco River but also serves as a vibrant community hub. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls or jogs while taking in the sight of sailboats dancing on the water and experiencing lively events like WTMD's First Thursday concerts.
It's a beautiful place to picnic, with wide open spaces and tree cover. You can pick up the free Harbor Connector to get to Locust Point, or the "pay" water taxi. First Thursdays concerts take place here in the summer. There is also a boat ramp if u want to put your boat in and spend a day on the water.

Some individuals were "discreetly" enjoying libations midday, but most of what I observed was families, children, and couples connecting, exploring, playing, walking, and bike-rolling. I will be sure to see more on my next visit to Canton Waterfront.

Canton Waterfront Park is one of my favorite spots in Baltimore! I usually come here for WTMD’s First Thursday concerts, and it’s always such a great experience. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, the views of the water are beautiful, and the live music makes it even better. It’s the perfect place to spend an evening with friends, grab some food from the vendors, and enjoy the energy of the crowd. Highly recommend checking it out, especially during the First Thursday events!

If not for the people who didn't take all of their belongings with them when they left, and the ice cream truck man who gives people whatever type of nuts he chooses for their sundae, it would have been a perfect day on the water. Oh! Restrooms could use better lighting and the mirrors need to be replaced because you can't see in them. Probably a coat of fresh paint and having someone clean them in the beginning of the day Saturday and Sunday and more trash cans. Is glad to see for the most part people are using them.

Specialty Museums
The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore offers a unique museum experience with rotating exhibits by self-taught artists, showcasing works from individuals such as farmers, mathematicians, and prison inmates. The museum challenges traditional notions of professional artistry and features an unconventional architectural layout with curved hallways and rounded gallery walls. Visitors can explore a diverse range of artwork including embroidery, graffiti, sculpture, and film created from unusual mediums like toothpicks and household condiments.
For starters you can go to their gift shop called the “side show” for free and support those artists. Normally gift shops are steep, but this one is not that way. Everything is priced really fairly and has been curated over many decades. I spent about 2hrs at the museum. The museum two buildings, the round mosaic building has 4 floors of art. When I was there it was mixed media. The second building (which you get to by walking through the outdoor sculpture garden) has kinetic art, which means it moves! It has three floors, the third one lets you go into this cool birds nest balcony. There is a lot of attention to detail and cohesion, jam packing art even into the bathrooms or elevators. The stair railings incorporate the cast metal look tree branches and organically bent metal tubing that cohesively can be found if you look closely in the benches, outdoor sculptures, and door handles across the multiple buildings. This is not just celebrating art but showing by example how it can be incorporated into mundane furnishings. Next to highlight the platform and investment this museum put into the children of the community from displaying art to having the mosaics projects that adorn the building involve them. Highly recommend you support .
Melissa G — Google review
Really loved this museum. Great art from only self taught artists, which really shows and is more genuine. Multiple floors in both buildings (ticketed only $10), plus a sculpture garden and tree house you can walk through, ticket or not. The outside of the building is really cool with mosaics and sculptures mounted around. I would highly recommend going in or the very least, walk around the area. I will be going back for new exhibits and look forward to it. The staff were all very nice and informative, as well as, holding knowledgeable and engaging conversations. Even recommendations for local food, ect. spots based on requested restrictions. Being knowledgeable of the area already, the recommended locations were all local and non touristy establishments which I appreciate and honestly expect nothing less from the locals. The Charm City pride is strong here and I love it.

A resident of Baltimore suggested this extraordinary museum located close to the Inner Harbor. I am so happy that I took her advice. This museum will inspire the artist in you. Beautiful sculptures, paintings, and mobiles that will take your breath away. There are two buildings. 3 floors in the main building and 2 in the other. Take your time to browse, there's a lot to see. Don't forget to stop in the gift shop. It is chock full of everything and very reasonable. You will love it. Your children will love it. Fun for the entire family.

Just one of the best! The creativity of the art here is amazing. Definitely a must see. Note:...there is no cafe on the premises or in the near vicinity unless you trek 6+ blocks to we think there is an area with some quick food options. There is a Rusty Scupper restaurant very close to the museum. On the water. Which is nice, but only if you want a relaxing meal and not a quick bite to eat. Also ... there is no museum parking lot, but there is a private parking lot near the Rusty Scupper restaurant and of course street parking ( which could be a bit challenging.for some).

I absolutely loved the Good Sports exhibit they had during August. I did also miss a floor of the last building the first time I was there and that's where the permanent Matt Sesow collection is. I really liked that you could buy affordable original art. The gift shop is worth stopping by even if you don't want to see the museum. There's a lot of unique things there. If I lived closer I would have the membership. The pictures I added are from the Good Sports exhibit which is no longer there, but I really enjoyed George Sosnak's baseballs.

Café Dear Leon

Bakery
Cafe
Pastry shop
Nestled in the heart of Canton Square, Cafe Dear Leon has been a sensation since its inception. The cafe is renowned for its delectable housemade pastries, including the popular Basque cheesecake and Japanese-style tamago sandwich that caused a frenzy during the pandemic. With an inviting ambiance and friendly staff, this chic eatery offers an array of freshly baked treats such as scones, quiches, and croissants.
Happy 5th birthday to Cafe Dear Leon!! What a wonderful place to have in Baltimore. I don't go often, but every time I have gone it has been consistently amazing. This weekend they had a special croissant filled with raspberry and vanilla cream - it was so good. A perfect balance of flavors, great textures. Definitely an indulgent treat, as there was a lot of cream inside the croissant, I split it with a friend. The ham and cheese croissant was also excellent. My friends loved their blueberry lemon ricotta danish and crap dip bagel. The only slight let down was the filling to bread ratio in the coffee bun- the coffee cream inside was great and we wanted more! My iced latte was also great. I will note that we went on a Saturday morning and 9am and waited until 10:15am or so before getting to the front of the line and ordering. It was a pleasant day and I knew we'd be in for the wait, so I didn't mind. Only 6 customers can be inside of the shop at a time and there's one cash register. There is some seating outdoors and there was a water cooler available when we were there, which was nice.

Cafe Dear Leon is a small yet busy bakery and coffee shop in Canton Square in Baltimore, MD. I have been several times and suggest that if you decide to come down, prepare to wait a bit, just depends on their bake schedule and how much time you have. They frequently run out of items but that speaks to the quality of the food they put out. Never hand anything bad there honestly. Today was the crabby Tobago while it was tasty I do prefer the original. Also had the smores cookie which was phenomenal. Give this place a try if you're a food with a sweet n savory tooth and fan of the small bakeries out there!!

When I travel I always skip tolls. Not to save money but it takes me off the beaten path and through small towns a s big cities to find great food. In this case I came across Café Dear Leon. Everything was delicious but their Carb Dip Bagel is worth the wait and taking a detour. I bought 2. One for day of and one for breakfast 2 days later. I made an egg sandwich that I added my Fauquier Famous Bomb Sauce!

arrived at around 8:30 on a sunday morning and waited about 30 minutes. SO worth the wait! their sweet pastries are a dream for anyone who doesn’t have a major sweet tooth. i tried the guava & cheese danish, blueberries & lemon ricotta danish, and creme brulee tart from the sweet pastry options, and all were filled so generously without tasting too sweet. both danishes had tart flavors that balanced the sweetness so perfectly, and i’ll definitely be thinking about the guava & cheese danish for a long time!

I have been to a lot of bakeries and this might be my favorite out of all of them. We are truly lucky to have a bakery of this caliber in Baltimore. The Crab Dip bagel and Crème Brûlée tart are divine. Get there early and follow the bake schedule listed on their website. They sell out quick!

It took me a minute before I actually went..... And I'm pretty sure this was Cosmopolitan back in the day (if you know you know) but in any case it's this wonderful place now, so embrace it. Incredible sandos! Why have you not had one? Have 2. YES there will be a line. It's how it goes. Deal with it. It's worth the wait!

Cafe Dear Leon is such a beautiful small shop! Great customer service and has a seating area. We got the crab dip bagel and the crème brûlée tart. WOW these were amazing 10/10

I was really looking forward to trying Dear Leon’s pastries after seeing so many photos on social media. Fortunately, my wait wasn’t bad and the service once inside was quick. The product, however, left a lot to be desired. The baklava latte was sickening sweet and two different pastries had broken custards, which was so disappointing.

Seafood restaurant
Loch Bar, located in the Four Seasons, offers an upscale dining experience with a focus on seafood and rare whiskeys. The restaurant exudes classic maritime charm and provides stunning harbor views. It is renowned for its extensive raw bar featuring fresh oysters, local Maryland crab, sushi, and other delectable sea offerings. With live music and a distinctive Baltimore ambiance, Loch Bar promises a memorable culinary journey by the water.
Very nice restaurant. The Chilean sea bass was excellent. The cream of crab soup was delicious! Our server was very friendly and came to check on us often. Nice view of the inner harbor. This is our second time coming back here and I would highly recommend.

A big group of us came in for dinner on a weeknight... We sat outside, along the water and had decent service. The views and temps were great out there, but the lantern flies are ridiculous and all over. Their menu is very nice and it was hard to decide what to get, but everything we all chose were things we ended up really enjoying. For me, I absolutely loved the ceviche! Probably in my top 5 ever! Their mac & cheese side is also incredible! I tried their grilled shrimp banh mi and it was interesting - nice flavors, fresh, and tasty. Lots of drinks on tap and on their cocktail menu as well. Definitely worth stopping in!

My lady friends took me to dinner for my birthday! We sat outside on a beautiful September evening! Fabulous views of the harbor and Baltimore at night! The food was fantastic and server, Angelo, was awesome! Lobster tails, crab cake sandwich and Chilean sea bass were all delicious - A completely wonderful experience! Would highly recommend!!!❤️❤️

Overall I give this a 3.5* review but Google doesn't allow half stars so rounding up. Nice setting on the harbor, had live music on a Friday night. Inside was a bit loud and I don't think I saw the hostesses smile once. They have an outdoor bar and seating options as well as indoor bar and dining area. I really wanted to like this place but left just feeling meh. Staff was ok, waiter was friendly and helpful. Also, was honest and warned us the crab cream soup was a bit salty, (it was). More on service later. Food was pretty good, but not worth the prices in my opinion. Caesar salad for $18, good size but bland flavor except for the salty parmesan crisps. $66 crab cakes were tasty but not sure that they warrant that price for 2 crab cakes and fries. Moules Frites were good and I'd order that again for $25. However the staff (not our waiter) brought our mains out before we had finished our starters, she just stood there for a second, and then just crammed everything onto our small table. They also wanted to clear our plates while we were actively eating. I think they refilled our water once over the course of our meal? So definitely could do better on the service side.

Bar: There are two moderate televisions at the 18-seat bar if you’re looking for a spot to leisurely watch sports in a mellow afternoon environment. Brunch review: Live music from local favorites Enslow playing an acoustic set and a brunch menu with variety made this a pleasant first experience at Loch Bar. Chance the bartender is incredibly friendly and attentive. Noon: As the sole patron at the bar and only three seated tables, the restaurant is perfectly quiet except for the talented performers. 1:30pm: The bar is filling out and the tables are mostly full so the atmosphere has evolved as the din increased. The cream of crab soup had a satisfying spice to it that warms you up on a rainy winter’s day. The lobster roll, served on a toasted bun, pairs well with the crab soup. Dinner menu review: Go full Baltimore with Cream of Crab soup, an Orange Crush, and crab cakes. Stephen is great behind the bar and will make your visit great. Don’t forget to use the Atlas app for reservations and rewards.

I came here for my Birthday last year and i loved it. Beautiful Astmophere, my server was very nice i had first ordered the Salmon wrap and it was okay and i say that because it was a little too spicy for my liking wit the peppers and i'm not big on spicy foods so that's the only reason why i said it was okay and because i didn't like it they let me choose another dish so i was happy about that and it was delicious. They had someone that was playing the guitar and singing and they gave me a birthday shout out as well as a happy birthday song and that was cool i loved it, and since it was my Birthday they gave me a dessert(Cheesecake) which was delicious and sung Happy Birthday to me. It was really awesome there. I would definitely go back again which i am for my birthday again this year so i highly recommend this restaurant.

While visiting from Upstate NY, my uncle suggested we have lunch here. It did not disappoint! Beautiful restaurant, food was very delicious and well seasoned. Most importantly the service was spectacular. I’m mad I forgot our server’s name because he was definitely one of the best we’ve encountered. Will for sure return again.

Cindy Lou's Fish House is a waterfront restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland with a menu inspired by Southern food, perfect service, and joyful libations. The restaurant has a wrap-around bar and patio area which offers stunning views of the iconic Domino Sugar refinery.
Tamara & Austin were so amazing & nice to us our entire stay at the water front seating! We were able to capture beautiful pictures and our food was so good!! Tamara & Austin made sure to check on us and gave us the best customer experience !! We will definitely come back, they made my birthday so special .

Today, I decided to try Cindy Lou’s Fish House on the waterfront in Baltimore. It had very cool vibes, and the music was on point. My go-to spot is always the bar. The bartender was very attentive and helpful. For starters, I had a Pineapple Sun Down. I had a Caesar salad for my appetizer, and for my entree, I had the ribeye, which came with fries and asparagus. I did order some cornbread, and it was delicious. Last, I had the cheesecake, which comes in a small dessert glass. I do recommend this restaurant but I must say I was expecting more variety of fish, so that is why I ordered the steak.

Host was very pleasant and seated us outside with a lovely view of the harbor. Waitress was great, our food was out quickly and it was delicious. Please update your online menu. We did pick Cindy Lou's for a specific item which is no longer available. Staff told us online menu has not been updated for a while

I had the Lobster and gnocchi. It was full of lobster, unfortunately not the good parts. There were 3 bite sz pieces of lobster, and the rest were the flat tail end pieces with the not so tasty mush in it. That was a turn-off. I don't want to pay market price for the uneatable parts of the lobster nobody eats. The fried green tomatoes were fried perfectly. I would get the pimento ricotta and pepper jelly on the side. It made the fried batter kind of soggy. But if you like that enjoy. The crab balls were absolutely delicious. I'm not a fan of sauces, but the sauce paired with it and a little drizzle of lemon..Amazing!! We ordered 2 more. The staff was 10 out of 10!!! The atmosphere was contemporary. The fireplace made it cozy, and looking out to the water made it very relaxing. P.s. the menu changes. But I was down to try something new. Unfortunately, the desert I was going to get wasn't on their new desert menu 😕 guess I didn't need it 🤭

Appears to the be the "house" restaurant associated with Canopy by Hilton, located right on the water, on the lovely promenade. Amazing view of the water, right across the harbor from Domino. We stopped in for an anniversary lunch and had a lovely experience with staff, food, and ambiance. Cindy Lou's had previously graciously donated to our kids' local neighborhood public school fundraiser, so we'd been meaning to go there for quite some time. After a lovely experience, we're not only glad we'd finally made the time but definitely looking forward to coming back again soon with friends!
Sean M — Google review
We stayed at the Canopy by Hilton and planned to dine at Cindy Lou’s Fish House on Saturday, July 26 at 8:45 PM for my son’s birthday. The manager, Virginia, told us they were fully booked. I accepted it and planned to order room service — until I saw a walk-in couple seated with no reservation just moments later. When I questioned it, she claimed they had a reservation, which didn’t seem accurate based on what I observed. It left us feeling incredibly disappointed. My husband suspected we were turned away because we had a toddler — or possibly because we are an interracial family. Regardless, we felt unwelcome and unfairly treated. We expected a more inclusive and respectful experience from a restaurant of this caliber.

This restaurant was a wonderful experience. The food was very tasting. You should really try the pork chop with grits and spinach. The views are great. The staff is amazing. They make sure you’re never in need of anything. Any need you may have while dining is already anticipated Cindy Lou’s It’s a great dining experience
Cynthia W — Google review
My wife & I went for our date night. I had the pork chop & she had the beet salad. All of which was fantastic. For drinks she had the Peartini & I had the Old Fashion. For dessert we shared the cookies and cream sundae. Would absolutely return. For those that stay at the hotel, you've got a great restaurant within the building. I'm not saying don't venture out! But if feeling like a night in, you're in the right place!

Seafood restaurant
Restaurant
L.P. Steamers is a laid-back seafood joint located in the industrial neighborhood of Locust Point, Baltimore. It's been a favorite for locals and tourists alike for 20 years. The restaurant offers Maryland-style steamed crabs and has a rooftop deck with stunning city views, making it an ideal spot to enjoy delicious seafood while taking in the scenery. In addition to their specialty steamed crabs, they also offer simple yet tasty cooking options.
We had oysters and crabs they were both delicious. The crabs were steamed perfect, very meaty and tasted delicious. The oysters were awesome. Being from Baltimore and growing up on Woodall Street it is nice to know that LP Steamers is still serving up great seafood. Andy was our server and the service was exceptional. Thank you for making our return to Baltimore great.

Had a great meal here! Friendly staff, quick service, and great food. Came for the crabs and they didn’t disappoint. Also ordered Old Bay fries and hush puppies, they were amazing! The fries themselves were solid, then with the old bay and dip they came with… we LOVED them. The hush puppies were great with their dip too. Menu said honey butter, it reminded me of Texas Roadhouse cinnamon butter that comes with their rolls
Derek F — Google review
The quality of the crabs were awesome. I personally don't like the seasoning (I prefer garlic oil base), but, still it tasted sooo good. Will return for the next visit. There was a wait, for about 40 minutes, but it was worth it. We had some other appetizers and side dishes, but I guess just have the dozen of crabs. That's my suggestion.

Had a fantastic late Mother's Day celebration with my children who all live in Maryland. I live right outside of Philadelphia. We enjoyed the delicious hush puppies (suggested by the fun bartender across the street at Iron Works/Harry's Bar, had a delightful martini while waiting for our table!) We had the three kinds of crab soup, Old Bay fries and two dozen jumbo crabs, steaming hot! They were perfect!! Service was excellent. I got to take home the five leftover crabs and enjoyed them immensely, the following day! This is our third time eating here, and will definitely be back!!

This place has been on our list for a while, since it was recommended and has great reviews. Came for lunch around 12:30pm on a Monday. There was no wait but the place was busy. We had calamari, hush puppies, fries, and Boat Load of food. These are my favorites so I was hoping they did it justice. LP Steamers did not disappoint. Everything was so delicious! We’ll be adding this place into our rotation this summer for sure! 🦀 😋

The space is nice, but the service needs serious improvement. We waited 30–40 minutes for our food with very little attention from staff. They clearly need to hire more people and improve attentiveness. The long wait really took away from the experience.

My husband and I had lunch here for the first time today. We ordered a dozen of the “jumbo” crabs as they were out of the largest size they had. The “jumbo” is the second largest size they offered. Crabs were big with plenty of meat and were perfectly seasoned! They were hot and fresh and we were both impressed! Also ordered the old bay fries which came with a yummy ranch sauce as well as pickle chips. Will definitely be returning!
