    Grilled pork ribeye
    Shaelyn H.

    My boyfriend and I visited for restaurant week during lunch and enjoyed our meal. The crab and corn chowder was tasty but it could've been warmer. I really enjoyed my grilled pork ribeye with peach and jalapeño purée and broccolini. My boyfriend got the lobster and shrimp Mac n cheese which was a little too soupy for his liking. We also tried the white sangria and watermelon crush which were both good. The service overall was pretty quick and the ambiance is nice.

    We had such a great experience at Blackwall Hitch! The atmosphere was incredible--historic, unique, and full of character while still feeling warm and inviting. It was the perfect spot to enjoy Baltimore before heading to our concert. I ordered the Crab Eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely amazing--easily one of the best brunch dishes I've had. The flavors were delicious, the portions were generous, and everything was cooked perfectly. The service was excellent as well. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Baltimore!

    Really delicious Sunday brunch. One taco and one tuna tartare--both yummy. Two of us are gluten intolerant. Only two options were available at lunch, both salads. However Will, the server, worked with us to allow us to have other options, like shrimp and grits without the creole sauce. He is a real gem! Great ambience as well with jazz on sax.

    My family and I were spending the day in Baltimore, from out of town. And I booked a reservation at this place based on their views. I was very very happy we chose this place, we came on a weekend around lunchtime. I was so happy that the menu offered a variety of dishes. We got lots of different dishes, and some items to share. And everything was delicious. The service was excellent! I also really liked the warm and friendly ambiance. There are a lot of restaurants in the Baltimore downtown area, and I would highly recommend this one.

    I had a great experience here last year and came back. It was just as I remembered and had an equally awesome experience. Shout out to our server Leo who was the best and had great recommendations. The host and other staff were just as sweet. Anytime I'm in the inner harbor, Blackwall Hitch will always be an option... I mean guys, my beet salad was chock full of beets and not greens topped with a few beets! Love this place!

    Blackwall is very cute but they not quick to buss tables or clean floors after guests. We were seated next to a family that had crayons and food on the floor , crying toddlers ... I was a bit irritated but I ordered a glass of wine and the family magically disappeared. Our server appeared to be having a bad day at work. We could feel his somber energy and he actually left work before we paid the bill. The good was good and hot but honestly we didn't order anything fancy . Wings, cornbread, fries, broccolini, and a Caesar salad . The Caesar came with a fried cheese disc on top . It was cute but I'd rather fresh Parmesan . We ate those apps and left pretty quickly. Blackwall Hitch needed some sage and a prayer that afternoon. I hope they have better days.

    This place I'm not sure if it's tied with the other locations. The ambiance is big ! Two floors and they have lunchtime specials. The drinks were good but the crab dip was a little disappointing. For a place known for seafood I just thought it was too creamy personal preference I suppose. Opted for a salad and that raised my review. The bathrooms were clean, staff was great and checked in multiple times. I cannot complain that this place I would return to again.

    I made a visit with my friend for Restaurant Week.. We enjoyed the entire moment .. From when we entered this establishment and was greeted by an employee who ensured we were seated.. Our server was very attentive & polite.. I ordered the crab & corn chowder..Filet & Peach Bread Pudding.. I also ordered a Mango Margarita.. 1st off let get into the Mango Margarita was very tasty & made well The crab & corn chowder was a 1st for me.. It was very tasty & delicious.. Made with crab, corn potatoes & bacon. my friend order her starter and got the Pork Belly.. She enjoyed it & said that it was tender.. The filet was made to perfection served with seasoned mashed potatoes & mushrooms.. The Peach Bread Pudding was delicious as well.. The ambiance of the restaurant was clean & very mellow.. Not too busy with a nice mellow array of music.. This was my 1st visit here & wont be the last..

    Dined here for my niece's college graduation celebration. From staff to food to atmosphere everything was on par. Excellent staff, friendly engaging and delicious food. Great time was had by all!

    Outdoor seating as well

    While the name of this restaurant is basic and easily forgotten, the food and service are worth remembering. Party of 6 (2 children under 7) came in after visiting the science music conveniently located nearby (also worth a visit). Friendly hostess led us immediately to waiting table. Server took our order and come back two times. Kids food was brought out right away. Anyone with hangry children dearly appreciate this thought and execution. Adult orders quickly followed. One of the better restaurants I've been to in a while. Tuna tartar was fresh and tasty (little light on the chips, but we're still friends) and burger was excellent and cooked right. Little more pricey than some other places but it's a nice clean and well appointed restaurant. This is an example of paying for and actually getting the value you paid. Kudos to staff who killed it.

    I can't believe how disgusting this place is, I have ordered 6 dishes and none of them are eatable ,

    Steak Oscar and Shrimp and grits for brunch. Everything was flavorful, but my steak was still undercooked after being sent back twice. The manager did correct the issue so overall I was pleased. I'd go back.

    Ask the Community - Blackwall Hitch

    Can the restaurant accommodate for allergens? Ie - dairy and nut allergies?

    Yes but ask to be sure

    How close is this restaurant to the water?

    It's very close! You can walk across the street and you will be at the water. It also depends on where you want to be or go, but it's located in the Inner Harbor, close to Shot Tower and Philips, which is right on the water.

    Do you have large male steamed crabs, how much is a half bushel?

    We do not have steamed crabs

    Are there any vegan options?

    Yes absolutely- you can certainly customize plates too to not include animal product or meats!

    Is there a children's menu? Is this place okay to bring children?

    They do have a kids menu

    Does Blackwall Hitch have outdoor seating during the winter months? If so, do they have heaters?

    We do not currently have outdoor seating. However, once the weather breaks we will have our patio in use. We look forward to see you soon.

    Are happy hour specials available for carry out during COVID-19?…

    No they are not open, the place was boarded up when I went past there last Sunday

    How much is the brunch and is it all you can eat?

    I think it is 40 or 39.95 similar to Phillips seafood. It is a buffet. Not sure if there is a time limit but judge all you can eat. They do not have regular menu even At bar after 1pm on Sundays if wang to watch game

    Is this a good place to celebrate graduation?

    The food is amazing and they have plenty of drinks available. However, the seating is open, so they may not have private rooms as other restaurants if desired.

    Do I have to reserve a table?

    They do take reservations, but are happy to see you without them.

    Is the brunch buffet worth it for 39.99? Is there a mimosa special?

    The Buffett is nice, there are no specials for mimosas they are $2 a piece and watch the other drinks the tea is sold separately from the shot of alchohol you would want in it so drinks can add up quickly

    Do they have unlimited mimosas for brunch ? How much extra is that?

    Not unlimited. $2 per mimosa.

    What are the happy hour specials?

    Unfortunately it's not up on the website anymore to give you exact details but I can tell you it was almost all the apps half off and good drink specials the bar was packed. You won't be disappointed if you go there. There was also music.

    Where is the best place to park for this place?

    Hello all! We have discounted parking in the pier 5 garage across the street. Anytime during your visit you may ask the hostess for a parking validation ticket ($12!)

    How much is the brunch buffet?

    $39.99!

    Is this location fully open yet? And if not anyone know when?

    Yes! We opened May 1st

    I would like to file a formal complaint regarding my experience at the hotel cocktail bar…read more My friends and I visited the bar with the understanding that it was busy, and we were more than willing to be patient while the staff caught up with service. However, the bartender, Vicki, refused to accommodate us at all, despite our willingness to wait our turn. Rather than acknowledging us or offering an estimated wait time, we were simply turned away. What made the experience particularly disappointing was not the wait itself, but the lack of professionalism and hospitality. We were treated as though our business was not welcome, which is not the level of customer service I would expect from a hotel of this standard. As paying guests, we expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. If the bar was temporarily unable to serve additional customers, a polite explanation or request to wait would have been completely understandable. Instead, the bartender's, Vicki, refusal to accommodate us left us feeling unwelcome and frustrated. While I thoroughly enjoyed my hotel stay, this definitely put an off putting taste in my mouth toward customer service standards. I hope this matter will be reviewed so that future guests receive a more professional and courteous experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback.

Warm, soft, and sweet. The drinks were AMAZING! I ordered the Recurrence Eternal which contained gin, pear, and champagne. There were other ingredients in there but I wanted to spotlight these few.

I went an hour early before everyone else was supposed to be there to get on the waitlist, but the wait was until 10 pm!! So I quickly switched gears and called Benny's because I've heard great things about them. The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.
