We came here on a Sunday morning before a Ravens game. I was surprised at how empty it was when we arrived around 8:15AM. The place is small. By the time we finished eating, it was indeed full. Since it's small, they only had only waitress taking care of the entire dining room with no issues. My son ordered their Pecan & Caramel French toast and my wife ordered their biscuits & gravy. Being in Baltimore I went with their Chesapeake Benedict. These came with crab cakes and overall a very delicious dish. This was my first time having seafood like this for breakfast and would do it again in a heartbeat. Everything was priced fairly and can definitely see myself returning bere for breakfast next time I'm in Baltimore. read more

Sip & Bite is a classic Baltimore gem that lives up to the hype! Conveniently located right off Boston Street, it's easy to find with plenty of street parking nearby. We walked in on a slightly rainy Saturday and were seated right away--no reservation needed, which is always a plus. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart--so warm and attentive, but unfortunately I can't remember her name. I went with the French toast breakfast with cheddar eggs and bacon, and everything was cooked to perfection--comfort food at its finest. My BF ordered the strawberry pancakes, bacon, and grits. The pancakes were fluffy and topped with whipped cream that tasted wonderfully homemade. The grits were a bit too loose for my taste (I'm a thick-grits girl), but they were creamy and would definitely appeal to anyone who prefers a smoother texture. What I love most is how centrally located Sip & Bite is. After breakfast, you can stroll to Canton Square for a drink or do what we did and head to Canton Waterfront Park to relax by the water. It's an easy stop to build a whole chill day around. The menu is super expansive, and we noticed they've even been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives--and honestly, it tracks. The food is satisfying, the atmosphere is no-frills but welcoming, and the quality speaks for itself. A definite go-to for a hearty breakfast in the city. Breakfast was definitely 5/5 but because of the divey-diner ambiance I'm gonna say 4/5 overall. read more

Service is atrocious. I had to get up and ask for things from the bar repeatedly. They had only one elderly waitress who did not bring me silverware or napkins. There were no napkins or silverware on the table. I did not appreciate repeatedly being called "ma'am", that term makes my skin crawl. You will get misgendered here as they think they're still in the 1940s. Basic diner food, nothing spectacular despite the prices, which are much more expensive than they should be. Overall, my experience left me feeling disappointed and dismayed. This place used to be one of my favorite spots, but that was a long time ago. read more

The cutest neighbor dinner w/ great service and good eats. I've only ever been here breakfast , and the experience did not disappoint . The French toast was by far my favorite . It was made with love ! The eggs were okay along with the turkey sausage and bacon . I definitely would recommend . The place is small but lively with plenty of street parking available . I plan to comeback and try the Guy Fieri's crab cake on the next visit. read more

Truly the most delicious breakfast food in Baltimore. I went after working all night, and it was so good. I don't know how they got the eggs so cheesy. Or the pancakes so fluffy. Great diner vibe. read more

Arrived in Baltimore city for a family wedding weekend looking for a nice place to grab lunch near our Airbnb. Sip & Bite worked just perfect for us. Fareedah provided us with attentive service and a smile! The chef/cook behind the counter wanted to make sure my sister liked her burger or he was willing to cook her a new one. I had a fish sandwich which hit the spot... it included grilled onions, which were yummy. The onion rings were very light and delicious bite to bite! The place is really small, but if you get a table, you'll get good hot food at a reasonable price. read more

I'm in love!!! I'm back in Baltimore and had to make a pit stop to try Guy's Favorite Crab-cake at Sip & Bite. I enjoyed every bite so much I could've licked the plate. The Chesapeake Benedict was a thing of beauty. I had a hard time cutting into it because it was plated so beautifully. 2 poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce that sat on two crab cakes on an English muffin! Best crab cake I've ever had. Guy Fieri was on the money with this review and I thank him for the recommendation! The waitress was friendly and the food came out fast! I love the old school feel of the diner. The place was clean and all the plates that came out looked delicious. I'll be back! read more

Food was amazing. I've been 3 times in the last month. I have not had any complaints with any of my meals. I've tried the pancakes, waffles and French toast, can't tell you what's the best. Lemonade is good, service is good. Never a long wait. The building just looks like a simple diner, when you come in if there is an empty seat you just take it. Will be going back at least once a month if I can read more

Grew up in B-town. I used to go to Sip & Bite after bar hopping in about 1968+. I'd always get the same thing. When visiting Baltimore recently, I had to go there for a crab cake. We're old and slow now, and got there just after the chef cleaned the stuff up and was on his way out. This was my last day/last chance, so whined and begged a bit and he made me a crab cake! He used a special tool for cooking them, and it had been cleaned up for the night, but he dirtied it again for me! It was like I died and went to heaven! I wanted to give him a nice tip, but he'd quietly vanished after giving me the crab cake; they said he had to catch his bus. Don't know that I'll ever make it back to my hometown (3,000 mi. away now), but if I do, I'll make an earlier bee-line to Sip & Bite! (They've been there since 1948.) read more

Wow wow WOW is all I can say about Sip and Bite. Literally every time I come here, it's always so good, so full of flavor, and literally made with love. This will always be my favorite diner to go to. I've never had a single issue with this establishment. My service is always good, and it's so warming to get the same waitress every time. I forget her name at this moment, but I remember she has locs. She's so lovely and personable, I just know I'll be taken care of whenever I come. The establishment is admittedly a little on the smaller side, but it just adds to the charm in my opinion. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our food, especially the Stuffed French Toast. Oh good Lord it was not even overly sweet, everything like popped in my mouth, it was indescribably good in my opinion. Down to even the whipped cream. I can also understand why Guy Fiery loves and stands by the Crab Cakes here. The Cheseapeake Benedict was oh so amazing, flavorful, cooked to perfection. Some of the best crab cakes I've ever had. The cheese grits were also 10/10 most delicious and creamy. I've had Lavender lemonade before, and this one here was also very tasty. I can't wait to come back to try more! read more

I've had this place on my list of places to try for some time now and today gave me the chance to finally make it happen. I placed my order through Yelp and headed over. When I walked in, I really liked the old school vibe of the place. Feels like you went back in time. I was greeted by a nice guy who immediately asked if I was picking up an order. He grabbed the bag for me and I was on my way. I ordered the Cinna-Bomb Pancakes and The Mediterranean Omelette. Everything was delicious! Both had amazing flavor. I'll definitely be back to try some more things on the menu. read more

Old school classic diner fare. Great service by waitress named F-------a something. Spell it like it sounds, but I can't remember how it sounds. She's been there "only" 9 years. Great breakfast. Perfect French toast. Turkey bacon and eggs. Beers on tap. You could call it a hole in the wall, but only affectionately. Can't miss corner location and stainless steel facade. It's small. Toilets were small but spotless. read more

In the altered words of Guy Fieri, these crabcakes are GANGSTER. I'm giving a 4/5 because the service was very quick and kind. The crabcakes were huge and flavorful. They tasted fresh and they had a nice crisp to them. The Chesapeake Benedict with crab cakes is the way to go here. Big bang for your buck. The home fries were okay, but better than many other diners I've been to. Overall, great spot. read more

This was hands-down the best crab cake we have had since moving to Baltimore, at a cheaper price than most seafood restaurants. Im as surprised as anyone, but there it is: The menu said it was Guy Fieri's favorite, and I'll bet it's true. The sweet tea was clearly freshly brewed, and the sausage sandwich on brioche was delightful, but the crab cake is what we will be back for. read more

A quintessential diner experience. I especially love their breakfast bowls! Service is really friendly, fast. You can get a classic diner breakfast spread for around $10. read more

Never had a bad experience at a diner and that remains true for Sip & Bite as well. This was my first there and I really liked how they had a large menu. Apparently, Guy Fieri's favorite crab cake is here. I tried the crab balls, and even though they were good, I've had better crab cakes/balls. I also wish the crab balls were a little less crispy. I really enjoyed to the cream of crab soup and the blueberry lemonade. Our waitress was also really nice and gave us recommendations and insights. read more

I have done carryout before and it was great good. We went in on a Wednesday. The service was stellar. I'm sorry I don't remember her name but the server we had was a delightful person. She was so happy and attentive! Real Baltimore charm there! The food didn't disappoint either. We got Chesapeake eggs Benny and the eggs with spanakopita. All perfect! The hot sauce was on point too. The place was clean, quick, and a true diner feel. Give it a try you will not be disappointed! read more

Wow, What a great (quick) find for us. Saw Guy Fieri was here and loved the crab cakes so-here we ate. Forget Guy for now, that Lynne was the best waitress and host to us. The Balklava cheesecake was the bomb, as well as the crab cake. See you again real soon read more

This was my first visit. The crab balls were outstanding but pricey. The menu was large. The sweet potato pancakes were good but were undercooked. The French toast topped with fruit and whipped cream was outstanding. The scrambled eggs were ok. The scrapple and bacon were good. The diner is small. The staff was caring, friendly, warm and welcoming. read more

Food is about a 3 stars but my experience was about a 2. I did a simple to-go order. Store pickup. The place was empty when I arrived. Ordered the Sweet potato pancakes and other stuff. My order was incorrect but I live over a 1/2 hour away. I called and was told I'd get a return call and refund from the manager. After numerous attempts, I think it's safe to assume now that I won't be getting my money back. The food was ok. I've had sweet potato pancakes 2 other times and these were the best I've had. The rest of my order was inaccurate. Tasted decent. Just not what I ordered. Baltimore has a lot of quality breakfast spots so, I doubt I'll bother going out of my way to visit this place again given my experience, the prices and the lack of parking. I would like to thank Lynne, who answered my call the 2nd time and did put in the extra effort to relay the message to the manager. She even asked me to text her a pic of the receipt. Unfortunately, nobody else followed up with me. Oh well. Lesson learned. read more

love the food, Baltimore diamond in the Canton Area . Waitstaff very nice. Old establishment with a lot of charm

Our family stopped by Sip & Bite on Mother's Day for a quick breakfast on our way out of town. I agree with another review - it was a solid diner experience. Our service was a bit slow, especially because it was empty when we walked in, but it wasn't so slow that we became frustrated. Our server was very friendly, but seemed overwhelmed once a few other customers showed up. She also didn't seem confident in her menu knowledge when asked for opinions. Ultimately, we all ended up with something enjoyable. I had the crab cake breakfast experience- the crab cake was good, there wasn't a lot of filler, which is A+ in my book. My daughter had the dutch boy and it was also good - it's definitely an acquired taste, but we all enjoyed trying it. I'm not sure I would do it again, but that's purely based out of my personal preference. My husband had an omelet and he really enjoyed it - it was perfectly cooked. The sides of hashbrowns we all got were undercooked for our preference. If you like yours a little more done, I recommend requesting this. I'm not 100% sure we would go here again as out of towners. If we were locals we may as it's hard to mess up breakfast enough to keep us away. read more

A couple of friends and I dropped by for brunch, and it was a solid diner experience. I ordered the Hangover Helper (fried egg, bacon, avocado, and Sriracha over a bed of home fries), substituting the brioche for a biscuit even though it was smaller, and it hit the spot! The side of home fries were just okay, though. My friends seemed to enjoy their orders, too. Since there was no outside seating, we opted for a booth toward the back where there were fewer people seated. However, it started to fill up and soon enough, a table was seated right next to us. Fortunately we were almost finished with our meals so shortly thereafter we paid our bill and headed out. It's hard to forget about Covid-19, even as businesses are returning to business as usual. read more

Best Crab Cake in Maryland! Market price was $29.00 (3/13/22) but the absolute best item on the menu was All About the Benny's Chesapeake Style - Eggs Benedict with the famous crab cake covered with Hollandaise sauce on top of an English muffin!!!! This is a breakfast you won't forget!!! This restaurant was spotlighted on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. His face is on the windows and the menu. read more

This is a solid place for a diner experience. They have a nice menu with a lot of options. Their crabcake is excellent. Because of Covid, they were closed for dine-in for a long time but recently are back open for that. I usually go here for the breakfast menu and a coffee so I don't have much experience with the lunch and dinner menu, but the staff here is very nice and the food has been of consistent quality in my experience. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood location where you can sit down in a booth and have a mug of coffee put in front of you, this is the place. read more

Food here was really good. The crab bites were really the best I've had in Maryland. This will be staple spot whenever I'm in town again. The service was great and the business is family owned.

Long review ahead! Baltimore has no shortage of great Greek food and as it's one of my favorite cuisines (probably because I'm Greek) I was very intrigued. And who doesn't love a diner? It has a great history and deep family roots. Guy Fieri going made little impact on our decision to come try it out but it's a cool gimmick they have going. I'm honestly shocked the reviews aren't higher. We came during a snow storm and the waitress was so attentive and accommodating. She immediately gave us napkins to wipe the snow off of our hair. We couldn't decide which soup to try and she brought us a taste of each. All were great but we went with the Maryland crab soup. The ingredients seem to have a higher quality than other diners I've been to. As tempted as I was to try the infamous crab cakes here which came recommended, I had to try a signature Greek dish (also recommended). I had the Spartan Platter and was seriously blown away. The chicken souvlaki was unbelievably juicy, tender and perfectly seasoned. The Greek salad was perfectly crisp and I loved the creamy feta. They used cherry tomatoes which I love so it was a cool alternative. The tzatziki was one of the best I've had anywhere and so was the pita. Pita can be pretty boring but this is just next level. It's highly addictive, you've been warned! My mom got the Santorini omelet and I tried it so can confirm it was good! The baklava cheesecake really surprised me because it was light and airy unlike the typical diner cheesecake offerings. It was really delicious and I'd get it again. Great portions and decent prices too! Giving the food 5 stars and rating it that way to boost them... but the CONS that I'd rate 3.5/4 stars is the length of seats in the booth are so short! Definitely like to have a deeper seat when I'm eating, especially being tall! Not to mention it also could be a bit cleaner... the menus were dirty reused paper placemat types which grossed me out. Overall could use a clean but it didn't deter me from eating everything and forgetting to take a single photo. I'll definitely be visiting and ordering from here in the future and trying all sorts of things! I hope my experiences continue to be as good as the first one. read more

I've been eating here for years and years. I'll be honest, before Guy showed up I had stopped going because of a bad drunken late night experience involving gravy fries. But after being featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives I slowly began to try it again. They deserve the accolades they are given. Like most diners, breakfast is the star of the menu. There are no bad choices. The Santorini omelet is a favorite and worth a try. Perfectly balanced. For lunch/dinner I would recommend the Spartan Platter. However be aware that for takeout the amount of food is a bit too much for the container and the Tzatziki will end up soaking either fries or pita. In fact the only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars is that despite asking multiple times, I cannot seem to get them to put the tzatziki in a side container. I have gone so far as to ask for an additional side order of tzatziki so we could have some that wasn't contaminated by the rest of the platter for my wife and I to share. Even though they have charged me for that on the last three orders they have failed to include it in the take-out bag each time. It's not a huge amount of money and not the end of the world, but pretty irritating that they can't seem to get the order correct even when the ticket on the bag has it listed. Otherwise most menu items are well prepared and tasty. Overall a wonderful place to visit if you're willing to dine in, but carefully check your order if you're going to do takeout. I would not recommend delivery for multiple reasons including those listed above. read more

I ordered breakfast on 07/17/23. Sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel: This was pretty good. The sausage patty was very thin, but good. The eggs (scrambled) were light and good, and the cheese was melty. I would rate this item 4-5 stars. Lox on an everything bagel: This was not as good. It came with lettuce, tomato, cream cheese, capers (and lox obviously). It was not a lot of lox, and the whole thing was kind of a mess. I'd give this item maybe 3 stars. Overall, this place was good, but there are better breakfasts around for same price or cheaper. read more

The food is good but we've ordered from them several times now and without fail something is always forgotten.

What a great place! Great abundant comfort food! Friendly, fast service! Will be back! Worth the drive from Annapolis!
