    Angus Burger with a side salad
    Mary K.

    Yum! We came here for a quick bite after house hunting in the area and I was starved! The food came out quickly and was delicious, I order the pimlico skillet and really loved the flavors of the pickled onions with the pork shoulder- I finished the whole thing! Service was quick and very friendly. The place itself is pretty cool- they have oils and produce and beer and wine for sale as well as having a kitchen and bar. Maybe if I move to the area it will become a staple of my dining!

    I haven't been to Chuck's trading post since pre-Covid and I've only been for brunch. This is a Hampden staple, and even the Hampden and neighbors forget that it exists. I recently heard about their burger special which is $15 for a drink can be an alcoholic drink (like a crush), and fries and a burger. For how shortstaffed they are, the staff is phenomenal provide excellent service and I was shocked to see how many people were getting to go orders for their burgers. You can get a choice of draft beers and they also have a cooler because they are a little bit like a grocery store so you can pick whatever beer you want out of a six pack. I am off on drinking so I decided to get a Coke product and my friend asked for a crush which he made and didn't charge for an additional fee. We decided to sit outside and someone was smoking so I'm not sure if they allow smoking on the patio but I didn't want to say anything since he seemed like he might work there? I also got three mosquito bites because it is damp and kind of musty in that outdoor patio area. Inside I didn't want to sit because it was too smoky so it's a little given intake because it is a tiny little space. It's really a 3.5 because the burger was lackluster. Next time, I have to try the Smashburger and also you can ask for all of the burgers with the smash patty so that's what I recommend you do because I've only heard good things about the Smashburger. Go for brunch and go on a Wednesday for the burger deal because in this economy you really can't beat $15.

    Service is super friendly and attentive Loved that. Food took a minute but they appear to stay busy so completely understandable. Food was pretty good. I wouldn't drive out of my way for it, but if you're in the area, it's worth checking out. Drink was well made although a little warm. Doesn't look like the juices are on ice. The ambiance is very much giving diner. The tables are far enough apart and the music is the perfect volume - you can actually have a conversation. This appears to also be a grocery where you can buy beer and wine, so that's a plus! Be prepared to walk a little. It's in a residential neighborhood and the street is tiny so be careful and I suggest parking near the top of the hill where there's a little more room.

    Fast service, even on July 4th. While my farmers skillet and grits were good, everything needed a touch more salt. The grits were very creamy (which I love). My partner ordered the Spaniard and Greek yogurt had zero complaints. We'll be back to try their lunch/dinner options.

    Love love love chucks. They just dropped their fall specials which feature spare rib grits. Everyone needs to try this like right now. We brought our dog and sat on the porch, drank coffee, and had amazing food and service. Chucks is a staple for a reason!

    I've visited this spot twice and enjoyed both experiences. The menu rotates with specials, so I can't recall everything I ordered the first time, but overall it's a solid breakfast and lunch destination. It can get busy on weekends, but the atmosphere is welcoming and the coffee is excellent. The food is consistently good, and the cornbread stands out as a memorable favorite.

    Pimlico Skillet-over medium eggs
    Dan A.

    A favorite coffee shop was closed on Tuesdays so we decided to keep walking on 36th to Chuck's. As others have written, this spot is off the beaten path. Arrived close to closing time so we ordered to-go. Rustic interior with mixed/outdoor seating and a home turned into a restaurant. A small refrigerated grocery section offering produce, milk, soft drinks and Beer. We ordered the Pimlico skillet-Confit mushrooms played nicely with the eggs and spinach, The Reuben-any time I see "house....." it's a good sign. House braised corned beef made for a tasty sandwich. The pancakes oh the pancakes-don't know and don't need to know what they put in the batter but these cakes stole the show. Homemade berry compote took it over the top but these cakes were fine alone- no syrup necessary-delicious. Service was friendly and engaged. They have weekly specials posted on their website. Hampden hidden gem is an understatement! We will be back!

    Chuck's Trading Post is such a hidden gem for breakfast. We had the Seoul Skillet, and it was absolutely packed with flavor and super satisfying. The vibe is cozy, fun, and totally transports you; you'd never guess you were in Baltimore. Perfect spot for a laid-back but memorable brunch. Note: get the cornbread, it's delish!

    I love this resteraunt! The breakfast sandwiches are absolutely to die for! Servers are friendly and attentive. I like the rustic ambiance as well- honestly such a hidden gem! My only complaint is when I went off Wednesday burger night- service was iffy and our burgers only came with a few fries which was disappointing. Besides that- I love this place!

    I ordered a to-go order online and went to pick it up in the store. The shop has a very rustic decor to it. Makes you feel like an old wester saloon. For my food, I'll start off with saying the sandwich had an amazing flavor --- until I noticed little micro fibers of some sort on my sandwich bread. I have been noticing restaurants are using a utensil or cloth of some sort on their grill that leaves a residue behind on food. There are little strings if you look closely at your bread. If it's on the bread, then it's probably on everything else that gets cooked on the grill and we just can't see it This cannot be safe or healthy. I plan on bringing it to their attention, as I got my order to go.

    Honestly, we walked in expecting the full menu, but it looks like Wednesdays are burger nights! And it was absolutely delicious. I had the smash burger and my girl had El Chapo - both absolutely hit the spot. Burger + fries + beer for $15, you really can't go wrong here.

    I love their burgers and beer selection! This is a cool little spot in hampden with street parking. They are usually only open for brunch but they have burger night one night a week They have burger and beer night on Wednesday and it's 15$ The service is great- they are efficient and the food is amazing. It's beautiful inside like a little rustic cottage vibe with a wall of wines. They also have a nice little porch with two tables.

    This place was highly recommended by friends when we were driving through Baltimore. Loved this place. Large variety of boozy lattes, good beer selection, great food and lovely outdoor front porch seating. Our server was friendly and make good recommendations, including the fresh fruit side. My dog, husband, and I would recommend.

    Popular local spot with large portions of very decadent food options…read more The place is first-come-first-serve (they do not take reservations), and you have to stand outside while you wait for a table (they don't write down phone numbers and there is no seating area). This said, I came here on a Saturday morning with my fiancé and the wait was only 10-15 min (which was worth it for the food) Have a few indoor tables, a small bar-counter, and 2 outdoor tables as well. We were seated at the outdoor tables even though we didn't specify that we wanted to sit outside. We decided to take this rather than wait longer for indoor tables (which also looked somewhat cramped). The sidewalk outside is kind of tilted though, and there are a bunch of people waiting for tables outside, so it is a bit of a strange vibe. This all being said, the service was incredibly fast. Our orders were taken right away, the food came out pretty quick, and we were brought our check (which is payable via phone) as soon as we finished eating. You can tell that they run a really tight ship/well executed operation. For food, this place is known for their "Captain Crunch French Toast" and "Sweet Baby Jesus" loaded tots, which have both been featured on the Food Network 3X, but the rest of their menu is also pretty fun and creative. My fiance and I each got an iced coffee, the French toast, and breakfast tacos and we really enjoyed everything. The portions we so big that we had to take the majority of the breakfast tacos home as well.

    My friend suggested going here. When we arrived they said it was a 45 minute wait but they got us…read moreseated in about 25 minutes. They were turning tables over pretty quick. It is a very small restaurant but it works. I will be honest everything that I saw come out looked amazing. I order a chorizo with ham, pineapple, jalapeño and cheese quesadilla. Hear me out when I say it was delicious. The sweet balanced that heat. If you not a heat lover, please don't order. The hash was perfectly crispy on the outside but perfect baked potato vibe in the middle. Two snaps for that . I ordered the cinnamon crunch French toast as well and it was very good but not crispy enough for me. I like mine very crispy. It was good but would have been great cooked a little longer. (Personal preference tho). The server was very nice and made great recommendations for my friend's food. I would definitely visit here again.
