    I chose to wfh here in a Friday and the space is small and cozy. The sandwich I had was very good and I'd definitely come back to work again. I enjoyed being able to sit at the window and watch folks walking around the neighborhood. The employees were so nice and willing to chat in down time. I asked for suggestions and they all have me their faves on the menu and I went with the tuna melt!

    Side of Bacon
    Kymbaly W.

    I ordered my food through DoorDash and when I received it, it was still warm which I appreciated it. The bacon is thick cut and salty, just how I like it. That made the sandwich even better because the bacon was thick cut and not the regular bacon others serve. The croissant was soft and flaky and I appreciate how the cheese was melted to perfection. I really enjoyed my sandwich and would order it again. The hash browns unfortunately were not seasoned at all. Very bland! I had to add salt and pepper, reheat it and then add ketchup. They gave me a big portion but they weren't good. I can make them better at home. Over all I would order the breakfast sandwich again. Maybe I'll try something else at another time.

    Cute local spot!

    OMG Baltimore!!! What the flip is going on On this Hill Cafe! Yes it's cute, trendy and has all the artsy type coming in and out. I swear I'm on a movie set. But then I tasted the food! And it's even better than the great and fast service and the cool aesthetic! I thought I was coming for waffles but I didn't see them on the menu (my bad). So I opted for morning cachapas w scrambled eggs and plant based chorizo! My mouth was singing - don't ya know!? It was sweet, savory, buttery goodness in my mouth! The corn cake took away any waffles craving I could have started off with and the chorizo is nothing I ever tasted- I just wanted more! I want another breakfast ASAP- I can't wait to try their other items and this place is my new BMore fav

    SO MUCH CHEESE EW

    Ordered the capaches on Grubhub. It arrived cold and covered with a TON of nasty cheese, like probably 6 slices of cheese. Soaked in oil completely gross

    Asada Tacos, steak
    Karol M.

    I've worked at MICA for 15 years and have always loved On the Hill! In fact when I first started, I would go almost everyday and then realized that wasn't healthy for my budget. I had the tacos Asada with steak and they were delicious! Meat was flavorful and juicy. Only thing is that there were so many juices that by the time I got to my second and third taco, the tortilla had fallen apart. On the Hill closed during the pandemic and re-opened a few weeks ago with a brand new look and menu (it's now a full-Latinx menu). I have to say that I miss the personal touch and being able to talk with the workers; everything is now electronic/computer but it's also limited with custom options. I ate there today and my coworker doesn't like avocado, made a note in her order, but it wasn't followed and still got avocado. I just hope their able to move the needle to be a little more personable and customer-oriented.

    The Zola
    Kenita W.

    I stopped in for a quick luck. I ordered online so my sandwich was hot and ready when I arrived. I got the Zola Chicken Sandwich and it was so good. Would definitely go back.

    On the Hill (OTH) was my 'go to' spot for many years (nearly a decade). I could always count on this spot to provide delicious treats/ meals, without fail. Once the pandemic hit, things changed drastically. They shut down for quite some time. Then reopened as a Latin 'to go' eatery. That didn't last long. They shut back down and stayed down for a while. Now OTH is back. The menu has been pared down quite a bit and some of my fave offerings are no longer available. That aside, I'm still loyal so I decided to try the... Everything Bagel & Lox: Toasted Everything Bagel, Cream Cheese, Tomato, Bermuda Onion, Cucumber. Capers. This preparation came chock full of delicious ingredients. The onion used was red onion and not Bermuda... but aside from that, the bagel was stacked nicely. I was excited to destroy this once I got to my destination. Once unwrapped and I took my 1st bite, I couldn't bite all the way thru the bagel. I thought it was a 'fluke' so I tried a different area. NOPE! The ENTIRE bagel was inedible. The inside was soft like dough and the crust (top/bottom) was hard as a rock. Not even crispy pretzel hard but ROCK HARD. Evidently, this bagel is stale and/freezer burned. I couldn't bite through. I tried scraping the toppings and it was incredibly messy. I ended up dropping pieces and just got frustrated. As u can see in the pics, the entire bagel is till there, petrified for the earth to never be able to breakdown. What a shame. What a waste. What a disappointment. And what makes matters worse, is I can't even contact them. They have no working phone. I don't understand how such a formerly well oiled machine has missed the mark on so many levels.

    I found this restaurant on YELP. Ordered through YELP and got a refund through YELP or whatever ordering system they have. ONE STAR because not only is the restaurant CLOSED CLOSED, THEY STILL TOOK MY ORDER, TOOK MY MONEY, GAVE ME A PICKUP TIME AND NOBODY CONTACTED ME ABOUT ANYTHING. So of course when I pull up to the location I am confused to as why there's a closed sign on the door, the chairs are turned upside down on the tables and no one is inside. I call customer support and they refund my money, but of course it is going to take 3 to 7 business days to return. Someone had to except the order and start the process for me to get any of those notifications. They could've easily cancelled the order without me having to go through this process of waiting to get my money back when they knew they had been closed for a while now.

This back corner of the market has a bit of a retro club vibe with some TVs playing movies for you to enjoy if you choose to eat at the bar or any tables back there. My boys got a basic burger built to their specifications. Child #1 is vegetarian and lucky for him, they do offer Beyond Burger patties as an option. I opted for the fried chicken sandwich, which wasn't too bad. Crispy coating, but I felt the chicken was a tad dry. Fortunately they had a nice sauce to compliment it. The fries were average. You can opt for a variety of dipping sauces, which is a nice touch. The service is as fast as possible for made-to-order and the prices are okay. If you're in the market and want a burger (or cheesesteak, BLT, chicken sandwich, etc.), this is a decent place to stop in.

I addressed the issue with one of the workers or possible bar back who said that he would send someone out to speak with me. We waited about 15 minutes and no one came. I decided to go in and the general manager Dan came to speak with me. I felt very dismissed, he expressed that the rock probably came from the potato, honestly I was understanding that things like this happen as I also work in service. It was the way he responded to me, as he said "ok and what do you want me to do about it" there was no apologies or I'm sorry this happened. I wasn't asking for him to comp my entire meal, but the least he could have done was apologize and or discount the meal or one beverage. I mainly addressed this issue to make them aware, and I honestly wouldn't have written this review if Dan the general manager was one, polite and two the least bit apologetic. I walked out feeling dismissed and irritated. Better sub your fries for salad unless you would like an unexpected trip to the dentist.

This is one of the biggest food markets in the city outside of Lexington market - I was glad to see it was so busy on a Friday evening. They have ample seating and restrooms and the staff at Southside Burger were really friendly. The wings were fine, but I really loved the onion rings and the simple cheeseburger. Everything is plastic and paper plates all disposable because it's a food hall so it's a very casual, as you go environment I was surprised to see so many families.

Cross Street is one of my favorite markets in the city (probably behind Lexington), and I randomly stopped at Southside not really knowing what food I had a taste for. I ordered a double cheeseburger (customized my way), and fries, and my total was about $15. I think that's fairly average these days, on top... it was actually good. Like there was a ACTUAL cheese pull when you bit into the burger. It was HOT and fresh when I took the wrapper off my burger; just overall, gave an actual grill taste. As other reviews stated, the business provides plastic, paper, and overall disposable utensils and plates and when I'm back at Cross Street, I know exactly where I'm going to get a burger, a beer - and probably some onion rings now, now that I know they're a fan favorite!
