    Delicious food, fun atmosphere, great service. Came on a Friday with reservations. Service was quick and helpful. We got the asparagus tempura - wow, I'd come back for this alone! Delish. Also got a smash burger and truffle fries. Both also amazing. We got some drinks too. In and out in under an hour or so. We will definitely be back to try more things but loved what we got!!

    Ordered Cherries Garcia Negroni and Frosé! The Negroni was a perfect mix of dark and sweet, with a nice twist on a delicious classic. The frose had a unique brightness with the addition of a yuzu liquor. Tart and beautiful. The service was delightful. Chels, the bar manager, was attentive and professional. They made the whole experience even better. Finally, the burrata was to die for. Fresh tomatoes, house made focaccia, we did not want for anything else. A perfect night at Sally O's!

    Service and vibes are still great--we went for their 1x:month Wednesday tarot card reading (free with a purchase of a bottle of wine, which are half off on Wednesdays!) and really enjoyed the experience. I like how they have a whole section on the wine menu from the local Old Westminster Winery! However, I have to agree with another recent review that it seems like they're somewhat relying on reputation. I used to loveeee the tacos, and last night they were underwhelming and dry, yet overly greasy. The dino nuggies and caviar was fun for the gram, but lukewarm (just like the crabonara, which also felt overcooked.) The quality of food was just not what I had experienced before. The brownie sundae was tasty but the brownie was also undercooked/tasted more like brownie batter under whipped cream. Hoping the food can get back on track!

    Ahhhh! I left this place already plotting on coming back! I visited for restaurant week and I was not disappointed. It's the cutest restaurant! We sat at the bar and ordered drinks while we waited for our table to be available. My mocktail was delicious. The food was amazing. The portions were amazing. Everyone was right about this place!

    This is the place! They are decorated for the holidays and it is such a vibe. I 100% recommend going to check them out for their holiday cocktails and delicious food. Our server was amazing, she was so nice and funny and had all the recommendations. There was an item not on menu that she easily convinced us to try- the French onion ravioli- and I would go back and get it again and again! We also tried the truffle fries (holy truffle oil Batman!), the carrots over goat (normally feta but we were happy with the replacement), and a classic smash burger.

    This place was decent of always her good thing so I finally had the chance to check it out. Parking was a bit of a struggle, considering the area in the neighborhood. The Smashburger was decent, but it was too overcooked. I would've liked it more on the medium side, but they don't really give you an option for that. The fries were OK but the garlic and everything was super heavy so I couldn't finish my fries. The drinks were good. I really enjoyed the slushy. I would like to go back and try more menu items.

    Came for the Chi Chis takeover. Chi Chis wishes they could work with ingredients this good. The Cancun was an upscaled well deserved upgrade. Staff and service were great and speedy. Bar had the right kind of dive bar feel to it.

    Sally Os will always bring it with the cute decoration and vibes inside. We went for Christmas time and the ornaments were hung great, the specialty cocktails were also so fun! I would highly recommend sitting at the bar if the small amount of tables are all taken we got food up there and had a great time with the bartenders!

    Not Nashville chicken sandwich

    This is a must stop if you are in Baltimore. The service staff is amazing. The place is not very big and they have a full bar. You can eat at the bar if the tables are full. I had the Not Nashville chicken sandwich. It was awesome. We got a Mac& cheese for the table and everyone totally enjoyed every bite. They have Mexican Coca-Cola. If you know then you know what that means. So much better than fountain or can Coca-Cola.

    Birthday cake
    Monae S.

    Sally O's was solid. My smashburger lived up to the name because I definitely smashed it. Honestly, my perfectly over easy egg and bacon made the burger itself top tier. If it wasn't for heart disease, I would triple patty that bad boy. Our server cool. My drinks were yummy. I didn't love how dense the birthday cake was but the bourbon ice cream made me smile. Maybe a drunken smile, but happy none the less. I would go back but I will say it's small and cold, so maybe bundle up if it's chilly outside. The door opens frequently and makes the place breezy

    Mushroom toast
    Kayla O.

    When Sally O's announced they were opening for Sunday Brunch, my friends and I were just like "take my money!" We patron Sally O's somewhat often and absolutely love their food so we were very excited to experience brunch. We made an 11 am reservation just to be safe. Our server, Natalie, was very kind, warm, attentive, and made some great recommendations. We started by splitting the mushroom toast and cheese curds. Both were phenomenal. The trout roe on the cheese curds brought so much amazing flavor. The mushroom toast was heaped with delicious mushrooms and there was a very favorable cream sauce. I went with the lemon ricotta Dutch baby. This thing was a monster but so delicious. The lemon curd with the blueberries that burst with eat bite was amazing. My friends got the chimichangas and the French onion Benedict. Both looked incredibly delicious. As always the service and ambience were great! I've never had a bad experience at Sally O's. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other amazing things in the menu. The salmon toast will be a must next time, I think.

    First time dining at Sally O's and definitely not our last! What a hidden gem, we absolutely LOVED our dinner here! Both cocktails were great. I'm not usually a gin fan but the Murder Hornet was fantastic! We started with the Sally's Mac and Cheese and Carnitas Quesa-Tacos. Both were excellent and we'd definitely get them again in the future. I had the CrabOnara and it was loaded with crabmeat! Great flavor. My fiancé loved the Smashburger as well! It was massive and the sauce was fantastic. Those truffle fries were the star of the show! And what better way to end a meal than a slice of birthday cake?! More restaurants should offer that! Our server, Molly, was attentive and friendly! The restaurant itself had such a cozy vibe with all of the lights and decor.

    hands down, one of my favorite restaurant week places! the food is amazing and you get so much! my friend and i split the caesar salad and the tofu for round one, i was pescatarian for 8 years so i know how tricky tofu can be to get right and i'll 100% be ordering that again next time. the smashburger and the pound cake were great as well, i left full and with a meal for the next day. the server was helpful and with us deciding our meal. i'm not sure how many servers/cooks there were but we were there a little longer than planned, we ended up being there for about 3 hours. other than that, the food and setting was great!

    This burger rocks!

    I love this place…read more It's a cafe, party spot, coworking space, third space, and so much more all in one.

It's so nice to have a place like this in the city with real people and staff who actually like their jobs. They're all so funny and kind and have such good vibes. The food here is not your average coffee shop food either and I love that. I'm tired of breads and pastries being the only option when I need a place to sit for a few hours.

Btw service is just okay, same as my previous visit. This time I ate outdoor. Although they bring the food to your table after you order at the bar, they do not return. I had to move our plates to an empty table just to clear it. Late night menu: I ordered the vegan bowl. The yams and greens were really good. The rest of the bowl items were okay. I also ordered fried plantains, which were basic, but decent nothing special... The beans were seasoned well and shockingly good, the rice was just plain white rice... Vibe 5 stars... indoor and outdoor seating It appears to be an every age group type of environment. No tvs, forcing everyone to socialize which was cool... the only down side is the music is too loud to actually hold conversations inside when there is a DJ. Street parking is available.

Its…read moreusually hard to get a breakfast buffet wrong but unfortunately this buffet experience was lackluster. They offered a variety of items: deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, chicken and waffles, beef and chorizo quesadillas, sausage, home fries, and French toast. They advertised fruit salad on the menu but they didn't have it out on the day we went. For starters, the food was lukewarm. Everything could have tasted so much better if it was warm. Even when they would refill the pans, everything was still not warm enough. The restaurant was not packed but they were slow to refill for the parties that were there. When we tried to go back for a second plate, most of the items weren't replenished and the line was getting longer. It was so bad that one group asked to pay for their drinks and leave because they weren't able to get any food. My option of each item: Deviled eggs- yolk mixture was on the drier side and bland Scrambled eggs- they were ok. Just needed to be warm Chicken and waffles- it was giving "chicken tender on eggo waffle" chicken was better than the bland waffle. It also didn't help that the syrup they had was cold and thick. It made the waffle (and French toast) colder and hard to swallow. French toast- the first batch was (with the exception of being cold) perfectly cooked and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. The refill batches were so burnt and hard to chew and they didn't bother putting powdered sugar on them. Again, the cold syrup didn't help. Beef and chorizo quesadillas- they may have been a crowd favorite because getting a second serving was hard because they kept going quickly and took a while to replenish. They just needed to be warmer and served with sour cream. Home fries- great with the peppers and onions. Just need to be warmer. Sausage- my least favorite thing because it didn't taste like Sausage. It was very dry. Sadly, the food was a epic fail. This may be a great place for cocktails because the bartender mixed our margaritas perfectly. They had a Build Your Own Margarita menu with many different flavor options. I opted for the watermelon margarita with a Tajin rim. Delicious! My friend had a pineapple mango margarita with sugar rim and he was impressed also. The drinks earned them an extra star because otherwise, I think the food and the slow refilling of the buffet earned it 2 stars.

The Polpette was to die for, hands down my favorite dish of the night. I initially wanted the Rigatoni but it was sold out so I decided on the Agnolotti and my friend got the Spaghetti alla Chitarra. The Agnolotti was not bad but the flavor was more earthy than I prefer, but my friend thought it was delicious so we swapped pastas. All in all it was cute spot to catch up with the gals the service was great. Will definitely be coming back to try the Rigatoni and some of their cocktails.

One of the people at our table had the restaurant weeks prefix that included tomato soup and beetroot pattie, an entree, vegetables, rice, naan and dessert all for $45. The rest of us just ordered off the menu and I opted for the chicken curry with rice which was fantastic and also got a side order of the garlic naan. It was super garlicky but very tasty. The restaurant itself is small with maybe a half dozen tables inside and two or three tables outside but it was just enough for us that evening. Our servers were excellent and helped explain aspects of the menu and helped us make decisions on what we wanted to eat. The only reason for one less star is we were finished eating and the checks arrived, we were never offered the opportunity to get dessert which was really weird. We were all planning to at least consider dessert but ended up at another local establishment for dessert. Otherwise it was a great meal and highly recommend you visiting this delicious Indian restaurant.

We all introduced ourselves, my boyfriend and I explained that we had recently moved to the neighborhood, and the owner proceeded to ask us what we like to drink so that he could craft us custom cocktails based on our preferences. We each loved our personalized cocktails - mine, a hot spiced cider with bourbon and a garnish of apple slices, and my boyfriend's, a creative take on a pina colada with rum, pineapple juice, and orange. We also ordered the house-made pretzels (the flavor was reminiscent of honey mustard), and we each had a beer. I appreciate that they offer the option to order half pints, since I'm rarely able to get through a whole one in a sitting. The bar is a great representation of why we've come to quickly adore our new neighborhood - the genuine community feel. We're looking forward to becoming regulars!
