We stopped in for lunch after visiting the aquarium. The hostess greeted and promptly sat us after showing a party to their seat. It was a nice and quiet atmosphere without any crowding at the time we dined. Aaron (sp?) was our server and he did an excellent job. My husband ordered the Bayou Penne and I ordered the Blackwall Burger. The bacon on the burger was cooked just how I like it and it was so good. Both meals were simply delicious. Edit: My only issue was the temperature of the food. I would have liked it just a tad bit hotter. read more

Went here on a nice summer evening. Wasn't too hot so had the outside dining. You will get noise but that with all the passerby's and cars passing you. Other than that, the inside atmosphere is very nice inside. Started with the flaming crab dip. When the waitress brought it out, she had a lighter and I'm wandering what she is doing. But it's called flaming crab dip for a reason. She dropped some substance on top of the crab dip the lighter was supposed to be used make a flame on top of the crab dip. Hence the name "Flaming". I thought flaming meant it may have some spice to it that was added in the crab dip. Lol. Would have been a cool thing to see but it was sorta windy out so the flame would stay lit. Would have been a cool thing to see. My entree order was the shrimp and grits. This is probably top 5 shrimp and grits I have ever had. Nice flavor and spices. Large size shrimp (tail on) with the sausage. Grits didn't need anything extra added to it. All the flavor in the dish combined make an excellent meal and fulfilling. I would return here to try other dishes but definitely for the crab dip so I can see it lit up and I will be sitting inside for it. read more

Spent the night in Baltimore on our way to North Carolina and needed a nice place for dinner. My dad and I stopped at Blackwall hitch just because it was close to our hotel. The inside was so cute - I loved the aesthetic. A good mix of tables, high tops, booths and bar. All the staff were super nice and helpful. Since we were in Maryland I felt like I needed to get crab. I got the crab cake sandwich and it was really good. I would definitely recommend! Over all this place was great! read more

We came here as a large (dozen-plus people) group for a wedding rehearsal dinner (and were seated in a private room probably to reduce the likelihood of us noisily distracting other diners). And we had a blast! This is not only because of our not-quite-chaotic group-level dynamics, but also because of the efficiency, friendliness, humor, and tolerance. So the ambiance was nice, but the food was great, too. For the table, we split (among other things) a few orders of buffalo wings. And unexpectedly (for me anyway), these were the best tasting and most meaty wings I've had outside of a wing joint (and even including many wing joints). It was actually startling how good they were. If you came here and just ordered beer and wings, you would not be wrong in doing so. For my entrée I ordered the bayou penne. It was rich a luscious: the vegetable matter (which I tend to avoid) paired well with the various meats (shrimp, chicken, and sausage) in the dish and the sauce (the remnants of which I mopped up some bread which I saved for this specific reason) tied it all together. And although the dish was scrumptious, it was also very rich, and I did not attempt to finish the leftovers of one of my companions (who got the same thing) for fear of overeating (I considered shoveling it all down, and wondered whether the unease in my stomach would be worth the taste, but ultimately decided against it - I am still somewhat ambivalent about that decision). read more

I visited this location for a corporate event. The Baltimore location is very nice. It is located across the street from the Inner Harbor. The restaurants decor was pretty cool. Liked the quotes on the wall. The staff were great. There is a bar upstairs and downstairs. The bartenders are well versed in their craft. The food provided was for a corporate event. The fruit, veggies, and hot appetizers were great. The atmosphere at this location was very inviting. I would definitely visit this location again. read more

We were visiting the inner harbor and needed some food! This area is generally very touristy so this didn't feel like a chain as much as others. Food: upscale but they also have burgers and sandwiches. We split some appetizers and salad and it was tasty but I wouldn't go out of my way to get here. Beautiful presentation. The cocktails were delicious and pretty, we needed a few after a crazy day of travel Atmosphere: atmosphere isn't stuffy. The costal decor is pretty but teetering on cheesy nautical Service: The whole staff was kind and are working and laid back (in a good way!) they made everyone comfortable and welcome. The host even provided towels for guests who got soaked in the rain read more

I came with a large party from work to celebrate the holidays. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the Mahi Mahi tacos and a cup of cream of crab soup. Both were delicious. Fried green tomatoes appetizer was also delicious. I had a dirty martini which seemed a little light on the Tito's. Service was friendly and professional but our party could have benefited from an additional server. They also would have sold more cocktails. Overall it was a good experience. read more

Looks can be very deciding. I was expecting this to be a classic and delectable meal but it was extremely underwhelming, lacking in flavor and character. Even the leftovers weren't even worth taking home. I should've known because it didn't seem like the server really enjoyed much on the menu, but I appreciate their honesty. The restaurant has a spacious floor planthat least we were comfortable. read more

I've been to their sis or brother restaurant near Bowie and the food is just as amazing. I tried their soup and flat bread lunch deal, which was delicious. And my friend had their chicken burger with apple and a mojito which was also delish The main difference I would say is the way they decorated the place so that it matches Baltimore's large ships team which is cool! I also saw that they have rooms for private events. And an outdoor seating area. There's plenty of street parking near by or a garage parking. The service here on a Monday afternoon was a bit slow, but like in many restaurants now days - After pandemic - I would imagine they may be low on staff, which may slow down the waiters. I only saw one waiter and he had various tables to take care of. So maybe thats why ‍ Now, I do have to say that it was my first time visiting Baltimore and it was definitely a sleepy city where most restaurants were closed. So you only have so many options. They have high chairs for toddlers just no changing table on the restroom. However, they have a lounge chair which could work for changing diapers if need be. Great restaurant! read more

Blackwell Hitch is a great restaurant right near the harbor in Baltimore. The lights and decorations made it cozy and inviting. The menu is large with so many great bites! I went with a few starters and was pleased with my decisions. The truffled mushroom had a variety of mushrooms and yummy cheeses! The fries were really really good. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. A great place for a quick bite or a nice dinner! Very relaxing and nice! read more

We made a reservation for 8 people. We got there and it was pretty busy, so we had to wait a bit for our table. When it opened up, we were in the back in the bar section. After letting the host know that the table wouldn't work for us, we were moved to a more comfortable seating area. We were offered water, but they had run out of glasses, so we were served water in plastic cups. Overall, the food was good and interesting. I am acknowledging that we were a big party and the food served was excellent. The service was okay, but I couldn't tell if it just happened to be an unusually slow evening and there was suddenly a rush, or if the service was normally just okay. read more

I really didn't find this place super special. The crab cake was ok, I've had plenty better and cheaper. The blue cheese mashed potatoes were super good, not much blue cheese taste but that would have been over powering anyway. When I ordered a drink the server did not tell me there was an upcharge for a flavored mimosa either. Sever was very nice but if you want a good fancy dinner I'd find elsewhere. Overpriced and mediocre read more

I've been here for brunch one weekend and lunch a different one and enjoyed it both times! The food has always hit the spot, our waiter was rude one time but otherwise we've enjoyed it. We got oysters (pretty standard oysters), a salad (the dressing was surprisingly good!), the eggs Benedict (bf loved it), short rib sandwich (this was huge but not my favorite honestly), shrimp salad wrap (tasted fresh and again my bf loved it), and of course the red velvet smith island cake which was lovely! read more

We arrived on Sunday right as they open and the rush let us know that this was a great last minute pick. Parking isn't too bad pretty much want you expect for this area. We each ordered a different cocktail, a berry mimosa, sunrise and I got the salted caramel. I love coffee and espresso cocktails and this one was perfect. It had the right about of sweetness from the caramel without overpowering taste of coffee. The crab dip was very cheesy not much crab meat but the toasted naan still made it a great appetizer choice. We got the breakfast player, chicken and waffles, and the breakfast sandwich. Each entree was huge and left each of us needing a box especially after eating the dip. The service was also great. The hostess was working solo and did a great job sitting reservations and guest as they came in. Our waitress was pleasant and let us know substitution options for our meals. She came by tells table often. The manager stopped by also which is always a nice touch especially during a busy time at the restaurant. Food came out perfect and very fast. read more

We stopped in to celebrate our friends graduation with a decent sized group. We got to sit in the Captain's Quarters which was super private and quiet. They had a nice limited menu set up for us to choose from. We all got Caesar salad, a choice of entree, and cheesecake. We started with the mimosa bucket and the oyster shooters. The oyster shooter was a very very weird experience but they were actually pretty good. It was like several steps of flavors hitting you but really heavy of the vodka. The mimosa bucket was 10/10. You get 5 little champagne bottles and 2 carafes of juice. We got 10 mimosas out of it, so WELL worth the money! The Caesar salad showed up with very very little or no dressing, so we got some bowls of dressing to supplement. The dressing was delicious as all get out, so I can't complain. I would have had a second salad for sure. I got the jumbo lump crab cake sandwich for my entree and it was very very insanely delicious. It had a nice kick to it, and it tasted wonderfully fresh. The fries that came with it were also perfectly crispy. Overall, we had a great time and some great food. read more

Went here with some friends and got a couple plates. Specifically, the filet flatbread and goat cheese flatbread along with their family-style pasta dish.

Great meal, nice, very patient server. We ordered the crab on toast to share and then I got the crab ravioli special. Well priced at $20. It was fantastic.

So a friend of mine was in town, staying down the street at the Renaissance hotel so I was looking for something that wouldn't be too much of a commute. I found this restaurant on yelp and it had great reviews so that's where we agreed upon. Because it was across the street from one of my favorite restaurants I knew this was going to be a good choice. Parking was convenient given it was downtown Baltimore. And I found the weight staff the concierge/hostesses, as well as the interior decor to be welcoming and warm. The interior truly fit the downtown location. Modern yet a little dark, really comfortable seating overall a great place and the bathrooms were nice and clean! For appetizers, we started with the crab dip and my friend ordered the fried green tomatoes. Being from the south, I don't typically order fried green tomatoes up north, because when it comes to tomatoes, it's all about the seasoning. So reporting on behalf of her, they were OK. They were not spectacular, but they were worth the purchase. My crab dip with the bread on the other hand, was simply wonderful, full of flavor, full of a little spice, cheesy creamy and delightful. And my bread was warm and just the Way I like it a little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect appetizer for me. For the entrées I ordered the peaches and Barada salad with salmon. Unfortunately, I have actually gotten full off of my appetizer so I didn't finish it. It was good, and the balsamic vinaigrette topped it off perfectly, and they were no longer serving the pear and Gorgonzola, so I was very happy because Beriah is my favorite cheese. I absolutely do not agree with the surcharge of $16 for a sliver of salmon absolutely not. I would never pay $32 for what for what amounted to a side salad with a sliver of salmon. I have Barada cheese in my fridge and that's five dollars for a little ball, so I really think they over priced on this part. I wouldn't order it again because of the value not being proportionate to the serving size. My friend ordered the flatbread with chicken and shrimp, and she said it was really good. I did not taste it because I was already full, but she enjoyed that, and it looked really flavorful. She also ordered a mimosa, the mango flavor. The server failed to mention in telling the different flavors, that there is an up charge to get the different flavors. Often when you go to brunch mimosas may either be bottomless or you can get your choice of a flavor and so While the server was really good, she was remiss in telling us this. She also disappeared for like far too long, but I think she may have just been giving a space to enjoy and relax. Surprisingly, it was not really busy for a Sunday brunch, which was great for me because I like a steady crowd but I don't like a long wait and I used OpenTable to book and it was wonderful. I will certainly come here again. I couldn't give it five stars because of the value of the salad and the up charge of the mimosa but overall I recommend this place. read more

We decided to try this restaurant after a last minute change in our weekend plans. We were able to get a same-day reservation, which was nice but not necessary. Our server, Capria, was great. She was funny, able to answer questions about the menu and attentive. I don't eat seafood so my options were limited. I decided on the jumbo hitch wings in sweet chili-garlic BBQ sauce, the harvest salad with chicken and a spicy margarita. We ordered our drinks first but didn't receive them until after we finished our meal. Capria was very apologetic and said the bar was busy with orders from two large parties. The wings were crispy, even after being tossed in a wet sauce. If I ever revisit this restaurant, I will order the wings again. The harvest salad was underwhelming and the chicken lacked seasoning. The salad consisted of kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, apples, fired cherries, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and apple cider vinegar dressing. I was expecting a bed of kale with everything else on top. Ya know, like a typical salad. What I received was a plate of toppings with kale sprinkled throughout. I tried to eat it but I wasn't able to. I took it home, put it on a bed of spinach and ate it. The spicy margarita was good but it wasn't spicy at all. Our small group was celebrating a birthday. We ordered the raspberry doughnut cheesecake after it was suggested by Capria. I really enjoyed it. It was probably my favorite thing about the meal. read more

I tried to test Sam. He was all chill and friendly, low key and whatnot. I wasn't gonna fall for it. Make the best cocktail I ever had or I'm gonna talk smack. Three cocktails in and I'm like... wow. Okay. Gotta five-star ya. I started with espresso martini. He made a very solid one. Okay. Challenge accepted. How bout that old fashioned? He delivered a cherry-smoked old fashioned with walnut bitters. And it was fantastic. Alright. Let's do my mainstay. The margarita. I did the brunch margarita next and damn that was good. Grapefruit, lime, tequila.... Killed it. Sam and Jamar kept me company while Shary did a shoot. She'll be here in a few minutes and I will definitely start with that old fashioned. And the location is perfect. Love it. Coming back. read more

I had a pleasant experience here back in April 2021. Our server was very accommodating. We had a private room booked for me and 8 other women plus a child and I felt safe/health wise. I got the crab cake and a side of Old Bay potatoes. We also ordered mimosas and had dessert; brownies and cheesecake bites with blueberries. It was all really good. Portion sizes were large. Food came relatively quickly. The other members of my group also enjoyed their meals. (Everyone got Chicken and Waffles mainly) There were some small hiccups along the way ; The host in the front wasn't the kindest, & we couldn't get the TV in the room to work, one person's meal was cold (our server did take it back), and the Meal was a bit pricey by the end of it due to the private room, added gratuity etc. But I would visit again and I loved the location's closeness to the subway and it's central location downtown. Very accessible and easy to get to. Wasn't too crowded for a Saturday brunch/lunch either. I would recommend visiting. read more

We had a fun and tasty brunch at Blackwall Hitch! When we arrived, there was about a 35 min wait to be seated. No problem. The restaurant is huge, and a lot of tables were empty, so it made us think they just didn't have enough waiters to open more tables. We had a nice view of the harbor from where we were seated. We started the brunch with a decked out Bloody Mary and a Not Yours mocktail. Both drinks were great! I loved my strawberry mocktail; so refreshing! We ordered the Maryland flaming crab dip with naan chips. It was so hot and delicious. We loved it. For mains, I had the Blackwall burger and hubs had the Baltimore breakfast skillet. The portions were huge, and we were very full. The burger was cooked nicely, and I loved the friend green tomatoes and bacon on top. The skillet scramble was very good. The arugula and tomatoes were a nice fresh flavor with the eggs and potatoes. Our server, Jennifer, was friendly and attentive. Thanks for the great service! read more

Had a relaxing and tasty early dinner at Blackwall Hitch this week. The restaurant is located right near the harbor, so the views from the outdoor dining patio are superb! The patio is spacious and includes umbrellas which provide a generous amount of shade when it's sunny. Our waitress was so kind and helpful. The bartender accidentally served us the wrong beers and she was quick to get them switched out with a smile. Speaking of the beers -- they had a nice selection of local craft beers and a large variety of cocktails available for purchase. Most of the food on the menu was seafood focused, of course, but there were a few flatbreads, salads and a tasty burger as well. My spouse loved the oysters they ordered and felt that the price was reasonable -- $3 per oyster. The mahi mahi tacos were a bit bland, but not bad. The burger was juicy with a generous amount of cheese and bacon. Our favorite things: super crispy fries, delicious beer, a friendly waitress and an inviting outdoor patio! read more

A group of friends and I decided to have a brunch birthday celebration for a friend and the birthday girl choose Blackwall Hitch. I've been here before for a dinner date and the food was excellent, so I was excited to try their brunch menu. I must say, this was one of the best brunches I've had in quite some time. The inside of the the restaurant is so dope! It's has an industrial-style with open ceiling. There is even a second floor with its own bar, perfect for hosting a birthday party or maybe even a bridal shower. The brunch menu was just the right size, not too many options where you are overwhelmed, but enough variety to please a group of ladies with different taste. The drink menu was also plentiful, there were even options for group drinkers. The mimosa bucket was perfect for our group of five. The appetizers were very tasty, but the portions were kind of small. Luckily, we ordered enough for everyone in our party to have a taste. For my main course, I ordered the chicken and waffles. The flavors were very good, but my meal was incomplete. I did not receive my arugula salad which was listed on the menu. Also, the menu said that it was served with chicken breast, but it received a great, wing and a drumstick. As a fan of white meat, I was peeved by the drumstick, but it was only a slight disappointment. read more

We had a late dinner here on Saturday evening. At first, the experience was displeasing. We were placed at the bar because we didn't have a reservation - where no one came to assist us. My wife went on their website and made an instant reservation in order for us to be seated. Honestly, I feel the hostess could've done that but whatever. The wine and food were amazing! I had the chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans! Finger-linking good!!! read more

The food was good, the drinks were ok and while the servers and staff were kind, they were struggling to keep pace as the dinner crowd picked up. Went with a group, we were seated promptly and as noted the food was good. But when we finished it took about an hour to get our bills, then get them run. One of our group asked the manager... and they were quick to help that person but left the remainder or the group waiting which seemed odd at best. Not sure I'd go back with a big group. read more
