    Outdoor entrance

    I haven't been to Chuck's trading post since pre-Covid and I've only been for brunch. This is a Hampden staple, and even the Hampden and neighbors forget that it exists. I recently heard about their burger special which is $15 for a drink can be an alcoholic drink (like a crush), and fries and a burger. For how shortstaffed they are, the staff is phenomenal provide excellent service and I was shocked to see how many people were getting to go orders for their burgers. You can get a choice of draft beers and they also have a cooler because they are a little bit like a grocery store so you can pick whatever beer you want out of a six pack. I am off on drinking so I decided to get a Coke product and my friend asked for a crush which he made and didn't charge for an additional fee. We decided to sit outside and someone was smoking so I'm not sure if they allow smoking on the patio but I didn't want to say anything since he seemed like he might work there? I also got three mosquito bites because it is damp and kind of musty in that outdoor patio area. Inside I didn't want to sit because it was too smoky so it's a little given intake because it is a tiny little space. It's really a 3.5 because the burger was lackluster. Next time, I have to try the Smashburger and also you can ask for all of the burgers with the smash patty so that's what I recommend you do because I've only heard good things about the Smashburger. Go for brunch and go on a Wednesday for the burger deal because in this economy you really can't beat $15.

    Service is super friendly and attentive Loved that. Food took a minute but they appear to stay busy so completely understandable. Food was pretty good. I wouldn't drive out of my way for it, but if you're in the area, it's worth checking out. Drink was well made although a little warm. Doesn't look like the juices are on ice. The ambiance is very much giving diner. The tables are far enough apart and the music is the perfect volume - you can actually have a conversation. This appears to also be a grocery where you can buy beer and wine, so that's a plus! Be prepared to walk a little. It's in a residential neighborhood and the street is tiny so be careful and I suggest parking near the top of the hill where there's a little more room.

    Fast service, even on July 4th. While my farmers skillet and grits were good, everything needed a touch more salt. The grits were very creamy (which I love). My partner ordered the Spaniard and Greek yogurt had zero complaints. We'll be back to try their lunch/dinner options.

    Love love love chucks. They just dropped their fall specials which feature spare rib grits. Everyone needs to try this like right now. We brought our dog and sat on the porch, drank coffee, and had amazing food and service. Chucks is a staple for a reason!

    I've visited this spot twice and enjoyed both experiences. The menu rotates with specials, so I can't recall everything I ordered the first time, but overall it's a solid breakfast and lunch destination. It can get busy on weekends, but the atmosphere is welcoming and the coffee is excellent. The food is consistently good, and the cornbread stands out as a memorable favorite.

    A favorite coffee shop was closed on Tuesdays so we decided to keep walking on 36th to Chuck's. As others have written, this spot is off the beaten path. Arrived close to closing time so we ordered to-go. Rustic interior with mixed/outdoor seating and a home turned into a restaurant. A small refrigerated grocery section offering produce, milk, soft drinks and Beer. We ordered the Pimlico skillet-Confit mushrooms played nicely with the eggs and spinach, The Reuben-any time I see "house....." it's a good sign. House braised corned beef made for a tasty sandwich. The pancakes oh the pancakes-don't know and don't need to know what they put in the batter but these cakes stole the show. Homemade berry compote took it over the top but these cakes were fine alone- no syrup necessary-delicious. Service was friendly and engaged. They have weekly specials posted on their website. Hampden hidden gem is an understatement! We will be back!

    Chuck's Trading Post is such a hidden gem for breakfast. We had the Seoul Skillet, and it was absolutely packed with flavor and super satisfying. The vibe is cozy, fun, and totally transports you; you'd never guess you were in Baltimore. Perfect spot for a laid-back but memorable brunch. Note: get the cornbread, it's delish!

    I love this resteraunt! The breakfast sandwiches are absolutely to die for! Servers are friendly and attentive. I like the rustic ambiance as well- honestly such a hidden gem! My only complaint is when I went off Wednesday burger night- service was iffy and our burgers only came with a few fries which was disappointing. Besides that- I love this place!

    I ordered a to-go order online and went to pick it up in the store. The shop has a very rustic decor to it. Makes you feel like an old wester saloon. For my food, I'll start off with saying the sandwich had an amazing flavor --- until I noticed little micro fibers of some sort on my sandwich bread. I have been noticing restaurants are using a utensil or cloth of some sort on their grill that leaves a residue behind on food. There are little strings if you look closely at your bread. If it's on the bread, then it's probably on everything else that gets cooked on the grill and we just can't see it This cannot be safe or healthy. I plan on bringing it to their attention, as I got my order to go.

    Honestly, we walked in expecting the full menu, but it looks like Wednesdays are burger nights! And it was absolutely delicious. I had the smash burger and my girl had El Chapo - both absolutely hit the spot. Burger + fries + beer for $15, you really can't go wrong here.

    This place was highly recommended by friends when we were driving through Baltimore. Loved this place. Large variety of boozy lattes, good beer selection, great food and lovely outdoor front porch seating. Our server was friendly and make good recommendations, including the fresh fruit side. My dog, husband, and I would recommend.

    I love their burgers and beer selection! This is a cool little spot in hampden with street parking. They are usually only open for brunch but they have burger night one night a week They have burger and beer night on Wednesday and it's 15$ The service is great- they are efficient and the food is amazing. It's beautiful inside like a little rustic cottage vibe with a wall of wines. They also have a nice little porch with two tables.

    I am a transplant back to Baltimore, and the Safeway in Charles Village has consistently been one…read moreof the most positive parts of my routine. The staff is always kind and hardworking, but today I want to specifically recognize an employee named Baron. I have watched Baron work over the years. He is almost always by himself, quietly focused, working hard, and never drawing attention to himself. He is the kind of employee who just gets the job done. Because of how focused he always is, I honestly expected that when I asked for help today, he might say no--and I would have completely understood. This morning around 8:00 a.m., I was shopping for white grapes for a patient I care for. She is not able to get around easily, and one of her simple joys is having white grapes when I come back from the store. There were none available on the floor, and Baron was in the middle of unloading and checking in what looked like a very large shipment--many packages, clearly a lot of work. Without hesitation, Baron said yes. He went all the way to the back, unpacked multiple boxes, and by the time I returned, he had gone through them and pulled the white grapes from the bottom of a box--specifically to make sure I could take them for her. I was incredibly grateful, but more importantly, the woman I care for was absolutely thrilled. What Baron did may seem small to some, but it meant everything to her--and it meant a lot to me to see that level of care and consideration. Safeway Charles Village is fortunate to have someone like Baron. His quiet dedication, work ethic, and kindness truly stood out today. Thank you, Baron, and thank you to the entire Safeway Charles Village team for all that you do.

I was told I can wait another 10 minutes for thighs and legs. There were only 2 people at the counter was each were serving only either hot food or the deli. I did discover they were short staffed due to a call out. Service was slow. I did appreciate the lady that waited on me by changing her gloves but they should have tongs for the chicken. I was not to thrilled with how much she scooped the macaroni and cheese, she barely filled the container. The meal was close to 10 dollars. By the time I returned to my office which is down the street and sat down to eat I found the food to be luke warm. After taking a couple of bites, the macaroni and cheese reminded me of KFC's macaroni and cheese, not my fav. The chicken was ok and the wing was on the small side. I don't think I will return here for lunch.

I'm definitely going to order from Wegmans again, especially those items. They were perfect! But back to the store itself. They will pretty much have everything you need. They have some of my favorite items like frozen jasmine rice in individual packets. You can get them in white or brown. They're both delicious. I also love the frozen vegetables. They have the best selection of frozen vegetables. Especially frozen spinach. Most grocery stores only give you the champ. Spinach, Wegmans will give you the whole leaf frozen spinach. I love that.
