We came to Watershed for lunch. when we walked inside, we waited at the bar for a few mins, and the bartender was on her phone at the back of the bar. the security guard who greeted us outside walked in and told her we had come in, but we were already making our way to the restrooms. we also passed a couple who were yelling "excuse me miss" to get the bartenders attention. at this time there were 8 people there. Since it was a nice day, we decided to go to the upstairs outdoor bar instead. We sat, neither bartender acknowledged us (this time there were 12 people seated) for several minutes. Once one did, bartended 1 came over with waters and menus. After a few minutes bartender 1 returned with the drinks we ordered, and I ordered a cup of cream of crab. the soup came quickly, and the server dropped it off. The soup was good, temp was nice. However, the neither one of the bartenders had not brought us silverware or napkins until I flagged him down. When bartender 1 dropped the silverware my friend said I'd like to order food now, and she ordered the Maui Po Boy, and I ordered the wings, well done. When the food came out, a runner dropped off about 20 mins or so, the sandwich and side of kale salad looked great. She did like it, flavor was good, temp good. My wings however, were very cold. Air temp was 81 degrees, and these were noticeably colder than that. I pushed them to the front of the bar, and both bartenders walked past twice, before I finally stopped bartender 2 know the wings were very cold. He looked at me and I said I mean you can fell it, it's very cold. Bartender 2 said I ain't feeling that, rolled his eyes, grabbed the plate and tossed into the trash and walked away. Bartender 1 came over and I said my wings were cold, the other bartender tossed them, can you just take them off the check? He said ok, walked over to the computer and took them off. He then came back and refilled my friends drink, but left mine empty? I sat there while she ate her meal, and he never came back for me to ask for one refill 10 mins later, the runner is back to drop off more wings, I said I didn't order wings again, I asked them to be taken off the bill? When my friend finished her meal, bartender 1 brought the check over. We noticed "facilities fee 3%" I asked bartender 1 is that the credit card fee? he said yes. I said well, we are paying cash, and he said he couldn't remove the 3% charge... We will not be back to this location, which is a shame cause it has potential read more

Crab-a-licious! When in Baltimore, you must do what Baltimoreans do... eat crabs! And, this place came highly recommended. With a great menu of options you will not be disappointed at all. It's crabby, it's fishy, and it's quite tasty. I never thought this bar would offer some solid seafood, but it did exactly that. The service was top notch also. I can see this being a hot spot for events, happy hour drinks and gobbling down some tasty food. The atmosphere is for all, and ambiance is pleasant as it looks modern and clean. read more

Their happy hr is still a go to. On another visit checked them out. Got the Bmore crush...very rye forward. Good. Their crispy calamari doesn't disappoint. It's also very well seasoned. You can also never go wrong with their oysters. They have a great selection from briny to buttery. I was however disappointed in the cream of crab soup. Although pretty in presentation, It tasted unlike cream of crab soup. Not creamy at all. Tasted a bit leftover and old. Like someone attempted to save it but, it should've been tossed. And that I did after 2 spoons. :( read more

Olé olé olé olé sweetie pie! A night out of drinks with the fellas and we having a good time at the watershed rooftop bar. The service was pretty slow since it's a Saturday night and there were only 4 bartenders so you gotta be patient However the rooftop vibes make up for the wait. I ordered the olé sweetie pie which is their version of an old fashioned. It is mixed well sweet but strong. I heard that watershed makes strong drinks and this did not disappoint read more

We made a reservation for 9:00 pm (restaurant is open until 11:00 pm). About 15-minutes later I received a call from the restaurant telling me that at 9:45 pm, the fresh fish menu would not be available. We were already in route but didn't see a problem with ordering well before 9:45 pm since we would be there by 9:00 pm. We arrived and we were seated. Five minutes went by, then 10 minutes went by, and after a 15 minute wait, still no waitress came by to take our drink order. We figured out that the waitress was ignoring us on purpose so we would leave, which we did. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO THIS RESTAURANT. I'm sure the owner would want to know how their employees are not serving potential customers. read more

Customer service was a little lacking . I was hoping for a more friendly staff but the bartenders seemed to have an attitude, both of them lol maybe they were sour for having to work on a holiday?? We stopped here before dinner for a little HH action. The decor is cute , who doesn't love a rooftop and the rain held back for us. It's an Atlas restaurant so you can't go wrong in terms of food. I really enjoy the HH 3-6pm and $8 powerful crush, you can't beat that. Already feeling like summer . I'll definitely be back soon. Maybe not directly at the bar lol. I was able to use my Atlas app so it made it all worth it to me. read more

I enjoyed the drinks and vibe for good night out. Would definitely go again to try the food

Ok so let's get into this. Wait time wasn't bad. We went downstairs because it was hot. The host accommodated us by sitting us far from the door so we wouldn't feel warm breeze when door opens. The waiter was as amazing, very knowledgeable of everything. Oysters were described perfectly in the menu, I tried the sweetest ones, very good. We only ordered appetizers but they were good and quick. Only item I was confused about was the blacken tuna, how are you supposed the eat it and how is it sharable? It's layered like a sandwich and wonton gets saw-gee from sitting in liquid. Was very tasteful but definitely not meant to share. read more

I actually stumbled in here on a Sunday afternoon while headed to a Yelp Elite experience in Federal Hill. What a treat to learn it was an Atlas Restaurant and I could earn rewards points in my app. We were seated right away near the bar so we could enjoy the televised NFL Combine , burgers and beer. I smiled when I saw Green Machine IPA from our local Diamondback Brewery on tap. Yes, please! It's my favorite brew at the moment. My partner ordered the Checkerspot NEIPA, another local brew and both owned by UMD Terps! Off to a good start, I ordered the Watershed Burger cooked well done, no pink. I usually hesitate to order burgers because when I ask for no pink, they arrive very pink. This time was different. The burger was cooked exactly how I requested and was loaded with all sorts of deliciousness. Shredded lettuce, pickles, tomato, caramelized onions and a special sauce made for a delicious burger. The fries were amazing and a bit like Boardwalk fries with just enough sea salt. Yummers. Excellent service by Zay. Besides being friendly and having a very cool name, they also had a razzle dazzle smile. Cute restaurant, cozy booths and natural sunlight. read more

Dined at this restaurant for the first time and I can't say it wowed me but I'm sure I'll eat here again. I'm sure the next time I'll probably Uber seeing how it was super hard to find parking especially on a Saturday evening. I really liked the sports bar feel with the big screen TVs. Our server was Brandon, who was friendly and professional but maybe a little overwhelmed with the number of patrons whom he was responsible for. The drinks- I ususally drink classic margaritas but of late I've been loving the taste of a Bluberry Lemon Drop. Watershed didn't have that but I tried a Raspberry one- it was underwhelming. My husband had his usual Orange Crush and said it was okay. Our meals consisted of wings and salmon/shrimp in a sauce, it was okay. One thing I was not impressed with was the long line of individuals waiting to use the unisex restroom. Still these are minor issues and I would definitely recommend others to dine here. read more

I love this place! It's huge so there's plenty of seating options on s available, with a rooftop that can be covered with heaters on the chillier days. This place is best known for its seafood and orange crushes, it's the classic Maryland spot. I've never ordered something here and didn't love it. Prices are super Reasonable, drinks are big and strong, and the service is quick. Crab cake Benedict, cream of crab soup, and the seafood boil are some of my favorites! read more

Very solid orange crushes, rooftop vibes, and super friendly staff. I had the crab cake platter, which I liked a lot. The fries were the star of the show though, super good. The asparagus could use some garlic or flavor - it was pretty bland. But overall, a solid meal. The burger someone at the table got looked fire, I love smash burgers so I'll have to get that sometime. Will be back for sure! read more

Have been to this place just for drinks previously, but I wanted to take advantage of their happy hour specials. Got a little birthday money so I felt like splurging myself and having some fresh oysters. I ordered half a dozen and they were super fresh with all of the normal fixings that you would find at a bar and Baltimore. In addition to, the oysters I had a 32 ounce beer for six bucks which is a steal if you ask me. I saw the person sitting next to us order a burger that looked really good. I asked them what it was and they said it was the happy hour burger. So I ordered it. And I must say it was really good. Actually surprisingly good burger at a bar happy hour. Definitely will go back. I like that you can go upstairs and have a nice little view of light street downstairs also. It's a good place to have friends and watch the game. definitely will be going back. read more

Service was great. The host (may have been the manager) was super friendly and inviting. Dell was our server - he was perfect. Didn't harp on us, kept distance when we needed it but keen on not letting us wait too long. This place has amazing chicken and waffles. Let's start there. Its 5/5 - YOU CANNOT GO WRONG ordering it. This time around i tried crab cake egg rolls and the shed platter. $20 for 2 egg rolls cut in half. Not worth the price. They were full of crab meat but were missing something. $16 for the shed platter was ok. Its your basic breakfast platter. Eggs and potatoes were really good. Chicken sausage was dry and not appetizing. Overall pleasant experience would recommend for Chicken and Waffles. read more

Drove my family up from DC for a dessert festival but we knew needed to eat first. Watershed was on my list so I made reservations in the car. We arrived and were quickly seated. This was place really clean and spacious. I didn't expect this. Wasn't crowded at all. We all ordered Shrimp Po' Boys as we wanted room for dessert later. About 15 mins went by and everything came out hot. The French fries were delicious. Perfect amount of salt. The Po' Boy was phenomenal. Perfect temperature, soft bread, very well seasoned shrimp. I'm a fan and would definitely come back. read more

Watershed - SHRIMP PO BOY - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Came here during happy hour and sat at the bar. It's a small rooftop but it's a nice chill vibe. It's also located next to/with cross street market! The music was a little bit of a toss, with throwbacks but also current hits. Bartender was quick but food took a bit. I tried the lime crush and the old bay mussels. Both were great! The crush was a little sweet at first, but after some ice melted, it mellowed out and was refreshing. The mussels were really good--garlicky and savory. There were whole roasted cloves of garlic and roasted, sliced cherry tomatoes. Definitely need some gum after eating this haha! Not sure how a regular meal here is but I'd say happy hour is worth it! read more

Found this close to our air bnb & it was a pleasant surprise! Would recommend if you're looking for a seafood option without trekking all the way to the harbor. The fries were great (have a slight kick to it). The scallops were AMAZING - would recommend this! The pasta was loaded with seafood, but nothing to phone home about. The only downside is that it's also half bar and there was a girl singing (coffeehouse style) so it was EXTREMELY loud in there and we couldn't hear each other talking at all. So I wouldn't recommend if you want a peaceful family restaurant style meal, beware! read more

This was a solid 6/10 experience. Nothing too crazy but a good place to eat at for a casual dinner date with friends or a significant other. The ambiance and service is pretty good and chill as well, I remember a manage at one point came to my table and greeted my friend and I just because. Very nice touch. The food was good, I wished for a little more seasoning and condiments for the burger, and seasoning for the fries, but it was all cooked very well nonetheless! The best part was definitely the chocolate cake. Don't know if it was made in-house or not but it was very moist and rich. Quality chocolate I'd say. Overall a nice experience! read more

The outdoor rooftop continues to be one of the main attractions of this place, even as my experiences with the food quality goes up and down. GLOWS: -The chocolate cake on the dessert menu was sooo very good. IMO some of the smoothest double chocolate cake! -The Kale salad is still good. I added chicken which made it more expensive than I care to pay for a salad--but still tasty. -Every time I come, I feel like the roasted potatoes have a different flavor. Never bad, just different and wondering about consistency. Its still a great alternative to french fries for me personally. GROWS: -The mussels were completely flavorless and had a very peculiar look to them. I couldn't stomach eating them, so I pushed them to the side. I probably should've sent them back but didn't -The service was very slow, even on a slow afternoon on the rooftop. It was hard to track down a server to get things cleared off the table and the bill settled. -The crab cake entree is getting smaller and the prices higher. I always take issue when a double crab cake platter is exactly double the price. Why would I pay double for 2 crab cakes and 2 sides when technically I can order 2 single meals and have 2 crab cakes and 4 sides? It's a marketing issue for me. read more

Food 4.5/5: Food is overall really good, the chicken Caesar is the reason I come back here every single time. The cheese is freshly grated, the chicken is juicy and filled with flavor and the lettuce is always fresh. The wings are solid only for happy hour, they were crispy and also flavorful, however the ranch could use some work. Everything that I've had on the menu thus far has been good. Note: I did get ceviche but it was absolutely tiny in portion size. Service 3/5: I have had experiences with good servers and servers that were lacking here. Overall, they are friendly but the last time I came here the server didn't check on us much, and our waters were empty, took a long time to get us our check etc; In addition, referring back to the ceviche, we let our server know the ceviche wasn't what we expected and asked if we could substitute it. While she agreed and kindly took it back, the manager later came and told us it was the normal serving size and took a look at it himself. I understand wanting to check on the concern, it just came off rudely. Also, they require you to have your ID every time you come, so keep that in mind. Ambiance 4/5: For the vibes it's going for, it's pretty nice. Music is really loud and it's not all that great, they also had performers who sang the times that I have went and it's nice touch. read more

I visited Watershed's rooftop with a few friends. This is my first time being there for happy hour and I was surprised with the good deal they had. I ordered the crush that was 32 ounces and only about $14 which was really good. I ordered two appetizers; the watershed wings with a Thai chili sauce, I believe it was, and I also had the crispy calamari, which is always my go to. The sauce on the wings was the perfect balance of spicy and sweet and they were fried well. The calamari had fried jalapeños mixed in which was a nice surprise. The rooftop is lively during the happy hour. There's usually a game playing, if one is going on, and a lot of socializing. So, if you're looking for a nice place in the city to just hang out with friends or meet new ones, definitely check out the rooftop happy hour at the Watershed. read more

Watershed has become a staple of the Federal Hill community. From lunch and happy hour to dinner and late night bites Watershed is the perfect place to meet up with friends, family or co-workers. Food and Drink: Happy Hour at Watershed is always a good time. Not only do you save $6 on a 32 oz. crush (4 flavors: Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, Lime.) but the shucked oysters, old bay honey watershed wings, and the steamed mussels will cheer up any bad day at the office. If you're still hungry, on the regular menu, I enjoy the calamari, it's light and flakey so you can still taste the squid. The crab cakes here are delicious, smaller then I like but when I slice into a crab cake and see large chunks of crab I'm happy. No fillers here. Drizzle the cake with some lemon juice and your troubles melt away. Fried or broiled you can't go wrong. Service: This staff at the bar are great! Even on busy game days they are always cool and collected as they take food orders and quickly make your drink. Come here enough and they'll remember your name. Ambiance: The only place you'll find me at The Watershed is at the rooftop bar. Don't get me wrong, the interior is fantastic but on a nice day you'll understand why you'll want to sit outside. If you're new in town this is a great bar where you can go alone and meet people. I've meet my realtor and have made some friends while watching a game or enjoying happy hour solo. On weekends the rooftop turns into a hot spot. They have live music on the rooftop and the main dining room. It really doesn't matter what time of day you show up, but I've always look forward to coming back on my way out the door. I met my realtor and made some new friends at Watershead's Happy Hour. I love coming here to watch sports, at the bar and the live music here is top notch. read more

This was my second time visiting Watershed and it does not disappoint. The roof top was packed so we sat in the dining area downstairs. Disclaimer, we had a terrible experience at a restaurant right before this so that was what led us here so by this time we were starving... We got seated right away, there were plenty of seats available downstairs. The server came probably anywhere between 5-7 minutes once we were seated to take our orders. All of us got soup, which came out under 5 minutes of ordering. The crab soup was good, nice big pieces of crab but it tasted a little watery for my personal liking. The food came not too long afterwards. My friend ordered the shrimp and loved it. She said it was flavorful and not overcooked and gummy. I ordered the oyster poboy and it was delicious. The remoulade sauce wasn't drenched over the sandwich and the bread was nicely toasted. Nice amount of oysters and great layering of the vegetables. I would say it was pretty close to the ones I have tasted in NOLA. Our other friends got salmon and a burger and they all raved how delicious it was. The service was good too! Our server in particular was attentive and got us served and checked out at a good pace. Definitely would come back. If you plan on catching a seat upstairs on a nice day, be sure to make a reservation or come early!! read more

I wish I took pictures of the food but I had the Buffalo chicken wings and I've never eaten wings so fast in my life they were so good!! Came here to watch the eagles ravens game and there were TVs everywhere so there was no fighting to watch it because I could go anywhere in the building to see it. The place is super high energy and I loved it! The servers were so great even with a large crowd they were very help and consistently kept checking in. I need try the place on a calmer night it's probably even better. read more

The couple we ended up sharing a table with had to flag her down and that's when we just said never mind on the drinks. Check please. I gave it a two cause I liked that it was more food places inside and I was able to grab ice cream . read more

Solid spot with a great rooftop. Definitely take advantage of the rooftop during the summer and sports seasons! They have great food and drinks to treat yourself to. My personal favorite is the Eastern Shore Cobb with no skimping on the crab, fried oysters, and the rest of the fixings. Also noteworthy is The "Shed" Burrito. Which in my opinion can cure any hangover and hits just the right spot with white cheddar. And you can never go wrong with a chicken caesar salad with lots of manchego cheese. Service was top tier... shoutout to Caroline at the rooftop bar (she's awesome!). A great spot to grab lunch and catch up with friends. read more

First, kudos to street parking being available! We arrived at 11am and was greeted nicely and promptly. Our server was sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered a pineapple mimosa and a Bellini. We did a shot as well and it was massive! For my entree, I had steak and eggs with potatoes. The steak was delicious and seasoned good.

Friday night at Watershed is a vibe!!! It definitely seemed like the restaurant to be at in the Federal Hill neighborhood (but I'm an out of town visitor so what do I know?!) Everything was delicious but the mussels were to die for!

Are you a fan of raw oysters like I am?? Well, I discovered Watershed and they took the top spot of restaurants in Baltimore with their amazing raw bar! While I do not recall the name of the oysters that I had, I will say that's I tried every oyster on their menu and enjoyed literally each and each one of those slimy creatures!! The oysters were so amazing, my husband and I visited Watershed two nights in a row! We also ordered the mussels, the Korean BBQ and Buffalo wings. All of the food was really good! The drinks are strong and affordable. In fact, the entire vibe of the restaurant was dope! They even have a heated seating area on their rooftop. While I didn't sit there, I can just imagine how beautiful a view of the city you'd experience. My entire experience to Watershed from the staff to the food was dope, but the oysters definitely won me over!!! read more
