    Fries
    Jon F.

    Came inside Cross Street Market for a bite. It was between Steve's or Chicken Lab. My fiancée convinced me to go with Steve's since they're usually closed when we're here. It did not disappoint. This might be my third time here. I usually get the cheesesteak lunch special that comes with a drink and fries ($13). I'm glad they were busy because the staff appears hard working and the food here is very good. The cheesesteak roll was soft and chewy, and the oils and grease did not seep through. I got onions and provolone and as you can see from the photos, the sandwich was hot and fresh, with a nice stretch from the cheese. The fries had a nice color, crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. This meal hit the spot. There is plenty of seating inside CSM. Come to Steve's for a great satisfying meal at a reasonable price.

    It's meh. The set up, service, and food are just meh. The prices aren't that crazy considering the food is less than average. The hamburger was dry and seemed like it had died in a freezer months ago. There was a decent attempt made on the sausage egg and cheese on wheat. I could have just gone over to the crepe woman and had something fire. It's nothing to write home about but will keep you from starvation.

    No fuss, no frills, just an older man and his griddle cooktop. You get your order in and you leave in an exchange of few words. Steve's Lunch is far from glamorous, but it is fast, and when you just wanna walk down the street with burger and fries in hand before you get back to your shift, Steve's has your back with some of the thickest kaiser rolls I've seen. It actually works great, since all of the mess you'd get with a weaker bun is contained by the roll; this is, in a word, perfect stroll snacking. It's the cheapest food in the entire Cross Street Market, too, which is probably its niche. I can't hate it, but I wish the fries were seasoned a bit more evenly. At least I got my money's worth from one of the few mom and pop-style places left in the downtown area.

    What you might expect for a quick diner bite. I got the egg, bacon, and hashbrown breakfast. The price was excellent- $8.48! The customer service was great. The meal was cooked fresh to order and didn't take long to prepare at all. The hash browns were delicious. The bacon, a bit salty. The eggs were very bland. I would ask them to put seasoning on them next time. Easy, breezy breakfast in the Cross Street Market.

    I feel silly giving any sort of review for a business I only bought a homemade unsweetened ice tea from (it was a hot day and yes it was a damn good tea!). But for those who loved this place in the past and would appreciate an update, or else for those interested in checking it out for the first time, I'm here to share a photo of their latest menu (late June 2022)

    The food at this location is on point, if you are in to American fried food. They give large portions for the price as well. I had the cheesesteak and fries and was impressed. The bread for the sandwiches is very good!

    You can't find nicer people. Breakfast and lunch very affordable and just what you expect. 52 years, a neighborhood standard.

We visit Baltimore every summer for a music fest but this was our first year stopping by but best believe we will be coming back for years to come for as many Tony Bolognas and pizzas as we can handle. Service was also exceptional. So freakin good 100/10

The crust and sauce as it should be, the cheese, just enough and the pepperoni had just enough bite! Recommended! We took home a couple of rice balls (arancini) and they were okay. I've never seen yellow rice in a rice ball, nor a meatball used as the center. It's usually ground beef, a little sauce with peas. It was odd to me though the marinara they gave with this was really good. Maybe this is how rice balls are made here in Baltimore and that's okay, it's the only reason I knocked a star off. The fellow behind the counter was very nice and helpful, there is not a lot of room to sit, but we had room. A good sign that during our visit an employee of the Department of Health had his lunch there. A good sign that it's clean in the kitchen (it was definitely clean out front.) Recommended for the pizza. We'll be back.

Parking was a little challenging but nothing to deter me from stopping. I went on a Saturday around 1 pm and it was PACKED!!!! Seating is limited so be prepared to grab takeout at peak hours! Upon walking in, I noticed how vibey it was! All of the staff greeted me and everyone was just really happy to be there. The restaurant was so cute and eclectic, but again, very packed! We were hungry lol. I told the staff member that it was my first time there and he gave me a few recommendations. After reviewing everything, I settled on the tempuras Broccoli and the Neighborhood Bird Bun. Service was very quick and they had us in and out of there. They even had stickers for us to grab! Food: Tempura Broccoli-first few bites were amazing. Then I got to the bottom of the box and the house made vinegar threw off the texture for me as they became soggy so I didn't get to finish them. Overall, they were solid but if you do not like vinegar and have texture issues, they're not for you. I'll give them a solid 3 out of 5. Bun: the bun definitely met my expectations. The chicken was huggggeeee and likely was a chicken thigh, which was a good touch. Ur was juicy and fried to perfection. The herbs provided a well balance and the bao bun was everything. I smashed!!! I would definitely go back and try a different bun. Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars!
