    Chicken dumplings and fried coddies (very Baltimore/Baltimore County thing) with crackers and mustard) at top
    Steve R.

    High marks for this local Locust Point institution since 1984 (possibly named after the hit TV police show Hill Street Blues) but a local saloon going back to 1889! Sort of in the middle of nowhere/not much happening, Hull gives low-key service, tasty food, great desserts at a relatively cheap price for it all! We adored our appetizers of chicken dumplings and fried coddies (a very Baltimore/Baltimore County thing) with crackers and mustard and mussels in white wine with absolutely delicious soft pretzel sticks topped off with warm lemon pound cake with whipped cream. Drinks: an Arnold Palmer and an unsweetened iced tea.

    Stopped in here on a Saturday and it definitely gives dive bar - in the best way! We started with their mussels which I think was our favorite thing we got! The sauce was delicious and they came with huge soft pretzel sticks to dip! 10/10! I had the fish tacos which were blackened salmon and I thought they were pretty good. My boyfriend had their infamous French dip which he enjoyed as well. Great service and friendly people!

    Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

    Happy Father's Day! Our first visit to HSB. We have been riding our bikes past here for the last year & kept wanting to stop. My wife chose it for Poppa day. We joined our daughter for great brussel sprouts! My wife had the HSB salad with grilled shrimp. Clean plate! My daughter had the Philly cheesesteak & said it was good. I had the Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich on a brioche roll. It was juicy & delicious. I had one in Buffalo a few weeks back & this was 100 times better. The fries were good too. Great neighborhood joint with outdoor seating on a beautiful day!

    Crab Dip

    Walked here for dinner and was shocked at how amazing the food was. The restaurant is very quaint and almost hidden. Small interior and had European vibes. It was a little busy, but we had great service. The carb dip was absolutely amazing! This is a must- everything about this appetizer was delicious, especially the bread. Didn't snap a picture of our entrees, but I got a chicken dish and my fiancé got a shrimp burger- both were great and large portions. Great restaurant for a casual, yummy dinner.

    Tasty food and great vibe. In a quiet neighborhood and a local favorite. The PEI mussels are terrific.

    Came here on a weeknight and hung out with the locals. The bartending staff is very friendly, and the chef works magic! Definitely worth stopping by for a drink and food!

    Blackened salmon, delicious!!

    One of my favorite local spots... the best food in the 'hood. I recently ordered the mother's day special to celebrate my first mother's as a mom. There were 6 of us, and all of the food was fantastic! I love all the ways they prepare salmon, and their desserts are always fantastic! I am thankful that Hull Street for all the amazing food! #ThankYouThursday

It's definitely on the divey side, but in a fun, laid-back way. Our server was great and even let us sample a few beers before ordering. I tried a pumpkin ale -- which I actually loved! It surprised me because I don't usually drink beer (hate is a strong word, but I normally don't like it). This one was sweeter and enjoyable. We got the garlic rosemary fries (the aioli was perfect), plus the blackened chicken tenders and honey Old Bay wings. Definitely not a place that'll leave you hungry -- portions are generous! We had a great time and enjoyed all our food. The only reason I left off a star was because the bathroom freaked me out a little ..but I'd still visit again. Casual setting for sure -- we saw lots of friend groups hanging out that seem like regulars. Seems like a great neighborhood spot with a solid community.

Instead of applying the BOGO to each pair, they only removed the cheapest rolls overall, which made the "BOGO" deal feel misleading. Service also wasn't great. We asked our bartender for the check, she said okay, then walked away to eat and talk with other customers, so we had to ask another bartender to help us. Good sushi, but the promotion and service left a bad impression.

After 10 minutes of trying to get a bartender's or waiter's attention, we left. Months, later, we were craving sushi and decided to try again. This time we sat at the bar which is spacious enough and were helped immediately. Even though we wanted sushi, I couldn't resist the cheesesteak eggroll which was very good and came out hot. While it was a little oily, it was still tasty and enjoyable. We order 3 rolls and the fried Oreos to go and while I recommend the Oreos and cheesesteak eggrolls, I can't recommend the sushi here. The spicy tuna tasted canned, and the trio roll was way too fishy. The volcano was the best, but also just okay. You also don't get any ginger with your rolls. I think this place is better as a regular bar, but for an advertised sushi spot, it doesn't have great sushi.

The service is always great, and having a big party is never a problem. The servers are attentive and organized, making it easy to pay for what you got at the end of your day at Lee's. With TVs everywhere, you can expect a lively crowd. The firecracker tots were the perfect nibble with our drinks for the afternoon and you can never go wrong with fries and ranch. When going out in Canton, I always uber, as I don't live walking distance and I know parking can be hard. However, with Lee's being located in such a fun area, you can easily bar hop and have the best time. I hope to go back to Lee's soon for their one of their oyster events and even enjoy other delicious menu items.

Note, my daughter had put ketchup on plate before realizing the oversight. So, when the MANAGER brought the food back, I'm thinking it was a show of good faith given the error. Nope. He had a smug attitude and puts the plate on the table where I immediately notice the original plate was reused because it had the ketchup smear. I asked him if this was the same sent back plate of food and he said "yes" and said the added the avocado. They UNWRAPPED the original wrap and just added the avocado and brought the entire plate back. I immediately questioned how that follows food handling guidelines. If they weren't going to redo the order, they could have just brought avocado slices to the table! The MANAGER had a very dismissive, RUDE attitude and so I sent everything back and left. I did tip the waitress cash because she was great and had got us drinks by that point. Again, she was nice and side-eyed the manager agreeing what he did was not acceptable. Apparently he also had a rep for being rude and nasty. I will never eat there again. You have a kitchen with seafood and meats and have no food handling controls? Yeah, miss me with the risk of food poisoning or cross-contamination. No thank you! You're rude to customers and have no standards? Whoever runs the kitchen should know better as should the manager. I can only imagine what else goes on in that kitchen. Dine there at your own risk.

I actually found Union Hill while planning my friend's 40th birthday dinner from another state, and from the moment I reached out, everything just flowed. I inquired about hosting a dinner and one of the owners, Matt, got back to me within a day. From there, the planning felt effortless. He answered all my questions, stayed in communication, and really helped bring the whole vision together. We had close to 30 people for the dinner in one of their private dining areas, and when I say the staff was impeccable... they were ON IT. My friend had no idea where she was going, so this was a full surprise. Once we gave the staff the green light, they were ready and immediately started accommodating everyone. Everything just flowed from there. We did family-style appetizers, which I loved because everyone got to try a little bit of everything. Everything was flavorful and came out at the perfect pace. For my entrée, I had the salmon and it was so good. And listen... I hosted the whole thing, ate there that night, AND still had leftovers to take home. That's always a win. They were also super accommodating leading up to the event. I was able to drop off the cake and cake pops the evening before, and I was even able to decorate the private dining area, which made everything feel really personal. What could have easily been a stressful experience ended up feeling seamless. The restaurant atmosphere is beautiful. The private dining area worked perfectly for our group, and they even have an upstairs outdoor area as well as a downstairs outdoor space, which I didn't get to experience this time but definitely want to the next time I go back. I'm so grateful I came across Union Hill Kitchen & Craft Bar. It made such a special occasion even better.
