I stopped in on a rainy night to grab some dinner. I decided to sit in the dining room as the bar was pretty full and quite noisy. The man who waited on me was super friendly and checked in often to see how I was doing. Based on his recommendation, I decided to try one of their cheesesteaks, with sautéed mushrooms and onions, accompanied by sweet potato fries. The sandwich was piping hot when it was served. I'm not sure if I burned my tastebuds on the first few bites, but I found the sandwich to have very little taste. The nice man came back and pointed out the all of hot sauces, so I opted for a chipotle flavored one, which helped boost the flavor of the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were really tasty, but some were a little soggy. This place is definitely a local favorite in the Canton area and I can see why, with such friendly and attentive service. read more

This place is a true hole in the wall! I'm so glad I stumbled across this place. The food was so tasty, beyond amazing! The prices for the entrees are really good. I'll definitely be back here--I cannot believe I didn't get here sooner. The service was quick and friendly. I'm not sure of his name who served us, but he was super nice and funny!! read more

Hidden gem great local spot! Portions are huge and prices are great. Try the cheesesteaks

Delicious food with big portions and reasonable prices. We sat at the bar and Matt the bartender took good care of us! Comfortable vibe and can't wait to visit again for Trivia Night! read more

It was my first time coming here and I already know I'll be a regular! It's a classic cool dive bar with amazing food and incredibly friendly staff. Everything we had last night was so amazing. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes, they are a huge portion and the most unique twist on crab + fried green tomatoes I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. I've heard Silk's has some legendary cheesesteaks, and after last night, I know why! The classic Silk's cheesesteak was stuffed, piping hot, with plenty of cheese, pepper, and onion. I split with my fiancée and I'm coming back just so I can have a cheesesteak all to myself. We also shared the mushroom Swiss burger, which was a classic burger that was really tasty, but nothing to write home about. The fries, however, are seriously some of the best fries I've had in Baltimore. They're a fun curly shape, they're crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and they give you a huge portion. read more

4 of us met up on a Saturday around 5pm for dinner and WOW. The bartender doubles as the waiter, so that service was a tad slow, but he did a good job checking in on us. He was happy to help us watch the football game we wanted. The menu is straight forward and accessed via QR code. In total at the table, we ordered the Memphis Mac n Cheese, Shrimp and Grits, and 2 burgers. Everyone devoured their entire meals - talk about delicious. I had the mac n cheese and it was the perfect amount of creamy. There was a good amount of the BBQ pork which was nice. The shrimp and grits were delish too with the sausage mixed in. I don't normally like grits but the sauce and cheese made it delectable. They have a good amount of beers on tap and a full bar. I would happily come here again. Note that this is in a typical corner store type place for the city, so parking is a premium, but we had no issues parking nearly in front of the restaurant at the hour. read more

First visit. Definitely a cool dive bar location. Decided to have lunch with a friend and husband on a rainy Sunday. Walked right into the bar then made our way to the behind the bar room. Not many people, which was nice. Husband ordered Cream of Crab soup and a Caesar Salad. He said they were both above standard bar food. Cream of Crab could have been a little thicker but good! I ordered a chicken cheesesteak with the fixin's on top. Delicious but if I'm being picky... more cheese! Food was delicious. Bartender was very kind for having to work lunch/brunch on a rainy Sunday. Thank you for a positive first experience. When the opportunity arises, we plan to return. read more

First time ordering from Silks. We ordered the cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak. Both were seasoned well and delicious. However, they need to work on customer service. I arrived 45 minutes after I ordered based on the time estimate. My bf went in to pickup our order and no one was at the bar/counter. He waited for a few minutes and came to the car to call. I called and " the guy in the kitchen" was rude. I gave him my name and told him that I was there to pickup my order. He responded, well can you come in. I said, my bf is already in their waiting. He said, well I'm In the kitchen trying to prepare food. He came out and dropped our bag on the counter and walked away! Silks staffing issues isn't the customers problem. Ijs.... They need to get the staff in order. read more

They offer a really tasty, above average cheesesteak! I got mine delivered through one of the delivery apps and it was still warm on arrival. It was full of tasty steak with wiz and onions as I requested all on a soft roll. Cheesesteaks can be hit or miss but it's a hit at Silk's. The fries I got with it were good too. read more

I am disappointed to report that after multiple visits over the last year, silks seems to be going a bit downhill. The bartender is often so hungover that it negatively affects the service, or the place is too crowded with only one bartender, or the food is gross. The fries are not good anymore. No seasoning and weren't fresh. I got a Cesar salad so drenched in dressing that I couldn't eat it. It's just an alright corner bar now. I prefer Hudson stackhouse or myth and moonshine, both nearby. read more

Went to Silks on a busy NCAA tourney weekend and had a great experience. Very casual sports pub - was greeted by the very friendly bartender who showed us to the dining area and changed the TV stations to show the basketball games while taking care of our drink orders - nice draft selection and beer came in a plastic cup which fit the fun/casual theme. Picked a Cajun type pasta dish and got the Mac and cheese on the side since it seemed to be a featured item. The server warned me that I was getting an impressively large amount of food and he was correct as the pasta could have served two easily. It was well prepared, with just enough sauce and lots of tender scallops and well seasoned blackened chicken pieces. The Mac and cheese was worth the extra calories- very cheesy with solid cheese flavor, as opposed to the sometimes watery/flavorless versions elsewhere. My son ordered the cheesesteak and fries and he was very happy with both. The fries were noteworthy as they were cut in a large peeled fashion, resulting in a substantial and crispy bite each time. I recommend Silks for a fun meal with lots of sports on TV! read more

Best cheesesteak in the canton area and one of the best in bmore area imo . sidewinder fries are very good .

Update: we just went to brunch at silks for the first time and it blew my mind! Fave chicken and waffles in the city now. Everything was amazing, breakfast cheesesteak, banana caramel chocolate pancakes!? Come on. Wow. Bartender/server was also so attentive and friendly. Can't wait to come back ASAP. Silks is our new go to happy hour spot! We were just there today and the bartender was so friendly and attentive. We have had the wings before but had to order them again. each time I am reminded how awesome they are, large, crispy and still juicy. Love that honey old bay! We saw someone else at the bar with the buffalo chicken tenders and had to o those too, so big and delicious! Silks is the only bar I know that has sidewinder fries and they are a Game Changer. Sweet potato fries are really good too, thicker than most other places. The pork mac & cheese should not be missed and the cheesesteak with wiz is so bomb! (Many places don't have the wiz and they always disappoint) Can't beat $1 domestics at happy Hour. We will be back very soon! read more

Reed is an absolute gem and one amazing bartender! 10/10 recommend and will continue to come back, especially when he is working!

I'd say that this is more like 3.5 stars. Came here for an early dinner because I landed on Silks through Spotluck (the new app that helps you find restaurants in the area). I'm glad that we ended up coming here! We were able to snag a seat at the bar. They serve the full menu at the bar. My boyfriend and i split an order of chicken fajitas and the paella. They didn't lie when they said that the fajitas came with a generous portion of bell peppers and onions. For my boyfriend, who is a dietician, this is great. The chicken could have used a bit more seasoning and smokiness, but overall, the portion was generous and it was decent. The only down side was that it came with a side of rice, and we really weren't a fan of the rice...It was kind of bland. It would have been nice if they let us choose a side. We would not have opted for the rice. The paella didn't really taste like a traditional/real paella, but whatever it was, it was actually pretty good! They were very generous with the seafood (especially considering the price!) -- there were a few mussels, a decent amount of shrimp, and small pieces of scallops. It was a bit heavy on the tomato sauce for a paella, but that doesn't matter when it's fully of buttery goodness! You could taste the butter with each spoonful. We were early enough for happy hour, so we got each got Pumpking (extra $2 off craft drafts). Love that beer on draft! After that, we each ordered an Old Fashioned. Wow, they make strong drinks here! It's a nice spot for a low-key night! Our bartender, Tim, was affable and efficient with his service. He was quick to ask us if we needed another drink. read more

Loved the burgers! It helps that they were on special for only 6 bucks... I'll be honest, it's not clear to me if that's a daily special or not but I would not have been upset to pay the full price (~12) for either burger we had. And the sidewinder fries were great! Very well seasoned. The coleslaw was honestly the only weak point... I wouldn't pay the extra money for it again... I wouldn't even choose it over chips for free. We will definitely be back for more. read more

I was in Baltimore for a quick weekend trip and stopped by Silks for a Clemson watch party. I walked in with my friend and we were confused since there are only a few bar seats when you walk in. We found ourselves upstairs for the watch party, which was a nice hidden spot. The wait staff were all fantastic and prompt with all of the food/drink orders. We shared some BBQ tator tots and they were topped with a giant serving of slow smoked BBQ and crispy bacon. The beer was fairly inexpensive (5 Bud Light bucket for $13). If I lived in Baltimore, I would definitely be a regular at Silks. My friend, who was from Baltimore was thrown off by the Steelers flags in the upstairs area, which I am learning is not very well received in the Charm City. read more

Best honey old bay wings in Baltimore. Service is awesome - Pops is the best. Drinks are always quick and the people there are always fun. Over time I've been avoiding the square more and more and this has become my go-to spot. Love Silks! read more

I've been a semi-regular at Silks for quite some time. I really like a few of their Bartenders and they have solid beers and a nice looking interior. I hadn't really tried their food prior to today, and I really couldn't have been more disappointed. I came in and ordered the Crab mac and cheese with a friend, a dish that costs $11.99. What came out of the kitchen was a heaping pile of Kraft with the occasional hint of crab meat. If this was my bar, I would sincerely be embarrassed. I was pretty hungry and ate less than half and my friend maybe took 3 bites. The bartender stopped by asked if we wanted to go boxes and we told him no. At that point, you would think an alarm bell would go off and register "oh did you not like you're food because you've hardly touched it," but no such luck. It's a solid bar for beers, but I would avoid their food. read more

We stopped by Silks for an impromptu dinner. They had a very nice draft selection, and that was about all that we liked. To start, we split the seafood platter, which turned out to be entirely fried. There wasn't any warning of that on the menu, so I was shocked and not for the better. We ate it regardless, and boy that was a mistake. My boyfriend and I were both keeling over in pain later that night. After the platter, we split a cheesesteak, which was pretty bland. Nothing special. I might come back here for a quick drink. Maybe. read more

Consistently subpar. I come here every Tuesday for trivia, and the only redeeming quality is buckets of bottled beer. The food is just bad. Like, frozen crap from Costco. I'm pretty sure my flatbread pizza was a microwaved pizza. The upstairs server works his tail off. The downstairs bartender is annoyed by the thought of customers. read more

The only good thing about this place is the beer list and the location. It is close enough to the Square that you can walk over and the beer list includes a lot of great pours that you cannot find elsewhere near or around the Square. However, the food was very disappointing. I ordered a California Burger that tasted as if it was previously frozen, was overlooked (I wanted medium-rare and it was more like well-done), and it was lacking in items like avavado. The only reason why I stayed was because I used the Spotluck app to get 20% off with a spin of the wheel. I will not be coming back here for anything except drinks and to try the cheesesteak everyone seems to rave about. read more

I mean. $1 beers every day 4-7. What the heck more could you ask for ?? Mozz sticks are always hot fire delicious, grilled chicken Caesar wrap is DA BOMB. along with DA BOMB loaded tots or sidewinder fries. Ermmergerd. This place and atmosphere are seriously the greatest, and as a quaint Canton corner bar, it's easy to miss, but a must visit. read more

Great beer joint. Absolutely average on the grub. Silks is a very nice local bar. It has a welcoming atmosphere, a friendly staff, and a great overall vibe. There's a nice beer selection on tap. And my own personal favorite from time to time, prosecco on tap. Yes, you read that right, bubbly on tap. But the food is just serviceable. It's not bad. But it's nothing to write home about either. Although Silks looks small from the window, they have a back room and an upstairs with its own bar so there's plenty of room for everybody. A nicer place you can't ask for. And if you haven't eaten before you arrive, or you get the munchies while you're there, you'll be decently fed. Just don't plan on making a night out of eating there. read more

Placed an order today and included basic instructions. No Cheese and please add ketchup, mustard, salad dressing on the side. Of course did not listen. And no utensils either. Heard good reviews about the food and gave it a chance. Not a happy customer. Food might of been good if the basic instructions were followed. But I'm not interested in trying a 2nd time. Especially being that I have to spend time find a place that will get it right the 1st time. read more

We had the crab cakes (as I'm a true Baltimorean) and they were decent. But the salmon cakes were fantastic! Asparagus cooked perfect and mashed potatoes were real and tasty. The best part was the price- great value. 11.99 for two big fresh salmon cakes, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus - great value. My wife and I will definitely go back. I hope they can stand the competition. Try them, save some money and have a decent meal. read more

Went to Silks tonight for my fiance's birthday. We were hoping to have a fun night of trivia, drinks and food with a group of 6 of us. We were unfortunately greeted very rudely by the bartender who said we wouldn't be able to find seating upstairs and when I politely asked if I could check, he told me I was calling him a liar and continued to be arrogant. We talked to the trivia host explaining it was a birthday and we were running late due to a diabetic incident and we were offered a table with another team who generously made room with us. We even bought them a round of drinks to show our appreciation. Anything's the bartender from downstairs sees us and comes up in a manner like he was trying to show dominance over the situation or trying to instigate an argument/fight. Basically, insinuating that we stole the table from the "nice regulars" and we should have just turned. He said other things making us all feel uncomfortable, unwelcomed. It even got to the point where we asked if he'd like us to leave, and he just responded, "doesn't matter now". He was really slow with our service the rest of the night, didn't make eye contact and wouldn't ask if we needed anything else unless we flagged him down. This isn't our first bad experience with the bartender either, just the first time he's spoken so aggressively towards us. Normally, he just is really slow because he's off in the corner talking to his friends. I will say that the food is really good and that's why we kept coming back despite his behavior, but tonight might have been the last straw. All I wanted to do was give my fiance a great night out with his family for his birthday. read more

Went here last night and am very happy that we did. The restaurant/bar has been completely renovated and they did a great job with it. The actual bar itself is over 100 years old and runs the entire length of the restaurant and is the most beautiful feature of the space. Anyway, we both ordered hamburgers. I had the juicy Lucy which has cheese inside the burger. The hamburger was hot and juicy and absolutely delicious. The French fries that accompanied it were in itself very creative. Potatoes cut with some type of spiral slice. They almost look like thick potato chips, but are very seasoned and very delicious. The orange crushes were excellent. And the wine was poured with a very generous hand. We've been everywhere in Bmore and will definitely return to Silk's. Anxious to come back for the brunch. Try it!! You won't be sorry!! read more

Great neighborhood bar! They have Natty Lite on tap...what more could you ask for!?!?! The cheesesteak is one of the best in town. The bartenders are attentive and friendly. Seems like there is always good crowd in there. Look forward to going back in the future! read more

I was reluctant to review Silks at all, let alone accurately, for purely selfish reasons. If you live in the neighborhood and are over the age of 27, you know that a quiet spot with delicious food, strong drinks and good service is a bit of a unicorn. Silks has an affordable and tasty menu, daily cocktail specials, friendly staff- and most importantly- there is normally plenty of space for you and your posse even on a Friday or Saturday evening. I recommend their burgers and I have heard rave reviews of their cheese steaks. Added bonus - dog friendly outdoor seating. But seriously, you shouldn't go there. You should go somewhere else. read more
