We've stopped by Riverside a couple of times now and have enjoyed our food. It's homey tavern food…read moredone right. The first time I recall having a shrimp salad sandwich which was the special of the day served with fries and it was a good portion. The second time around I got the cheese steak with whiz and I wasn't as big a fan of this. I actually ended up switching with my bf who got a tuna salad which tasted fresh and had bits of candied pecans which offset the pepperiness of the tuna crust. Service is always fast and friendly- a good neighborhood place to stop in for drinks and tavern ish fare. More a 3.5 than a 3. (Wish Yelp would implement half stars :/)

I love the fried chicken Caesar wraps - though the chicken pieces can be too big but love them nonetheless and hits the spot. The fries... ARE AMAZING. Idk what they do but the fries are so tasty. I like to have mine with a side of Caesar dressing. Also had the Brussels sprouts and they are coated in a tangy sweet and savory sauce that's really good.

A superb breakfast spot here in the Locust Point neighborhood of South Baltimore…read more Just down the street from me, and a place I try to pop into at least once or twice a month -- I just realized I've never provided a review for it so here it goes: Taking advantage of a cool summer morning, we sat out on the patio and enjoyed a delicious breakfast which included, brussels sprouts, stuffed ricotta French toast with blueberry compote, scrambled eggs with cheddar, sausage, links, and their delicious cheese grits. We also grabbed an order of their super skinny and crispy french fries. The total with drinks came to around the mid $40s (before tip) and the customer service was friendly and helpful, as well as a bonus short wait for the food. Everything was delicious. They also offer a great variety of sandwiches and drinks at brunch and a great seasonal menu. Absolutely worth your time if you are in the area and looking for great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and fantastic service.

DJ Razor Sharp was definitely keeping the energy going on the 1s & 2s all night. The guests were super friendly and even took the time to teach my husband and I a few new moves, which made the experience even better. I had a yummy glass of prosecco. The deviled eggs weren't really my favorite, but the crab egg rolls, wings, and fries were all really good. And the pound cake? Absolutely immaculate. Great vibes, good music, friendly people, and good food. I'll definitely be back soon!

The food came at a reasonable time. Food was good but some things were much better than others. The skillet cornbread was heavily! Biscuits were good but the apple butter had a weird taste I didn't care for. I would have preferred them with jam. I also had the fried catfish and grits. The catfish was so good. The grits were good too but the gravy on the grits were a little salty and way too peppery. Because of that, I couldn't fully enjoy my grits. Also, for bottomless drinks (mimosas and sangrias), it would be great if they had pitchers and carafes because when the bar got backed up, some of the ladies at my table and I would have to wait for long periods for our glasses to be refilled. Overall, a great brunch. It has potential to be so much better. I do plan to return and I hope my next visit will be better.

We stopped in at The Grill off Quarterfield Road, and right away the service stood out -- friendly,…read moreattentive, and on point even with the weekend crowd. You can tell people really like this place. Lots of options on the menu. I went with the classic Eggs Benedict, which here comes with an interesting twist -- they add cheddar cheese. That was new to me. My daughter ordered the Belgian waffle with sausage. They didn't ask patty or link, so we rolled the dice -- it came as links, and she wasted no time eating them. The waffle filled her up quickly. Fresh blueberries on top, crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and sweet in all the right ways. When my Eggs Benedict arrived, it looked a little small at first and the potatoes barely filled the plate. But don't let that fool you. What a flavor. What a presentation. The hollandaise was perfect -- thick enough that it barely dripped off the muffins. Once the creamy yolk broke and mixed into that sauce, it was game over. The cheddar addition actually works, giving the whole dish another layer of richness. This is top-tier classic Benedict. Coffee was solid, the atmosphere cozy, and the pricing surprised me in a good way. My daughter's meal was $5.99, with only a $0.75 upcharge for juice, which is hard to beat these days. Good service, good food, and a comfortable place to sit down and eat. We'll definitely be back!!!

I recommend making a reservation if you're coming on a weekend morning. They had beignets as a special and those were tasty. A little crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside with powdered sugar on top. I ordered the corned beef hash and it was ok. Service was lackluster. We did not see our waitress after the food arrived and had to flag someone down to ask for the check. There was no butter in the table for toast- we asked a food runner in lieu of the waitress but did not get it.

First Watch -- Savory Wins, Sweet Still Searching…read more After completing a 3-peat, here's my conclusion: The savory items at this chain are my cup of tea. The coffee is bold and strong, and for the price, getting a full pot that keeps you going without needing refills is a great value. The drink selection looks limited at first, but they quietly offer some very tasty juices. The kale apple stands out for me -- not normally my thing, but it works. I think there are better places for pancakes. I think there are better places for French toast. That said, it's still worth trying them -- what's missing for me might shine through for you. Where First Watch really wins: * Bacon Egg & Cheese (artisanal level good) * Million Dollar Potatoes (upgrade every time) * Crispy regular bacon * Sausage breakfast plates * Thoughtfully built savory options These plates feel crafted, not just assembled. The atmosphere brings a modern diner / brunch vibe that fits perfectly with what people are looking for today. Bright, busy, and comfortable. Location tip: Try not to sit near the kitchen -- it gets loud with staff conversations. Service is mixed * Some staff members are excellent * Others feel more transactional If you're ordering eggs, go scrambled or omelette over over-easy. Mine were undercooked previously, and it's an easy fix. Good coffee Strong savory menu Modern brunch vibe Some inconsistency Sweet items not standout (for me) That still lands First Watch at 4 stars. And with the lack of strong brunch options nearby, this is currently top dog for me. Still searching for that great French toast and pancakes.

Every time I come home from Austin, Texas, I have to get my seafood fix! My two must-stop spots are…read morePappas Seafood House and G&M. I have to admit, G&M's crab cake was much tastier this visit, although I did find three large pieces of crab shell, which was disappointing. Pappas, on the other hand, still wins when it comes to sides and customer service. The Caesar salad, Santa Fe egg rolls, scallops, and loaded baked potato were absolutely superb. I even ordered an extra side of scallops to go! That said, for the price of their crab cakes, I was disappointed. They were very bland and had far too much filler. I'd strongly recommend revisiting the recipe because the rest of the meal was outstanding. In my experience, the Cockeysville location has consistently been better than the Glen Burnie location.

They put processed cheese slices on top when you order it with cheese. Presentation and taste were a hard pass for me. Pancakes were awful, the texture of chewing rubber. Dense and chewy with a box mix batter taste. I was shocked at how bad the food was because they were packed when I got there. That was a waste of $17. Either I ordered the wrong thing or we all got bamboozled? While it didn't feed my soul, maybe it feeds yours?
