Small cozy spot with a couple tables inside, you order off the menu up at the counter. Great spot to get some work or reading done. Would def come back. I ordered the egg plate which includes 2 eggs ur way, grits or potatoes, you pick your protein. It was solid and definitely filling for an entree. My friends enjoyed their food/fresh juices as well.

If you're looking for a brunch spot in Baltimore that understands indulgence, flavor, and vibes,…read moreSwill by Blacksmith delivers. We were lucky to experience this cute and cozy restaurant earlier today. When I say experience, I mean it...we were treated so well and enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the drinks and to the main dishes. Just to give you an idea of the vibe ...as you walk in, the exposed brick walls and cozy, low-lit atmosphere give it that modern industrial charm, relaxed, but still elevated. It feels like the kind of place where brunch easily turns into a full afternoon. It feels like you're stepping back into the past, but it's still feels very new and fresh. Now, let's get to the food and drinks. The French toast is the star. Thick-cut, golden, and perfectly crisp on the outside while soft and slightly custardy inside. Lightly dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with syrup from a special carafe. It's a rich flavor without being overly sweet. Not to forget, it's topped with a dollop of whipped cream and berries. The chicken and waffles? A solid win. The waffle is fluffy with crispy edges, and the seasoned wings bring that savory balance. Sweet, crunchy...everything you want in one bite. Also, for an appetizer try the honey honey old bay wings and the chicken tacos, so delicious. Scrambled eggs were creamy and well-seasoned, and the breakfast meats (from classic sausage to crispy bacon) rounded everything out nicely. The cocktails are no afterthought. The margarita-style drink came in a chilled glass with a sugared rim, refreshing, slightly tart. Also, on the menu are a different types of juices and they're very open to making a perfect mix for you...a virgin blend or something spicier. Lastly, but definitely not least, Chef Heather is so sweet and very welcoming to us...this made everything even more special. Please come and support this local business that is perfect for a large group gathering, solo outing, small group gathering, just stopping in to get a coffee or a juice, and anything in between these. Swill by Blacksmiths is a great spot, with flavorful food, and this spot is unapologetically brunchy.

I woke up with grits on my mind, and decided to wrap up Love Weekend with a solo date to Swill for…read morebreakfast. Swill is cozy, warm, and inviting. As my first visit, I wanted to play it safe and order foundational pieces to study the how and why of the creamy grits, perfectly scrambled eggs, and Bang Bang Shrimp. Served in a martini glass atop of small bed of spring mix and drizzled with yummy bang bang sauce, the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and battered, with a light Old Bay dusting. The grits were indeed creamy with an option to add shredded cheese, and that I did. I'll have to study how the eggs came out looking and tasting so fluffy, chef's kiss! My matcha latte was made with oat milk, sweetened modestly, and I could taste the delicious hint of nutmeg - so good! Chef Heather provided attentive and steady service throughout. Swill has a solid foundation in Baltimore, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more dishes!

You don't need to look anywhere else for breakfast! But the price is definitely a little high... but quality and beautiful space requires proper compensation. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor with beautiful decor. The top floor is a sitting lounging area where people can study, work and eat casually. The steak and cheese bagel is mind blowingly good! It tastes like slow brazed beef and not like Steak and cheese meat. I will definitely back with my family. It's right across the street from Hyatt Place.

I was sent to order at the counter and said I wanted to eat there. I was told to go back to the hostess to be seated. When seated, I was told I needed to order a full breakfast or go back to the counter to order and be sent outside. You serve food. There are a dozen open tables. And every person there ignored me until I asked for service. They're obviously popular. Definitely their food not their service.

There's also a bar on the first floor, but mostly for sitting at the actual bar, plus you can sit outside. Super friendly owners and staff. The buffalo wings were out of this world - great size, crisp, and the sauce was addictive. Lots of sports memorabilia on the walls as well, so cool to see! Must visit!

It feels like your favorite local spot and can get crowded so make sure to get there before dinner time if you want to sit and eat on the weekend. I've tried a few items including the steak poutine and the simple salad. If you're just looking for a beer and a snack, the munion dip is a great option. My favorite dish is the chicken tenders. I think Ellie's does it best as the chicken comes out crispy and hot and they have a few sauces to choose from. Ellie's is a great spot if you're in Canton and want some good bar fare!
