Great little spot in Hampden a few blocks from the Avenue and on the way to the light rail if…read moreyou're planning on going to a game downtown. I'm a pescatarian so I haven't tried their BBQ meats (the friends I've brought have raved about their brisket) but they do have a vegan jackfruit sandwich that's solid and I love their Mac and cheese. I normally go to sit at the bar and enjoy their cocktails and whiskey selection which is one of the best near me. They have a great selection of some of those hard to acquire bourbons and quite a few exclusive barrel picks. The last time I was in, my buddy and I finally tried their Buffalo Trace and Rittenhouse picks on their own (as opposed to my standard Manhattan) and I ended up taking a bottle of their Rittenhouse home.

I was really excited to try Blue Pit BBQ after seeing it named Maryland's 2026 Best BBQ Joint, but…read moremy experience was super disappointing. Service was friendly and welcoming upon walk-in, but that was the best part of our experience. The food sadly did not match the reputation. EVERYTHING came out lukewarm, the brisket was overcooked and dry, cornbread was burnt and hard, greens had no seasoning, and the baked beans were overwhelmingly vinegary. The bratwurst was underwhelming with no real snap, and even the B-side drink was way too sour. The mac & cheese and coffee BBQ sauce were the only good items of our entire meal. I really hope the kitchen staff was having an uncommon off-day, because this visit didn't reflect the recognition at all. Our meal was a compete letdown, so I hope they improve for future diners soon. PS - There is an upstairs and a downstairs, but if you sit upstairs, you have to order your food downstairs - they do bring the food up to you though.

TLDR: Bigger space, same legendary pit beef. Still one of the best sandwiches in Baltimore, and the…read morenew location makes it even easier to enjoy. If you're talking Baltimore pit beef, Chaps Pit Beef has been a staple for years, and after coming here for over a decade, I can confidently say it still delivers every single time. Their new location, just a stone's throw from the original humble shack, is a huge upgrade. You get the same iconic food, but now with a much larger dining room that actually makes it easy to bring a group without fighting for space. It's the best of both worlds. Same old school flavor with a more comfortable setup. On my most recent visit, I stuck with my go to. A loaded hoagie absolutely packed with pit beef, corned beef, sausage, and turkey. It's massive, messy in the best way, and exactly what you want when you're craving something unapologetically Baltimore. I paired it with a large order of fries, which were piled high and perfect for sharing. Decided to switch it up a bit and try the Holy Cod fish sandwich too, and that ended up being a sleeper hit. Huge portion of crispy fried cod, topped with fresh coleslaw on a soft bun. Not something you usually go to Chaps for, but honestly worth ordering. Everything came out crazy fast, which is always impressive considering how busy they can get. Quick stop at the condiment bar is a must. Load up on the free pickles, onions, Carolina Gold mustard, and that tiger sauce. The horseradish and mayo combo just hits different on pit beef. Bottom line, Chaps might not be a hidden gem anymore, but it doesn't need to be. It still outperforms most spots in the pit beef game and continues to be one of the best sandwiches you can get in Baltimore.

We visited on Monday and were really disappointed. The pit beef and corned beef both tasted old and…read morewere very tough--honestly, barely chewable. It didn't even have the smell or feel of a proper pit beef place. Customer service also needs improvement. The cashier taking our order seemed more focused on watching the baseball game on TV than helping customers.

The spare ribs and brisket were very good; the pit pork was disappointing -- mostly smoky with little other flavor. They only offered one tomato‑based BBQ sauce; I'd recommend adding more tomato‑based sauce options for variety. Sides: the French fries were excellent, reminding us of Five Guys, and the coleslaw was delicious. Service: our waiter Mike was friendly and helpful. Comfort and access: the seating needs better padding -- the chairs were uncomfortable -- and parking is in the rear with no sidewalk to the entrance, forcing you to walk along the street near traffic. Overall, a solid meal with a few areas for improvement.

Literally drive 90 min from PA to Halo's because the food is THAT good…read more Halo Hawaiian in Maryland is one of those places you go to because you're hungry, not because it looks flashy -- and honestly, that works in its favor. The space is basic, but the food is what keeps people coming back. The portions are big without feeling sloppy. The chicken katsu is solid: crispy on the outside, still juicy inside, and not drowned in sauce. The BBQ plates are dependable -- sweet, smoky, and cooked well -- especially if you like a mix of meats. Nothing feels overdone, and that's kind of the point. The mac salad deserves a mention because it actually tastes like mac salad, not some watered-down side. Creamy, simple, and it pairs well with everything else on the plate. Rice is cooked right, which shouldn't be a big deal, but it is. It's not trying to be trendy or upscale Hawaiian food. It's just straightforward comfort food that fills you up and tastes good. If you're looking for a reliable spot when you want something hearty and familiar, Halo Hawaiian gets the job done.

I also got some teriyaki sauce on the side and I'm glad I did because the pork definitely needed a little sauce.

The flavor was delicious but the takeout bag leaked pork juice (?) all over my other groceries so that kinda sucked. That's the only reason for my 4 stars this time, but the food was amazing as always!

Then the banchan was the glass noodles, kimichi, kimichi cucumbers, daikon radish and we also got an order of dumplings. The food was delicious. The manager was the only one working and he handled us with care. Coming over to check on us periodically and even assisting with cooking some of the meat for us. For the amount of money we spent we were thoroughly satisfied with the portion of food given. Even ended up having some leftovers. I like to eat out and Steak N Bone is definitely going in my rotation. The restaurant is clean, bathroom spacious and noise level is moderate.

This past Friday it was really chilly and my work colleague wanted some hot tofu soup. Not to mention this is one of the best Korean Pocha spots in the city, with a 70-80's retro street vibe features traditional Korean cuisine, Korean BBQ & other specialties. The wait staff was really nice and inviting. They were very knowledgeable about the various food options. It was really cool to hear catchy K-pop songs playing as week. The food is fire hands down. I went ahead and got the Teriyaki mayonnaise Cup Bap( rice bowl topped with the korean fried chicken, teriyaki sauce and mayo). So delicious, my friend got he soft tofu soup with seafood and we split a hot sake to share. I am still mad at myself that I have not come here sooner, I will definitely be back.

Big Bad Wolf has consistently had the best bbq ribs in the Baltimore-Washington area for years…read more This is primarily a take out place (though there are a few barstools and a single picnic table outside). We like to call in our order and then drive over to pick it up. The sides are single servings, but not tiny and could be shared in a pinch. And a pinch is what many of us are experiencing now. So think carefully when deciding how many and what size side to order. My one quibble is that, as costs are increasing for everyone, the quality has gone down a little. As in, the ribs were slightly more fatty than they used to be, and the meat portion a little smaller. But still, the flavor can't be beat, and if its ribs I'm wanting, this is where I will go time and again.
