You should come eat food here. And get a cocktail. Or a really good glass of wine. You won't be disappointed. The folks who run this really know what they are doing on all fronts. The vibe is like the sunroom at your coolest aunt's house in Boca. The people are lovely, the service is stellar, and the experience is a 10/10. Definitely get the tempura. I have no idea how they make it so good, but it is perfect. The dill daiquiri is also a delight, as is the burger. And basically everything else. Seriously. Come here. Become a regular. It will improve your life. Also - the kitchen is open until midnight Thursday to Saturday. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This place used to be so good but I think they are resting on their reputation. The last three times I've been the food has been unimpressive. Great cocktails and service but the quality of the recipes is not there anymore. They have unique offerings but I've tried a few different things lately that all felt very "meh." read more

This spot is so cute! I'm not sure what took me so long to come here. The inside is bright and colorful with fun decorations. The dining area is pretty small with a few tables, one booth, and a bar. They also have some outdoor seating as well. I would describe the menu as elevated bar food. Definitely some hearty options as well as a few salads. On this particular night, they had some specials which looked delicious as well. We got the caesar salad and the wings. The caesar had shaved brussels sprouts and cubed butternut squash making it a really unique take on a caesar. It was delicious - I loved the crunchiness of the brussels. The wings were slathered in a combination sauce of buttermilk, garlic and herbs, green buffalo sauce, and a peruvian yellow sauce. There was a lot of flavors going on! They were good but a little odd. I would've loved the choice to choose one of those sauces as opposed to having them all compete with each other. The service was friendly and fairly fast as well. I didn't have any cocktails but those looked yummy too. I'd definitely return! read more

Food: Hands down one of the best spots in Baltimore. The smashburger is tried & true and one of the few staples in an otherwise evolving seasonable menu. Same with the wings. Green beans are phenomenal, they must be cooked in the fat from the burgers and they are crispy and salty and addictive. We tried the burrata with sweet potato butter and homemade focaccia - so, so good. Great selection of wines and fancy, seasonal cocktails. Service: fast, friendly, attentive. Ambiance: both interior and exterior are so cute. read more

Honestly my flabber is gasted that I have neglected to write this review for so long. I swear I told you guys about how amazing Sally O's is. There is nothing on the menu or off the menu for that matter, that I've tried that wasn't absolutely delicious. When people ask where they should go or what's my current favorite restaurant, I say this place without hesitation. The space is cozy and I love the decor. The menu is inventive, unique, and most of all delectable. I've come for brunch and had a variation on chicken and waffles and short rib hash. I've come for drinks and apps and had really wonderful cocktails and the most flavorful chicken wings. I've come for dinner and dessert; who doesn't want a giant slice of cake even if it isn't their birthday. I've come for Restaurant Week where you get specials that aren't normally on the menu and had the most incredible porchetta I've had in . . . ever? They really haven't treated me wrong (knocks on wood) yet. Uniquely Baltimore read more

Decided to try Sally O's for lunch/dinner with a friend to catch up. The location is true to Baltimore... residential area in Highlandtown on a quiet corner. The staff were so friendly from the moment I walked in. The Bartender was super helpful and gave great suggestions to both my friend & I. Your New Favorite Wings , Caesar salad & Sally O's Old Fashion were all great items to try and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Sally O's is a hidden gem!!! We attended for restaurant week and birthday celebration. All of the menu items were enticing to try. I had the French onion ravioli that was not quite what I expected in taste but was good nonetheless. The wings....amazing. The hospitality from the staff was top tier. They were so welcoming and friendly. Keep in mind it's a small space. Reservations are best to ensure you can get a seat. I love the decor and the lights. I'm a sucker for a fun ambiance. The outdoor heated patio option got me as well!! I can't wait to return and possibly sit outside. read more

I hadn't been to Sally O's in a little while, but man am I happy I went back! They have added to their menu and there is now more to choose from which is great. My husband and I got a little seat inside and the atmosphere is still wonderful. Our server was really sweet and attentive and you could tell the staff is happy to be there. My husband and I split their wings, smoked duck sandwich ($22) and steak frites entree ($55) and WOW!!! Seriously the best food we've had out in a whiiiiile. They said they're adding the sandwich to the menu because it's so delicious. Both portions were wonderful for the price which I was relieved to see. Everything was so flavorful and we can't wait to go back. Also major plus is that they have NAs on their drink menu that don't suck and are actually good which I appreciated a lot since you don't see that everywhere. I had the NA spritz and it was delicious. Highly recommend stopping in if you haven't or are thinking of going back! read more

Sally O's is a small spot in Highlandtown. It was open during the pandemic shutdown by a Top Chef alum and made it through. It was definitely on my carryout rotation of restaurants to support . Now to the food and drink. Sally O's has their old fashioned on tap. I almost feel like I can stop there but I will go on. They have other innovative and tasty cocktails. My favorite dish is the CrabOnara. Yup that is carbonara (one my favorite dishes period) with crab. The pasta is perfect and the creaminess of the sauce along with an egg ranks with any Italian restaurant. The Smash Burger is a very popular dish. I know everyone has a smash burger now but Sally O's was the first restaurant I remember having one. The best way to describe it is an elevated In and Out Burger-double double monster style. The hash browns pictured seem like they would be simple but to think of putting caviar and sour cream on them is really a game changer. It's the perfect combination you didn't know could exist. The regular steak is a 12oz ribeye, dry aged for 28 days with frites and green beans. The steak for two is 32oz!! You are asked for temperature and I will die on the only temperature is Medium Rare hill. At the temperature, this steak melts in your mouth. There also a steak sauce to dip it in that is also delicious. Make a reservation and check out this neighborhood bar. read more

4.5 I visited Sally O's for the first time 8/27 for their bday cookout and school supply drive. If one paid to attend this event, food was included and if one brought an approved school supply item, they got one free drink ticket. I thought that was a good deal, so I arrived with 2 backpacks, and received 2 drink tickets. The inside of the bar is fine, unassuming. It's a narrow space with a bar running along one side, high top tables for 4 on the other, and enough space in between for a person to walk without bumping into anything. The food for the event was outside and there were a mix of sides and grilled pulled pork for the main protein. I was VERY impressed with the food. The potato salad was awesome, as was a cucumber salad, specialty bbq sauce, and just plain sliced heirloom tomatoes. And the pork was very tasty. The only drawback was my drink ticket didn't cover any drinks I was interested in drinking. Plus, Sally Os doesn't carry my drink of choice (High Noon), which was a bummer, but I did ok with another lightweight canned beverage. The servers and bartenders made me feel seen and taken care of, so an excellent experience overall. I don't go to this neighborhood often, but when I return I'll be sure to stop by. read more

Sally O's is the kind of place that makes you wish you had two stomachs. We started with the Mac & Cheese, which was pretty good--comforting, cheesy, and just the right amount of creamy to make you question why you ever considered giving up carbs. Then came the Carnitas-Quesa Tacos, which were so packed with flavor I half-expected them to come with a passport stamp. If you're a fan of wings, let me just say, "Your New Favorite Wings" aren't kidding. The mustard gave them that little extra zing that made me contemplate ordering a second round just for me. We also tried the Lunchbox Beets, which turned out to be a delightful surprise. I mean, who knew beets could be so... fun? They were like the cool kid on the vegetable playground--earthy, sweet, and just the right amount of tangy. And as for drinks, I ordered "What A Piña Colada Should Taste Like," and let me tell you, that name does not lie. It was like sipping sunshine in a glass, and I may or may not have considered ordering another just to keep the summer vibes going. Sally O's, you've officially raised the bar for my dining expectations! read more

This place was so good! I came here for a dinner date and we got seated at a high top. The inside is super cute with fun decor and had great vibes all around. It was pretty lively for a Monday night. The service was also top notch; everyone was so friendly and attentive. To start, we ordered drinks and the Tempura Asparagus appetizer. I didn't read too much in the description but wow, the tempura asparagus was amazing. It was so flavorful compared to your average tempura. There was a light sweetness added as well which was surprisingly good. We devoured the whole thing it was so good! I chose one of the specials that day for my dish which was the Pan Roasted Rockfish. It came with kale and fingerling potatoes. The whole dish tasted amazing, I loved it and ate everything. This was a great first experience and I definitely want to come back. Food was amazing and the staff were so nice. A really cute place for dates or just to come with friends. Even the bathroom I went to was so cute!! read more

Everyone seems to love Sally O's so it's no surprise that I loved it too, I've been there for happy hour three times now and each time I was more than satisfied with the food (and one time we got 2 bottles of orange wine(??) and let me tell you, as a lover of sour beer, it was truly unique and amazing!) I can't explain to you each dish I've had but they have all been amazing, you can really tell that the chef or whoever decides the menu tries to come up with fresh takes. The space is limited so it can sometimes be hard to get a spot, but I would say Sally O's is one of the top places to go in Baltimore for food and drinks, so definitely try to make it if you can! read more

I do not remember Jesse Sandin on Top Chef but when I heard a top chef alum had taken over a beloved neighborhood bar, we had to try it. I was expecting a dark, older looking bar, but Sally O's is bright and cheery, with funky decor. The seating in some areas is tight. We were placed at a table for two right on the way to the bathroom, almost on top of another table, and it as pretty squishy. The food is a combination of upscale bar food and simply innovate creations. As a starter we shared the soup of the day and the Carnitas Tacos - king of greasy, but good. For mains we shared a duck and cauliflower dish that was super tasty and a Smashburger - excellent! Definitely make a reservation. I know we will when we return to Baltimore! read more
