    Great flavors!!! Reasonably priced!! Creative menu, good customer service with Good food, what else can you ask for! Also it says they close at 8pm But they stay open later. You can dine in but the area is kind of small.

    My chicken arrived with no skin and some meat missing. Totally unacceptable!

    My chicken arrived with no skin and some meat missing. I had to finish cooking my fries. Totally unacceptable!

    Food has always been great however the fountain drink machine never has ice and this time 4 out of 5 flavors were out. Very disappointed. They do good business and won't fix things .

    1/2 Chicken White Meat

    I've been searching for a Peruvian rotisserie chicken place in the Baltimore area and I've found it! Chicken and veggies were well seasoned. Price point was affordable and customer service was awesome. Will definitely return. The green and mild sauce were a great consistency.

    The chicken isn't cheap per se but it explodes with flavor. You've probably spent more for worse chicken.

    I have been to the Dundalk Chicken Rico location about three times now. I have yet to have a disappointing experience here. I just happened to check in and saw that the reviews are surprisingly low. I wanted to rectify the absurdly low rating. For what it is, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal. The food is virtually exactly the same as the 5 star Yelp-reviewed Highlandtown location with options not even available there (the outstanding green beans, for instance). The prices are lower, the staff is friendlier, and the place is cleaner, and the lines move faster. The chicken is spectacular, side dish portions are generous and even the veggies are flavorful. If you're measuring Chicken Rico against Morton's then it does not compare. But if you pit this location against other fast casual dining establishments, you won't find many better than this Chicken Rico.

    This restaurant has really great food! I had the chicken burrito and it was delicious! The two sauces that came with the burrito were delicious as well. I will be back to try more items.

    We order half of chicken and it was raw. We order a salad and it was mostly onions. Nothing good about it.

    Solid Peruvian chicken joint. I think it is a little more peppery than most. Hits the spot though!!!

The perfect spot for locals to grab a coffee on their way to work or an afternoon lunch spot. Joanna's has a really nice menu with quite a few breakfast and lunch options. As well as a decent drink menu for whatever may suite your fancy at the moment. I settled on a Pistachio and Rose Latte, a Sausage and Cheese breakfast sandwich, and a huge Black Bottom Muffin. The latte was little on the sweet side for me, but the flavor was decent. The breakfast sandwich I got on an asiago bagel, and it was pure deliciousness. The chicken sausage was seasoned nicely, and the asiago bagel was so soft and pillowy. I thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich. And the muffin was quite tasty too. With so many items to try on Joanna's menu and their good customer service, I'll definitely be back to try some other things when I'm in the area.

Starting with the food, everything is quality, with clean and fresh ingredients and an awesome menu with everything from burgers to breakfast sandwiches. The fries are great. The space is awesome. The downstairs is nice and eclectic, lively with great energy and the upstairs is a great place to get stuff done, quiet, comfortable, spacious. Cool couches and decorations that make you really feel like you're in a historic part of Baltimore. The staff is probably one of the best parts. I met the owner, Nikki, who's an absolute gem, gracious, kind and welcoming. The staff is super friendly and accomodating. Mike is great, really friendly and helpful. This place is definitely one of the best cafes I've ever been to and I've been to hundreds between NY, LA, and Miami... If you want a cool place to come hang out, potentially meet new people, and enjoy a great coffee, this is it. If you want a place where you can get work done comfortably and stay for a while, I highly recommend it.

My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Sunday morning, and while it was understandably very busy, we were still able to find a seat. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight -- it has a warm, inviting feel that makes it a great spot to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy a slow morning. The bagel sandwiches were so-so, and unfortunately the bagels themselves were a little underwhelming. For the price, we expected a bit more. The coffee was also a miss for us; it was very watery, and we ended up grabbing another coffee from a nearby shop afterward. Overall, Mindpub is a great place if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, a baked good, or a casual sandwich in a charming setting. The space and vibe are excellent, but the food and coffee left a little to be desired.

Anyhoo, instead of past fav David and Dad's Café, I went with the Circuit Court lunch list pick of Nalley Fresh (in the famed Sun Trust Building). You get various protein and add-on choices and choice of salad or wrap or whateves, plus chips (Uglies) and sweets, including their "famed" chocolate brownie. Courteous and efficient service, plus I think they gave me better than the 10% discount as a sad sack juror! Excellent chicken Caesar wrap with vinegar chips and brownie! I highly recommend Nalley Fresh for your jury duty lunch where there is some window seating with AC if not outside tables on a less hot day. Bonus: It you ask nicely, the adjoining lobby desk person may lead you to a tucked-away bathroom to freshen up before you head back to do your civic duty for the rest of the day. (Note: Lucky me, I did not get picked, and by early afternoon on a Friday, we jury "orphans" were released again to our "normal" lives--to live free and easy for another year.)

I think it's worth mentioning that I've never had pit beef before so I am by no means an expert as to what's good or not. I will also say however, that what I ordered, the open face pit beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy was ok. The entire plate was swimming in gravy so that took away from what could've been a better meal. I did ask for gravy on the whole sandwich and the mashed potatoes (because the picture on their website looked like gravy only came on the mashed potatoes and I do like a little extra) but I wasn't expecting a to-go box literally full of gravy, so that's probably my fault. The texture of the beef mixed with all the gravy and mashed potatoes was a bit unpleasant and soupy and I periodically had to pick burnt bits and foil out my mouth so that also took away from the experience. They seem to have a pretty vast menu and I had no idea what I was going to get when I walked in. The young lady that took my order was very friendly and helped me come to my decision so the customer service was good and I appreciated her patience with me. As far as ambiance goes, while I was waiting for my order, there was an older man waiting for his order that was yelling at the tv about how Joe Biden hasn't done anything for this country and that Trump only told the truth. I try not to get caught up in politics with strangers because it really can be off putting but what can you do. I wouldn't do the gravy with a side of open face pit beef sandwich again but there's so many other options I'd like to try in the future should I find myself in the area again. A man that was also waiting for his order said he really like the ribs.
