Once again, my partner and I were on the fence about what we wanted to eat. I wanted soul food…read moreagain, but wanted to try a different restaurant. I'd seen reviews about Grannys so I thought we'd give it a try. I ordered fried chicken, candied yams, cabbage, and cheesecake. My partner ordered the trout (it looked fancy), macaroni & cheese and collard greens. The fried chicken, IMO, wasn't cooked hard enough. I ate two and let my partner have the other two. The candied yams and cabbage were good. Those are my go-to's! My partner didn't say much about her meal, but from the looks of things, she enjoyed it. But that Oreo cheesecake...... BABY! It was so good! I was only going to take a few bites and ended up eating the whole thing! ...and I paid for it later, but it was worth it. I'd like to give them a try for brunch so we'll go back, likely in person, for that.

We opted for the crab cake (claw meat) and the old bay salmon and salads to start. This time everything was mediocre, entrees were cold, which was unacceptable. Management took care of us because of this. Will probably give it another try!!! Ambiance and drinks are always a vibe!

You can never go wrong with visiting an Eggspectation and this one was no exception. Food was…read moregreat. Only complaint was the mint they had for their drinks looked pitiful.

I don't eat big meals very often. When I do, I prefer…read morebreakfast style mixed with dinner style. Lamb chops with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes? That's fancy country eatin'. The chimichurri sauce was the savory icing on chop. (I couldn't resist) My eggs were scrambled spread eagle on the plate . I never seen eggs presented in that way. Everything was hot and delicious. I am honestly writing this months later , after the fact, but I don't remember having a customer service issue. They made my favorite carrot ginger drink. I had 2 ! So spicy . One of the bartenders used to work at the Blue Lagoon and I was so happy to see her. It's so funny how you make strangers apart of your life while enjoying your meal. You don't know anything about them yet you are sad when they miss work. I think that is the "American Dream". Work hard enough for someone else to be your "server". Or your nail tech. Service providers are the backbone of our country. Tip well. A guy almost broke up with me because I gave $5 tip. Yes, you read that correctly. Anyways, I have never had a problem here ...thinking ....Nope! It's a good place to sit and have dessert. No loud music and ample space for a big group.

Went to Hue Cafe on a whim one afternoon and I'm so glad I did. Within a matter of days, I was back…read moreagain to order the very same thing! The menu item that currently has my heart (and tastebuds) is the Sweet Potato Super Green Salad. When I initially ordered it, it was tossed was too much dressing but I was still able to enjoy it. The second time I visited, I ordered it as a wrap and the dressing to food ratio was much better. The service was pleasant during both visits and the atmosphere is cozy as well though I have yet to dine in. I'm sure I'll be back in the coming weeks and months to try more things to rave about.

But a fellow customer told me how good the home fries were and I HAD to get it. I am so happy with my choice ! It didn't even need ketchup! That's how good it was.

Continuing on my list of coffee shops, I tried The Reister's Daughter in Reisterstown, MD. This…read moreplace was great. We met some friends and were able to find both parking and a table. I had a mocha latte and this Iranian Chocolate Pop-Tart thing that was awesome.... I really need to start taking pictures of my food and these places. The ambiance is that of a coffee house but this coffee house is an old historic building with natural wood floors and big windows. The layout is convenient for having a mix of seating and the volume was such that we could hear our party but not feel like we were screaming. The coffee was good. the people friendly, the snacks (ok not a meal but too much to ignore from the experience) the snacks were delightful. My wife almost ate half of my Pop-tart it was so good. Ok, this one gets a definite try, the locals seemed to like it, it was close-ish to Columbia, and worth checking out.

I stopped in again today for a breakfast wrap. And again they are out…read more But I was happy to see that they have started with THE PUMPKIN favorites.... It was late morning so a lot of the baked goods were low. I chose after minutes of wanting what I wanted to decide on trying the chocolate berry bread pudding. I got a small iced PSL w/oatmilk and light ice. There was a very steady flow of customers. The warmed up bread pudding came out within reason but my psl to an unusual time to get to me. I honestly believe they skipped over my ticket as folks coming well after me receives their orders and left. A few minutes of house cleaning (wiping tables) was needed. Ive never been in here feeling like it was trashy and cluted but today it felt a little as such. I was satisified with my PSL and bread pudding. I left with goodness but wish I could have had my wrap.

What a wonderful surprise!…read more I happened to be in the area around lunchtime and saw Terri's on Yelp. Everything about this local spot was amazing. I was welcomed into the restaurant and helped through the menu. Everyone was super friendly. I ordered a buttermilk chicken sandwich. It was fresh and delicious ... a bit too big for me to finish. The fries were perfect. Nothing was fancy, just well prepared and good! I will make an excuse to drive over this way and come again. 100% recommended!

I'm so excited to have found this hidden gem!! I came needing a straightforward breakfast of eggs…read moreand bacon but decided to do the pancake platter with eggs and bacon instead because the price was too good! Since I couldn't have the pancakes (dietary restrictions), I knew they'd be perfect to bring to my husband who later said they were one of the best pancakes he's ever had! They looked so fluffy I was so jealous!! But still, I was more than satisfied with my bacon and eggs. I asked for over medium eggs and got it exactly how I wanted it, the whites were cooked throughout and the yolk, runny and delicious. The bacon was cooked perfectly and not too greasy. Everything was hot and fresh - even the fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie that was the perfect ratio of soft, chewy, but not flimsy! The service was warm and friendly - will definitely be back, being here was like stepping into someone's home, where the food was made with love and intentionality.

Great food, but the service ruined a special family occasion…read more This used to be a favorite spot of mine, but the service has completely declined. Me and my family came out to celebrate my father's birthday, and the experience was incredibly disappointing. The Food: Absolutely delicious and up to standard. The Service: Awful. Our waiter barely checked on us, forcing us to ask other staff members for help. To make matters worse, we waited 30 minutes just for the bill, then another 10 minutes for the server to process it. Whether they were short-staffed or not, ruining a birthday celebration makes me hesitant to ever return.

It's really a shame how poor service and management can ruin a restaurant…read more For many years I have enjoyed First Watch. I have patronized numerous locations. I have been going to their Pikesville location for 4 years. NOT ANYMORE! Let's start with the rude man who is the Host/cashier. He seats folks however he feels like rather than when they came in. Today was the last draw! He sat two women who came in after I did before me. Say what you will but "coincidentally" they were black and so is he! The feckless manager offered no help. This arrogant front man is mishandling his position while the manager retreats to the kitchen. I know several customers who have abandoned the Pikesville location for the Owings Mills facility. I previously wondered why, but not anymore. THE PIKESVILLE FIRST WATCH IS DETERIORATING!

First Watch used to be such a yummy, consistent treat but now... Shrinkflation at its finest. All portion sizes have decreased, and the prices have gone up. There was a good amount of avocado on my toast but the bread they now use is a shell of its former version. The cheese grits were enjoyable and the eggs were fresh. I also believe my mother enjoyed her double bacon Parmesan hash but, overall, the price tag is no longer worth it. The service left a lot to be desired as well. Major sigh.

My coworkers put me on to this spot a couple of years ago, so shame on me for just getting around…read moreto my review... As others have said, this is a Black owned establishment that serves a community without many sit down options. I'm really pleased that they do a great job with service, food quality and price point. HSH doesn't have an extensive list of options, so they're able to do what they do pretty well. For appetizers, I've only had the fried green tomatoes. Pretty flavorful, especially with the sauce. In different visits, I've ordered salmon and grits, shrimp po boy, salmon and grits. All of them solid choices. At one of our "working lunches" we opted for adult beverages to take the edge off of an especially trying day lol. Sturdy drinks indeed. It's really a decent spot for a nice breakfast, brunch or lunch at a reasonable price. Definitely recommended.
