    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
    Farah K.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Nachos

    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.

    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

    The Chicken Sandwich & The Burger are out of this world! The service was prompt molli was our server, it was about 12 minutes from seating to eating. The bread pudding w/ ice cream was a nice finisher! It's this low lit homey bar/restaurant kind of atmosphere. And the mac & cheese... is unforgettable!

    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.

    Been here several times and they always deliver! The tin nachos are always a hit and we usually get it as is. This time we wanted to substitute the chorizo for a non pork protein and chicken was offered but with a surcharge. When we did get the dish there was very little chicken in there. I also tried the crab patty (on the specials menu). This was a well done burger! The fries were also great. We tried 4 or 5 drinks and they were all fantastic. This was the first time that we noticed a new surcharge of 3% on the bill, which can be very easy to miss and we weren't notified about this ahead of time. Otherwise great experience.

There is some signage about the poet himself. We started of with the "cheese dip" which is an interesting way to describe a pretzel appetizer. But boy howdy, the cheese dip was enormous, which complemented the salty, buttery pretzels perfectly. The stuffed lamb was pretty reasonably priced and came with spinach and potatoes. Both that and the strip steak were a bit heavy on the sauce though, but otherwise, great dishes. Don't forget to swing by the bathroom. I just really like the posters in the hallway.

The dinner option was generous with 2 delicious crabby mounds, and two sides which I did not want, but I was able to sub out others. Nice! The old fashioned wasn't much to look at, but man o man... it was actually pretty good and a reasonable price. I had a couple as I'm not one to pass up cheap drinks. Service was spectacular too with our waiter joking around with us and taking good care of us while we dined after a conference. If you're in Baltimore and near the convention center (or the Orioles Park), this place is worth a stop if you're in a crab cake mood and don't want to venture to the Inner Harbor for something a little more upscale.

We stopped by around 5 PM on a Saturday before an Orioles game, so as expected, the place was extremely busy and had a lively pregame atmosphere. The beers were good, but unfortunately, the food is what brought my rating down to three stars. The fries tasted a little stale, and I ordered the smash burger (forgot to grab a picture), which was pretty average. I've definitely had much better smash burgers elsewhere. We also tried the chicken fingers, which were very basic and reminded me of typical ballpark food, not bad, but nothing memorable or something I'd crave again. Overall, Pratt Street Ale House is a solid spot for drinks and the pregame atmosphere, especially if you're heading to an Orioles game. However, based on the food we tried, I probably wouldn't come back specifically to eat. I'd recommend it more as a pregame drinks spot than a dining destination.

We immediately asked the hostess for a different table. She told as that the three booths and the six other two-tops were all reserved. She left us with no attempt at an apology and promptly put reserved signs on all the open tables. When we left an hour later, one booth and 4 two-tops had never been used. Much to our dismay, we saw people seated outside even though we had received a text before arriving saying the patio was closed for the evening. To add insult to injury, even half empty, the noise level was so uncomfortable since everything was tile, marble, or wood that the alarm sensor on my smart watch sounded because of the decibel level. We will not be back.
