    Fries
    Jon F.

    Came inside Cross Street Market for a bite. It was between Steve's or Chicken Lab. My fiancée convinced me to go with Steve's since they're usually closed when we're here. It did not disappoint. This might be my third time here. I usually get the cheesesteak lunch special that comes with a drink and fries ($13). I'm glad they were busy because the staff appears hard working and the food here is very good. The cheesesteak roll was soft and chewy, and the oils and grease did not seep through. I got onions and provolone and as you can see from the photos, the sandwich was hot and fresh, with a nice stretch from the cheese. The fries had a nice color, crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. This meal hit the spot. There is plenty of seating inside CSM. Come to Steve's for a great satisfying meal at a reasonable price.

    Sausage egg and cheese on wheat

    It's meh. The set up, service, and food are just meh. The prices aren't that crazy considering the food is less than average. The hamburger was dry and seemed like it had died in a freezer months ago. There was a decent attempt made on the sausage egg and cheese on wheat. I could have just gone over to the crepe woman and had something fire. It's nothing to write home about but will keep you from starvation.

    No fuss, no frills, just an older man and his griddle cooktop. You get your order in and you leave in an exchange of few words. Steve's Lunch is far from glamorous, but it is fast, and when you just wanna walk down the street with burger and fries in hand before you get back to your shift, Steve's has your back with some of the thickest kaiser rolls I've seen. It actually works great, since all of the mess you'd get with a weaker bun is contained by the roll; this is, in a word, perfect stroll snacking. It's the cheapest food in the entire Cross Street Market, too, which is probably its niche. I can't hate it, but I wish the fries were seasoned a bit more evenly. At least I got my money's worth from one of the few mom and pop-style places left in the downtown area.

    What you might expect for a quick diner bite. I got the egg, bacon, and hashbrown breakfast. The price was excellent- $8.48! The customer service was great. The meal was cooked fresh to order and didn't take long to prepare at all. The hash browns were delicious. The bacon, a bit salty. The eggs were very bland. I would ask them to put seasoning on them next time. Easy, breezy breakfast in the Cross Street Market.

    I feel silly giving any sort of review for a business I only bought a homemade unsweetened ice tea from (it was a hot day and yes it was a damn good tea!). But for those who loved this place in the past and would appreciate an update, or else for those interested in checking it out for the first time, I'm here to share a photo of their latest menu (late June 2022)

    The food at this location is on point, if you are in to American fried food. They give large portions for the price as well. I had the cheesesteak and fries and was impressed. The bread for the sandwiches is very good!

    Sausage, Egg, and Cheese

    (6/28/2016) Was waiting for my car to get serviced on a weekday morning at Firestone and wandered over to Cross Street Market just to see what was open. Surprisingly, a lot at 9 am. Bruce Lee Wings and Nick's were tempting, but I went straight through past the butchers and fishmonger to the Light Street side and found Steve's Lunch. Usually we're here on a football Sunday drinking quart beers at Nick's raw bar or happy hour in the evenings and this part of the market is closed. There were 3 ladies working the counter, classic Bawlmer hons. There were several service and night shift staff coming in for their "lunches" or "dinner." Plenty of regulars, greeted by name and sandwiches already started before they ordered. Got a standard breakfast sandwich: sausage, egg, American cheese, on wheat toast. They use straight up shell eggs here. Bread was lightly toasted, very soft, like Wonder bread (not necessarily a bad thing in this case). Sausage patty was fatty, salty, peppery. Classic American diner fare, made to order, and piping hot. Prices cheap for Fed Hill.

    Menu since the renovations to Cross St Market, very reasonable prices

    Their service is fast, and their turkey club sandwich on whole wheat toast is delicious.

    The employees were great but the food, certainly interesting. Pretty chill spot inside, but the…read morechicken (garlic parm seasoned, for reference) was some strange creation with more salt than the fries leading to the chicken leaving so much dry and wet residue on my fingers that I had to opt for using a fork to hold it because only washing my hands could get it off. Wiping them with a napkin tore the napkin before getting that stuff off my hands. And that's shocking, I absolutely LOVE garlic parm, it's one of my favorite seasonings on anything full stop. You can also tell they use peanut oil because it's SO greasy despite how dry the seasoning was. The fries were pretty good although the seasoning on them was a bit inconsistent. I'd rather just go to chick fil a to get two chicken sandwiches there. I can see why people might like it, but absolutely not for me and get one of the sauces that comes in a cup instead of on the chicken (basically anything but the spicy or garlic parm).

Ordering was easy, even on the self-ordering kiosk and the wrap was prepared in a timely manner. The wrapped traveled well, as I got it to go. It was reasonably priced, too. Above all, the wrapped was delicious! It had a great balance of lettuce and chicken and the dressing was delicious. I personally do not think I would eat in the restaurant, however it was clean and had tons of tables.

I was hoping to park on the street to run in but ended up driving around for 10+ minutes before ending up in the lot. Turns out my parking was free so it worked out just fine. For the food, I got the cheese pizza with prosciutto and the mango habanero wings. The pizza was fantastic, and I really liked that you can order a half portion which was great for 2 people. The crust was crispy, and the cheese and sauce were great, and it was packed with prosciutto. The wings were also great, I loved the sauce and the sesame seeds on some of them which was a fun twist.

    Ive been to this establishment several times in the past…read more Due to the previous experience being good I decided to dine here. Parking anywhere downtown especially the inner harbor on the street is very limited; and the parking garages are insane at times. I found parking and made way to this establishment at the Power Plant. There was a Flippino festival going on at Power Plant as well. When we entered the establishment, we were immediately seated. Seating is only at high tops or the bar. We started off with a couple drinks, old bay wings and cheesesteak sliders. The drinks were ok, not 5 star rating. The cheesesteak sliders were okay as well. We ordered Old bay fries which came out great. After digesting the wings, sliders and fries we ordered the Peppers and Onions pizza with added spinach. The pizza came out very light. Ive had this pizza previously and it was toasted and not doughy. There was very little cheese. The pizza disappointed. So after all, I was very disappointed with the choice of this establishment today. Absolutely nothing but the friendly attentive staff was a plus. The staff were beyond attentive. It could be a bad day but definitely not good since I havent been here in about 3 plus years. The prices has increased tremendously as well. I wouldnt say not to go but based on today, I would be skeptical to return again for myself in the future.
