Short Stack French Toast
Kari H.

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.

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.

Fish sandwich and onion rings
Paula D.

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.

Chesapeake Benedict
Sammy K.

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!

Sip & Bite is a key historical establishment of the food scene in Baltimore. When you enter, you are receiving top notch customer service and that good, cozy Baltimorean hon love. Today I got the Hippe omelet and it was soooo delicious! I also got a side order of veggie sausage, it hit the spot well! I highly recommend anyone visiting Baltimore to visit this fine historical establishment

Corned Beef Hash Side Short Stack French Toast  Ravens Touchdown Breakfast Platter
Danie B.

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

Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast
Shameerah S.

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!

Cinna-Bomb Pancakes The Mediterranean Omelette
Dejuan L.

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.

Chesapeake eggs Benedict with legendary crab cakes

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.

Crab Balls
Lola A.

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.

Chesapeake Benedict
Jackie A.

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!

Ask the Community - Sip & Bite

Does Sip and Bite have wifi? Would love it for an all-night study spot.

I'm not sure about the wifi, but I actually wouldn't recommend this spot for studying... it's very loud after midnight because everyone is leaving the bars/clubs in the area. And there is actually a line out the door for people waiting to be seated.… Read more

I've recently started working in the area and they are supper close thus I decided to try them out…read more I was very excited when I saw it was Korean owned however their K-food section is only two items; Bulgogi Dupbap & the Bulgogi Sub. The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

Solid Experience, But I Miss the Old Owner…read more Café on the Square is a reliable spot with decent food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and the dishes were tasty, but nothing that really stood out. That being said, I miss the old owner--there was something special about his presence that made every visit feel more welcoming and personal. I hope the new management keeps things moving in the right direction. I'll definitely return, but it's just not quite the same without the old vibe.

The service was on point, everyone was very nice, and the noise level was fine. Here is something I literally have never experienced anywhere else: My sister has a couple of food allergies and she gave the waitress a piece of paper where she listed out what she can and cannot have. A few minutes later, a lovely young woman (I think she said she was a manager) came out and discussed the list with my sister in detail, just to make sure the restaurant got it exactly right. My sister almost cried! As far as timing goes: They don't take reservations, but they have an efficient system -- when you arrive, they take down your name and phone number, tell you how long the wait will be, and then text you when it's your turn. They told us 40 minutes but it turned out to be only 20, so it's good we hadn't wandered too far away. Next time we're in Baltimore, we'll definitely be back.

The restaurant itself is small and cozy, so we had about a 30 minute wait, but it was worth it. We ordered the G&G Country Scramble, Sweet Baby Jesus, Cap'n Crunch French Toast, and the spicy crab, tomato, and pepper jack dish. The menu definitely has a Southern-style Maryland feel with things like crab, biscuits and gravy, and grits throughout. Portions are huge, and the food was rich, comforting, and very filling. We absolutely needed a nap afterward. The Cap'n Crunch French Toast was perfect to share for the table. I recommend eating it first while it is still crispy on the outside. Our table favorite was the G&G Country Scramble, followed closely by the Sweet Baby Jesus. I also tried the homemade lemonade and it was delicious. Service was great and the whole place had a warm, family-style atmosphere. One helpful thing to note, a 20% gratuity is automatically included on bills over $50, and they do not split checks. There were signs posted, but mentioning it here in case it helps others planning to visit.
