I was looking for a quick lunch near the Baltimore Penn Station. I wandered past the local McDonald's, and saw this amazingly attractive museum diner, Nancy's by SNAC, which was just finishing lunch service, but it was pouring rain, so I took a chance to drop in. The art wasn't an afterthought: it was a bold visual metaphor for the meal to come. Kevin greeted me instantly and stopped to see what I might want to have. I saw others really enjoying their sandwiches and breakfast eggs, but I saw the special was chipped beef on biscuits, and I really wanted to try the biscuits, so I ordered it, along with scrambled eggs. The gravy was perfect on the chipped beef, and it was lathered over the flaky biscuits. Kevin felt sorry for me and slipped me two extra biscuits, and we had a minute to chat about the business, and his former career as a special educaiton teacher. Everything about Nancy's, including the value of the meal, makes it a definite reason to visit again when I return to Baltimore: I loved the straightforward high quality food, the ambience of the art; the genunine hospitality, the relationship to the art gallery next door!

Love the artistic atmosphere, customer service and yummy treats. Great place to work from in the morning or meet up with someone for a coffee and brunch. Look forward to coming back and checking out the art more. Thanks for the chat Kevin and incredible homemade bread pudding!

Baltimore's Hottest Breakfast Joint. This spot has everything. An art gallery. Jump suits. Cider tastings. Extremely reasonable and delicious! Kevin took great care of us! Will be back.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YUM! This restaurant is the only reason I'd ever go over to North Ave. Ever since MICA and JHU took over the neighborhood has gone down hill but Nancy's brings the BALTIMORE and the COMMUNITY back! Cornbread and soups to die for. BIG SANDWICHES oatmeal like mom used to make and grits Grits GRITS! Kevin and his husband are masters and their staff are welcoming and cheerful. Great place to sit down and get some work done with a cup of never ending coffee. Family friendly as well the kids love Uncle Kevin and ask to go back (mainly for the oatmeal). Seriously the oatmeal is DELICIOUS. Just need them to buy RAPA scrapple and I'll move the rating from 4.89 stars to 5.1

The customer service was amazing. I enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich and the lemon ginger tea. I'm definitely going back.

We went inside (all 12 of us!) and they asked if we wanted to sit In the main bar area or go up to the 3rd floor, where they would put on the game on two 8ft projector screens They took our food and drink orders and worked their asses off to be hospitable. 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! They told us the night before, they had live jazz. Looking forward to see how they grow moving forward

The staff was super friendly, and the manager even came by to check on us, which was a nice touch. We ordered the 16" pepperoni pizza, which was perfect for two people and we still had leftovers to take home. It does feel like the restaurant is still ironing out a few small kinks, but overall it was a good experience and I'd come back to see how they continue to grow.

We were staying at the Lord Baltimore Hotel around the corner and since our hotel did not have a…read morerestaurant, it was quite convenient to come to the Kimpton Hotel. 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.

We were delighted to find out that this place is open until 10:00 pm (a rare find in Baltimore)…read morewhen we were in the neighborhood later one evening and needed a drink and a snack. The space is gorgeous - super high ceilings, giant chandelier, velvet couches - a very old school elegant vibe. The beer and wine selection were small, but very good. We split the rigatoni bolognese, which was phenomenal. The pasta was cooked properly and the sauce was chunky and tangy and amazing. Would definitely come back for a real meal at some point.
