This was the absolute worst meal I've ever had. We got there at 6:30 and weren't served our appetizers until 8:00. The grilled oysters were horrible, the nachos were chips served with a little melted cheese. The crab soup was basically Cracker Barrel chicken and dumplings broth...flour water with no crab or flavor. The cheeseburger was a hockey puck and the steak and rockfish were child portions. Never again. read more

I patronize this establishment on many occasions with my child. After experiencing I very rude response from the manager today. I decided to share my experience here at the restaurant on Friday evening. Although, we did get there after 9 for dinner, I didn't order much. The food was ok, but the next morning my child became very sick from eating the southwest egg rolls and the Mac and cheese balls that were on the special menu. I'm a mom and this the sickest my child ever been when it comes to food. Hope the things will get better with her in which is slightly did. I proceed to share my experience with the manager today. Who was VERY RUDE, NONCHALANT AND arrogant to the matter at hand and tried to compare his body to a 7 year old and proceed to say "what is it that you want him to do". What type of manager respond in that matter. He seem very upset at the feedback. And tried to make it seem like I was lying about what my child had because there was no other people with the same experience. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS AGAIN!!!! read more

Food was average and service was awful. Really rude blonde bartender/ waitress working the bar. Skip it and go to abbey burger if you want a good burger. read more

Came here for a large group dinner lecture and it was lovely! The interior is clean and feels very new. There was a fire in 2011, and the entire place was rebuilt in 2012. I wouldn't have guessed that it's already 7 years old. I liked the modern-barn themed design. We had a private room, but the rest of the restaurant seemed to be very lively, even on a Wednesday night. Crab dip was very creamy and had an acceptable amount of crab meat. Cheese board: selected slices with fig jam, small pickles (?), and olives. Truffle fries: thin, crispy, and the truffle taste was obvious. Drinks: I liked both the red and white sangrias. The white sangria was very sweet and fruity, and the red was smooth and leaned on the sweet side too. Both were served with raspberries and blueberries. Lemon chicken and pasta: The chicken and asparagus were cut into smaller pieces and mixed throughout the pasta. There were Parmesan flakes (as opposed to grated or shredded--this is a plus). The "light cream sauce" was a tad runny but otherwise delicious. It was a huge portion size! The garlic bread was a bit too dry, but there were soft rolls on the table that made up for it. Peanut butter cheesecake: exactly what I expected it to be--a solid dessert. Wait service was extremely polite throughout the meal. There were two waiters on our table, and they stopped by frequently for drink refills. They also boxed up the leftover food to go for us. Mt. Washington Tavern seems like it would be a nice place for a fancy dinner or date night! read more

This was the first time I've been here; we came with a party of 8 and I believe everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. They had a special menu of seafood dishes this week, I had the crab and avocado stack for $21 - it was a small portion, but I have a smaller appetite and wanted something light so it was perfect. The problem came with the service. We were there more than two hours when it was not very crowded at all. After we specifically asked for the check, it took around half an hour to get it. The menu does say one check per table, but we asked to split it because some of the party had another place to be, and wasn't expecting dinner to take so long. She was very rude about this request (which we did politely by the way), and messed up the bills, giving two of us the exact same one. I would have returned for the food, but I was really underwhelmed with the treatment of customers there. read more

Went in at about 2 o'clock, not very busy, ordered seared Ahi tuna sandwich requested it, medium, fish was literally cold like it came out of refrigerator and completely completely rare not even sure if it had been cooked at all, took another 15 minutes for my food to come back after rest of party had finished lunch, asked for fries instead of chips, still got chips. Love the ambience of the building and neighborhood but this place isn't what it used to be. read more

We had table service outside and it was amazing. The food was standard neighborhood bar food- nothing too fancy. The service was the best- Adele was our server and she made our experience such a pleasure- she made some great recommendations and was really kind! read more

We came on a Thursday for lunch and whoever the bartender was needs to find a new job..Not friendly at all.. Coming from a bartender here..I will say we were a large group however, we had reservations So she should have been aware and ready.. read more

Incredible place. Very spacious for group setting and our waitress Nelly was incredibly attentive. We just let Nelly decided on our apps, everything was amazing. The most delicious entrees was probably the Tavern steak, done to perfection served with truffle fries. I'm a fan of this place and will be back read more

Nice locale, very available (lit) parking, and a generally great time. My wife had a great ti e there! read more

Service incredible!!!!! Great bar food, wings and burgers are legit!!! Upstairs and plenty of seating. Definitely a must try for anyone visiting Baltimore read more

Whew. Not much to say about the food at this place. The decor and openness of the restaurant is beautiful. Service was great. Food was subpar. Had the jumbo crab dip that was full of shells and way more cream cheese than crab. Then I made a dumb chose lol of getting cream of crab soup on top of something else creamy. That was the worse cream of crab I ever had. Taste like school cafeteria nasty food. Again hardly any crab and thick gloppy mess. read more

Clean and nice ambiance. Drinks were a hit, we enjoyed the blood orange southside. Was not a place I would go back for steak frites, as the steak was very fatty and had little flavor. But, we did like the pretzels and beer cheese, so recommend pretzels and drinks! read more

Went here for my daughters graduation from a local university at her suggestion. Great choice! She had an awesome steak and I had crab cakes. Both were soooooooo good.

Well what can I say about waiting close to 30 minutes or maybe a little more for nachos with bacon. I wish I took a picture so you could see the bacon or lack there of. But it was loaded with pickled jalapeños. Ohhh not to mention I ordered a orange slush that turned out to taste like grapefruit. And our server I don't remember her name couldn't give a crap about their service she provided because her 20% tip was already added!!! read more

My job chose this place for leadership meeting and I'm so glad they did! It was my first time so I was eager to try the menu. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and fresh!! For starters, we ordered the crab dip, fried green tomatoes, and nachos. The food looked so good I didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything except the amazing fried green tomatoes topped with real LUMP crabmeat!! They were so delicious and had a nice crunch to them. They loaded the crabmeat on top which was a plus!! The crab dip was also pretty good. For my meal I ordered the smash burger with truffle fries. The burger was huge and the fries gave everything it was supposed to give. For my drink I had the Apple pie peach sangria which was nice and strong. Our server was also amazing and did a great job with keeping up with our orders and checking in on us! I will definitely be adding this place to my list of go to spots! read more

Food was mediocre at best. Service was okay. I believe it was one of the chef's, possibly named Lawrence, is rude and seems to think he is above everyone else. Needs to learn how to speak to people, especially being in a service industry. read more

Worst crab cake I have ever tasted I actually spit it out My cats food tastes and smells better Service .. 10 minutes before greeted at table And we were given bread after our meal was served I'm still waiting for check Flys everywhere ...we left because of the flys and I'm still hungry ...I will get a crab cake to go elsewhere Very disappointing I will never come back here again read more

My friend and I specifically chose this place so that we could sit outside and be safe Covid-wise. Everything online said this was an option; they even have heaters outside. We waited for nearly a half hour after our reservation to get seated since "none of the servers want to serve outside." We finally were able to get seated outside, then after 20 minutes with no waiter in sight -- not even for drinks -- we left. Hostess Jasmine was super accommodating and tried so hard to get us seated and served outside.. but unfortunately everything else sucked. Also worth mentioning that none of the servers were wearing masks inside. We went to Abbey Burger instead: seated immediately, great service and food, and all employees wore masks. Save yourself the headache and go there instead. read more

We were invited to MWT for a lunch meeting and there were both positive and negative aspects of our experience. The cheese platter that started off the lunch featured some tasty selections and the fig jam was a nice counterpoint to the salty cheeses but the bread was stale and no serving utensils were provided. Salad was fresh with a choice of dressings. Main course crab cake was decent but lacked the lumpiness of other local favorites. The broiled tomato stuffed with feta was excellent. Dessert was a mini fruit tart but I would have preferred custard over pastry cream. There were also significant pacing issues with long gaps between courses. read more

Went to dinner here for a friend's birthday (group of 10). We ordered several appetizers which we split. The appetizers were all pretty good. drunken muscles- the broth was delicious. chicken quesadilla- pretty average- what can you expect from a quesadilla? pretzels- warm and very tasty crab dip- generous amounts of crab meat I ordered the MD crab and cream of crab mix soup and a soft shell crab sandwich for my meal. Both were extremely salty. My friend ordered some sort of fish topped with crab meat and she also mentioned that her dish was super salty. They were very short staffed but our waitress was handling it pretty well. We did wait a long time in between drinks, appetizers and meals. For whatever reason, the floor under our table was so tacky our shoes were sticking to the floor. Also, they don't use beverage napkins or coasters, so our drinks and waters were sweating all over the table and it was soaked. read more

Wife and I went to dinner last night celebrating nothing but felt we were due a nice dining experience. We had been there several times and I was never bowled over by the food, nothing bad but never a WOW factor, my wife almost always loved it. The atmosphere is the best thing about the restaurant. Our waitress Samantha was fantastic, and really knew her stuff. My wife and I both ordered a bowl of the Cream of Crab soup, and it was just horrible and this wasn't a matter of personal taste it was just bad, no sherrie in it and was gelatonous to the point it looked like goop. We both sent ours back and believe me, WE NEVER SEND THINGS BACK, EVER! Then my entree came, Sea Scallops over risotto. The Scallops were passable, a bit over done but the risotto had about an 1/8" of oil or butter floating on it....I didn't not send it back because I was hungry. I tipped Samantha heavily as she was perfect. She said the kitchen was crazy busy and apologized profusely about our food. I personally don't think this is the norm for them and I do think they had a bad night but still, that food shouldn't have been served, period. I'll go again and try something different as other reviews are glowing. Sorry Mt Washington Tavern but failed this time.... one last thing, I mentioned tat I tipped Samantha but what I didn't mention was that they added the gratuity .....I've never seen that done on a party of 2, party of 6 of course. I tipped on top of that. Plus they charge more for Credit Card and less for cash. I don't carry 200.00 in cash around.....end of review read more

Short review: Brunches are wonderful. My wife and I loved this place when we were poor newlyweds. The selections are awesome snd unique. So happy I was able to revisit a Baltimore memory. read more

This place has all the makings of being a great bar but it falls short when it comes to food. My coworkers and I came for happy hour and sat at the bar. We got great service! I wish I knew the bartenders name but he was always there when I need another drink. He was extremely polite and gave a rundown of the happy hour specials when I asked for a menu. The tavern is very nice inside. It's very large and I love the fireplaces inside. I also love the outdoor seating upstairs. I'm pretty sure it's a great place to dine in the warmer seasons. Despite the positives, the food was not what I expected. I got a chicken quesadilla and it was very dry and crunchy. One of my coworkers let me try some of their truffle fries and those were even worse. They tasted pretty much like dried up shoestring fries with a mountain of unmelted parmesan cheese. Just horrible. Overall, I like the tavern for happy hour. I am willing to try it again but next time I definitely know what food items NOT to order. read more

Mt. Washington Tavern - Disappointing chicken quesadilla - American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My wife and I decided to stop in without a reservation on a weekend during brunch hours, with our three young children. We were immediately greeted, and taken upstairs to a nice table that was perfect for our family. The bar tender took care of our orders, and was very attentive to our table. We ordered the kids' food with our drinks, and our food shortly after. The kids' food was perfect, and came out in a hurry. Ours came out a few moments later. I had ordered a Half and Half crab soup, a salad, and an order of oysters, and my wife ordered a chili and salad. The food was good, but the soup and chili was a bit luke-warm. No biggie, maybe because we ordered it after the kids' it was sitting out for a few moments. All in all, we would definitely return. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is good. And they were super accomodating of our family of 5 showing up unannounced! read more

Over-rated at 2 1/2 stars. Mediocre at best. Where do they get off being entitled to add a 20% tip to the check on a 2 top? WTF No mention of this policy anywhere, although they do specify the mandatory tip on groups of 8+. I'm a good tipper, just am appalled at this strong-arm approach. Of course, their forcing this on guests lends itself to the servers not giving a crap and ours was the worst. The place wasn't particularly busy, but the waiter ghosted us during our stay. We were obviously ready to go, waited more than 15 minutes and finally had to go to the bar for the check. The prices are absurd, especially given how tasteless the product was. As seafood joints go, this is the bottom of the barrel. I live on the shoreline and can't believe the people of Baltimore support this wreck of a restaurant as passable. People...you are being treated as Baltimoran's here. You could go to ANY other joint and have a better experience. read more

Haven't been here in a few years. Came for a family member's birthday with a party of 6. Service was good, food was ok. I went with the salmon cooked in foil, and they brought it out in the foil (which I thought was a bit strange). But either way, the salmon itself was a bit over done, and I know, cause it was the consistency of my salmon, every time I over cook it. Lol. Still edible, and the chili lime flavor was ok. The carrots and brussels were good, and the mashed potatoes were plentiful. A little bland, but plentiful. Nothing to write home about with this place, but not terrible either. Wouldn't be my first or fifth choice when going out, but I wouldn't object if someone really wanted to go. read more

Twice this week went there and the service is unbelievably slow. Have no idea what the food tasted like due to the agonizing wait. The one star is if you don't mind waiting an hour plus for basic food that a kitchen other than these people can produce in minutes read more

Prime rib night on Wednesday. It was really good. Their wasabi and avocado dressing for their salad needs to be in a bottle it's so good. $5 margarita at the bar all night.

Food was good, server was outstanding, atmosphere nice, but very, very loud and noisy. Hard to keep a conversation with my friend sitting across from me. Decided to keep it simple and get the Tavern Steak, a 16 oz juicy aged NY Strip. Cooked up just right and served with fingerling potatoes and corn succotash. The meal came out relatively quickly and some nice rolls arrived at the same time. Our server kept our glasses full of water, tea and soda, and was right on the ball. The Tavern is a nice place for a meal, a drink, a good time. read more

Great food and great service! Inside was pretty, we were seated upstairs which was partially outside but covered. They had an elevator to accommodate my grandparents so being seated upstairs was no problem! The food was great, we got crab dip, calamari, and pretzels for appetizers and they were all pretty awesome. More than half the table got the fried oysters tacos and everyone loved them. Can't wait to go back! read more

I came to the restaurant alone to watch NBA basketball. The first bartender who was an older who gentleman was extremely nice an gave great service. The younger Afro American served tossed my food and drink away while I went to my car and had no remorse ior apology . I came back to the bar and paid for a meal and drink I didn't get to finish. Why would you toss food away if you haven't been paid for it? read more

Can't wait to go back. I love this ace. Also had the seafood salad with blru cheese. I will say the bleu cheese overpowered the taste of the shrimp & crab. I would recommend getting it without bleu cheese. But otherwise a good salad read more

Wow 2 1/2 stars?? My family and I indulge in Mt. Washington Tavern's pizza (and sometimes subs, etc.) one or two times a month. Everything is always yummy. The service and qualify are consistent and very good, especially considering the price. All in all it's a great family meal at a great price. Always served quickly and cheesy (the pizza). read more

I really want to like this place because it's a nice space, but Mt Washington Tavern seems to always disappoint me in some way. The first time I came was probably last year. I ordered chicken tenders from their late night menu. Quintessential bar food: fried, breaded things. It's not that hard to find a good frozen tender better yet dredge a piece of chicken in flour and drop it in hot oil. These were just old. And not like old grease (which is equally sinful, maybe more so), but just like they had been made an hour earlier. Diasppointed. The next visit was on a date. We had met at Jupiter's for an ice cream (cute right?). We wanted to continue the convo. I prefaced our visit with the fact that I hadn't had a stellar experience before but it was close. We enjoyed wine and crab dip on the rooftop bar area. Not disappointed but it was meh. The last time was a rainy evening for happy hour. There was hardly anyone in there when we arrived at 4ish but somehow we had half-ass service. We asked if we could sit in the couch area instead of directly at the bar because there were 4 of us and we wanted to be able to talk. The guys said yes but didn't tell us we'd have to come back to the bar to order. Annoying, especially getting up mid-conversation. I ordered Tempranillo and the bartender emptied the bottle into my glass (not in my favor) but I thought nothing of it until I tasted it. It was old. A day or two old. At that point I should have given it back but I never want to be that girl. So I took my glass and returned to the sofas. I had everyone taste it to make sure I wasn't crazy. I wasn't. I also ordered cheese curds which were decent but super expensive for fried cheese and on happy hour nonetheless. Half hour later my friend orders the same Tempranillo. We know it's a new bottle because it tastes like it's supposed to. Also they have a free taco bar on Tuesdays; just don't! Disappointed. read more

This was my first visit at Mt Washington Tavern. My co-worker brought a group of us while on a business trip to the area. This restaurant/bar is tucked away a bit, but it's a really big place, a lot larger than you would think from the outside. I believe they had a fire and had to rebuild recently. The restaurant was done really well. Interesting decor, very spacious, tables spaced out with a lot of room around. The wait staff was all very friendly, the service was great, and all the food we ordered was great. I would recommend this place if you have a chance to check it out. read more

Great food, cool atmosphere, friendly service. Large enough to accommodate big groups but not feel lost.

Salmon was not fresh and it was over cooked and dry. Service was slow and upstairs female blonde bartender was an amateur and made drinks with no flavor and tons of ice. This was in February and they had on the air conditioning forcing me to wear my coat as well as other patrons. The front desk was well-coming, but the bar upstairs made it seem like they didn't care because they were getting paid anyway. also, they charge an extra fee to use your credit card. Very disappointed!!!!! read more
