    Listen I love that the neighborhood has a place to go. The staff here is lovely. The room is super kitschy and there's an outdoor space and several different rooms and it's a really beautiful space. That said the people here who like the Lindsay Lohan martini are wrong. This martini is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever drank and it's oddly pricey, and it makes me sad that people think this is good. The food isn't bad.

    Food was delicious. I had the nachos and burger and they were all delicious. Waiter and staff were very friendly. We loved the decor as well very cute spot.

    The food here is always good. However it is a pretty small restaraunt and tables for parties over 4 people are very limited. Best to have a reservation. Our party of 6 did not have a reservation and ended up waiting about 1.5 hours on a Friday. The hosts seemed a bit overwhelmed with the busyness of the evening - not sure if they just needed some extra hands on deck. Outpost has good cocktails and mocktails. The wings are a go-to for us and the burger does not dissapoint at all. However the star of the show at our last visit was the Brussels sprouts!! Sooo flavorful and crisped up. Highly recommend. Definitely stop by here if you have a reservation or a relatively small party and looking for a tasty lunch or dinner!

    Chocolate Guava Tart

    A quick xmas eve dinner while we were in the neighborhood, we decided to secure some resys while in the area. We were promptly sat upon walk in. Vibes were comfy and cozy, with a neighborhood bar feel where if you're a regular they probably know your name and drink order. Parking is very tricky because this restaurant is in a residential area. My bf got the halloumi carbonara but unfortunately it was quite salty. Not just the crispy halloumi bits but the actual noodles and sauce as well. I got the brazillian picanha and though there was a miscommunication about the meat temp, it was promptly handled and I enjoyed the steak itself. The sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus however were a little weak compared to the steak itself. I can't explain it but the seasoning felt a bit off on the horseradish mashed potatoes. Dessert was excellent- we split the chocolate guava tart.

    I have to go back to try more! We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before a show and were so glad we did! The staff were welcoming and so nice. Our appetizers were delicious! They now are the go to place for my favorite wings!

    Smaller Neighborhood Tavern with a decent size Bar area which is at the front of the restaurant-sectioned dining area with some outdoor seating. Semi-busy on a Friday around 6:30. Parking is a bit tricky given permit only after 6 in the area. Took a chance since ordering to go but would've parked away from the restaurant if we were dining in. Ordered to go and tried a couple of their rotating drafts-Tropical Squall Blonde Ale (Dogfish), Early Riser IPA (Falling Branch). Both were tasty but the Blonde Ale was a bit too fruity for me. Ordered the Burger given the House ground Wagyu and Primal round. Delicious Burger that was cooked to ordered temp-smoked Gouda and truffle aioli took it over the top-dare I say this is one of the top Burgers in the Bmore area! BBQ Beef Ribs (special) caught our eye and didn't disappoint-peach bbq sauce was unique and worked well with the slow cooked Ribs. Outpost Nachos with house fried tortilla chips and chorizo was tasty as well the house made mozzarella sticks (Le Fromage Frit). House made is a recurring theme here which is a good thing! Sat at the Bar while waiting for our order and service was friendly and attentive. As I was leaving, they were getting busy. Cozy spot serving elevated Pub food and not to be missed!

    Softshell Sando w/truffle fries - so good!

    Outpost is a solid brunch spot in Baltimore! Just FYI this place does not offer milk alternatives so keep that in mind. They have a variety of amazing dishes and cocktails (if you don't drink I recommend asking the bartender to whip up a unique mocktail to your liking, they do a great job!). I also suggest seeing what they have to offer for their special menu. I got the Softshell Sando with Parmesan truffle fries which is a special menu item they had at the time. The softshell crab was full of flavor, the tomatoes, lettuce and sauce complemented the dish very well. Vibe-wise you'll get an American bar type atmosphere, nothing special but still comfortable. The service was quick and on point! I would come back to try their other dishes!

    Chicken Littles

    Cozy gem that's almost hidden in Fed Hill. Daily specials and a great Happy Hour. Great drink list with a well trained casual staff. I recommend their Fried Chicken Sandwich.

    Service was great. Food was also pretty good - I definitely recommend the outpost nachos! The hasta luego miguel was also really good if you love spicy margaritas! Serving sizes were pretty big! Place had indoor and outdoor seating - host gave us an option of where to sit

    Nachos
    Chemutai S.

    Nice ambiance, intimate and homey. Food came out slow (it was a sandwich and nachos) and we were one of the few people in there. Other than the fries, the food was a huge miss for me with the overall quality being poor. The service was also lacking (other than the hostess who seemed like she was also handling other responsibilities). Almost felt like an inconvenience to the staff as most of their attention went to talking amongst themselves. When asked for our check for the extremely overpriced meal, we waited some time due to staff behind the bar tasting drinks. Normally, I wouldn't mind waiting but at the time, we were the only customers in there. Had high hopes for this place based off reviews but left very disappointed.

    Uncrustable donuts
    Amber F.

    Completely random outing and I wasn't disappointed. Happy hour specials are decent. I had the chicken slider; a touch dry, but good flavors. Bar staff was attentive and made good suggestions for different cocktails based on what I was feeling. Now, these freaking "donuts". My word. An uncrustable has no business being this good. It's fried and then coated in cinnamon sugar and it's just EVERYTHING.

    Came here on a nice day and sat outside for lunch and a drink. I wasn't in love with the menu but ended up getting the house smoked turkey sandwich and really enjoyed it. The mint cocktail I got was also perfect for a nice warm day outside. I think this could be a good spot for a chill date night due to the quiet atmosphere and good food/drinks.

    Nachos
    Michele M.

    Great location in an elevated neighborhood in the Federal Hill area. Very cozy and the staff was super friendly. Tried some local draft beers. Munched on the Outpost nachos and the chipotle lemon pepper and butter wings. The nachos were amazing! The wings had great flavor but a little on the salty side. Would definitely recommend if ever in the Baltimore Inner Harbor area

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.

I ordered on door dash and picked up my order. They are always nice and friendly and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered what I usually get, an Italian cold cut. I love how the ingredients are fresh and the bread is fresh. I will absolutely order from here again.

It's a little bit tricky to find as the main sign is up as a sign which can be easy to miss. The space is intimate with limited self serve seating. They also have outdoor seating as well. Started out with the Crab Rangoon which was crunchy and crispy, filled with the Rangoon. The neighborhood bird was voted best chicken sandwich in Baltimore and I can see why. The sandwich is on a steam bun which had a sweetness to it. The chicken thigh is large and filling, seasoned well and goes well with the mayo, pickles and herbs. The crispy shrimp bowl came with fried shrimp lying on a bed of basmati rice, some pickled vegetables and herbs. Definitely have to mix all your ingredients together to get the maximum flavor. The Yuzu drinks were refreshing. The white peach flavor was delicious. Overrall the meal came up to $66 with a 20% tip. Seemed like a lot of people order online for pick up. There is no parking lot just gotta find street parking which was not difficult to locate.

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!
