    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    The staff was awesome. It was clean. The food was good. The crab cake was nothing special even though it is their claim to fame.

    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.…

    The best breakfast I have ever had…read more I don't even know where to start. But if you are ever in Baltimore, this is an absolute must. Anytime I within 2 hours of the area I will be making time to come back here The Sweet Baby Jesus. The crispiest hashbrowns I ever had loaded with jumbo lump crab meat, cheese and perfectly poached eggs. When I come back I'm getting the crab Benedict on top of those biscuits The biscuits and gravy. I h have never had a bustin or gravy so good in my life. I genuinely think the gravy almost ruined the biscuit for how perfect that was. It was cutting like butter with a spoon and I could eat a dozen of those without anything The Captain Crunch French Toast. This is what got Guy Fieri here back in 08. Idk how the entirety of this was so perfectly coated to get that crunch with a fully cooked and soft inside still. Unbelievable The Pina Colada French Toast. Coated and cooked in toasted coconuts shavings topped with white chocolate mousse caramelized, banana and pineapple. The was the one we were iffy on and I can't even imagine not getting this next time I go back The cinnamon roll. I don't even need to speak on this. Just look at it I simply cannot believe how astonishing this spot was in every aspect. I will be making it out here at least once a year guaranteed and then whenever I can find an excuse to This was truly proper perfection The inside is VERY limited in seating and gets packed fast. If you wanna sit down, Arrive accordingly and early. Inside decor was giving Edgar Allan Poe. Lots of cool art

    My husband and I recently dined at Blue Moon Cafe in Fells Point, Baltimore, and were disappointed…read moreby our experience. The issue began when my husband politely asked a question about a menu item because it appeared to be spelled "browns" rather than "hash browns." He simply wanted clarification regarding what the item was. The server asked him for context, and he explained that he was referring to the item as it appeared on the menu. She then replied, "Oh, now I have context. That's a hash brown." My husband explained that because of the way it was written, he wasn't sure what it meant and was only asking a question before ordering. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably louder, and she responded, "Well, I only work here. I didn't write the menu." We found this response unnecessarily defensive and dismissive. At no point was my husband criticizing the server or correcting her. He was simply trying to understand a menu item. Shortly afterward, a different server began assisting our table, which gave us the impression that the original server was upset by the interaction. When my husband placed his order, he specifically requested that the restaurant's "animal sauce" be served on the side. The menu does not explain what animal sauce is, so he wanted to try it separately before putting it on his meal. When the food arrived, the dish was completely covered in the sauce rather than having it on the side as requested. Afterward, we learned that the sauce is a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. My husband does not eat mayonnaise and ketchup on eggs, which is exactly why he requested the sauce on the side. Unfortunately, because of the uncomfortable interaction earlier, he did not feel comfortable asking for the dish to be corrected and simply tried to eat around it. The meal was not inexpensive, and because the sauce had been poured over most of the food, he was unable to enjoy it. Approximately 80% of his meal was left uneaten. We understand that mistakes happen and that restaurant environments can be busy. However, customers should be able to ask questions about menu items and make simple requests without feeling uncomfortable or concerned about how those requests will be received. Description of waitress: Caucasian Middle aged Heavy set Extremely loud voice Rude ( nice/nasty) We wanted to share this feedback because the interaction negatively impacted our dining experience and left us feeling unwelcome. We hope this feedback is received in the spirit intended so that future guests feel comfortable asking questions and making requests without concern.
