    House-Made jalapeño Cornbread, colada rum cocktail and Sunrise Mimosa
    Jemily H.

    Overall, a lovely experience at Miss Shirley's today celebrating my best friend's birthday. I have absolutely heard all the hype surrounding Miss Shirley's from many people and I was so excited to put the hype to the test. The beverages were prepared really well, I got a colada beverage with pineapple and coconut milk that was very refreshing paired with rum. I liked the little pieces of pineapple included in the cup, and the portion was decent. My friend ordered the sunrise mimosa with a beautiful gradient color and with mango juice. I liked that they had so many options for cocktails and mocktails. We mostly ordered appetizers. We had to try the jalapeño cornbread, which came highly suggested. We all agreed it was very tasty. We also ordered the everything bagel biscuits with peach jam. The biscuit consistency and size were great. It was cool they incorporated cream cheese baked in too- very innovative! We also ordered the hot honey fried chicken deviled eggs and those were promptly devoured too. I opted for an item from the lighter option menu- the shrimp and corn chowder was tomato based with a lot of yummy chunky fresh stewed vegetables in every bite. I really did not see much shrimp in the chowder, which was a little disappointing. The birthday girl opted for the two style egg breakfast and she really enjoyed that! I also added a side of the cranberry maple sausage that was on the menu as being unique to the location and it was pretty good definitely lean, but satisfied the hankering. Service was ok and checked in on us often.

    Miss Shirley's Café has always been on my list of places to visit and I was finally able to go during my sorority's regional conference this past weekend. We arrived shortly after opening and had a wonderful breakfast. I ordered the CY Young omelette and I added chicken sausage to it. I got the side of grits and a biscuit. Everything was delicious. I also had a coffee which was delicious as well. I also was able to taste the French toast which was very filling. Overall, great place very clean and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely return.

    Beginning a new globe trotting adventures. Ahead of the journey we sought out a breakfast location to prepare for the journey. The food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the beef with eggs and hash browns. Absolutely delicious. We were quickly seated upon arrival by a wonderful hostess who took our order as soon as we settled in. The ambieance was comfortable with light conversation ongoing throughout.

    We came for breakfast having been in the area. I decided to try something new this time and got the southern slammer sandwich. I ended up removing the pumpernickel bread and used the everything but the bagel biscuit that came with my husband's meal instead to make the sandwich and it was very very very good. My coffee came out with the coffee grinds in it but I was quickly given a fresh cup. Would def go back and continue to try out more of the menu.

    I've been to Miss Shirley's three or four times because I genuinely wanted to support a Black-owned business. I kept coming back thinking maybe I'd have a better experience, but after this visit, I don't see myself returning. To be fair, one thing they do well is seating. I've always been seated quickly, even when it's busy, and the location is convenient. The food, however, has been consistently average. During this visit, I was seated inside and spent a good part of my meal swatting away flies, which wasn't pleasant. I ordered the omelet with hash browns and a biscuit. The biscuit was easily the best part of the meal. warm, soft, and buttery. The omelet was oily, and the hash browns were cold by the time they reached the table. My friend ordered the cheeseburger and said the bun tasted stale. It was falling apart as she ate it, which made the meal even more disappointing. I really wanted to love this place, but after several visits, I just don't think the food lives up to its reputation. Baltimore has so many excellent brunch spots that consistently deliver better food and a better overall experience. At this point, Miss Shirley's feels more like a destination for tourists than a place locals return to because the food keeps them coming back. I hope they can improve the consistency because I'd love to see them live up to the reputation that first brought me in.

    Honestly, I was not prepared for Miss Shirley's to actually be this good. We ordered so many different types of things and I wasn't disappointed in any of them. We pulled up randomly on a Saturday after walking around for brunch. We were seated in about 20 minutes, despite them not taking reservations. When we were seated, I was immediately impressed by the Kids activities they offer. For Kids, they give them an etch a sketch and a card with things like conversation, starters and trivia, to promote convo and no screen time. Love! I actually like how they treat kids as a whole. Instead of a typical kids "meal," they essentially have a Kids Bento box that is automatically served with fresh fruit and applesauce or yogurt. Everything about it was super cute. Service overall: overall, the service here was pretty good. Well, I do feel like it took a bit for refills at one point, our server was really attentive and made some good recommendations. Food: wow! The food here was really good. We got the fried green tomatoes and added crab on top. It was bomb. I can't remember the exact name of the skillet I got, but I got the skillet that had fried chicken, one of their bomb everything but the bagel biscuits, greens, gravy, an egg and cheddar grits. I am rarely blown away by everything on my plate, but I have to acknowledge that everything in the skillet had great flavor on its own and when combined. At our table, we were not disappointed by anything. We spent about $127 on brunch for three adults and one kid, all with beverages. I think there might've been one cocktail. We also had an appetizer. Given the portion sizes and the flavor of the food, I would say that that's not bad at all. I will definitely be back here and would recommend.

    We dined at MSC on a Saturday morning around 9 am. There was a 20 minute wait to be seated, which was not bad. It's a cute cafe with comfortable seating. I ordered the crabby omelet and two blueberry pancakes. My hubby ordered the gravy train skillet. The food and service was outstanding. We're going back tomorrow.

    Food pretty good. The service was great. Very clean. Noise level 7/10. No need to waif if going during the morning in the mid-week.

    First time visiting Miss Shirley's yesterday and had an excellent visit! We were seated quickly and our server was super friendly! The fried deviled eggs were delish and a little spicy! The waffles were also very sweet and fluffy. The icing was great and some syrup, it truly was perfection. Would love to stop by again next time we are in the city!

    I appreciate that they do so much for allergies and cross contamination. The service is great too. I really tried to like the pancakes but they were so beyond dry that I ran out of syrup and whipped cream trying to prevent the chalk taste in my mouth. By far the worst GF pancakes I have ever had. I was also disappointed that they do not offer lattes. The strawberries were fresh at least and the bacon was fine.

    It is a Baltimore icon for a reason! The Inner Harbor location is just as good as the original too. True, parking can be tricky, but there are plenty of public garages within a short walk. The food... stellar. Just be warned, the portions are huge!! So, if the prices seem a touch high, keep in mind, you'll easily have two meals from one entrée! The service was good, very quick, and very friendly. The location is perfect too, right at the end of the main stretch of the inner harbor walk (Pratt Street). We went during the holiday season, and the seasonal offerings were really good! Their main menu is always delectable though. It was a tough decision! There are too many other glowing reviews for me to try to add anything new, so check it out for yourself if you haven't yet!

    Miss Shirley's was theeeeee perfect Saturday breakfast/brunch spot to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We had heard great things about this spot from our realtor and used the occasion as an opportunity to check it out! from the second we walked in to Miss Shirley's, the vibe felt warm and inviting. They were playing oldies, it was cozy inside, and after coming in from the freezing cold it honestly felt like a much needed hug. When you walk in, one thing you can't miss is how many awards they have posted all over the walls (especially if your entire party isn't there as they don't seat without the whole party being there and you have to sit in the waiting area up front). This restaurant has a million awards and articles highlighting their crab cakes. After seeing all the buzz on the wall, we came in to the restaurant excited to order the crab cake Benedict, only to find out they no longer serve crab cakes. Our waitress explained that they removed them because they weren't meeting the restaurant's "standard," which I guess I respect, but we were still genuinely so sad because that's what we were most looking forward to. Thankfully, their menu is full of amazing sounding meals and we're still able to end up having a really good meal. One person in our group ordered the shrimp and grits, two of us got the chicken and waffles and swapped the honey mustard aioli for hot honey, and the fourth ordered the banana bread French toast. Overall everything was tasty, but the chicken on the chicken and waffles was a little overcooked and tough, which was the only real downside. The clear star of the table was the shrimp and grits. The plating was unique and really tasteful, and it somehow elevated such a classic comfort dish. It was honestly some of the best shrimp and grits I've had up north. We also ordered a side of hash browns and those were amazing too, super crispy and satisfying. Service was another big highlight. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, and we felt taken care of the entire time. Even though we were disappointed about the crab cakes, we still had a great experience and I'd absolutely come back.

    This is my first visit. Right after halloween. This is why all the waiters were dressed up.. The dishes was ok for breakfast. It's always busy. We waited 30 minutes. We took breakfast plates. The waites was nice. I took a photo with them. Ambience was ok.

My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Sunday morning, and while it was understandably very busy, we were still able to find a seat. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight -- it has a warm, inviting feel that makes it a great spot to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy a slow morning. The bagel sandwiches were so-so, and unfortunately the bagels themselves were a little underwhelming. For the price, we expected a bit more. The coffee was also a miss for us; it was very watery, and we ended up grabbing another coffee from a nearby shop afterward. Overall, Mindpub is a great place if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, a baked good, or a casual sandwich in a charming setting. The space and vibe are excellent, but the food and coffee left a little to be desired.

Even though it was a Saturday we were able to find a spot to sit, and the decor was really fun. There's upstairs seating that seemed a little quieter too. I ordered the Darwin on an Asiago bagel. I wish there was more Brie cheese on it, but it was really good overall. The apple jam was a nice sweet touch. My bagel also came with a side of fruit and a hash brown. The hash brown was a little undercooked for me though. I also got a coco cocoa cold brew, which was a chocolate cold brew with coconut cold foam. It had coconut flakes on it so I had to chew each time I took a sip, and I didn't really taste any chocolate. The cold brew itself was good though, bold and not grainy at all. It was a little loud in the cafe due to all the people, but I had a great time anyway. I'll definitely be back if I need a cute brunch spot or a coffee pick-me-up!

It's 9:30am, I'm not trying to scream over 90s pop music to have a conversation with someone two feet away from me. The menu was a QR code on a dirty, laminated card stuck to the table. My friend and I each ordered an entree plus a short stack to share. Neither of our egg dishes came with toast so we ordered that on the side. All they offer is white, English muffin or biscuit. I ordered the white toast and it is the 2" thick, low quality, tasteless white bread they use for their French toast. Whatever. The utensils are one step above plastic - they are light-weight, cheap, rough edged crap you might imagine in a prison. Whatever. The plastic containers of half and half were already on the table, sitting there at room temp. Again, whatever. The waitress dropped off the bill, said to use the QR code to pay unless we were using cash, then took off. If we wanted to split the bill, I guessed we would need to wait for her to come back around. So, I offered to pay the astoundingly high bill. I open the QR link and the first things that popped are the tip options with 20% pre-selected. All told the bill was $97 for two people. When I got home I glanced at the itemized bill: *They charged us $16 for two cups of coffee with one refill each. *a 20 % tip was already included! Apparently, they add 20% onto checks over $50. Of course it's over $50 when you charge $16 for mugs of coffee, and $$ for sides of crappy white toast. Make no mistake, this is my fault for paying with the QR code and not combing through the itemized bill first. I guess I'm not used to going to neighborhood joints expecting to get fleeced. My suggestion: go around the corner to Spoons Cafe on Cross St: high quality food and you won't feel robbed blind when you look at the bill.
