    This is a Lisa special I just let her make whatever she wants. It's all good.

    Food and service are excellent. I spend at least an hour there when I go for breakfast. Lisa and Ava make everyone feel at home. A lot of banter with the customers is to be expected. The locals like to talk politics so if you're sensitive to that go somewhere else.

    A landmark in Middle River since 1947, Coffman's is a basic, no frills breakfast/lunch bar, women owned and operated. I remember my Dad bringing me here as a kid. They offer a limited menu but the food is good and the price is excellent! I had the breakfast special, which was a huge plate of hash browns, scrambled eggs, well done bacon and toast. All were perfectly cooked to order and in under 5 minutes. An excellent place for a quick but good lunch. Eat in or take out. They are famous for their hot dogs. I'll update when I return for those.

    This review is for the Coffman's chili dog. Definitely one of my favorite indulgences. It's your standard hot dog in a sloppy mess of a bun filled with chili, mustard and onions. I am not a big portion person, but man, I could crush two or possibly even three in one sitting. They also have homemade soups which are pretty good, and I want to try their burger too. There are other menu items as well, posted on the wall above the cook's window. But I just can't get around ordering that hot dog when I am in the Middle River area. Service is always pleasant and quick. It is also very cheap so bring cash; there is a $10 min for debit/credit cards, which would be a lot of food! The space is an old-time lunch counter that has been around for decades, and that alone is worth checking out. And don't just take my word for it. I've heard this is a favorite spot for MASN analyst David Johnson, of Orioles pitching fame.

    I haven't been to the Panera Bread in White Marsh in a very long time, but today I decided to stop…read morein because I was in a rush. I ordered a mango smoothie and an egg and cheese croissant sandwich with tomato. My order was a Rapid Pick-Up order, and when I arrived, the screen showed that my order was ready. However, it was not on the Rapid Pick-Up shelf. I honestly don't understand why the system is showing orders as "ready" when they clearly aren't actually ready. I can only assume they may be doing this to make it appear in their system that they aren't behind on orders or something along those lines. I waited an additional seven minutes after my order showed as ready before I received my food. This could also create a serious problem for delivery drivers. If the system says an order is ready when it actually isn't, it can make it look like the driver is late picking up the food when the delay is actually on the restaurant's end. There was an elderly employee working in the bakery who was very sweet and tried to help me. She said she wasn't sure why my order was showing as ready and directed me to ask someone else. I then saw a mango smoothie sitting on the counter behind the employee making smoothies. I gave her my name and said, "I think that's mine." She confirmed that it was my smoothie but told me I couldn't have it yet because they had to wait for the bags. I explained that I had personally placed the order and was not picking up a DoorDash or other delivery order. I understand that there may be procedures for delivery orders, but I don't understand why a regular customer who placed their own order couldn't receive their already-prepared drink while waiting for their food. Why let a cold smoothie sit there and melt when I could be drinking it while waiting for my sandwich? A man walked by, and I'm assuming he was the manager because of the way he addressed me. He said, in a very authoritarian tone, "Do you want us to break the rules?" He then picked up my smoothie, put it in front of me rather forcefully, and said, "Here, we'll break the rules for you." I was honestly taken aback because I never asked anyone to break any rules. I was simply explaining that this was my personal order, not a delivery order, and that I didn't see the logic in letting my smoothie sit there and melt while I waited for my food. I understand employees have procedures they have to follow, but there was absolutely no reason for the interaction to be handled with that type of attitude. Unfortunately, the food itself was also disappointing. They did give me the correct croissant, but it was not toasted or warmed properly, and it was extremely dry. I specifically requested no salt and pepper, but there was salt and pepper on the sandwich. I also paid for a slice of tomato, and there was no tomato at all. The smoothie still had chunks of ice that weren't blended properly, and it didn't taste particularly good either. Overall, the customer service was horrible, my order was not actually ready when the system said it was, and my food was not prepared correctly. I understand following procedures, but customers should still be treated with basic courtesy and respect. I just won't be coming back to this location. If someone is not picking up a delivery order, I genuinely don't understand why you wouldn't give them their drink when they are still waiting for their food. And if the restaurant's system is going to tell customers and delivery drivers that orders are ready when they're not, that is something management really needs to look into. This was a very disappointing experience from start to finish.

On the plus side my family enjoyed the ribs and crab balls. On the negative side, the fish in my fish and chips was painfully thin and small. Normally you get a nice chunky piece of fish when you get fish and chips. Not only that, l've never had fish and chips where the skin was on the fish. I left most of the skin behind, but ate some of it because the portion was so small. I had to eat something. Please have the chef look up what fish and chips is supposed to look like. Despite being the only server, our wait person was outstanding - it wasn't their fault that they had to handle the entire dining room. . Also appreciated the carafe of water on the table - but why no ice -had to drink lukewarm water. Make sure to ask for prices upfront and verify-for a single crabcake entrée, we paid $63 when it's advertised online as 30. Let the buyer beware.. Wouldn't feel a need to return at this point, too many other better options.

I popped in to The Local with one of my friends for a much needed happy hour and we were both in consensus we had to come back to try some other menu items and specials. $7 for the house Sangria and a mule of the day, was a great start to the evening and quite tasty. We both dined on the burger and fries and enjoyed the dish. I would've like a bit of seasoning on the burger patties and maybe a cheddar or American cheese, but that's my personal preference. I asked for the black truffle aioli on the side and that was definitely the way to go to really be able to taste the black truffle. And might I say the aioli was delicious. Our waitress was great and very attentive. The Local offers different specials on various nights and even does live music on Friday nights. This is a great place on the Avenue to enjoy dishes made with ingredients from local businesses and enjoy a delicious meal.
