Sip & Bite

8/10/25 - Outstanding customer service. We went on a Sunday and seating was plentiful. Just one waitress and two cooks. Women's Bathroom was clean, albeit not paper towels. Only booth seating which I loved. The booths were spacious and clean. I couldn't believe that this hole in the wall actually offer patrons sea salt & pepper grinders. Amazing! So appreciated. Over Easy Eggs, Turkey Sausage Links, Diced Potatoes, Rye Toast, Pulp Orange Juice - I was told that the meal was good. Blackened Chicken Caesar Wrap had a lot of grisle and white stones that crunched in my mouth like big pieces of sand. French Fries were awful. I was hoping for pancakes but I saw them served and they looked like round pieces of cardboard so I declined. Will I return nope.

The cutest neighbor dinner w/ great service and good eats. I’ve only ever been here breakfast , and the experience did not disappoint . The French toast was by far my favorite . It was made with love ! The eggs were okay along with the turkey sausage and bacon . I definitely would recommend . The place is small but lively with plenty of street parking available . I plan to comeback and try the Guy Fieri’s crab cake on the next visit.

Been going here since I moved to Baltimore in early 90s. Many after bar shift meals here I dont remember other than having a belly full of good diner food. Just went again the other day for 1st time in maybe 20 years....still great food. Get the Dutch pancake you can't go wrong with that or any of the breakfast items. They used to have a great cheesesteak but even though we went for lunch still opted for breakfast. Check out this Baltimore staple, The Sip & Bite keep up the great work!!

Great corner diner which Guy Fiere had visited and suggested some of the menu items such as the crab cakes. Crab cake is pretty good here. Eggs and crab cakes with home fries were pretty good. The home fries were crunchy with light salting and flavoring It was delicious. Service was very good with the one server serving the whole restaurant there are about 10 booths in this place. Not a large restaurant actually pretty small diner. The menu was pretty large. Food came out very quickly. This place is worth a try if you are in Fells Point Baltimore.

This was quite disappointing. We got the country fried steak with eggs and the Chesapeake Benedict with legendary crab cakes. The bad: The steak tasted off, like the meat was bad so I only had two bites. The home fries were a bit hard and seemed like they had been reheated from the previous day. The biscuit was just ok. The crab cakes were ok, not legendary. The good: The eggs were done perfectly and the sausage gravy was ok too. Overall experience was disappointing. Will not be coming back.

We arrived just after 4, they close at 5. The line cook audibly groaned when we walked in then glared at us the entire meal until he locked the door (with us inside) at 430 then proceeded to sweep up around us. Our waitress was very friendly but not especially attentive. We visited based off a Diners, Drive-ins & Dives episode for the crab cakes which were good but not worth the trip. In general, all food was fine but dry & simple. The meal was pricier than its worth also.

Service can't be beat...even the chefs were friendly! Comfortable seating. Food was great and it's the cutest place in Baltimore. You all need to eat here 😋

Arrived in Baltimore city for a family wedding weekend looking for a nice place to grab lunch near our Airbnb. Sip & Bite worked just perfect for us. Fareedah provided us with attentive service and a smile! The chef/cook behind the counter wanted to make sure my sister liked her burger or he was willing to cook her a new one. I had a fish sandwich which hit the spot… it included grilled onions, which were yummy. The onion rings were very light and delicious bite to bite! The place is really small, but if you get a table, you’ll get good hot food at a reasonable price.

This was hands-down the best crab cake we have had since moving to Baltimore, at a cheaper price than most seafood restaurants. Im as surprised as anyone, but there it is: The menu said it was Guy Fieri's favorite, and I'll bet it's true. The sweet tea was clearly freshly brewed, and the sausage sandwich on brioche was delightful, but the crab cake is what we will be back for.

Wow wow WOW is all I can say about Sip and Bite. Literally every time I come here, it's always so good, so full of flavor, and literally made with love. This will always be my favorite diner to go to. I've never had a single issue with this establishment. My service is always good, and it's so warming to get the same waitress every time. I forget her name at this moment, but I remember she has locs. She's so lovely and personable, I just know I'll be taken care of whenever I come. The establishment is admittedly a little on the smaller side, but it just adds to the charm in my opinion. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our food, especially the Stuffed French Toast. Oh good Lord it was not even overly sweet, everything like popped in my mouth, it was indescribably good in my opinion. Down to even the whipped cream. I can also understand why Guy Fiery loves and stands by the Crab Cakes here. The Cheseapeake Benedict was oh so amazing, flavorful, cooked to perfection. Some of the best crab cakes I've ever had. The cheese grits were also 10/10 most delicious and creamy. I've had Lavender lemonade before, and this one here was also very tasty. I can't wait to come back to try more!

Sip & Bite is a key historical establishment of the food scene in Baltimore. When you enter, you are receiving top notch customer service and that good, cozy Baltimorean hon love. Today I got the Hippe omelet and it was soooo delicious! I also got a side order of veggie sausage, it hit the spot well! I highly recommend anyone visiting Baltimore to visit this fine historical establishment

I'm in love!!! I'm back in Baltimore and had to make a pit stop to try Guy's Favorite Crab-cake at Sip & Bite. I enjoyed every bite so much I could've licked the plate. The Chesapeake Benedict was a thing of beauty. I had a hard time cutting into it because it was plated so beautifully. 2 poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce that sat on two crab cakes on an English muffin! Best crab cake I've ever had. Guy Fieri was on the money with this review and I thank him for the recommendation! The waitress was friendly and the food came out fast! I love the old school feel of the diner. The place was clean and all the plates that came out looked delicious. I'll be back!

I've had this place on my list of places to try for some time now and today gave me the chance to finally make it happen. I placed my order through Yelp and headed over. When I walked in, I really liked the old school vibe of the place. Feels like you went back in time. I was greeted by a nice guy who immediately asked if I was picking up an order. He grabbed the bag for me and I was on my way. I ordered the Cinna-Bomb Pancakes and The Mediterranean Omelette. Everything was delicious! Both had amazing flavor. I'll definitely be back to try some more things on the menu.

We had a great experience at sip and bite. The food was mind-blowing! we especially loved the corned beef hash, the cinnabomb pancakes and the fried chicken and French toast sandwich! The service was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

A quintessential diner experience. I especially love their breakfast bowls! Service is really friendly, fast. You can get a classic diner breakfast spread for around $10.

Cheap, yummy with great service! We go wherever we need comfort food! It is all made on site!

Food is about a 3 stars but my experience was about a 2. I did a simple to-go order. Store pickup. The place was empty when I arrived. Ordered the Sweet potato pancakes and other stuff. My order was incorrect but I live over a 1/2 hour away. I called and was told I'd get a return call and refund from the manager. After numerous attempts, I think it's safe to assume now that I won't be getting my money back. The food was ok. I've had sweet potato pancakes 2 other times and these were the best I've had. The rest of my order was inaccurate. Tasted decent. Just not what I ordered. Baltimore has a lot of quality breakfast spots so, I doubt I'll bother going out of my way to visit this place again given my experience, the prices and the lack of parking. I would like to thank Lynne, who answered my call the 2nd time and did put in the extra effort to relay the message to the manager. She even asked me to text her a pic of the receipt. Unfortunately, nobody else followed up with me. Oh well. Lesson learned.

Wow, What a great (quick) find for us. Saw Guy Fieri was here and loved the crab cakes so-here we ate. Forget Guy for now, that Lynne was the best waitress and host to us. The Balklava cheesecake was the bomb, as well as the crab cake. See you again real soon

Never had a bad experience at a diner and that remains true for Sip & Bite as well. This was my first there and I really liked how they had a large menu. Apparently, Guy Fieri's favorite crab cake is here. I tried the crab balls, and even though they were good, I've had better crab cakes/balls. I also wish the crab balls were a little less crispy. I really enjoyed to the cream of crab soup and the blueberry lemonade. Our waitress was also really nice and gave us recommendations and insights.

This was my first visit. The crab balls were outstanding but pricey. The menu was large. The sweet potato pancakes were good but were undercooked. The French toast topped with fruit and whipped cream was outstanding. The scrambled eggs were ok. The scrapple and bacon were good. The diner is small. The staff was caring, friendly, warm and welcoming.

The food was good. A very small place but was seated right away and the waitress was ok. The food was priced pretty good and they had a nice menu. The ambiance was chill and it was set up like a small diner. The waffles and pancakes taste amazing. I never had a grilled crab cake before. It was different but not bad.

I have done carryout before and it was great good. We went in on a Wednesday. The service was stellar. I'm sorry I don't remember her name but the server we had was a delightful person. She was so happy and attentive! Real Baltimore charm there! The food didn't disappoint either. We got Chesapeake eggs Benny and the eggs with spanakopita. All perfect! The hot sauce was on point too. The place was clean, quick, and a true diner feel. Give it a try you will not be disappointed!

Staff was phenomenal and food was TOO GOOD. I live in DC and we drive to this spot for breakfast as often as we can on the weekends. Drinks 10/10, food 10/10 the pancakes by themselves 100/10. Really cool spot

Our family stopped by Sip & Bite on Mother's Day for a quick breakfast on our way out of town. I agree with another review - it was a solid diner experience. Our service was a bit slow, especially because it was empty when we walked in, but it wasn't so slow that we became frustrated. Our server was very friendly, but seemed overwhelmed once a few other customers showed up. She also didn't seem confident in her menu knowledge when asked for opinions. Ultimately, we all ended up with something enjoyable. I had the crab cake breakfast experience- the crab cake was good, there wasn't a lot of filler, which is A+ in my book. My daughter had the dutch boy and it was also good - it's definitely an acquired taste, but we all enjoyed trying it. I'm not sure I would do it again, but that's purely based out of my personal preference. My husband had an omelet and he really enjoyed it - it was perfectly cooked. The sides of hashbrowns we all got were undercooked for our preference. If you like yours a little more done, I recommend requesting this. I'm not 100% sure we would go here again as out of towners. If we were locals we may as it's hard to mess up breakfast enough to keep us away.

A couple of friends and I dropped by for brunch, and it was a solid diner experience. I ordered the Hangover Helper (fried egg, bacon, avocado, and Sriracha over a bed of home fries), substituting the brioche for a biscuit even though it was smaller, and it hit the spot! The side of home fries were just okay, though. My friends seemed to enjoy their orders, too. Since there was no outside seating, we opted for a booth toward the back where there were fewer people seated. However, it started to fill up and soon enough, a table was seated right next to us. Fortunately we were almost finished with our meals so shortly thereafter we paid our bill and headed out. It's hard to forget about Covid-19, even as businesses are returning to business as usual.

The staff was awesome. It was clean. The food was good. The crab cake was nothing special even though it is their claim to fame.

Best Crab Cake in Maryland! Market price was $29.00 (3/13/22) but the absolute best item on the menu was All About the Benny's Chesapeake Style - Eggs Benedict with the famous crab cake covered with Hollandaise sauce on top of an English muffin!!!! This is a breakfast you won't forget!!! This restaurant was spotlighted on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. His face is on the windows and the menu.

I ordered breakfast on 07/17/23. Sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel: This was pretty good. The sausage patty was very thin, but good. The eggs (scrambled) were light and good, and the cheese was melty. I would rate this item 4-5 stars. Lox on an everything bagel: This was not as good. It came with lettuce, tomato, cream cheese, capers (and lox obviously). It was not a lot of lox, and the whole thing was kind of a mess. I'd give this item maybe 3 stars. Overall, this place was good, but there are better breakfasts around for same price or cheaper.

Place is immaculate. Great service and food. The coffee is excellent not bitter at all. Great omelettes. Overall great place!

This is a solid place for a diner experience. They have a nice menu with a lot of options. Their crabcake is excellent. Because of Covid, they were closed for dine-in for a long time but recently are back open for that. I usually go here for the breakfast menu and a coffee so I don't have much experience with the lunch and dinner menu, but the staff here is very nice and the food has been of consistent quality in my experience. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood location where you can sit down in a booth and have a mug of coffee put in front of you, this is the place.

Went to Sip & Bite early Saturday morning and had a short wait before being seated, which was a pleasant surprise with only 10 tables in the restaurant. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive, with a welcome sense of humor to go along with dealing with the weekend breakfast rush. My son and I ordered breakfast specials, the Baltimore and Oriole respectively, and neither of us could finish the reasonably-priced combos. My combo came with 2 eggs, sausage and a stack of pancakes, which I added fruit topping to theoretically make it somewhat healthy. The sunny side eggs were done just right, and the pancakes were both very flavorful and substantial, enhanced by the homemade whipped cream and fresh berries. The quickly refilled cups of coffee were also appreciated. We left happy and did not need another meal until dinner - I recommend Sip & Bite for a neighborly restaurant and a breakfast plate that will leave you happy and still with a money in your pockets to spend.

Stopped by after seeing it on DDD. I was traveling on business and stopped by. The crab cate balls were outstanding. Small friendly place. I will go back

Long review ahead! Baltimore has no shortage of great Greek food and as it's one of my favorite cuisines (probably because I'm Greek) I was very intrigued. And who doesn't love a diner? It has a great history and deep family roots. Guy Fieri going made little impact on our decision to come try it out but it's a cool gimmick they have going. I'm honestly shocked the reviews aren't higher. We came during a snow storm and the waitress was so attentive and accommodating. She immediately gave us napkins to wipe the snow off of our hair. We couldn't decide which soup to try and she brought us a taste of each. All were great but we went with the Maryland crab soup. The ingredients seem to have a higher quality than other diners I've been to. As tempted as I was to try the infamous crab cakes here which came recommended, I had to try a signature Greek dish (also recommended). I had the Spartan Platter and was seriously blown away. The chicken souvlaki was unbelievably juicy, tender and perfectly seasoned. The Greek salad was perfectly crisp and I loved the creamy feta. They used cherry tomatoes which I love so it was a cool alternative. The tzatziki was one of the best I've had anywhere and so was the pita. Pita can be pretty boring but this is just next level. It's highly addictive, you've been warned! My mom got the Santorini omelet and I tried it so can confirm it was good! The baklava cheesecake really surprised me because it was light and airy unlike the typical diner cheesecake offerings. It was really delicious and I'd get it again. Great portions and decent prices too! Giving the food 5 stars and rating it that way to boost them... but the CONS that I'd rate 3.5/4 stars is the length of seats in the booth are so short! Definitely like to have a deeper seat when I'm eating, especially being tall! Not to mention it also could be a bit cleaner... the menus were dirty reused paper placemat types which grossed me out. Overall could use a clean but it didn't deter me from eating everything and forgetting to take a single photo. I'll definitely be visiting and ordering from here in the future and trying all sorts of things! I hope my experiences continue to be as good as the first one.

I've been eating here for years and years. I'll be honest, before Guy showed up I had stopped going because of a bad drunken late night experience involving gravy fries. But after being featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives I slowly began to try it again. They deserve the accolades they are given. Like most diners, breakfast is the star of the menu. There are no bad choices. The Santorini omelet is a favorite and worth a try. Perfectly balanced. For lunch/dinner I would recommend the Spartan Platter. However be aware that for takeout the amount of food is a bit too much for the container and the Tzatziki will end up soaking either fries or pita. In fact the only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars is that despite asking multiple times, I cannot seem to get them to put the tzatziki in a side container. I have gone so far as to ask for an additional side order of tzatziki so we could have some that wasn't contaminated by the rest of the platter for my wife and I to share. Even though they have charged me for that on the last three orders they have failed to include it in the take-out bag each time. It's not a huge amount of money and not the end of the world, but pretty irritating that they can't seem to get the order correct even when the ticket on the bag has it listed. Otherwise most menu items are well prepared and tasty. Overall a wonderful place to visit if you're willing to dine in, but carefully check your order if you're going to do takeout. I would not recommend delivery for multiple reasons including those listed above.

Food here was really good. The crab bites were really the best I've had in Maryland. This will be staple spot whenever I'm in town again. The service was great and the business is family owned. You can taste the love and hard work put into making the food. The sausage gravy and biscuits were pretty good and so were the eggs. Can't wait to be back. Best crab in town!

Excellent food and customer service. We had the crab cake sandwich and the greek plater. Can't wait to come back.

I can see why this place is popular amongst locals and visitors. Not only was it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives but it's a historic establishment in the community. Sip & Bite is a popular option for the late night crowd who's been partying it up all night since they are open until 5AM. It was packed and I mean packed in there with a lot of people waiting to be seated due to the limited amount of tables available. Visiting MD and out on a Saturday night we were looking for somewhere to stuff our face late at night. After doing a little research this felt like our best option. This place was packed when we arrived with a line that led outside. When I told them it was just two of us, they said it would be a bit of a wait but due to my amazing observation skills I told them that there seemed to be a table available. And guess what??? IT WAS!!! So our wait wasn't long at all (really don't get how the hostess missed that). The menu is ridiculous (in a good way), as they have just about anything you'd want. The restaurant is small but has more of a hip diner style look and feel to it. The food was decent but didn't have my taste buds jumping. We ordered a turkey burger with bacon, fries, a beer and turkey sausage on the side and an omelet with fries. Our waitress was super nice and very attentive which made the experience much better. I feel like this place has a lot more to offer then what I experienced and I would definitely come back here at any time of the day to experience more on their menu. I realized that when we came that it was a bit chaotic and clearly this establishment is popular in the community.

The food is so good, its absolutely delicious and the portions are generous. The sweet potatoe pancakes were delightful, the eggs and bacon came out perfect too. The staff were very friendly too and I felt comfortable listening to the variety of songs while I waited. My only issue was that the service was pretty slow so we had to wait for a bit once seated. Mightve just been because of staffing shortage. Overall, I would definitely return!

Stopped at this spot at the advice of a receptionist at John Hopkins. Walked in the spot to see this was a suggestion from Guy Fieri. I knew I was in the right place. I chose where I wanted to sit at which is always cool to me. The waitress was just a dear heart from the beginning. The menu had this dish on there that I felt was meant just for me. The Eastern Store. Whew. I added a side of avocado cause I'm grown and that's my business. It was delicious. I felt the avocado took it up a notch. The crabcake was had very little filler which I can always appreciate. The bacon was thick and cooked hard just how I like it. I know it came with home fries but I added some onion rings cause again I'm grown and I do what I want. Sooo delish. Messed around and put two of the onion rings in the sandwich and it was OVER!!! Will definitely come back. Felt like a neighborhood go to. Very chill and inviting.

The crab cakes and service are the best. I am ver serious, don't come to Maryland without trying this spot.

This is a review for my visit 8/24. In my quest to find the best crabcakes in Baltimore we stopped at this spot I had seen on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network. We came at 4:30pm on a Saturday afternoon after my Yankees whipped the O's (sorry, not sorry) and walked into an empty place under construction. We thought they were closed but they said they weren't so we took a seat and seat. We ordered the Crabcake Platter along with another side so we could share the meal since we weren't terribly hungry. Well, the Greek salad we were given that came with the meal was almost enough to fill us up, super fresh and delicious. We got the crabcacke with coleslaw and an extra side of macaroni salad. Everything was really good and portion was really big. Service was beyond kind and they even gave us a complimentary vanilla shake (one of the best I've had) to end everything. While it wasn't my favorite cake to date, it was great and so was service.

Great food and service; online with convenient pickup options. Friendly waitresses and chefs.

The crab cake Benedict tasted delicious. The waitress was very friendly and attentive.

What a cute dinner style restaurant! I don't see these much in South Florida. Came here before catching my flight back home to enjoy some Baltimore must haves! The food here is bomb! I was finally able to get a good Maryland crab cake. It was soooo delicious! It was packed with crabs and seasoned to well. I also had a Philly with the cream of crab soup. Everything was so good! Let's talk about heaven!!! I have been dreaming about this place every since I left. The sever was very nice and friendly. She offered suggestions and had great conversation. This is definitely a must visit spot!

Food was amazing! Best crab cakes for sure. Food is huge! One crab cake is more than enough for even a very hearty eater (I made the mistake of ordering 2 of them and being sad I wasted one).

The food is good, but very unhealthy and kind of overpriced. The Guy Fieri crab cakes are especially unhealthy, but they are pretty good, coming from someone who doesn't like crab cakes. The spanakopitas are pretty epic in size and do taste as good as they look. The other mediterranean food items (i.e., chicken and lamb gyros) are among the best menu items. Their other comfort food items (mashed potatoes, soup, fries etc.) aren't really my thing, but everyone else seemed to like them.

I did not enjoy the food, it was cold & the waitress was not professional, he was arrogant and did not have a great personality. But the manager was accommodating in trying to get me a new plate with hot food.

The breakfast food was delicious! We all cleaned out plates not leaving a crumb. The French toast with berries was cooked perfectly so it wasn't soggy and had a small crisp to it. The berries were fresh and not soggy like they had been sitting around. It's a smaller place but tables turned over quickly because the servers were on top of things. Highly recommend for a delicious breakfast.

Cute exterior, small interior, big flavor! I thoroughly enjoyed their Greek food including Greek lemon and chicken soup, and spanakopita bites. My friend got the waffles and gave them a thumbs up review too. On top of the top-notch food, we got a lovely server who made great recommendations and checked in with us frequently.

Guy Fieri like it for the crab balls. I thought it had the best taste and texture Spanakopita I have ever had! Hands down. Hints of dill, three onions (green onion sweet onions and leeks) in Creamy, not dry, spinach filling. The fresh phyllo dough crust was light & crispy. I would have been happy with half of the two portions I received. along with a fresh Greek salad, fresh tomatoes and feta cheese, You certainly won't go away hungry. I also had a 20oz Jailbreak, Spank the Monkey Hefeweizen beer for $3.95. Sofias Spanakopita platter was $15.95. Considering we are two years into Covid the price is also a great deal. Great friendly service. Also I have to mention the place with spotlessly clean. What a pleasure. If you come here you're certain to enjoy yourself. Right next to Fells harbor.

The neighborhood diner is fast and reliable and always hits the spot for lazy brunch! Rite of passage to eat here if you live in Canton.

Came here for the first time this past spring with my wife and daughter and family. I heard about this place from Diners Drive Ins and Dives and I got their platter that had a crab cake and spanakopita and it was good. Our waitress we had was very nice. Definitely a small place to eat and getting to the restaurant at a good time was good so that way we would have a place to sit and eat. I would come here again im hoping to meet the owners sometime.

A Baltimore Classic!!! I have been going to the Sip and Bite for over 10 years and it never disappoints. I have tried so many things here and have never been disappointed. My all time favorite is the Zeus platter which comes with warm pita bread, gyro meat, Greek salad, tzaziki and fries (I always swap the fries for more salad because it's so good. You really can't go wrong with what you pick because it's all so good. It's a pretty tiny restaurant so be prepared to wait on the weekends around breakfast time. Parking is on the street but there's usually plenty. Good takeout, nice servers. Only complaint is I wish they'd go back to 24 hours!

I ordered thier Steak & Eggs.. Rare and Sunny Side Up.. Eggs were fine.. the Steak was old and so well done.. I wouldn't even serve it to my dog it was so bad. No thank you. Good Job.

Came here with a friend and got a bowl of the cream of crab soup, as well as the mini crab cakes. The soup was very good- flavorful and creamy with noticeable pieces of crab. The mini crab cakes were good too. They were fried on the outside but still very soft and mushy. A little too mushy of a texture for me and not that many solid pieces of crab. The menu also said they would come with 3 sauces (cocktail, tartar, and tzatziki), but they only gave me tartar and cocktail. When I asked the waitress about the tzatziki, she asked if I wanted that instead of tartar, so I said never mind and stuck with the two which was plenty anyway. The crab cakes on their own were bigger than I anticipated and pretty filling. Good deal for $18. Service was also good, quick, and a nice spot for kids. The staff was very accommodating to us and stepped in to help the crying baby in our group. I'd recommend checking them out, at least for the good service in addition to their diner menu.

An amazing brunch/ diner experience. Food was delicious, service was great. We ordered: Breakfast burrito - a pretty solid breakfast burrito with eggs, chorizo, and cheese Eastern shore- Crab cake with poached egg breakfast sandwich. It was delicious and I enjoyed it. Michael Phelps Olympic French toast- Nutella, whipped cream. Menu says it also comes with pralines but we didn't get any. Still delicious.

This was my first time ever trying crab cakes, and of course what better place to try than Baltimore? I came here based on the fact it was on Triple D on food network. Obvs I trust Guy's word for a good crab cake. First, I was a little confused. It's in a super cozy and cute diner... and the menu has Greek food. I thought I was gonna get all seafood options! But this didn't deter me. They have a crab cake platter for like $22 with two generous lumps of crab cake, soup (I ordered Maryland crab) and a choice of salad (I ordered a house salad). Each dish is a very generous portion and I was so full and surprised by the amount. Soup was great. Definitely crab soup. The crab wasn't shy, and I liked that. I never made it to the salad, because the crab cakes cake out before I even finished my soup. Crab cake was so perfect. I asked for it grilled, and it was so soft and creamy! My bf who has grown up eating crab cake said it was one of the bests (if not the best!) crab cakes he's ever had. Highly recommend this place solely based on the platter. I'd definitely come back to Baltimore for this place. It's near the inner harbor which is great for walking off all the food :)
