    Omgggg! Amazing Deli! When I lived in Richmond Va, we had a place called "Jason's Deli" which featured creative salads and baked potatoes. This spot reminds of that Jason Deli. I loved their creative menu, the food was plentiful and yummy!

    French Dip; Potato salad, lemonade + sweet tea
    Erin B.

    I really enjoyed the French Dip sandwich! I actually had never tried one before and had been intrigued and I think this was a great introduction! The sandwich itself was tasty with or without the au jus, but with it was like a fun bonus experience, texture, and flavor. I can't necessarily compare it to other French Dip sandwiches, but it felt right to me and I always appreciate a pickle to cut through a sandwich, especially with the kind of rich flavor of the broth. The potato salad was also good as well as the 1/2 sweet tea + 1/2 lemonade! I probably could have done 1/2 unsweetened tea + 1/2 lemonade and would do that in the future, but I wanted to err on the side of caution (sweetness) for this first time. Service was extremely fast-- I'd highly recommend doing a pickup order. They also fill the cup with the liquid and add ice when you get there which I think is a really thoughtful touch, ensuring your drink isn't watered down by the time you get there. The restaurant itself also has ample seating, was very well kept, and not too noisy, I got my order to go but would definitely eat inside with some coworkers another time.

    Great experience! Everytime I go the customer service is really good and the restaurant is clean even the bathrooms. I love the tea.

    Jalapeño turkey crunch and potato salad
    Nichole B.

    Stopped in after leaving the gym and returning an item at Marshall's. Been meaning to come in and grab a sandwich, and glad I did. Got the jalapeño turkey crunch and you have a choice of sides( chips, steamed broccoli, tomato and cucumber salad, potato salad). They were out of the cucumber and tomato salad, I opted for the potato salad. That Turkey sandwich was really good. The sliced Turkey was nice and fresh, with the avocado and jalapeños chips. I couldn't finish it all, took the rest home. The restaurant is nice and clean inside. You can Carryout or dine in. The staff was very polite and professional. Definitely will be my go to for a nice deli sandwich.

    I agree with the mixed reviews here. A lot of potential but def needs some improvement is a reoccurring theme here. I came here for the first time on a Monday evening with a T-Mobile redemption I wanted to use. I got the Choose 2 and picked a half a sandwich and half a Spud. I customized both which was a nice feature. The potato was delicious, but that's pretty hard to mess up. They actually gave me a whole potato instead of half which was awesome! That kind of made up for the super small sandwich which didn't feel like half, more like a quarter. It was the McAllister club sandwich which was delicious but I only really got 2 or 3 bites since it was so small. I customized the potato to just get butter, cheese, salt & sour cream. The deli is super clean, bathrooms were clean. The meal would have been $11.69 without my redemption, the cookie was $2.32. Reasonably priced, reminds me of a mix between Panera & Subway. Parking can be tricky, there is street parking you can pay for or garage parking you can pay for. Not a lot of people were there at all but customer service was a bit slow. The cashier was really young and new so it took her a bit to get my order before the manager had to step in to finish the order. Personally I would recommend having someone new shadow until they get the hang of it, but she did alright. I got the chocolate chip cookie and a drink as well. The cookie was good! I like the decor but it felt a bit chaotic and disorganized, esp with a new person as the only cashier. The size of the sandwich was disappointing. Overall, I would come back and maybe order ahead.

    Potato soup duh, and chicken club - pick 2

    If nothing else, come for the jams. This place checks a lot of boxes for those of us that work downtown. Aka soup. So unless you hate soup and/or don't work downtown, what is there even to complain about? Seriously. Staff is

    Maryland finally has a McAlister's! Added bonus it's within walking distance of my work. Happy dance! There's a McAlister's near my mom in Knoxville, TN. So I am very familiar with the restaurant. The location here in Baltimore is new. Employees are so sweet. The menu is comparable to an upscale Panera. I much prefer McAlister's. By far! I love the choose two options. Salads, soups, sandwiches and spuds, aka baked potatoes. The spuds are always cooked perfectly. So many toppings options. The restaurant is clean, bright with some Baltimore touches. If you're downtown, give them a try.

    Oh my goodness, I'm absolutely thrilled that McAlister's Deli has come to the Inner Harbor of Baltimore City! I can already see myself spending countless fall and winter days there or picking up dinner to go. As a Southerner, I have a special love for McAlister's menu, and I'm so excited to have it close by. The concept is a perfect fit for the Inner Harbor! I have so many favorite items on their menu, from the delicious Potato Spud Max to the McAlister's Club, and of course, the Nachos with Chili are to die for. The service was outstanding when I visited, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I'm looking forward to many more visits!

    Potato Salad
    Shaunie W.

    Food is good. Staff is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the facility is clean. It's new to the harbor. The Spuds are good, the potato salad wasn't the best...too much creamy mayo, mac and cheese was watery but had ok flavor. All the sandwiches were good.

    Ruben with mac n cheese
    Anthony W.

    The staff was very welcoming, and the location seemed really clean. I chose the Ruben with mac and cheese. I have no complaints; it's not Attmans, but it wasn't bad.

    I visited Blueprint Cafe on a Wednesday morning. There were already a few people lined up when we…read morearrived, and it continued to get busier as we sat down and waited for our food. I loved the selection of pastries they offered--the pandan pastry was definitely my favorite. My husband ordered the drip coffee over ice, and I got the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both coffees were excellent. The Vietnamese coffee was a bit too sweet for my taste, and it was served in a very small glass. I think it would have been even better with a little more coffee to balance the sweetness. For lunch, we ordered the kimbap and the egg bowl, and both dishes were outstanding. The only downside was that it took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive. However, the cafe was extremely busy and clearly backed up, so we didn't mind the wait too much--especially since the food was so delicious. The indoor space is quite small, but they do offer outdoor seating. I can't wait to come back and try more of their Asian-inspired pastries and dishes. What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood!

The play on sweet and savory is just so comforting. I also had the apple cinnamon butter muffin and the muffin top was insanely delicious. The crumble on top of the apple butter was gluttony. I beleive they rotate their muffins regularly which I appreciate. I've had their raspberry matcha in the summer which I remember tasted so fresh on a hot day. And I recently had their 5 spice latte which was a great balance of spice and sweet. Overall, I honestly would consider moving to the area just to live next to this cafe not being dramatic at all.

The bartenders were polite and cleaned our table quickly, considering the place was packed they were doing an amazing job. The Buffalo Garlic Parm sauce for the wings was clearly home made and without realizing it we were there on a Tuesday making the wings only 9 dollars, the blue cheese is very mild but worked well with the sauce. The shrimp po'boy was large enough to split and was comparable to a sandwich from New Orleans in quality. I was tempted by the club but the turkey isn't the style I like, otherwise I could easily see myself trying more of the menu because it's clear the cook was skilled. The rail ginger beer and rum was inexpensive and well made and their selection of beer while currently missing a few key dark beer items was not bad at all, they included some draft beer options as well outside of the standard light beers and National Bohemian. All in all I would see myself returning when I head to the area for Ottobar events to try more of their food menu, just remember to get there somewhat early before the kitchen closes at 10.

If you're talking Baltimore pit beef, Chaps Pit Beef has been a staple for years, and after coming here for over a decade, I can confidently say it still delivers every single time. Their new location, just a stone's throw from the original humble shack, is a huge upgrade. You get the same iconic food, but now with a much larger dining room that actually makes it easy to bring a group without fighting for space. It's the best of both worlds. Same old school flavor with a more comfortable setup. On my most recent visit, I stuck with my go to. A loaded hoagie absolutely packed with pit beef, corned beef, sausage, and turkey. It's massive, messy in the best way, and exactly what you want when you're craving something unapologetically Baltimore. I paired it with a large order of fries, which were piled high and perfect for sharing. Decided to switch it up a bit and try the Holy Cod fish sandwich too, and that ended up being a sleeper hit. Huge portion of crispy fried cod, topped with fresh coleslaw on a soft bun. Not something you usually go to Chaps for, but honestly worth ordering. Everything came out crazy fast, which is always impressive considering how busy they can get. Quick stop at the condiment bar is a must. Load up on the free pickles, onions, Carolina Gold mustard, and that tiger sauce. The horseradish and mayo combo just hits different on pit beef. Bottom line, Chaps might not be a hidden gem anymore, but it doesn't need to be. It still outperforms most spots in the pit beef game and continues to be one of the best sandwiches you can get in Baltimore.

It didn't even have the smell or feel of a proper pit beef place. Customer service also needs improvement. The cashier taking our order seemed more focused on watching the baseball game on TV than helping customers. It might be worth turning the TV off near the counter so staff can give customers the attention and service they deserve. Overall, not a great experience.

I couldn't even finish the meal. I would definitely check out this spot again for fresh fried chicken.
