Sally O's screams T R E N D Y! Everything in the restaurant is highly instagrammable. The cocktails were playful spins on classics and packed a punch. I went a little while ago and shared pork rinds and a tofu dish for appetizers. They were not as memorable as the entrees--the carnitas tacos were really flavorful albeit a lil greasy! I'm excited to head back and try newer items on the menu. A bonus is that Sally O's is open until 1am most nights, the perfect spot for drinks or a later bite to eat. read more

It's a cool place with interesting food. But I am just not that impressed. There is nothing there that makes me want to go back. They do not have anything on the menu that makes me think oh Sally O's has really good insert whatever food. I've been three times. It's close by. I gave three stars bc it's mid. Not terrible not great. read more

Food was lovely, service was great! The carnitas tacos were the standout winner. Filled with the juiciest carnitas, stuffed with cheese and pressed like a quesadilla. Definitely oily, definitely delicious. And I didn't even mention the sauces yet! Their queso and hot sauce paired deliciously well. As if it wasn't already good enough, it's listed as an appetizer, but for just $12, you've got yourself a full fledged meal. Sally O's, if you're out there, if you're listening, please never remove this from your menu!!! We also ordered the burrata app, which we also enjoyed. I love burrata anything, so I was even happier to find that their take on it was unique and worked well. The sweet potato butter was a smooth purée, the onion jam wasn't too sweet or overpowering, and the candied pecans added beautiful texture. This was all served with their house made focaccia, which was the only part of our meal we weren't thrilled about - it seemed unnecessarily buttered/oiled up and needed to be toasted longer for that nice crispy texture to pair with the soft burrata, purée and jam. We still fully intend to order it again, regardless! The Highlandtown smash burger was big in size and flavor. As was the Sally Mac. Everything here is worth your money and more! Can't wait to dine in and see how much better it is then! read more

I got Sally Os takeout with a couple friends last week. I wasn't there to pick it up but it stayed pretty warm during the 15 min drive. My friends had been there before and with all the 5 star ratings, I was pretty disappointed with the result. I ordered the chicken sandwich w/ fries ($16-which is overpriced IMO). The chicken had a lot of fat on it and some of the pieces were pretty suspect and by that I mean it was borderline pink. I didn't eat half of it. I also wasn't a fan of the sauce but that's my preference.The fries were delicious though so I pretty much filled up on those. My friends enjoyed their meals so 3 stars for that. read more

The food and service is always impeccable! Every time I visit I am delighted by new additions to the menu to try. Drinks are always fun and creative. The general decor with everything else just makes for a great vibe. Awesome experience overall and my favorite go-to spot. read more

This place is always awesome! The food is amazing and the drinks are great! The service is always friendly and accommodating! I keep trying to get pictures but the food disappears as fast as it comes! read more

I love the place, it has been a staple for me and my family for a while. However they aren't consistent with their service, attitudes change based on what ever issues are going on behind the scenes. Food is great. Will still go read more

I had such a lovely meal at Sally O's's last night. I ate outside, both because I am still being quite cautious about Covid and because I had a small puppy with me. Temperatures were in the low 50s and it was feeling kind of cold, so I was a little worried about what kind of outdoor seating set up I would be walking into. I was so impressed! Sally O's has set up a wonderful outdoor heating system involving a heating ventilation system on one side and propane fueled heaters on the other side. Tables were divided by tall woven wood screens and the ambience was spectacular. It felt like you were dining in your own private room. From what I could see if the interior, it looked adorably decorated inside. I had the duck breast and my dining companion had the cavatelli. We shared the burrata appetizer and I had a slice of funfetti birthday cake for dessert. My deck was spectacular, the flavors were beautiful, the duck was perfectly cooked, and the spring vegetables were bright and crisp. My friend said she enjoyed her dish as well. The burrata was paired with a delightful combination of spring flavors. I didn't enjoy the birthday cake; it was dry and not especially flavorful. Service was also excellent. We made a reservation for outdoor seating and received a very close to our reservation time. Our waiter was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. Wait staff all wore facemasks correctly. Menus are online for covid safety. Highly recommend checking out Sally O's for your next special meal! And aren't all meals special these days? read more

Love the vibe of Sally O's so much-have gotten takeout a few times during the pandemic but was looking forward to finally eating in and taking in the space. It's sooo beautiful! If you'd never been to laughing pint, you probably can't appreciate all the special touches, but I'm amazed. The food, as was the case with takeout, was also delicious. The only bummer was our service was SUPER slow, I mean super, super slow. Despite multiple times trying to make eye contact with servers at various points throughout our meal and especially once we were waiting for the check to be picked up (15+minutes), we waited to no avail. That was kind of a bummer, especially towards the end of our meal when we'd been there 2.5 hours, and it wasn't very busy, but it's possible (although it didn't seem that way) that they were short staffed. It won't stop me from going back as it's so darned cute, the staff was lovely and service was fine, aside from the slowness. Definitely share the poutine and thank me later!! read more

The service wasn't great at all . Our waiter Chris went ghost most of our time there. The bartender served us, messed up the check, and then acted disgruntled when he was asked to correct it . read more

Actually, this is not a review of the food as I have yet to try it. Instead, I would like to commend the owner of Sally O's for his excellent customer service. I tried to make a reservation via Open Table (linked on Sally O's website) and ran into a snag. This prompted me to send the restaurant a message to try to rectify the problem. In fact, my message was a bit snarky and possibly not deserving of a response, but the restaurant's owner responded with lightening speed and, rather than returning my snark, he wrote a kind message and explained why I hit a bump when trying to reserve. In these trying times, this is the kind of businessperson we should do our best to support. Not to overlook the fact that the restaurant's reviewers here on Yelp are virtually unanimous in their praise for the quality of the food. read more

This place is amazing!!! COVID procedures are tight. You're only dining outdoor, with cover and heaters. Well distanced table too. On to the main story...the food!! It is unfair how good this food is. I've now dined twice and both times was blown away. We had the best burrata, the amazing crab-anara and the best rabbit of my life ( and I was born in Germany they know rabbit). This is hands down the most playful,fun, best food in this city. The sommelier ( wine guy) is amazing! He has curated the most interesting, rare wines ever at a price point that is so good. Moroccan wine, Macedonia wine, fermented beer like wine, he has a recommendation for you! Seriously, best dining experience I've had in years! read more

Tonight was our second time coming to Sally O's, and as was expected, it was wonderful. The menu is so much more than deliciously done- each item is innovative and exciting. These are flavor combinations I've never had before, and they are impeccable. The service and atmosphere is equally amazing, all while maintaining the safest environment possible in the midst of a pandemic. Sally O's has quickly become my new favorite Baltimore restaurant and I can't wait to return. Ps- our favorite dishes so far have been the Wings and the Frickled Cauliflower. BOTH INCREDIBLE! The Beet cocktail is also amazing. Enjoy! read more

We love to walk over for a combination of starters. The lunchbox beets are a favorite small bite to add on. Always delicious.

We had the most epic experience. 5 stars for every single aspect. From the service and ambiance to the old fashions on draft. Birthday shots and AMAZING food. I can't believe it's taken me so long to get here. We will be back and can't wait to bring different friends each time to experience this gem. read more

I went here with my boyfriend and a friend last week and we had an awesome time! Our server was very attentive and gave great suggestions on both food as well as drinks. We had the pork cracklins, the poutine, my boyfriend and I shared the crispy skin rockfish and our friend got the chicken sandwich. We enjoyed coming here! I think the menu really has something for everyone and the atmosphere is cute and inviting. Just a note: the restaurant can get a bit loud if you're sensitive to noise. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Sally O's has such a cute vibe even with outdoor seating on the sidewalk! The staff was all very friendly and on top of things, which is no small feat during the first few weeks of a restaurant. I had the daisy cutter to drink which was refreshing and a different flavor. I ordered the crab carbonara which was AMAZING. It was a good sized entree with lots of crab and bacon and was a well done carbonara. Overall a great experience, looking forward to trying more on the menu as it all looked good and trying cocktails when they get their liquor license soon. They did a great job with sanitization and were wiping down tables with a sanitizing spray between customers. read more

This was my first visit. We made reservations in advance. They had tables seated outside along the restaurant. There was a heating unit near our table which was great. Overall I was very impressed with the service and the taste and quality of the food. The staff was courtesy. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food menu and he was also very knowledgeable about the wines. I ordered the impossible burger and it was delicious. I also ordered a glass of Riesling and that was also very tasty. The friend who accompanied me ordered the beets appetizer, the seafood risotto, some type of white wine, and a churros made dessert that included ice cream. She said that everything she ordered was delicious. This restaurant is definitely worth checking out. read more

I was excited to try this place, made a reservation and didn't realize I made two. Showed up and was lectured by the hostess about how I should never have done that and if it ever happens again they won't accommodate like way over the top felt like a lecture from a military boot camp. So that was awkward from the start and then the food was overpriced. This place is in highland town serving D.C. prices? (12$ getaway car cocktail was average).. My chicken sandwich was really good, my friend said the french onion dish was something to forget. Was really excited to try this place, but the weird greeting from the hostess was so off putting I won't go back. read more

The food and service is top fucking tier. We had a ladies night we was there at 6 and didn't leave till they was closing. P.S the truffle fries was the best fries I've ever had get them. Trust me thank me later. read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in Baltimore. Dinner never disappoints, cocktails are ALWAYS fantastic, staff is always fun (and feel kind of like family at this point--does that mean we come here too much?) read more

Sally O's is a wonderful addition to Highlandtown and promising towards making the area more welcoming to visitors. Our party of 3 dined outside and there were heaters to keep us warm. The interior is well appointed and overall a pleasant atmosphere for a night out. We ordered the honey nut squash filled with impossible chorizo, which deceptively tasted just like meat. The squash was a little tough but tasty. For mains we ordered the burger and crab carbonara, the latter being very unique and not for the faint of heart- hearty and plenty of crab! The burger was also perfectly cooked and juicy. We finished our evening with a deep fried cornbread topped with dulce de leche cream and ice cream! The texture was delightful and made me nostalgic for the state fair. Overall, Sally O's did not disappoint and would love to try more of their creative menu options. read more

My neighborhood go to for food specials and drinks! If you're looking for good service and a date night ambiance, this is the place to go!

The food was amazing and the setting quaint and retro. We had the special and it was so delicious and a good size portion. The drinks were also very tasty! Definitely would recommend to others! read more

Delicious. Had the tacos as an appetizer and they were amazing. Smash burger was also fantastic, and the chicken sandwich was huge. Cocktails were also delicious. Only complaint is that when another guest ordered an Irish coffee, it was served lukewarm and with no whipped cream. When asked for a coffee too off to warm it up, the response was that they don't offer drip coffee so we could have another shot of espresso. Which was an additional $5, and still no whipped cream. read more

Delicious food and love the atmosphere. Went during restaurant week and it was very packed.

Love the decor/ambience here. Food is stellar and the cocktail options are on point. Highly recommend.

Came here for the first time for dinner at a friends recommendation. I ordered the lunchbox beets and carnitas tacos. Everything was very well done- the beets came with a chèvre whip that I could eat with everything, and the carnitas was delicious (and a large portion!). The only issue was our food took veryyy long to come out- apparently the kitchen was backed up, so we waited about an hour for food and service was a bit slow (we waited another 30 minutes to get out check). I'm sure they were busy so I would definitely come back despite this to try their other dishes read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. What a treat! I was in town for a conference and a local friend made reservations for us at Sally O's. This little place rocks. The location, the decor inside, the feel, the menu, the service are all 10s! We had a cute table outside and all ordered the smashburger and fries. All of us loved our means and our drinks. It was the perfect place to catch up with old friends and to just enjoy the night. Great place for birthdays, first dates, friend dates....you get the point. read more

Loved their appetizers and that they rotate their apps seasonally, not quite as impressed with the main entrée options. All in all, though, great atmosphere, wonderful alcohol selection, and very friendly servers! Will be coming back for happy hour :) read more

We came here on a whim for happy hour and weren't disappointed. The staff were a blast - great conversation and great recommendations. We love trying unique wines and they have a great list - we had one from Old Westminster which is a vineyard in Maryland. We didn't have any of the food this time but look forward to it the next time we come. A true neighborhood gem. read more

The best in Highlandtown! Amazing food and service. Get reservations well in advance or go late and sit at the bar.

I had the crabonara and delicata squash and it was amazing! Great service and atmosphere! My new favorite Baltimore restaurant! Highly recommend! read more

Awesome place! Food was great.....the service even better! Got the Smashburger and the Mezcal Mixie. Wish I could Sally O's 6/5 stars. :)

We had a fabulous meal here and can not wait to return to try all of the menu. Tonight we had the wings which were cooked to perfection and the flavor was like a little party of flavor in your mouth. The burger was magnificent and the fried chicken sandwich equally awesome. Everything about the food and service was on point. We also had a hard time not staring at what other tables around us was ordering. read more

This is my favorite local spot in this part of Charm City. You have to try the smash burger it's hands down the best in town, and the truffle fries are beyond!!!!!! The beat salad was good and they also have this incredible taco that is pretty life changing. I'm pretty confident that you'll have an awesome meal here regardless of what you get. It's not a big menu, but it's solid! read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant so far in Baltimore. I wish they had a bigger space because it's super annoying to have folks constantly bumping into your chair as they squeeeeze past, but the decor is charming and the wait staff exemplifies good service. The food. OMG. The food is BANANAS. ABSOLUTELY BANANAS. It's all so delicious that it makes me pause after the first bite. Sometimes my first bite even makes me laugh - yes. That good. Dealing with the squished space is worth it, because it's just perfectly perfect otherwise read more

The night started with great parking and ended with --Holy S#!+ this was amazing!! We considered ourselves foodies but somehow never tried this place?! How in the heck did that happen?! It was literally a spur of the moment birthday dinner and it turned us into old ppl bc after such AMAZING SERVICE AND SPECTACULAR FOOD we were wanting to go out but we were in a food coma-- mind you we were celebrating a 33rd birthday! Service: Natalie (last day Capricorn) and Patrick (first day Aquarius) and with Jesse ensuring that everything was great along the way! Natalie have such amazing recommendations--- ribeye, sweet potato gnocchi, the wings!!!, mac and cheese...can't wait to eat the leftovers! We didn't catch the hostess name but she was a hoot! Can't wait for Monday's work question: how was your weekend? Just to tell them about this place! Great f'n job Sally-Os read more

Maybe one day I'll be able to write a review of something else other than their burger but unless they take it off the menu, I don't see that happening anytime soon ha. I've been here 3 times since they opened, the first being in their very early days and I was incredibly impressed by how they opened a restaurant during Covid and did it so well/adapted. Now this burger... oh my. I am definitely a fan of the smash burger style over any other type but I am also kind of picky in how it's prepared. Sally O's gets it right on every count and this quickly became my favorite (or tied for favorite since I am a bit of a Shake Shack loyalist) burger in Baltimore. Get here soon! Especially now while you can still take advantage of their beautiful outdoor seating area. read more
