Inside

Did you know Frazier's did breakfast?! It's perhaps the best diner food around, the service was great and honestly yes it's a dive but the bacon is crispy, and the pancakes are super fluffy! I kind of prefer Frazier's when it's empty versus the traditional very crowded slow service at the bar where you have to wait for a long time to get a drink. I will say during breakfast service it was a lot of the OG Hamden crowd and we stood out a little bit, but it was really quite delicious. Evidently, there are other food menu items are good, but I literally had not eaten here until recently for breakfast. The booth and diner vibes is really a hit in the morning light.

Burger

Recently visited to watch a Ravens game. Frazier's gives neighborhood dive bar. Complete with worn in pool table and jukebox. While here I ordered a few things. I took advantage of their shrimp special. One pound for 15.00. Shrimp were prepared perfectly. They were plump, fresh and adequately seasoned. I also ordered the mussels. Now this is where we had an issue. Some were overdone and some were underdone. Also they were tart. I sent them back and opted for a burger. The burger was deelish! Cooked to my specifications and served hot! Also while here I had a couple of delightfully boozy vodka tonics. Our server was amazing considering she had a hand injury and the only server on game day! Of course I'd come back because Frazier's is a Hampden staple, prices are great and everyone has an off day. SYOY!

Chicken ceasar wrap
Kelly P.

I'm not sure how many reviews start with coleslaw but this one will. It's clearly homemade, very fresh, somehow crunchy and creamy at the same time, and well flavored. The ribs: only available on Wednesdays. Extremely generous portion, paired with the coleslaw and fries, all for $10. They were very meaty. I'd go so far as to say: substantial. Good flavor, fall-off-the-bone tender, and a bit of crust on the exterior. The sauce would be improved by adding more spice. The French fries, while not necessarily anything special, were crunchy and not overly salted. They were uniformly cooked and pleasingly hot. The southwest eggrolls with sriracha ranch dressing were a solid app choice. The temperature and texture were on point. My chicken Caesar wrap was okay, I probably filled up too much on egg rolls to make a legit judgment. Our server Brooke was delightful in every way. We enjoyed the taxidermy (bigass Caribou!), the music, the diverse crowd and vibes brought to you by vintage Baltimore memorabilia. As my partner says: 7.5/10 would munch again.

Steak and broccoli
Lloyd G.

Had a great time here eight steak, broccoli, and applesauce. The Server was very kind. Her name was Catherine. I believe gave her a $30 tip because she was very pleasant and tentative, even though they weren't busy, but I've seen it where people weren't busy and they didn't do very much Ambience was very relaxed and chill and family friendly would come back again and get their steak which was quite delicious

The bar
Lucretia M.

Services was good. The menu has a good selection with decent prices. I had the old bay wings they were good. My sister had the crab pretzel which she also enjoyed. The drinks were the way I like them strong. It's a nice size place and it also has two pool tables, could be a great hangout place.

Margarita (ask James to make it! )
Dominique D.

So I'm back again after a work trip!!! A whole year later and the service and hospitality remains consistent! I came in on a weekday and the music was playing and James the bartender was moving and shaking. I love that he pays each and every customer equal respect. I sat at the bar and watched him manage a crowded bar and he killed it!! He checked in with us frequently and never left us hanging. His margaritas 10/10!!! Be sure to have him make you one! The kitchen was closed by the time we arrived but the cocktails and beers made up for the disappointment!!! Thank you James for making my Wednesday a chill one!!! Everyone come see him as you'll have an experience you won't forget!

Checked out Frazier's on a Wednesday and it did not disappoint. The food and service were great. My husband loved the happy hour rib special. This is a place that is family friendly restaurant but later in the evening turns into a nice place for pool, music, and fun. The decor is eclectic and charming just like Baltimore.

Honey garlic wings
MiMi K.

I absolutely love this spot. It's like a local watering hole and neighborhood gem mixed in one. I have tried all my personal favorites and never been disappointed, today was no different. I got the crab cake sliders and honey garlic wings and everything was good. I wish my wings were a bit more crispy but the flavor was great. Stop by and try the burger, ribs or wings and thank me later. Slide in a game of pool afterwards, in the small bar area! Good food & fun all in one!

Mozzarella sticks
Nikki M.

This is a fun dive bar in Hamden Baltimore. Very relaxed atmosphere. Couple pool tables. Nice crowd. From all ages and backgrounds. Food was great. Parking - all around - street parking. We ordered wings - 5 honey old Nsy 5 honey mustard. Very good. Mozzarella sticks were amazing. Old bay fries. Def great. Not too salty like some places make them. And chicken tenders. We're great. Not too fried. Not too much batter. Honestly. Great.

Greek salad
Bella C.

If you're looking for a chill and laidback vibe with good bar and affordable bar food. You've found your place! Great happy hour deals and pretty good service. Usually seat yourself and friendly folks! Burgers and chicken cheesesteak and tuna melt and all the apps and salads are great! We don't usually get the same thing everytime and are working our way through the menu! Nothing to disappoint so far. Great fun with a group too! Pool tables and lots of TVS for game time. I recommend this place if it's what you're looking for!

Frazier's is always a great dive to pop in for drinks when having a night out. I haven't had much food here so I cant comment on that but they have some of the most economical yet strong drinks on the Avenue so we always make it a stop when hitting multiple bars in the area. Its SUPER divey so you have to know what your getting before you head in. So if you are looking for something unassuming where you can have a few drinks in a fun atmosphere then this is it. A good bar, with good drinks with nice staff.

Frazier's feels as if you've walked into a quintessential neighborhood bar. It's simple, homey, and classic Baltimore. Seriously - don't expect much more than your friendly neighborhood bar. While I haven't had much here other than beer, I've enjoyed every visit and always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Frazier's has a fairly large space including booths, bar seating, individual tables, and outdoor seating. As for ambiance, sports memorabilia, bobble heads, and beer signs embellish the walls and the constant lul of conversations fills the air. There's even a few pool tables and a jukebox in the back to keep you entertained. There's normally some sort of sports game on the television to distract you as you knock back a few cold ones too. Good beer at good prices served by good people. What more can I say?

Pool table

This past weekend was the first time I've actually eaten INSIDE Frazier's. I've had takeout from this spot multiple times, and last year I sat outside, but this past Sunday was my first full indoor experience! Frazier's is really long, lol. I feel like you walk miles just to get to the bar. Between the front door and the bar is a bunch of tables, and an area that made me think of a stage, requiring steps, and tables are there too. That's actually where my group sat. The bar is fully stocked with alcohol and beer, and past that are 2 pool tables in good condition and bathrooms. While the place seems super clean and immaculate, it's a dive. This is cool because I love dives. I went with Loose Canon as my drink of choice. I was torn between the gyro and shrimp salad sandwich. On my friend's advice, I went with the shrimp salad sandwich but had it in wrap form. I also decided to upgrade the chips that usually accompany a Frazier's sandwich to fries. The wrap looked amazing when it arrived at the table, and the fries were cooked to my desired consistency (crisp edges). Unfortunately, I bit into my wrap and was assaulted by Old Bay. [sigh] I am not from MD and so I don't get the obsession with this seasoning. And it irritates me that it's on everything EXCEPT actual food descriptions because I wouldn't order those items. Despite that, the shrimp was plentiful and I think without the Old Bay I would have loved the wrap. Thank goodness for the fries! Service was good and I definitely will be back for the gyro!

Great little stage area near front entrance. This is my kids meeting Krampus just before Xmas 2023.

I had the biggest fish sandwich of my life (and it tasted good too), we shared wings, fries, burgers, mozzarella sticks, all were good, oh and the jerk chicken quesadilla . They even worked out pricing and tried to see if the catering menu would be more beneficial for us (but it made more sense to order seperately) We all agreed we would go back if we're in the area again!

One was visibly grey and desiccated and made it up to us, it made the entire table smell disgusting. The other 3 looked okay visually, but smelled rotten. I've never had an issue with oysters here before. I'm not sure if the shuckers were having an off day, but man. I was so disappointed! We were seated upstairs and our service was also lacking a bit, not getting refills quickly, etc. definitely not the best time!

I turned back around to photograph the signage, while my party headed to the bar exit door. When I turned back to leave, a manager coming down the stairs glaring at me asked me, "Is everything all right?" Me: Yes, I was taking a pic. Manager: I know. I wanted to know if everything is ok. Still in same weird vein, like a dog with a fav chew toy. Me: Is there a problem with me taking a pic? Manager: I didn't ask you why you were taking a pic. I wanted to know if something was wrong. You were over there taking a pic and the hostess wasn't there. Sidebar: This same manager passed our table at least 3 times during our visit with no greeting, nor stopping by our table to check in with a little small talk. NOW....he asks me is something wrong nary a smile but with a .....what in the world is she doing. Me: YES, this is petty. No, you asked me if something was wrong BECAUSE I was taking a pic. If I needed something, then I'd ask the waiters at the next stand (only a few tables away) You saw us sitting at the table at the entrance and never spoke to us once. I will never return! RUDE MANAGER Interaction 0/5 Note: All managers, stop by each diner's table, greet customers with a smile, DON'T be obnoxious and rude. THANK patrons, APOLOGIZE when something goes wrong, always say COME BACK AND SEE US! FYI: Manager for your information, I'm a Yelper. I enjoy leaving honest and detailed feedback on places I visit. My time and money are valuable to me as I curate adventures. This was most definitely not one of those times!

Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.
