I stopped in here after visiting the BMA for an early dinner as it was walking distance from the museum. It's right on the harbor so depending on where you are seated you may be able to get dinner with a view. Reservations were easy to obtain and I was able to be promptly seated once I arrived. The staff were friendly and my server was attentive. I ordered the crispy fish sandwich and was pleasantly surprised at the portion size. The meal was delicious and I left full. Highly recommend if you're at the harbor. read more

Blackwall Hitch - Crispy fish sandwich - New American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My fiancé and I normally love blackwall hitch but we left so disappointed this last time. We had 4 out of a dozen oysters rotten. One was visibly grey and desiccated and made it up to us, it made the entire table smell disgusting. The other 3 looked okay visually, but smelled rotten. I've never had an issue with oysters here before. I'm not sure if the shuckers were having an off day, but man. I was so disappointed! We were seated upstairs and our service was also lacking a bit, not getting refills quickly, etc. definitely not the best time! read more

First visit to this Baltimore restaurant. Paid street parking, well lit street, and a prime corner location, Open Table reservation, seated immediately by hostess in 2 level restaurant with great ambiance, large windows with great view of street traffic, loud noise level on the first floor due to one table near us, food served in a timely fashion, delicious entrees - small cesar salad, fried cod, shrimp, French fries, grilled pork chop, sweet potato purée, grilled broccolini, and chocolate torte. 5/5 MY ISSUE: As my party prepared to leave through main entrance after we finished dinner, a sign blocked the main entrance and directed us to exit through bar entrance. I turned back around to photograph the signage, while my party headed to the bar exit door. When I turned back to leave, a manager coming down the stairs glaring at me asked me, "Is everything all right?" Me: Yes, I was taking a pic. Manager: I know. I wanted to know if everything is ok. Still in same weird vein, like a dog with a fav chew toy. Me: Is there a problem with me taking a pic? Manager: I didn't ask you why you were taking a pic. I wanted to know if something was wrong. You were over there taking a pic and the hostess wasn't there. Sidebar: This same manager passed our table at least 3 times during our visit with no greeting, nor stopping by our table to check in with a little small talk. NOW....he asks me is something wrong nary a smile but with a .....what in the world is she doing. Me: YES, this is petty. No, you asked me if something was wrong BECAUSE I was taking a pic. If I needed something, then I'd ask the waiters at the next stand (only a few tables away) You saw us sitting at the table at the entrance and never spoke to us once. I will never return! RUDE MANAGER Interaction 0/5 Note: All managers, stop by each diner's table, greet customers with a smile, DON'T be obnoxious and rude. THANK patrons, APOLOGIZE when something goes wrong, always say COME BACK AND SEE US! FYI: Manager for your information, I'm a Yelper. I enjoy leaving honest and detailed feedback on places I visit. My time and money are valuable to me as I curate adventures. This was most definitely not one of those times! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

When we entered the location we were greeted with a friendly host who guided us to our seats. The restaurant was very clean, had dim lighting and great music playing...I need that playlist.

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. read more

Nice decor an upscale casual vibe. Good service. Husband had lunch serving of Blackwell Bayou -shrimp, catfish, pasta. Had some heat and he loved it. I had a tasty cup of minestrone but oddly it had almost no veggies in it other than a bit of celery- just cannellini beans and broth . I also had fried green tomatoes which were great. Remoulade was delicious & spicy. I didn't care for the corn salsa though, too much vinegar. read more

Flew all the way in from Seattle and had researched best Bloody Mary in Inner Harbor. Just knew we wanted to start our first day of vacation with a Bloody Mary before we explored all Inner Harbor had to offer. Sat at the bar and when the bartender asked what we wanted we told him we heard you had the best Bloody Mary in town. He agreed and made them for us. Hmmmmmm? I asked isn't it suppose to come with some seafood, celery and bacon? He then told us that one was only served during Sunday Brunch. That would have been nice to know before he made the ones he did. They were meh at best. The establishment itself was adorable and looked like it might be fun at night, there was a stage for live music. I can't comment on the food because after the meh drink and meh service we decided to move on. read more

I made a reservation on OpenTable for an early dinner on a Saturday at Blackwall Hitch. When I got there it was kind of empty and that made me question the limited time slots on OpenTable. At any rate the hostess greeted me and I was seated promptly. My server Chaudaiye came over and took my drink order and gave me some time to look over the menu. I was torn between menu items and after getting some input from the server I went with the pork chops. The pork chops had an apricot glaze and was paired with mashed potatoes and charred broccolini. For my drink I went ordered a strawberry lemonade. The drink was so so but the food was amazing. Only complaint is I wish there was a little less sauce. Not big on all that gravy on my mashed potatoes. But none the less I really enjoyed my meal. My server was super attentive and checked on me periodically. At one point I changed tables because I had two friends join me and she was super chill about it. The restaurant was well lit and clean. There was a large party in the upper portion having a gathering but that didn't impact the flow of business at all. Then when I left I was able to get my parking ticket validated so I paid $12 instead of $30. Not sure if this applies to all the garages but I parked at the Pier V garage to be specific. Overall good experience and I would for sure return. read more

I lived in Maryland years ago and this was always a favorite in Annapolis. Early dinner on Friday night. Plenty of room at the bar for a walk in. The bartender was super nice and accommodating. Started with the espresso martini. It was real good with right amount of sweetness, always a good touch with coffee beans on top. Fried green tomatoes for the starter. They were yummy. The honey drizzle was a great touch that really balanced the tartness of the tomato and slight kick of the blackened seasoning. All this was served on a bed of creamy grits. They offer crab on top as an upsell, I declined and I think that was the right call because the flavors balanced really well and I believe the crab would have confused things a bit. Scallops with sweet potato mash for the main course. Great choice, the scallops were cooked perfectly with a char on top without being overdone. The flavors oh my, a spicy jelly, combined with smoke on the scallops and creamy polenta...nice touch. I can't leave out the sweet potato mash, tasted like home. Excellent meal and service all around. read more

I got the Baltimore Breakfast Skillet. It comes with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and crab... WHERE WAS THE CRAB??? There were tiny pieces of crab but they were hard to find. I dug around the potatoes and struggled to find it. The dish wasn't even served in a skillet!! My father asked for a piece of cake with a candle to celebrate my birthday, well part of the crust was missing from the cheese cake. This place does not appear to specialize in presentation or hospitality. What a disappointment. read more

Last night in Baltimore and our group visited Blackwall Hitch. Blackwall Hitch is an upscale restaurant serving fresh seafood, flatbreads and a variety of salads. Blackwall Hitch does welcome large parties but be warned they do not split checks so your party will have to figure out settling the bill within your party with one form of payment. Blackwall Hitch did provide great service, delicious food and reasonably priced. I do recommend ordering several appetizers as we tried all and hit the spot. Several of our party tried the oyster and a shot and enjoyed the fresh oyster with the liquor of their choice. Our party did get a great view of the city while it snowed which provided an opportunity for photos of our dining experience. Overall we had a great evening, I would have enjoyed the flexibility of paying my own bill without the chaos of coordinating Venmo payments to handle of our bill. I do recommend Blackwall Hitch, just don't do group seating. read more

Made a reservation at 4:30 PM on a Saturday afternoon. Not crowded. Right on the harbor, so you have a nice view of the ships and shops. Warm greeting by the hostess, who was smartly dressed and wearing cool heart-shaped glasses. My server greeted me promptly. He checked on me regularly and several other people checked on me as well, including other servers and what I assume to be the manager, and even that cool hostess again. I started with the fried green tomatoes with crab meat and the smoked crab toast. Full disclosure, I'm not a huge seafood person, but when in Baltimore, you have to at least try! The fried green tomatoes was breaded well, so the coating didn't fall off like in some places. The grits were creamy. I didn't taste the hot honey at all. Maybe that's why the grits were creamy, but I didn't catch the flavor. The smoked crab toast: the focaccia was crispy and well grilled. The flavors were great, with capers, pickled radish, and herbs. At this point, I think maybe lump crab just isn't my thing? There was absolutely nothing wrong with the crab. For me it was just, "meh." I think this is a me thing and not a them thing. Other starters include shrimp, tuna tartare, wings, mussels. They also have oysters. For mains, they. have chef's catch, crab cakes, New York strip steak, pan seared salmon, wagyu steak frites, grilled pork chop, a grilled portobello mushroom for the veggies, Branzino, seaside Alfredo, etc. I had the filet Oscar, which is a 6 oz filet topped with crab meat, served with mashed potatoes, hollandaise, and charred broccolini. The steak was tender, the perfect medium temp that I ordered. The mashed potatoes actually had some flavor and creaminess and were served with the skins, so chunky. A lot of places serve bland mashed potatoes. The broccolini was smoky with some snap. Again, the lump crab . . . not sure it was worth the 58 dollar price tag. Again, that's a me thing, not a them thing. Just didn't add to my culinary experience. I did order a side of season fries because I often try fries at each establishment I patronize. The fries were chunky and well-seasoned, but a little cold. I think they could have been better and it was a one-off. But overall, pretty good. The drinks were okay. They have some fall-themed margaritas and martinis. With apple and cider flavors. They have a mango margarita, a pear martini, bourbon drinks. Nothing mind-blowing, but not bad. There was a dessert menu, but I didn't even give it a second look because I was so full. Would try this place again . . . but for seafood, I am going to try a couple of local recommendations like Mama's on the Half-shell or Jimmy's. read more

Came to Blackwall hitch for a company dinner and this was pretty good. Our waiter was really nice and very accommodating with us. We were in a semi private space in the back of the restaurant which provided a good intimate setting where we can talk about work. We ordered a lot of food and drinks prior to our entrees. The crab dip and calamari was delicious. I enjoyed my drink which was called the old hitch which was their take of an old fashioned. I ordered the trident broiler and this was pretty good but that time I was pretty full. The mashed potatoes were very garlicky and buttery they whipped It real good. The scallops aren't the best I've had but It was still good. The shrimps and crab cake was absolutely amazing and made sure I took It home as leftovers. read more

we had a great brunch at blackwall hitch! had a res for 2 on sunday at 11 but it wasn't very busy in there. the interior is very pretty - lots of natural light, black and silver modern nautical feel. we had good, quick, no frills service. our food was delicious and came out within 15 min. the chorizo breakfast skillet was large enough for a small army but i did feel like it was more potato than anything else. can't go wrong with a classic big breakfast combo! if you park in the pier V garage (~3-4 min walk) they will validate your parking to make it $12 regardless of when you are in the restaurant. so, for example, you could eat, get validation, then walk around for a few hours and leave knowing your parking will be $12 regardless. nice perk! read more

After going to the National Aquarium in Baltimore we were looking for a restuarant with in walking distance and Blackwall Hitch had favorable reviews. There were 9 of us all together and we were all well pleased. The food was very delicious and the seasonings in enhanced the food. I took a few pictures of what we had to eat. We ordered the crab dip with toasted mini naan bread, it was so so good. I personally had the Fish & Chips. What surprised me was the batter on the Halibut was not drowned in oil, Just perfectly crispy. My husband really enjoyed Mahi Mahi tacos. Also ordered & enjoyed was the Flatbread with arugula, roasted figs, mozzarella and light sauce, jumbo crab cake sandwich, shrimp & grits, the Blackwell Burger and another fish and chips. The french fries were real potatoes and the were nice and crispy. Normally I eat french fries with ketchup these didn't need any. For dessert we shared the molten lava cake and the apple pie , which was also very good with the fresh coffee. I must also add that our server Shayna was very nice and pleasant. We never felt rushed, she new the menu really well and was able to answer any questions and helped me personally with my choice. So thank you Shayna : ) I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the Baltimore area, especially if you go to the Aquarium which is a block away. They also validate parking if you park in the tall parking garage with a giant P on Pratt Street across from them. I would definitely go back again ! read more

During a kid-free weekend, we headed to Baltimore for the Ravens' playoff game and decided on Blackwall Hitch for some day drinking and great food. Since we didn't have a reservation, we opted for seats at the bar, which worked out perfectly. If you're planning to visit and want a table, I'd recommend making a reservation--they were busy! Our bartender, a Steelers fan (ironically enough), was fantastic and gave us several recommendations. We ended up ordering: * Oysters on the Half Shell - Absolute perfection. * Cream of Crab Soup - Incredibly flavorful with plenty of crab. * Crab Dip - Good, but I've had better. To be fair, I have high standards--people pay me to make this for their parties! Others might say it was excellent. * Smoked Crab Toast - The standout dish! A total flavor bomb, filling, and packed with crab. I need to learn how to make this. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this spot, especially given its location in the middle of Inner Harbor. Great atmosphere, solid food, and a fun experience! read more

I had a reservation for 1:30pm. I asked for a booth and the host was happy to clear a table. The restaurant atmosphere was relatively calm, clean and not too noisy at the time we came. It was a Sunday during brunch. I ordered the Baltimore breakfast skillet with a waffle on the side. My husband got the crab cake sandwich with fries. The breakfast skillets came out on a plate and was room temperature which already I wasn't a fan of. It was very potato and cheese heavy and with smaller portions of crab and eggs. If you like a giant bowl of potatoes and cheese then this is the dish for you. My husband's crab cake sandwich looked delicious. He rated it a 8/10. Overall Blackwall hitch is usually great I just don't recommend their brunch as the menu was limited and not cooked to my liking. read more
