My friends and I will definitely be back. The food and service was great. We enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Well as stated 7 years ago, we used to come here during bar crawls. But we don't live here anymore so while we were in town we thought we'd come by with our son. The gluten free menu is exceptionally better now! Just amazing! Everything was great. One of the best gluten free menus in the city. Can't speak to drinks anymore, neither of us have had one in years BUT my mocktails were awesome. read more

This place was on my radar for their gluten free crab cakes, since being in town for a conference meant I MUST get crab cakes. It was, unfortunately, my last stop of the trip before leaving in the morning. But, I would have to say that it was my best stop. I came in the wrong door and walked up to the bar. A little confused, the bar guy helped me find a table and make sure I was comfortable. The table was a quaint 2-seater beside a very New England window. I was charmed! The decor was great and everything felt so cozy. After a long day of shaking hands at the conference all day, I made the ridiculous mistake of introducing myself to my server as though she was a new networking connect. I felt so silly, but she was gracious about it. Every worker I interacted with was super nice and chill. I got the crab cake platter, since I hadn't had lunch and only a small breakfast. After such a long day, it was nice to settle into this little tavern and have some delicious crab cake, tater tots, and Brussels Sprouts. Everything tasted wonderful. Was it New England's best crab cake? I don't know - it had been over a decade since I'd had one on the East Coast (I'm from California). Either way, it made my day and it was the most happy and relaxed I had been during the whole trip. Thanks, guys. read more

My wife and I went here for brunch because of their extensive gluten-free offering. It's rare to find a place with more than a few options, so for that reason alone, it is worth visiting. To my surprise, it was also great in every other way. Service was fantastic. Our server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Prices were reasonable as were portions, and the food was just plain tasty. I sometimes struggle to break out of my routine and try new places, but I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to go back! read more

WoooHoo! So glad I chose to stop here during my trip to Baltimore after hearing good things online! Fells Point is such a cute little town, I decided to sit outside since it was such a beautiful night! My server Nick was very polite & attentive, gave me multiple recommendations after asking what I had to try since I was in town, and dealt kindly with all of my questions unrelated to their establishment. I was told that the portions were huge, and I decided to go with the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. I know, I know, I could've got that anywhere else, but this specific bowl of pasta goodness was probably the best I ever had, and I've had this dish several times! Came out piping hot, the broccoli had char on it which I usually don't see but that made it even better, the chicken's flavor was great, and due to that I didn't have an all white alfredo sauce! (and me, of course, I told them no tomatoes on mine) I decided to get a Creamsicle Cocktail over crushed ice and it was delicious! One of the recommendations from Nick. Tastes exactly like it sounds! And the most bestest for last, those Maryland Crab Tots. THIS was the main reason I came here since I had seen a lot of chatting about them on the good old inter-webs and they were soooo amazing! The picture does not do it justice whatsoever, it does look like the cheese is unmelted, but I can assure you I was getting fantastic cheese pulls along with the creamy crab dip that was layered in the tots which you can't really see either since it was under the cheese, and other tots. GRAB THESE IF YOU GO! I stuffed myself the most that I could handle because it was all delicious but decided to cut myself off so I didn't explode my jean's button off. read more

Alexander's Tavern - Eggs Benedict - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is hands down our favorite go-to spot. The crushes are the best, the food is consistently amazing, and the bartenders truly go above and beyond, the kind of people you could chat with all afternoon. Even after we moved and couldn't visit in person, we started ordering delivery because we just can't get enough. read more

I thought this would be a good family place since my kids just eat basic bar food- pizza, fries, and tenders. Especially since when I search for "kid friendly" places this restaurant appeared. But it is not very kids friendly. The food was OK- everything in the fryer came out seemingly "burned". Additionally, the whole place just smelled like skunky weed due to the man who just parked himself next door smoking for hours. I don't care if people smoke weed-- I used to too-- but it is kind of gross when that is all you smell while you are eating and if your intent was to go to a family-friendly establishment. Don't recommend for kids or for quality food. read more

We loved this location! Stopped in before a concert and the food was quick but delicious. I also had their seasonal crush which was delicious and I already miss it! Would highly recommend! read more

Alexander's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Alexander's Tavern is an absolute standout, especially for anyone who needs or appreciates gluten free dining done right. It is such a relief and a joy to go to a restaurant that offers a truly dedicated gluten free menu and a separate gluten free fryer. That level of care makes the experience feel safe, inclusive, and genuinely thoughtful rather than limiting. Everything we had was delicious, but the chicken tenders and BBQ sweet potato tots were especially amazing. The tenders were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the sweet potato tots were the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and savory. You would never guess the food was gluten free because nothing felt like a compromise. Alexander's Tavern proves that gluten free food can be just as indulgent, comforting, and satisfying as any other. Between the quality of the food and the attention to dietary needs, it is a place we will absolutely keep coming back to and recommending to others. read more

Casey guided us correctly. The Brussels sprouts with honey sirracha were fantastic. Best ever. Gigantic food here. Crab tator tots are outstanding. Twisted crab soup was phenomenal too. Yummy. Come hungry. Peach crush was bomb.com. read more

The best place I have been to eat since having to eat gluten and dairy free. They were very knowledgable and the service was very attentive (Shoutout to KC and Jake). The vibe was chill. Bar setting with additional tables and an upstairs dining area with games (darts was the only one I saw being played but there could have been more). Bartender KC made my new fave drink that I have not seen in any other establishment: The Fells Manhattan. It was very good! I had vegan gluten free nachos. It was delicious but there could have been a little more toppings. Still delicious and the refried black beans were sooooooo good! The gluten free (with vegan cheese) steak panini was not the best. I was expecting the Chimichurri aioli to have flavor and it honestly tasted like plain mayo. I wouldn't get this again because that was the main reason for choosing that sandwich. The hand cut fries good! Overall, I would definitely give this spot another go until I have had everything gluten free, dairy free or vegan on the menu! Definitely gotta check this spot out if you have food allergies and even if you don't. Parking is limited because this is on the strip of restaurants and bars in the heart of Fells. I parked a few blocks away which was fine and gave us a nice little 5 mins walk to enjoy the weather. There are parking garages about the same distance as the pay to park area I chose. read more

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a gluten-free, celiac-safe crab cake while I was visiting Baltimore and I'm so glad to say that Alexander's Tavern proved me wrong! Their gluten-free menu is quite extensive and it was so hard to narrow our choices down! My friends and I ended up coming here around 8:30pm on a weeknight for dinner and there was ample seating space. We ended up getting the crab cake entree to share with 2 sides (coleslaw and crispy brussel sprouts where you can customize a specific sauce - you can never go wrong with garlic parmesan!). The crab cake itself was so full of crab meat and really well seasoned, the coleslaw was a little bit more watery than I would've liked but still fine, and the brussel sprouts were def crispy, though personally I would've preferred a tiny less char on them. But no matter - it's definitely the dish that I would recommend ordering if you come here! I also ordered the MD crab tots, which they're supposedly famous for and the tots came smothered in cheese and crab meat. It's a tasty app to share but it's super heavy and dense, as one might expect. My friend also ordered the cream of crab soup, which she really enjoyed. Come hungry because the portions are quite large and I felt like everything was very reasonably priced! For example, our crab entree was listed as MKT price day of which was $28, though I was expecting it to be more expensive having lived in NYC and Boston. Only downside was that our food took a super long time to come even though there weren't even that many people around us. However, staff were super nice and chill - overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for a casual dinner if you're ever around the waterfront area! read more

Stopped in for brunch with a group of my gym friends. We had a relatively large party and the food and drinks did not disappoint. We had a plethora of things from the hangover burgers, the tots, prosciutto and arugula pizza. Even the not your average tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons, bussing. You can also get a half of grilled cheese sandwich for extra dipping as well. To be brutally honest you cannot go wrong with this place for brunch, lunch or dinner. The food and service is just that good. I would totally stop in for a random meal read more

My wife and I have been ordering take out from Alexander's Tavern a lot lately. Probably 5 times or more in the past month. My wife is gluten sensitive, so it was surprising to us that they had gluten friendly options. Our go-to order is the chicken parm sandwich w/ crispy tots, and their buffalo wings. I think as of now, Alexander's wings are my favorite. One thing I can't stand about wings is if they aren't crispy and if you can still see the hairs on the skin. You don't have to worry about that here. The staff is great and friendly. We came to pick up our order two separate times. Typical Baltimore bar in terms of ambiance, but they serve good food and the people who work here are great. read more

A full gluten free menu which is very rare. My wife has celiac disease so this was a real treat. We started with the wings which were very good. We shared the Cubano Sandwich and the Crab sandwich. Both were very good both the bun on the crab sandwich was pretty much standard gluten free roll. Didn't really stand up to the sandwich. Insofar as gluten free options - they are incredible! A full menu. Would definitely recommend. read more

I happened to stumble upon this place as I was walking through Broadway Market and I must say- I gotta go back! I went during their happy hour and only had their happy hour French 75. I must say- it was good and STRONG!! The ambiance was very warming and the bartender was super nice and patient as I was looking to figure out which drink I wanted to try. Would definitely recommend for a casual spot especially for happy hour. Affordable prices and great environment overall. read more

Probably the worst food AND drinks that I have ever had. And I'm 64. I get it's just a tavern, but, seriously.....wicked bad!

Alexander's Tavern knows what it is, and does it well. This restaurant features all the classic tavern fare foods and represents all the great qualities of American comfort foods. Given the rugged and subtle upscale look to this place, it's no wonder it's become a local favorite. Getting the Maryland burger, I knew I was in for a meal as the burger was perfectly cooked, accompanied with fresh crisp vegetables, and generously topped off with crap dip. Their choice to use a potato Kaiser roll instead of a pretzel, brioche, or sesame bun is such a subtle but refreshing change to burgers in general. The roll's crustier exterior juxtaposed with the soft insides does the burger quality justice overall. The tater tots though. Dear god the tater tots. These things should be classified as schedule I drugs the way I kept going back for more. These things are ridiculously crispy and addicting - I seriously don't know what they did to make them so perfect. I could just go back for these tater tots and be content. To tie it all off - the Alexander's Cheesy Mac is exactly what you would imagine. It's cavatappi pasta with a generous assortment of cheese BUSTED all over it. It's considered an appetizer on the menu but I think it's actually a threat of a good time. Overall, this is the place I would bring someone to introduce to the Baltimore's Fells Point community. It's not flashy and it doesn't need to be. Alexander's Tavern is unafraid to embrace the American spirit in their food and beats to their own drum. I will definitely return. read more

Service was excellent, super friendly and helpful. Fun location, in the thick of Fells Point but quiet enough in the actual restaurant. We had the pickle fries, the Cajun tots, the hangover burger, the honey siracha Brussels, side Cesar salad and the ambrazzo sandwich. All were super delicious. Tips- sides and portions are huge. We shared a lot of this as a a family of 4 and didn't end up finishing it all. The only thing we might not order again would be tots. They were good but so overloaded with toppings that it made the tots soggy pretty quickly. read more

Food/drinks: Delicious, extensive gluten free menu! (And also great for those with no allergy restrictions). I got a crab cake - a GF crab cake!! - with large lumps of crab. It's been years since I've been able to have one and it was very worth it. Asparagus was fresh. Fries were delicious. The sweet potato tots were too sweet; I wouldn't do them again. I had a yummy mocktail too! Service: Good! Came with my baby and they were very accommodating. Ambiance: It's a tavern feel, so no frills, which might surprise you given the price. But it was very chill and nice to watch people walking by. There were so many things I wanted to try (because when do you find high quality GF food), but I'd really love to do another crab cake. read more

Had a team meeting along with a water excursion. Arrived at the restaurant from the water. Had a great beyond burger my team had food across the menu, that was delicious and delivered well in execution.

Appreciate the space. read more

Visited Alexander's on the charm city food tour. I've found a gem that specializes in old fashion crushes. Surprised to try the Brussels Sprouts and specialized tater tots.

Friendly service, plenty of gluten free options. Their tater tots are a specialty and were very good. The tater tots can be ordered with crab dip, or bacon/ cheese or with other options. However, stay away from the crab cakes. They were like a cornbread with a few small flecks of crab embedded. Very disappointing. read more

I've been trying to gatekeep this place ever since I found it a year ago but now I cannot hold back. The food is an absolute banger every time I go. The service is unmatched and the drinks never fail to impress. I urge you to get the Breakfast Nachos just once while you're there they will knock your socks off! This place is a 11/10 and will not disappoint. They will also put on whatever game you request. read more

We came here for brunch during restaurant week. I got the deviled eggs (minus bacon) and the birria Benedict while my boyfriend got the beet salad and vegan panini. The food was ok.. i don't know what's up but the brunch scene in Baltimore as it has been disappointing for me of late. For restaurant week I don't know that deviled eggs are the right offering for a brunch app. I got it anyways and I don't know if having the bacon bits would have drastically improved the taste but it was ok. The birria Benedict was good but didn't blow me away. The consomme was tasty. My boyfriend liked his salad but was very disappointed by the beyond sausage panini. Like I truly appreciate restaurants offering more vegan or veggie options but once it's on the menu it becomes like an afterthought. There's nothing done to make it more elevated or taste better and for that I feel bad for any vegans out there. He said it just tasted like mush on mush(the marinara). Service was fine and I did enjoy the mock tail I got. read more

My daughter has celiac and eating safely while traveling can be challenging. Everything we had here was delicious and Lee, our server, was so warm and welcoming. They take food allergies and restrictions seriously and have separate fryers for gluten free things. They have delicious cocktails (crushes, they call them) and GF tater tots, burgers, chicken tenders. I am not gluten free and tried the roasted tomato soup and the berry salad. Everything fabulous and this place should honestly be packed every night! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance is fun and cool. read more

We came here twice in one day, we loved it so much. It was that second visit that undid the magic from that same morning. Morning visit: Service - wish I could give it above 5 Food - 5/5 Evening visit: Service - 3/5 Food - 5/5 Lauren and Molly killed it at the bar with their personalities and attentiveness. They did a great job of taking care of us and their busy workplace. It was almost an all-lady crew working that shift, and they did everything perfectly. Drinks were well mixed and poured. The food was amazing on all levels. We went back that evening and the service quality did a complete 180. We sat outside and waited a very long time to be tended to. It took another couple going inside to get attention that got the servers moving. Someone came by and took everyone's drink menus for some mysterious reason. Later someone else came by to ask what we wanted to drink. Then someone else came by to take our food order. The food came out all at once despite how the order was verbalized. We were rarely checked on. And at the end of it all - a 20% gratuity was automatically added. I normally tip that or more for good service, but these guys definitely didn't deserve that much. Maybe that explains the lack of concern. Why work for your tip when you are gonna get one, regardless? No matter, the food was on point, and if you can sit at the bar, do so. read more

Before I get into a recent brunch experience last Saturday, I want to point out that a mandatory 20% gratuity is added to the check. If a restaurant is going to have the nerve to add this mandatory charge, they should ensure first rate service combined with a fantastic dining experience. This was NOT the case of my experience. After placing my order with a server who was lethargic at best, it took nearly an hour for three basic egg dishes to arrive. Mind you my server did not check in with my table a single time during this wait. Remember that mandatory 20% gratuity, but I digress?? My table was a party of three. Two of these egg dishes were wrong, and another was ill prepared. One of the replaced egg dishes took an additional 20 minutes to be replaced at which time I had finished my brunch, so the timing for our meal was all over the place. Please note that my egg dish had been overcooked. I was so disgusted with the whole experience at this point that I just choked down my meal without saying anything. I just wanted my meal to end. To add insult to injury, a clown of a manager came over to my table before receiving our check and claimed that he was too busy doing other things upstairs which is why my table's order was screwed up. So essentially, he admitted that he was a terrible manager and had mismanaged the restaurant. To compensate us for a horrific dining experience, he gave us a 15% discount. What an absolute joke! It becomes a bigger joke when you consider that I was still charged a 20% gratuity!! This place is a total disaster. I suggest you avoid this restaurant at all costs. You have been warned! read more

This. Place. Is. My. FAVORITE. When I found out they have a separate area for gluten free cooking, I almost cried. I also almost cried when I saw how many options I had as a gluten-free diner.
