    Service and vibes are still great--we went for their 1x:month Wednesday tarot card reading (free with a purchase of a bottle of wine, which are half off on Wednesdays!) and really enjoyed the experience. I like how they have a whole section on the wine menu from the local Old Westminster Winery! However, I have to agree with another recent review that it seems like they're somewhat relying on reputation. I used to loveeee the tacos, and last night they were underwhelming and dry, yet overly greasy. The dino nuggies and caviar was fun for the gram, but lukewarm (just like the crabonara, which also felt overcooked.) The quality of food was just not what I had experienced before. The brownie sundae was tasty but the brownie was also undercooked/tasted more like brownie batter under whipped cream. Hoping the food can get back on track!

    Love sitting on the patio! Food is always good- highly recommend the smash burger! Cocktails always good- Service is wonderful. My dog enjoys hanging at Sally's too. Great neighborhood spot!

    This is the place! They are decorated for the holidays and it is such a vibe. I 100% recommend going to check them out for their holiday cocktails and delicious food. Our server was amazing, she was so nice and funny and had all the recommendations. There was an item not on menu that she easily convinced us to try- the French onion ravioli- and I would go back and get it again and again! We also tried the truffle fries (holy truffle oil Batman!), the carrots over goat (normally feta but we were happy with the replacement), and a classic smash burger.

    This place was decent of always her good thing so I finally had the chance to check it out. Parking was a bit of a struggle, considering the area in the neighborhood. The Smashburger was decent, but it was too overcooked. I would've liked it more on the medium side, but they don't really give you an option for that. The fries were OK but the garlic and everything was super heavy so I couldn't finish my fries. The drinks were good. I really enjoyed the slushy. I would like to go back and try more menu items.

    Came for the Chi Chis takeover. Chi Chis wishes they could work with ingredients this good. The Cancun was an upscaled well deserved upgrade. Staff and service were great and speedy. Bar had the right kind of dive bar feel to it.

    Sally Os will always bring it with the cute decoration and vibes inside. We went for Christmas time and the ornaments were hung great, the specialty cocktails were also so fun! I would highly recommend sitting at the bar if the small amount of tables are all taken we got food up there and had a great time with the bartenders!

    This is a must stop if you are in Baltimore. The service staff is amazing. The place is not very big and they have a full bar. You can eat at the bar if the tables are full. I had the Not Nashville chicken sandwich. It was awesome. We got a Mac& cheese for the table and everyone totally enjoyed every bite. They have Mexican Coca-Cola. If you know then you know what that means. So much better than fountain or can Coca-Cola.

    Birthday cake

    Sally O's was solid. My smashburger lived up to the name because I definitely smashed it. Honestly, my perfectly over easy egg and bacon made the burger itself top tier. If it wasn't for heart disease, I would triple patty that bad boy. Our server cool. My drinks were yummy. I didn't love how dense the birthday cake was but the bourbon ice cream made me smile. Maybe a drunken smile, but happy none the less. I would go back but I will say it's small and cold, so maybe bundle up if it's chilly outside. The door opens frequently and makes the place breezy

    Mushroom toast

    When Sally O's announced they were opening for Sunday Brunch, my friends and I were just like "take my money!" We patron Sally O's somewhat often and absolutely love their food so we were very excited to experience brunch. We made an 11 am reservation just to be safe. Our server, Natalie, was very kind, warm, attentive, and made some great recommendations. We started by splitting the mushroom toast and cheese curds. Both were phenomenal. The trout roe on the cheese curds brought so much amazing flavor. The mushroom toast was heaped with delicious mushrooms and there was a very favorable cream sauce. I went with the lemon ricotta Dutch baby. This thing was a monster but so delicious. The lemon curd with the blueberries that burst with eat bite was amazing. My friends got the chimichangas and the French onion Benedict. Both looked incredibly delicious. As always the service and ambience were great! I've never had a bad experience at Sally O's. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other amazing things in the menu. The salmon toast will be a must next time, I think.

    hands down, one of my favorite restaurant week places! the food is amazing and you get so much! my friend and i split the caesar salad and the tofu for round one, i was pescatarian for 8 years so i know how tricky tofu can be to get right and i'll 100% be ordering that again next time. the smashburger and the pound cake were great as well, i left full and with a meal for the next day. the server was helpful and with us deciding our meal. i'm not sure how many servers/cooks there were but we were there a little longer than planned, we ended up being there for about 3 hours. other than that, the food and setting was great!

    First time dining at Sally O's and definitely not our last! What a hidden gem, we absolutely LOVED our dinner here! Both cocktails were great. I'm not usually a gin fan but the Murder Hornet was fantastic! We started with the Sally's Mac and Cheese and Carnitas Quesa-Tacos. Both were excellent and we'd definitely get them again in the future. I had the CrabOnara and it was loaded with crabmeat! Great flavor. My fiancé loved the Smashburger as well! It was massive and the sauce was fantastic. Those truffle fries were the star of the show! And what better way to end a meal than a slice of birthday cake?! More restaurants should offer that! Our server, Molly, was attentive and friendly! The restaurant itself had such a cozy vibe with all of the lights and decor.

    This burger rocks!
    Christopher S.

    Sally O My what delicious food you have and so playfully decorated! Come here before the art walk or take a special someone to a neighborhood gem. The service is consistently excellent and the food never disappoints. Whatever they have of tempura, get it! Also, what a cute bathroom!

    Wings
    Anna S.

    This spot is so cute! I'm not sure what took me so long to come here. The inside is bright and colorful with fun decorations. The dining area is pretty small with a few tables, one booth, and a bar. They also have some outdoor seating as well. I would describe the menu as elevated bar food. Definitely some hearty options as well as a few salads. On this particular night, they had some specials which looked delicious as well. We got the caesar salad and the wings. The caesar had shaved brussels sprouts and cubed butternut squash making it a really unique take on a caesar. It was delicious - I loved the crunchiness of the brussels. The wings were slathered in a combination sauce of buttermilk, garlic and herbs, green buffalo sauce, and a peruvian yellow sauce. There was a lot of flavors going on! They were good but a little odd. I would've loved the choice to choose one of those sauces as opposed to having them all compete with each other. The service was friendly and fairly fast as well. I didn't have any cocktails but those looked yummy too. I'd definitely return!

The…read morevibes are COOL - this is a great spot to dish out over gossip and have some yummy food and drinks on a Tuesday night! This can also be a nice spot for an edgy date night. The bartenders and staff are friendly and welcoming. The service was smooth. I got the vegan pho hot dog, I LOVE the creative approach! The fried green beans *chef kiss* As a big fan of mac and cheese, I was not the biggest fan of this mac and cheese. I wonder if the Asiago cheese (?) was quite strong, overpowering in flavor, I would recommend a lot of old bay if you order it, or if you like a basier mac and cheese then you will be a fan! Nonetheless, I really like this pub, definitely adding it to my list of cool places I'd show to friends who are coming to Baltimore. I look forward to coming back again and trying other vegan hot dogs on the menu.

There are also some high tops inside and seating outside. I had the Tequila Ronnie which was great-- a little sweet from the ginger beer but overall a great cocktail. My friend had the Negroni which I think is premade (we saw it being poured from the tap). Either way, he said it was good! We didn't get any food this time, but definitely will try something to eat next time!

    Amazing Diner!!!…read more Mad flavor! Great prices! Good service! Nice quantities! Amazing homemade desserts! A must try if you are ever in the area. Also I think they have a name change (Red Cup Diner).

    This place was a one-and-done experience for us. Never again!!…read more My husband and I ended up here after the Dave Chappelle show because our original dinner plans fell through when the restaurant was fully booked. We should have made reservations, but at that point, all we wanted was a decent meal (nothing fancy) after a long workweek and then to head home. Unfortunately, a decent meal didn't happen. The food was some of the worst we've had in a long time. My husband actually spit food into his napkin, shook his head, and said, "I'm done." I've never seen him do that before. Several dishes were simply inedible. The mashed potatoes were bland and flavorless--how do you mess up mashed potatoes? The potato salad was equally bland and disappointing. The French onion soup had very little broth and was overloaded with a thick layer of hardened cheese. Overall, the food tasted cheap and poorly prepared, yet the prices suggested otherwise. It felt like diner-quality food being sold at premium prices. What made the experience even more frustrating was the manager's response. He came to our table after hearing about our concerns, but instead of focusing on the quality issues we raised, he seemed more concerned that my husband refused to order a replacement meal. That spoke volumes about where the priorities were. The one bright spot was our server, who was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. No complaints regarding the server as he was extremely apologetic with our experience. To our surprise, the restaurant also added an automatic gratuity to our bill. Ironically, had that not been done, we likely would have tipped our server more because he was not the problem. The kitchen and management were. No, I didn't complain about the tip after I noticed it on our bill. We were over the experience and just wanted to pay and get the hell out of there. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. We certainly wish we had. Gordon Ramsay, if you're looking for a future Kitchen Nightmares episode, this place could desperately use the help. P.S. A business name change is not going to help with the quality of the food. Do better and prove that you actually care about your customers, not just the $$.

For me, it was several things that was wrong like the presentation (the food don't look appealing, it was kinda sloppy looking), the portions of meat in my jerk chicken consisted of the chicken back And weird parts of the thigh (I have NEVER had chicken backs as ratio of a jerk chicken meal). I also think they can elaborate or prepare their menu / daily specials better), the jerk chicken was EXTREMELY spicy!! Lastly, what almost took me out was that horrible fishy smell coming from my rice/peas and cabbage. It made my food unbearable to eat! Everytime I tried to eat the rice or move the chicken around that strong fishy smell and taste would grab my nose and my stomach! Made me want to ***.... This really pissed me off! The food tasted so weird I didn't eat anymore. Totally waste of money but for me since I didn't pay for this I am not too mad. I did however skip dinner as this threw my stomach way off! If it wasn't for the smell and presentation I think this place could've scored better. I also don't want to take away from a small business serving its community. I hope they can see this review and maybe make changes so their location can get the respect it will deserve. **Please don't take my review at heart, I want you to support this business and give them a try to form your own opinion (if your feeling frogy or rather fishy LoL).
