    1/2 Rib Meal Catfish Nuggets
    Justin I.

    5 stars my meal was delicious and received great service , everything is great here so whatever your in the mood for on the menu you cant go wrong I ordered pork ribs, coleslaw , baked beans and catfish nuggets my don got pulled pork , fries and yams , also the strawberry lemonade is probably the best I ever had. There are a few tables inside and picnic tables outside to demolish your meal its pretty small inside but this is a real deal bbq joint .You can order at the counter they also have a kiosk to order from.I will be back soon.

    We found this location on Instagram and definitely wanted to try. I'm so happy we did. We were greeted with top tier customer service! We were provided with recommendations on favorite dishes. We ordered fish, bbq baked black beans (THEY ARE MY FAV!) , yams, Mac and cheese and grilled wings (too good! Omg!). This place is truly a gem! I encourage you to stop by for some good eats and great customer service! You won't regret it!

    Was very excited to find this black owned barbecue restaurant minutes from my home. I was greeted when I walked in. They have a nice amount of seating inside the restaurant and a nice patio area outside, perfect for when the weather is nice. Although I wanted to order everything I started with just the Catfish sandwich and two sides. The fish was very well seasoned and came with a bag of chips. For the price I wish it included a little more like lettuce, tomato or cheese as options for the sandwich. I also got the Mac n cheese when was pretty good and the yams because they were out of cabbage. I will definitely be back to try the bbq soon!

    What a welcomed replacement of Woodrow's! I hadn't been in the area for quite a while and was unaware a new place nestled into this location! Decided to check it out! Service was friendly. Their frozen drinks, absolutely amazing! The size for the cost is awesome as well! I had a kiwi apple and we got the strawberry I think watermelon it was. Very very tasty! We grabbed a 2 meat item with sides and a brisket sandwich which was good but for me personally, I like a leaner cut of brisket. I may see if that request can be satisfied next time. The place is similar to Woodrow's with the chalk board and the overall layout! I will most definitely return!

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Justin B.

    5,5,5! We were out and about visiting customers and did not know where to go. I went on Yelp! And looked around. I saw BBQ, my favorite food. So we headed over. The location of this spot is great. It's such a cute little area for a couple blocks that have all types of trendy stuff. Like a little triangular neighborhood. Guy at the counter that served us was super friendly and helpful. Love the decor here and the outdoor tables are great. The food was absolutely delicious. If you like BBQ you gotta try it. I got pulled pork and my coworker got the brisket. The BBQ sauce was perfect. I'm a sauce guy. So I know.

    Baked beans
    Jen S.

    Simple, straightforward BBQ joint where it's done right! Tim is awesome and the food is wonderful. Ribs are amazing, pulled chicken, cabbage if they have it, broccoli....baked beans! It was all fantastic! Cornbread muffins too! It's small, and does a lot of carry out but we enjoyed a lovely meal on the porch, even though it was raining.

    Decided to come here for my sister and I monthly lunch date. The customer service was great! There's limited seating inside and also outside. Now onto the food. The catfish was delicious, seasoned and fried just the way I like it. The Mac and cheese had great flavor and cheesy. It's made with shells instead of elbow pasta. It held the cheese sauce well. The cabbage was good had a down home flavor. My sister said the pulled pork was good but she liked my catfish more. She also liked the candied yams. They also have slushies and my sister got the peach one which she really like. Overall it was a great choice. Will definitely be back.

    Pickles and a lesson in focusing the camera.

    When the previous bbq place at this location closed, I was fairly sad. There's not a lot of good spots to pop in for lunch. So, I was really excited when this place popped up in that location. It honestly looks identical to the old restaurant, and I suspect someone just took it over. The menu is seemingly the same. I ordered a pulled pork bbq sandwich platter, with fries and mac. It also comes with pickled veggies and a bag of crisps. The sandwich came quickly and was slathered with bbq sauce. The sauce is a bit sweet for me -- honestly it reminds me of "sweet baby ray," and I would not be shocked to find out they're using it -- but it was tasty. The pork was flavourful, though I do wish there was something else on the bun, too. The mac was fantastic, and you can taste the cheeses in the mix. Gouda, I think? Whatever, it's good. It's really rich and I couldn't finish it. Wimp. The pickles are the best part, though they're spicy. Overall, a nice addition to the Mt Wash area.

    Brisket sandwich

    I checked out this newly opened bbq spot for lunch today with a friend. It's a very small operation in which the owner both takes the orders and cooks. He was extremely kind and greeted my friend and me as soon as we walked in. Our food came out pretty quickly (in about 10-15 minutes). I ordered the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese as a side, and my friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. The first bites of our meals were heaven. I found the meat to be well seasoned and extremely tender. I loved the bbq sauce and wish I had ordered a little extra for my sandwich. It was quite warm in the restaurant, but the heat is honestly miserable everywhere right now so I'm not sure how much of that is on the owner. All in all, it's a great spot for a delicious meal, and I would come back!

    On beef rib Ridiculous!!!

    One beef rib Ridiculous size!! The smoke cooked perfectly through out

    Full rack of ribs w collards, mac n cheese, fries and 2 mango lemonades on the porch
    Liz M.

    If you want to feel like you pulled up to grandpappys and got you some perfectly seasoned and smoked ribs with grandma's sides then come here. Drinks are on the large side, staff is so kind and they even got a Parker area w picnic tables but we opted for the cozy front porch full of shade, no flies so we could people watch and chat. Such a lovely meal to start off our summer. We will be back.

    Beef Brisket Meal with mac & cheese and potato salad
    Mollie W.

    Being from Oklahoma with family in Texas, I find it very challenging to find good BBQ in Baltimore. No longer! I was in the Mt. Washington area and looked on Yelp for nearby restaurants when Train Stop popped up with great reviews. I expected a small restaurant, but it was tiny with only a few tables for indoor seating. The counter guy explained how I could order on the QR code so I sat at a table and was perusing the menu when the owner came over and said he would just take my order. So nice! Some friendly regulars told me how great this place is while we all waited for our orders. They weren't wrong! The 1/2 Rib meal was YUGE and made for leftovers. The side of black beans was amazing, as were the fries. I'm very picky about beef brisket because usually it's too tough and not flavorful, but this was smoooooth and tender with excellent flavor. It also made for leftovers thank goodness. The mac & cheese was delicious, too. Everything I tried was fantastic. Excellent personal service by the chef/owner made my first experience here memorable and I'll definitely be returning when I'm craving some Q.

    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. It might be worth turning the TV off near the counter so staff can give customers the attention and service they deserve. Overall, not a great experience.
