The Grateful Fed

Stumbled upon this neighborhood gem during an afternoon walk. We checked out the menu and fell in love with the vibes and the tremendous menu options. We've since been back twice in the same week to enjoy a diverse menu that is honestly impressive! A true local watering hole with a phenomenal food selection that punches way above expectations—think hearty comfort dishes, creative specials, and something for everyone. It’s a food lover’s hidden gem. Crab Deviled Eggs, Chicken Taquitos, BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp, The ‘I’m Walkin’ Here’ Ciabatta, and the Short Rib 'Grateful Melt'are just a taste of the menu’s creativity. Every plate leaves you satisfied but still curious, the kind of cooking that keeps your fork ready before the next dish even hits the table. It’s that perfect blend of comfort and surprise that makes you think, I can’t wait to try what’s next.

A must visit for any Deadhead in Baltimore looking for a very good meal and great drinks. Super fun vibe in this tiny place, hope to definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Amazing neighborhood place! The food is good, the vibe is good, and the drinks are good. Having been to the sister location a few blocks north (SoBo Cafe), I definitely prefer this location. The food and drinks are great at both, but this one has a substantially better chill and happy environment. The former is much more of a date/business meeting vibe. Highly recommend you stop by and give it a try!

Wow is all I have to say. Walked in looking for a place for lunch and I found it. I met the owner and he was great to talk to. I ordered the chicken and wild rice soup, and the shrimp wrap and OMG I was amazed at the quality and the taste of the food. If I am in the neighborhood I will definitely stop back in!!

Can't believe it took us this long to pick up sandwiches from here! They are amazing - the chicken sandwich was especially great. We got a to-go order, but we'll eat in next time. Really liked the atmosphere of this place and everyone was super friendly.

One of my favorite happy hour spots. Ask for the Future Ball...it's like a Manhattan and an Old Fashion. Food is spot on, listening to Dead and Dead-like bands while watching sports on the screens makes this an excellent hangout.

I am so bummed I haven't visited SoBo Market sooner! It stands out from other Americans bar/grills with thoughtful cocktails and food that is well seasoned AND balanced - a RARE find! We ordered the Jungle Bird, Georgian Boulevardier, short rib melt, "sausage" parm sub, pierogies, and finished with an ice cream sandwich. The cocktails were both tasty, though the Boulevardier was on the sweeter side. I just let the ice melt and sipped it slowly. Beer selection is also really nice with $6 pours on certain drafts. 💁‍♀️ Both sandwiches were fantastic! I was worried that they would be too skimpy on filling based on other reviews, but I thought the amount provided was PERFECT. Anything further would have been too much for the strong flavours they had going. The short rib + picked onions absolutely popped! 💥 Veg sausage with marinara and mozz was an interesting riff that we also loved. Even the bread on both sandwiches was top notch. 👌😍 The pierogies were tasty, but had a little bit of a stale crunch. Not sure if they sat in a window for too long or what. Good if you're craving them, but I'm not sure if they rocked my socks as much as the sandwiches. 🤔 We weren't hungry anymore, but got the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich to finish. It was huge, so my husband and I split it. The ice cream had great texture and wasn't grainy or crystalized at all like you sometimes find with house-made stuff. All-in-all, SoBo Market is an absolute gem that is going on our short list of reliable places that can serve up well-seasoned, balanced food. Whenever we have a bad meal, now we can swing by here to palate cleanse. 😆👍 Edit: Subsequent visits have slapped just as hard as the first time. 👏😭 I love this place so much.

Great addition to the neighborhood! We came for the happy hour and stayed for the comfortable atmosphere and friendly service. The menu isn't the biggest, but the quality was on point. Be sure to ask about the drink specials...I'd highly recommend the $5 HH Old Fashioned and the "Future Ball" (image shown) if you enjoy bourbon. Tristian was our server and took great care of us.
