"Blacksauce Kitchen is known for its biscuits, but the partly mobile kitchen (found at farmers markets and at its 29th Street storefront) dishes items like braised lamb shoulder, crispy eggplant, or oxtail offered on buoyant breads. The market menu can vary from the storefront, so check before going." - Jess Mayhugh, Eater Staff

"The story of Blacksauce is a pretty typical one here in Baltimore: they started as a vendor at the farmers market, people consistently lined up, and they finally opened a brick-and-mortar location. In Blacksauce’s case, they settled in Remington and still make their weekly market appearances under I-83. The storefront has extremely limited hours, so Saturday breakfast is the ideal time to go and try their handmade biscuit sandwiches, with a melty goodness that will power you through the day. The menu changes slightly throughout the year, but the brisket on a gruyere biscuit is a classic, along with plenty of options for vegetarians. Grab your sandwich to go and then take a stroll to the nearby Greedy Reads bookstore, buy some vintage at Get Shredded, and enable your houseplant addiction at B.Willow." - Michele Berry

I did an online order for a rotisserie chicken apricot biscuit and it was delicious! My order was ready right on time for the time that I scheduled to pick it up. It was also a nice portion size, which I loved. The peach jam on the biscuit really made all the flavors standout!

Let's get into it!!!!! Ooooo weeeee!!! Blacksauce Kitchen is the truth. The menu changes daily so let's get into Thursdays (Aug 17th) menu choices. We ordered 1 of everything left on the menu: Oxtail biscuit, doubles, mac, cabbage, cobbler, fritters, sorrel and limeade. We stayed inside the restaurant to make sure we tasted everything fresh and hot. They have one table and a bar top with stools for dining in. 10/10 my favorite was the cabbage. Perfect seasoning, heat, cook - no complaints whatsoever. I could eat a pot full. 9/10 my second favorite was the oxtail biscuit. The picture below speaks for itself. Ghr biscuit was PERFECTION!! I could've used some kind of sauce or wetness on the oxtail. The fried onions were on point. 8.5/10 the fritters were great. The each chow chow gave it that extra edge. Because it was served in a recyclable container all the chose chow juices were absorbed in the container. J think it should be served in plastic. Or foil placed in the container. 7/10 the Mac was good. 8/10 Sorrel was great. We actually created a half and half of sorrel and limeade and that was fire 10/10. The doubles were good but could've been cooked longer. The only thing we weren't fans of was the smoked cobbler. Wag too much smoke for my taste. The smokey flavor overwhelmed the cobbler. Most definitely going back to hit another menu soon!!

The food here is AMAZING. Blacksauce is essentially a carryout but the food still has that home-cooked vibe. The small shop is only open on Thursdays so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The woman inside who took our order was very patient and informative when we asked questions about the menu. As for the food itself: I ordered a beef short rib sandwich with a side of smoked corn fritters and a blueberry limeade. The beef was so tender juicy. The corn fritters were a new flavor for me that I enjoyed; they had a nice texture too. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Almost seemed like they were fried but either way they were delicious. And the blueberry limeade was so refreshing on the hot day I went. I definitely need to hit this place at least twice a month.

Extremely clean place with great customer service. All of the staff wore masks and gloves and changed them appropriately. I was greeted when I walked in. They were professional. These are all things you can't say about a lot of establishments during these times. If you like smoked meats then this is the place for you. I ordered the maple mustard barbecue wings. The sauce was good, my only complaint is that it was barely on the wings. I didn't taste it until I saw some of it in the container. I also ordered a strawberry limeade, coconut milk braised collards, and sweet potato pound cake. Disclaimer needed for the greens. They were too spicy for me to finish. They were covered in seeds, I'm assuming that is where the spice came from. The meat was def my fav. Everything else was okay.

Had their food at the waverly market. They charged me 10$ for a mushroom and grits that was literally like five bites. This tiny container was half full. Waited 20 minutes and got so little food it’s ridiculous. Wish I took a pic when it was full. No one but a child could get even remotely close to full on this. A big rip off, would not go again and would recommend people avoid the waverly market stand for this place.

Do you ever find yourself wondering if you should walk out or keep hoping your food arrives at some point? . It took over an hour for a preordered pickup. They apologized to the 2 Men in front of me for their wait--but not to me. Sexism much? Nah, I guess I should have just sucked it up and smiled more.. It's not like my wait mattered. I'm just a woman. Oh and 2 of the items I had ordered were not available. But I could "come back another day for them or order something else," No refunds available. As long as I remained polite, friendly, and understanding eventually I would be rewarded with some under cooked cold food and some overcooked tasteless pizza. MMmm cold taters and limp pizza thrown in a box. I'm bummed I had this experience. I've heard so many good things about this place.

Had the egg and cheese with fig jam on a gruyere biscuit, and it was life-changing. Perfectly tender, flaky biscuit with a flawlessly cooked egg that paired amazingly with the fig jam. Person at the counter was very sweet and offered a recommendation when I asked whether the sandwich would be better with a plain buttermilk biscuit or the gruyere. Also loved the atmosphere; I only hung out for a minute while I waited for my order, but everyone working there seemed to genuinely like each other, and it made for a very pleasant wait.

Absolutely, love this place only open on Thursdays but definitely worth it. The flavors of every dish are simply to die for. I had the Korean Fried Chicken, Smoked Green Beans and Corn Salad. Each bite just made me want to rush for the next bite and yet savor it to make the experience last longer. Make sure you go by the JFX farmers market to have their biscuits because it's the best way to start a week.
