This is the kind of place we love to find when we travel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was great, with generous portions. Had chicken & waffles--awesome; chicken flavorful, moist, cooked perfectly. Highly recommended!! Thanks to Kendra (on Sunday) and Candice (today) for their wonderful service. read more

Hubby and I stumbled upon this place while walking to the inner harbour and we were glad we did. It served a good solid country style breakfast! The servers were super friendly, efficient, and attentive. I would say the food is amazing but it's definitely good. The restaurant definitely has a true diner feel- nothing fancy but clean and a pretty typical "mom and pop" sort of place. Because we were just looking for someone fairly quick, inexpensive but still good and a "Baltimore-y" type of experience, this fit the bill perfectly! p.s. Hubby was pretty sure they put Old Bay in his biscuits and gravy! haha it doesn't get much more Baltimor-y than that! read more

Very friendly staff. Good breakfast at 2pm. Hot coffee. I had the skillet with potato base, mushrooms, onions and green peppers $12. Sausage as the meat with over easy eggs on top. Really good. If you want breakfast in the middle of the day, this is your place! read more

This is by far the best kept gem of Baltimore breakfast. The food tastes awesome and our server, Tokera, was amazing, so I really hope you can find this place!!! read more

I would revisit this place. Friendly and eager to please staff served great breakfast fare. I had the smoked chicken benedict which was very tasty. The potatoes and crispy bacon were a big hit all around as well as the french toast and waffle selections. There is also a lunch menu served later. I wish they would serve lunch earlier but there was plenty on the morning menu to choose. Quirky and fun interior added to the ambiance. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. Customer service was phenomenal, very friendly. Now the food- met behind our expectations! I saw the reviews were great but the moment they served us my mouth was watering! It looked good, tastes good. I can't wait to go back there when I'm in town again! Thank you! read more

Amazing! Food was delicious, service was even better! Our wait was actually 20 minutes less than what the seater had estimated. The seating area was small, but the food definitely makes up for the wait is, and it bangs! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for breakfast/brunch in the inner harbor area. read more

I'm new to the city and a colleague took me to lunch here since it's a local institution. It was nicely tucked away from the tourists, and had the feel and excellent service of a classic diner/family restaurant. I strayed from my usual lunchtime selections and ordered the Italian panini. It was delicious! read more

Our hotel concierge recommended that we try this spot for breakfast before we go to the national aquarium. It was a nice walk to the cafe which is on a beautiful street in the inner harbor. We were greeted then seated right away. We all ordered different dishes and they were all AMAZING. I also have to shout out Kris who took care of us. I'd give her 10 stars if I could! If you are in the area and need breakfast, this is the spot. read more

Excellent food and service! The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The Alabama Grits was very tasty!!! I love when I don't have to add anything additional to my food to give it flavor. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Baltimore area. Definitely going back when I'm in town again. read more

I'm sure the food was going to be good, but the service was so bad we wouldn't know. We were seated for 15 min before anyone acknowledged us or offered water. Then when we ordered, no coffee or drinks were ever brought. They were busy, so we gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited. During this time other people were seated and brought their drinks immediately. After 15 min, we walked up to our server to see if we could get the coffee and juice we ordered. We asked our server first, then he disappeared and never came back. After a few minutes we asked another server for coffee. After 40 min, and no one ever coming back to bring other initial drinks we ordered, we gave up and left. Don't waste your time like we did. read more

The eggs and grits were perfect! Our waitress Ghee was the best! This is a must visit!

Good local spot. Employees were friendly. Recommend going early. We waited about 30 min. Asked for over easy eggs. They were over cooked.

BossLady G provided an amazing experience with just her energy, the breakfast was just the cherry on top!! Highly recommend! it's made with love and lots of flavor!!! read more

This is the definition of a hole in the wall! This place has some of the best breakfast food I have ever had in my life. 10/10 Recommend this place! read more

My friend and I did a google search for breakfast places near the Inner Harbor and Saturday Morning Cafe was rated well/recommended. We arrived, were greeted by a very friendly employee, Ghia, and were seated at the counter on the main floor. We were assisted by another friendly employee, Ashley, and ordered - I had the Build Your Own Omlette and my friend had the Chicken and Egg Benedict. Both dishes were excellent and we enjoyed the meal thoroughly! I absolutely recommend the place for the food AND the ambiance- Ghia's and Ashley's service was outstanding!!! read more

So I was disappointed. They most definitely have the love here and our server, Chris was great. She was very attentive and even offered us to go cups for our coffee at the end of our meal. Their signature coffee was piping hot-which is awesome but it was weak. The crab n my Omelette was kindof dumped on one side so I only tasted it at the end of my meal. My 2 dining mates who ordered the signature Seafood Benedict indicated that their poached eggs had runny egg whites (the crab cakes were however, amazing) and the English muffins were unfortunately under toasted so could not support the hollandaise sauce. So where it's a super cute place and the service is great-we feel the kitchen needs to get it together. I was really hoping to be able to give this place a rave review. It's n a very cool spot sandwiched n a little French style cobblestone alleyway...this place definitely has great potential. read more

Checked this place out due to reviews. I ordered the skillet, which was pretty good but fairly small for what you pay for it! The service was alright, as myself and others were brought both the wrong food and beverages a few times. The place was busy with people at the door and it was understaffed, and the wait was long. read more

Sat outside because we have a family of six and it didn't look like any of the tables were big enough. The table outside was extremely wobbly, enough to have the waters spill with the lightest of touch. Had to ask for napkins, sugar for coffee, things you'd expect to be brought to you without having to ask. A worker, unsure if they worked for SMC, was smoking while cleaning the trash. I ordered the Baltimore Benedict, which has the tiniest of a crab cake on it. The hollandaise sauce was watery and had little flavor. The other food was decent. The bill had gratuity included (18%) which is fine I suppose, but I always appreciate if a waiter says something. I always assume that they are hoping customers don't notice and give an additional tip. I'm not sure how this place has four stars, but based on my one time experience here, I can't recommend this place. read more

Found this hidden gem on Water Street, visited twice during our stay in Baltimore. Build your own waffle with Turkey bacon on 1st visit and Berry Berry Oatmeal the 2nd visit and both were yummy. Owner very nice and genuine. Will go back again on our next visit to Baltimore - Jo and Rob, Emmaus, PA read more

Absolutely love this place! My husband and I are from Houston and found this little gem on a trip. We came in for breakfast and my husband had the red velvet waffle special. I had steak and eggs (which is my regular favorite). We loved the atmosphere, food, and especially the staff! We came back again before leaving town and we had the red velvet waffles again, and I got the chocolate pancakes special. :) everything was so good!!! read more

This is a little hole in the wall family owned business. You walk in and first you notice it is a little small and intimate. Also very clean. The reason I know it is a family business is because... it seemed like the whole entire family was there. I mean not working either...just sitting in there. And the place is small to begin with. I felt like I was an outsider for a moment lol. Anyways.... the service was GREAT! I came here with a restaurant.com coupon. The guy that waited on us was very attentive and personable. he was nice even after I told him a had the discount coupon, which is VERY important to me. I got the omelet and my guest had the steak and eggs. My omelet came out fast, it was delicious... and had a "homemade" taste to it. My guest said the steak and eggs were "OK"... nothing to rant about. But I can say that the whole menu was moderately priced including the steak and eggs (which is always big points in my book). So for $12.99 the steak was quite tasty in my opinion :) I do subtract a star because it was VEEEERY apparent that the other staff (not our server) was "ready to go" as we had come in close to their closing time which in believe is 4pm. If coming at 2:30pm is "close to closing time"... I mean .... idk I'm definitely coming back here! The people are really nice :) read more

Had breakfast at Saturday Morning today while in Baltimore for work. Service was quick, everyone was professional yet working to create a relaxed comfortable environment for all the guests. Coffee was great, which is wonderful since I HATE when places skimp on coffee! Shrimp and grits were perfect. I eat grits all the time, and consider myself a bit of an expert since I'm regularly called upon to teach others how to make them. The entire dish was balanced and tasty! Love the food, love the atmosphere! read more

Great ambiance, food and service. 5-Stars would have been a shoe-in if they had BEEF BACON;). We will be back on our next visit to Baltimore. We had Belgium waffles, french toast, home fries, turkey bacon , and eggs. I even tried the fruit infused water, which had good flavor. The chef came out to advise the wonders she could do with the waffle flavors next time! Best of all, $60 bucks fed a family of four. read more

I came here with some friends hoping to get a great brunch and what we received was not too bad. I wouldn't go out of the way to come back here again, but the food was your average breakfast selection. Granted I am a brunch fanatic so my standards for these kinds of places are a lot higher than other meals. I went with my go-to eggs benedict and what I got was again, just average. I ended up not finishing it since a lot of the plating was potatoes that were somewhat undercooked. Service was also not the greatest. We appeared to have 3 waitresses? 2 were the main ones with one being far nicer than the other, and then after waiting 15 minutes to try and pay the bill we had to ask a 3rd to finally help us. This cafe was sub-par at best. read more

My family and I ate at Saturday Morning Cafe for the first time today and immensely enjoyed the food and exceptional customer service. My husband raved about the shrimp and grits and I devoured the SMC breakfast special before my husband had a chance to ask for some. Yes, it was that good!!! The pancakes were light but flavorful! Our server, Kristen, along with her coworkers, Shane and Candace, enhanced our dining experience by offering us water, coffee and meaningful conversation. Our family will return soon because you can't beat eating tasty food, in an intimate setting, while surrounded by good people at a reasonable cost! read more

I am VERY disappointed. I was excited to try this place with such great reviews only .3 miles from our hotel, so I walked here to get breakfast for my husband and I on a Monday morning. Service: the service behind the counter was AWFUL. The woman (Chris) was rude to customers, making them sit at the counter instead of at a table until the counter filled up, and then letting the next customers sit at the exact table she just moved two people from 5 min earlier. A different waitress (whose name I didn't catch, unfortunately, as she was the only good thing about the place) took my order because the counter was taking too long, and then the woman behind the counter seemed annoyed when I wanted to add a donut to the to-go order. She poured the to-go coffee right away so it was cold by the time I got my food, and she brought out my food and then still took another 5 min to ring me up, so the food was cold too by the time I got back to the hotel. Food: I'm a vegetarian, and so I ordered the Alabama Grits and asked for mushrooms instead of bacon (which I saw the waitress write on the ticket and she verbally told the woman behind the counter about the change). I saw her check the boxes as she packaged them up (so I didn't check before I left, which was my fault), so I assumed it was right. Sure enough, when I FINALLY get back to the hotel - bacon. At least it was strips so I could pick it off, but no mushrooms. And the grits were just a giant mess of disgusting egg, chopped tomato and congealed cheese. I couldn't even eat it. My husband's bacon egg and cheese on a croissant was edible he said. The coffee was weak and watery. Overall, I would definitely steer people away from this spot. And if you do go, eat there and make sure your server isn't Chris. read more

Werner's - Alabama grits, to go. Awful. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Tourists pay attention!!!!!! This place is worth the walk of getting out of your hotel and taking a morning stroll for breakfast. Sat at the counter and the special of the morning was seafood eggs Benedict. Delicious savory flavor of the shrimp, the real crab cake and the home made hollandaise sauce was a tasty meal. It beats hotel food any day! It's right off of this little random cobblestone street that has a lot of charm and character. As a street in this touristy neighborhood it was a refreshing setting to come across. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast at this little gem and it was a perfect choice. We sat at the counter and had the most fantastic waitress in Gia. She was welcoming, friendly, and really knew the menu. The red velvet waffle was incredible and my husband's skillet breakfast was tasty and filling. And it was easy on the wallet. Had it not been so warm we would have take advantage of the cute courtyard seating. read more

Updated review: My husband and I came back here for brunch on this Sunday and were sorely disappointed in our service. We arrived at 10:40 and were told it would be a thirty to forty-five minute wait (after the hostess was alerted to our presence; she was lounging against the bar with her back to us and we didn't even realize she was the hostess). We were finally seated at 11:10, after the woman behind the bar basically took over the hostess' job -- there were seats at the bar that were unfilled, but at which she seemed loath to put anyone, even after two parties asked. We sat outside at a table that had been empty since we arrived. Our waitress, Lydia, seemed to be doing the most she could, and was attentive to drink refills and ordering. However, we sat without food until after 12:05, when my husband went inside to inquire about where our food might be, and we were about to just leave. We were told it was up next, and finally got our food around 12:20. It was definitely good: apple pecan French toast (had bits of dried apple on it, and I'm assuming pecan syrup? Because there were no pecans), and a breakfast platter with pancakes (fluffy and tasty). However, basically nothing is worth a nearly two-hour wait. If you come here on a weekend, Be Warned. It'll be your entire day. Original 5- star review: I came here for a quick but filling breakfast this morning before setting out to walk to the Walters Museum. My waitress, Kris, was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. She pointed out the items she would recommend on the menu, which I appreciated, even though I didn't take her advice! The biscuits and gravy were wonderful. read more
