I'd go 10 stars if I could. Food and service was amazing and the atmosphere is absolutely perfect for a pit beef joint (that also serves a ton of other food btw). Reggae playing and plenty of seats. Don't worry if you forgot to add something to your meal because the staff will get you taken care of. I work in the area and already told my crew they have to come check it out. Amazing place. Clean, relaxed, good food and good people 10/10. Oh and get the fries... read more

Authentic pit beef sandwich. Very tasty. Most take out but there are plenty of seats/tables inside. Ambiance is casual, not quite divey. Menu is fairly large. In addition to the pit beef sandwich our group got the pit beef cheesesteak. I would definitely get that next time! A lot of different sauces are available to spice up your beef. Staff was friendly and helpful with ordering for us first timers. read more

We love Cruiser's pit beef. They have a large selection of sandwiches and BBQ foods as well as many premade choices to satisfy any craving. We Loaded with tender, perfectly cooked beef sandwiches with whatever fixings you want: BBQ sauce, horseradish and onions (hubby) or mayo, horseradish and raw Jones (me). We always get their huge order of fries with gravy, which makes an amazing meal for two. There is so much meat on the sandwiches that I usually take 1/2 of the beef off of my sandwich to enjoy the next day. They have loads of condiments to choose from and since it is self-serve, you can fix it up exactly how you like it. A trip there doesn't come cheap, however. The two sandwiches with the fries with gravy usually comes to close to $30 BUT it is so worth it! The staff are super friendly and they quickly move ppl through. It's not a fancy place but that's OK! It has a typical look of a pit beef place and that's just fine with us. read more

It had to be done. I had to know how Cruiser's compares to Chaps. Jeremy and I were over at Tradepoint Atlantic, checking out the wreckage of the bridge, and decided to get a little snack before we headed to the park. Friends had just visited Cruiser's the week before, and had warned us not to get the hamburger, so we ordered a pit beef sandwich to share. Jeremy got it topped with raw onions and barbecue sauce. He brought me a small container of horseradish. It was fine. A bit dry. Since it was sauced before the employee wrapped it, Jeremy didn't think to bring me a container of sauce, too. The horseradish is fantastic, though. Makes your brain feel like you've been electrocuted - which is exactly how I like it. We prefer Chaps, but not the location in Glen Burnie. You need to go to the original location to get the top-notch sandwich. Personally, I think getting the Cruiser's sandwich cooked medium was the issue. I've had better pit beef sandwiches at carnivals. So if you like your sandwich more on the pink side, don't order medium. Jeremy ate the majority of the sandwich, and enjoyed it. I'm sorry. I just can't work up any enthusiasm about it. read more

My favorite pit beef! The beef is so juicy and tastes so good. Great fries too. I usually have most of my fries gone before I get home! My roommate and I will split a sandwich because they are so big. Either that or if we each get a sandwich and we save half for the next day! The staff are always very cheerful and helpful! I live in Dundalk and the trip is so worth it! Not just pit meats either! They have a very extensive menu! Cruiser's!! read more

The food is excellent! It is just a walk away. The workers are very friendly. The e-menu is easy to maneuver .

We checked this spot out after a hike nearby and it was a great find ! We got their 2 meat sandwich, a hotdog, burger, cream of crab soup & fries! The sandwich and hot dog were so delicious! Very tender and flavorful!! The burger was done too well for our liking and ended up being super dry. In the midst of ordering so much food for 2 ppl we realized afterwards the cashier never asked how we wanted to burger cooked. Oh well! The fries were delicious too but what fries aren't ? I also took a quick step back to childhood as they had Linden cookies so snagged one of those as well! read more

I think about this place way too often I think it's the best pit spot in Baltimore. It's kind of a hidden location , it's easy to drive right past it and not know it was there A little pricey but all good pit beef is the staff is so nice and all of the food taste really fresh The inside is clean and welcoming , Go support them! read more

Great spot for lunch after hiking at North Point State Park. The meats were good, we tried the pit beef and put ham. I love pit ham. The house made sauces were delicious, I forget the name of their main house sauce but it was really tasty! Only complaint is the Kaiser roll was a bit dry and fell apart while eating, I wish it was on a potato roll instead. Fries were delicious! They have a lot of options on the menu, good looking deserts and tons of chips and miscellaneous items to purchase at the counter. For instance we got a container of local honey for a really good price! The food did take a while, so don't be in a rush to get in and out here! There were a few people ahead of us, but it seemed like everyone was waiting a while for their orders. Lots of room to sit and eat. read more

Oh so good, actually beyond good! The rare roast beef was really rare on a fresh roll. Husband had the pit ham and was equally good. All meats were very tender. Service was fast and accurate. Condiments are free. They also do a slamming carry out business. We'll be back. read more

It's a hidden gem! A whole in the wall with tons of charm and flavor! Its as simple at that 10/10

Horrible!! This place is so classless! The employees are very rude and vulgar, I've went in there and seen them all just standing around and talking about "how much they hate customers". My fiancé has also been in there hearing them talk horribly about each other! The place always stinks and the place is always so dirty! The food is alright, not much to complain about other than the fact they ALWAYS forget the sauces! I'll never come back- maybe the employees and the owner can do a better job at keeping their mouths shut! Never come here if you care about where your money goes!!! read more

Never had a bad experience with Cruiser's. Ever since we discovered it - we try to eat here as much as we can! The pit turkey and pit ham are my absolute favorite with a side of gravy fries. DROOL. Don't miss out on their homemade cheesecakes either. They're delicious. read more

Food great service is quick! Lots of sauces for sandwiches available for def should check this place out

i love the food the employees are kind the owners are kind food gets done quick unless its a busy day

BEST PIT HAM & GREEN BEANS AROUND!! This family owned business has always provided me with excellent customer service since they have opened. I will continue to support this business due to the amazing food and customer service!! read more

Hole in the wall up beef spot. If you're looking for really good pit beef and other bbq options and aren't in a position to have Chaps, Cruiser's is the place for it. Plan to smell like smoke when you leave because the inside can get pretty smoky, it's all part of the experience though. read more

Best cheesesteak in town. Real meat and it has w smokey taste to it. Delivery was fast and the homemade fries was good also

Just got done eating half a rack, words can not describe how amazing they were! Would highly recommend!

A friend told me to try it out we weren't disappointed with the sandwiches we got everything was on point

This place is GOOD! It's great pit beef for sure! I love pit beef and order it anytime I see it. So, I'll say I'm disappointed most of the time. Not here though. Juicy, and good flavor. Even the fries were awesome. Great prices too. read more

The food is always great and the employees are friendly and efficient. I usually get the BBQ and string beans, but I've gotten the pit beef and macaroni & cheese multiple times and have been given generous portions each time. read more

On the plus side the help is friendly and helpful. And The portions are large. The downside, I didn't think the flavor was exceptional. We ordered a pit beef- med rare. There might have been two pieces of beef that had any red showing. The corned beef was a disaster. Sliced too thick and rubbery. Biggest complaint was the amount of gristle. Not fat. Fat gives flavor and texture. Gristle is the stuff you can't chew. Honestly, one quarter of the sandwich was tossed in the trash. read more

This nice place serves the best pit beef on the planet. Plus their special bbq sauces are well, perfect. Add a bit of tiger sauce, onions, pickles and you have the greatest sandwich available anywhere. Get with gravy fries and fried mushrooms and you will get a good a meal as is possible to get in this grand ol US of A. Five Stars easy. read more

The place doesn't look very polished, but man, they do have the absolute best pit beef around

One of the best places for BBQ and more. I love their roast beef. If you are looking for good food this is one of many that I recommend.

A nice little find. If you think you are lost, you're probably on the right path -- the place is a little off the main road in a residential area; when you see the guy with the grills goin and smoke rollin, you've found it. We started basic - pit beef. And it was good. Like any Baltimore pit beef place there are plenty of condiments to add to your sandwich! Bonus points for hand cut fries, friendly service, daily specials, and an assortment of sides! read more

Asked for a pit beef medium, received a Cock meat sandwich. Pit beef is usually good tho.. The Chili was good and the hand cut French fries. read more

Pros: The Portions of meat on the sandwiches are very generous for the price! The House BBQ sauce compliments the meat. They have the Onions, Horseradish and BBQ sauce out to use at will Very courteous Service. Cons: The Whole pickles they cut into "4s" could be larger, though, still good pickles There is no "real" smokey taste to the meats. Depending on the preparer, the portions of meat on sandwiches/subs change for the lessor from person to person read more

I love this place. I think that they have the best french fries I ever had. They are crispy and delicious and thick. I had a lot of different items on the menu. Such as, hamburgers and pit beef sandwiches. But my favorite is the western wrap. Delicious I just wish the cheese was melted a bit more into the beef but overall GREAT food!!! I crave their food all the time lol read more

Two buddies and I capped our Pit Beef tour at Cruisers. It's a great spot for roadside food - outdoor charcoal & wood grill smoking sweetly, spacious interior with seats and a TV. The local vibe and laid-back pace was nice - Cruisers is obviously consistently good or it wouldn't survive so far off the beaten track. The beef was quite good - excellent texture and good flavor. You need to apply condiments yourself (salt & pepper are the most important; the horseradish here kicked like a mule - perfect). read more

Man, this place for the win! Sandwiches are piled high and tasty. Got ours on a brioche bun and it was a game changer. Handcut fries and onion rings were perfect. Chili was ok, I thought they would use the pit beef, instead they used reg ground beef. Don't forget the homemade spicy BBQ sauce. Amazing! read more

We needed a new pair beef place here in Edgemere and we got Cruisers. Great people to talk to and their catering service is top notch. They catered my Dad's retirement party food was great and provided plenty of condiments. I love their lunch specials also. If you want burnt ends they got em. I also love their fries with brown gravy and of course the med. Rare pit beef. Keep up the good work guys. read more

A really good pit beef place! I am picky about my pit beef and hate when the meat is tough or fatty, but this place serves lean, well cooked meats! They are not greedy with their portions either so be prepared to not finish the whole thing. We skipped the fries this time so we could enjoy the sandwich. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but open pretty much all day on the rest of the week. My sandwich was 7 and it was just pit beef while my husbands was 8 and he got all three meats (for a dollar more!). This will be our new spot for a pit sandwhich! Only downside is the pit beef could use a bit more flavor but it was so tender that I enjoyed it with a little mayo, mustard, and some onions. You can put your own toppings on which is very nice for those that like a certain amount. read more

So damn good. Can't recommend enough. The pulled pork is the one thing I would stay away from. Real good food!

Fantastic beef sandwich and love, love ,love the fries! I don't know why I've waited this long to try Cruisers. Thank god they opened a pit beef place!!!! The beef is delicious and the fries are amazing fresh cut crispy and tasty! Unbelievable meal for 10 bucks. Tons of meat on the sandwich, you could make another one! Amazing, simply amazing! read more

Today was my first visit to Cruiser's and I am so happy that we went. You could smell the smoker from down the street. This is a small neighborhood joint but the pit beef was juicy, portions huge, service fast and friendly and the price was just right! Where else can you get a giant perfectly cooked pit beef for only $7.00??!! The fries were even spot on. If you haven't tried them yet, do it! Warning: they're closed Mondays and Tuesdays. read more

First time here. Awesome pit beef sandwich. Absolutely delicious! Will definitely stop again.

I have never eaten a better shrimp salad. The shrimp is meaty not rubbery. Seasoning is mild , not too spicy...and the sub rolls are toasted perfectly. Honestly my favorite hands down!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. I can not believe anyone would ever give it less than 5 stars. The food is delicious (everything they have) and you get an insAne amount for the price. Everyone is always super nice. We prob eat here at least twice a week - so if anything were not good or they had an "off" day we'd experienced it by now. Has never happened. Edgemere's hidden gem!!! read more
