    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

    Was in Baltimore for just a day to celebrate a friend and had the most amazing brunch here…read more There are no reservations so you wanna get there early to put your name down. It was a cold day so our wait for 4 people was short, but I'd imagine that in the summer it's longer. Overall the restaurant itself is small but super cute. I loved the decor and the layout. We went with the mimosa sampler which had 3 juices and a bottle of Prosecco. I liked the passion fruit juice and my friends loved the lavender flavor. We shared the peach cobble French toast as a starter because it sounded too good to pass up. And it was amazing! Legit some of the best French toast that I've ever had. For my main dish, I had the short rib hash and it was also delicious. The short rib was tender and flavorful. The creme fraise and the peppers really set it off. Service was also good, we had a very attentive waitress. Plus the music was good vibes. I'd definitely come back when in Baltimore

    Easy Like Sunday lives up to its name. Came here for brunch on a busy Sunday and even though they…read moredo not take reservations, the wait was only around 20 minutes. The place was clearly popular but the staff handled the crowd really well. Service was great from start to finish. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and the food and drinks came out at a good pace. The drinks were a highlight. We ordered a mimosa flight with a few different flavors and it was a fun way to start brunch. All of them were light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Food was equally strong. One dish came with eggs, toast, and a veggie mix topped with avocado and cheese that was full of flavor. The Monte Cristo was also excellent. Perfectly crisp, lightly sweet from the powdered sugar, and great with the jam on the side. Great vibe, tasty drinks, and solid brunch food. Definitely worth the visit if you are looking for a good brunch spot.

    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.

I had the Southern Slammer Sandwich (with the grits) and my sister had the Fried Chicken, Biscuit and Gravy Omelet (with the hash browns). We couldn't stop saying how good they were! 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.
