    Cheesesteak in half
    Heidi F.

    What an awesome spot?!? We stopped in from a recommendation on a Tuesday and was so impressed. Service was really friendly and informative. We shared the cheese steak and they cut it in half for us - it was awesome! The steak flavorful, bread soft and toppings fresh. This might be one of the best orange crushes I've had ever. It was really delicious! The fish and chips we are told are a house favorite and I can see why. This place is awesome and I'll definitely be back!

    You can never go wrong here! Their wings, subs and even egg rolls are all BOMB! I will say it can get super busy and crazy on some nights depending on what's happening outside. They are located on Cross Street so weekends here get busy and they don't offer carry out on game days. It's nice though, I feel like they have quiet areas and louder areas so you can enjoy the games however you like.

    Half cheesesteak
    Melinda S.

    We stopped in here to try a cheesesteak since we had heard good things. It's a cool, casual atmosphere with a good amount of seating. Our server was friendly and checked on us regularly and food came out quickly. We were sharing one sandwich and they kindly cut it for us and gave each of us a bag of chips which I thought was really nice. The sandwich itself was just okay in my opinion. It was generously filled and the bread was nice, but I felt it needed more flavor personally. But a lot of people seem to like it so check it out for yourself! Even though the cheesesteak wasn't my preference, there were a lot of other menu items that sounded good to me and I liked the service and atmosphere, so I'd definitely go back to try other stuff!

    Crab Pretzel
    Kea A.

    If you're craving good food, good vibes, and even better deals -- MaGerks Pub has you covered. The crab pretzel is cheesy but I must admit I have had some that are better. But the Cheesesteak is a must (and 50% off dine in every Thursday from 7pm-10pm! Great drinks, friendly service, and that classic Fed Hill neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back. Definitely a Baltimore gem!

    Kudos to the bartenders!!! Conveniently located pub full with great vibes. I love how they have 2 bars with very comfortable seating . The service and food is great . Reasonably priced . No complaints

    Steak & Cheese Eggrolls

    Food was decent. Straightforward drinks were good but definitely not the place for a quality mixed cocktail. Solid vibe for game days

    Chicken Philly
    Angel E.

    This pub took me by surprise. My friend told me about a spot with great philly's and I had to give it a try. It was a game day in Baltimore for the orioles, so the pub became busy as soon as we sat down. We sat at the bar which wasn't too noisy. They do offer upstairs and downstairs traditional tabletop seating. The bartender was attentive and asked for our drink orders right away. I ordered water as was saving my taste buds for a sandwich. I decided on the chicken Philly and I added fried onions. It came with a pickle and potato chips. My friend ordered the Philly egg rolls with sweet potato fries. The food came out and the sandwich was huge. It was no way I was going to eat the whole thing. I took a bite and fell in love. It was so juicy and flavorful. I tried the egg rolls and geez, so goooood!!!! I will be back to get another one when I'm back in Baltimore!

    MaGerk salad (1/2 portion)
    Thomas G.

    The last few visits have been positive. The Jam-On burger is a must for us and ask of a little JO sauce on the side. It's a great burger if you like blue cheese. Also got the MaGerk Salad with cranberries, candied nuts and vinaigrette. Good stuff and our waiter was on the top of his game.

    When people ask, I usually tell them I'm from filly so I know what trash smells like. But originally, I'm from class, Montgomery county, to be exact, Potomac Maryland to be more exact. These fellas make the most extraordinary filly cheese steaks I've ever put in my mouth, and I've put many things in my mouth. If you are craving an original filly cheesesteak without having to go to bum crab sports filly, then come to magerks. Home of the fillideplhia Eagles, cheesesteaks, and Rocky's

When we arrived back at our hotel bar they were about to close and suggested we check out this place. We followed there advice and were so glad we did. Upon entry they appeared to be closng down and said they go with the number of patrons to determine their closing time. This worked out greatly as once we arrived and only two other patrons were at the bar a swarm soon followed. Our favorite bartender is Laura. I noticed a huge difference in her making my drink and the other bartenders who only ask for your order but give no suggestions, do not offer to allow you to sample something on tap, and the potency. I soon realized that I will only recommend this place to others if Laura is the bartender. There were times we wanted to try something new, she asked a few questions and handcrafted us the perfect drink. Her personality was amazing, drinks were strong, and she kept people wanting to drink and be apart of the banter. If Laura isn't there I am not going. We went two nights in a row and the second night we were there we brought with us a couple we met who were in Bmore from Cleveland for a cruise. They enjoyed the place but it was missing her personality, patrons, and the drinks weren't as handcrafted, special or potent. now for the food. This is by far a pub with the best food I have ever tasted. I ordered the fish and chips that was an amazing fleshy piece of cob hand breaded and a jambalaya that too this day I am still dreaming about with its chunks of chicken breast, sauteed small pieces of sausage and gravy like texture filled with flavor that was bold and packed a welcomed punch. My partner had some type of irish sausage dish and loved it. We will return to visit Laura this spring for our next rendevous here for sure.

We stopped by on a Friday for lunch and they posted a strong emphasis on live entertainment. A friend who frequents the area mentioned their music nights are especially popular and can draw quite a crowd. The location sits right on the waterfront, and I can imagine the sunsets here must be spectacular. Although it is conveniently located just off the main highway not far from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, traffic noise never intruded on the dining experience. Our server was in the process of training a new staff member, and both were friendly, attentive, and polite throughout the meal. Menus are provided at the table, though prices are accessed by scanning a QR code. Pricing was very reasonable, and the menu offered a nice variety of both seafood and non-seafood options. The fish sandwich can be ordered either fried or grilled. The fish tasted fresh and flavorful, and the sandwich itself was satisfying without being overly heavy. While there was no house-made sauce, the freshly made potato chips were nice and thick, crisp and a standout side. Our friends shared a burger and a basket of fried shrimp, both of which they thoroughly enjoyed. Cold drinks arrived promptly and were perfect for the warm waterfront atmosphere. There were no overly complicated dishes or unexpected twists on the menu, but everything we ordered was well prepared, generously portioned, and tasty. This is definitely a spot I would recommend if you are in the area. Don't let the daytime appearance fool you -- this place clearly comes alive once the crowd and music arrive.

My wife saw they had black bean soup and a pork special, so we decided to stay and were seated. Since our last visit about a year ago, they've made some changes. The seating has been updated, with a second bar added along with high-top tables and booths. The space looks very nice. Our server came over, took our drink order, and we asked for a bowl of the black bean soup. When he returned, my wife asked how the pork special was, and he said it was very good, so she ordered it. I ordered the cod fish and chips. When the food came out, everything looked good at first. Unfortunately, the fish and chips were very greasy -- it seemed like the fries were placed on the plate to soak up the grease from the fish. My wife's pork dish was worse. She was given two slices with connective tissue running through them that were so tough she couldn't even get a fork into them. The other piece was also extremely tough and difficult to cut, and the gravy had no flavor. When our server finally came back to check on us, my wife showed him the pork. His response was simply that he would let the manager know and take it off the bill. There was no offer to replace the dish or bring her something else to eat. After that, we never saw him again. My wife eventually asked another server for tea, which a different server brought. Later, another server came by to see if we were finished. I asked how much the eggnog was, and she quoted the price for a bottle, said I just want a glass, she said I'll get you a menu I explained to another waitress I just wanted a glass. Eventually, I got it -- though I asked for it without ice, and it still came with ice. At that point, I just drank it. The best thing was the bean soup. Overall, this was not a good meal and honestly the worst experience we've had in the 10+ years we've been coming here. Between the food quality and the lack of follow-up from our server, it was very disappointing. It will be quite a while before we return.

They almost weren't going to let us in, but my g/f assured we just needed to eat, and they said since it was before 9 PM, it'd be ok. I enjoyed my Shepherd's Pie, a solid option here. After eating, there was dancing on the dance floor and a couple of people I knew. Then, my g/f went out to the dance floor. I'm sitting at the table with my g/f's pre-teen daughter who fell asleep. It was awkward for me especially since someone asked me if she was ok, and I said she's just tired. We left sometime in the midnight hour.
