    Catfish sandwich in the back. Wings on the left with brisket on the right
    Mary G.

    Everything we ordered was fantastic! Catfish sandwich with BBQ black beans, brisket, wings and collard greens. We are from Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi so we love this kind of food. Service was fast and efficient. 5 stars!!

    Smoked Wings
    Dominique D.

    We found this location on Instagram and definitely wanted to try. I'm so happy we did. We were greeted with top tier customer service! We were provided with recommendations on favorite dishes. We ordered fish, bbq baked black beans (THEY ARE MY FAV!) , yams, Mac and cheese and grilled wings (too good! Omg!). This place is truly a gem! I encourage you to stop by for some good eats and great customer service! You won't regret it!

    Was very excited to find this black owned barbecue restaurant minutes from my home. I was greeted when I walked in. They have a nice amount of seating inside the restaurant and a nice patio area outside, perfect for when the weather is nice. Although I wanted to order everything I started with just the Catfish sandwich and two sides. The fish was very well seasoned and came with a bag of chips. For the price I wish it included a little more like lettuce, tomato or cheese as options for the sandwich. I also got the Mac n cheese when was pretty good and the yams because they were out of cabbage. I will definitely be back to try the bbq soon!

    What a welcomed replacement of Woodrow's! I hadn't been in the area for quite a while and was unaware a new place nestled into this location! Decided to check it out! Service was friendly. Their frozen drinks, absolutely amazing! The size for the cost is awesome as well! I had a kiwi apple and we got the strawberry I think watermelon it was. Very very tasty! We grabbed a 2 meat item with sides and a brisket sandwich which was good but for me personally, I like a leaner cut of brisket. I may see if that request can be satisfied next time. The place is similar to Woodrow's with the chalk board and the overall layout! I will most definitely return!

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Justin B.

    5,5,5! We were out and about visiting customers and did not know where to go. I went on Yelp! And looked around. I saw BBQ, my favorite food. So we headed over. The location of this spot is great. It's such a cute little area for a couple blocks that have all types of trendy stuff. Like a little triangular neighborhood. Guy at the counter that served us was super friendly and helpful. Love the decor here and the outdoor tables are great. The food was absolutely delicious. If you like BBQ you gotta try it. I got pulled pork and my coworker got the brisket. The BBQ sauce was perfect. I'm a sauce guy. So I know.

    Baked beans
    Jen S.

    Simple, straightforward BBQ joint where it's done right! Tim is awesome and the food is wonderful. Ribs are amazing, pulled chicken, cabbage if they have it, broccoli....baked beans! It was all fantastic! Cornbread muffins too! It's small, and does a lot of carry out but we enjoyed a lovely meal on the porch, even though it was raining.

    1/2 Rib Meal Catfish Nuggets
    Justin I.

    5 stars my meal was delicious and received great service , everything is great here so whatever your in the mood for on the menu you cant go wrong I ordered pork ribs, coleslaw , baked beans and catfish nuggets my don got pulled pork , fries and yams , also the strawberry lemonade is probably the best I ever had. There are a few tables inside and picnic tables outside to demolish your meal its pretty small inside but this is a real deal bbq joint .You can order at the counter they also have a kiosk to order from.I will be back soon.

    Posted menu for day but additional items on printed menu

    Decided to come here for my sister and I monthly lunch date. The customer service was great! There's limited seating inside and also outside. Now onto the food. The catfish was delicious, seasoned and fried just the way I like it. The Mac and cheese had great flavor and cheesy. It's made with shells instead of elbow pasta. It held the cheese sauce well. The cabbage was good had a down home flavor. My sister said the pulled pork was good but she liked my catfish more. She also liked the candied yams. They also have slushies and my sister got the peach one which she really like. Overall it was a great choice. Will definitely be back.

    Pickles and a lesson in focusing the camera.

    When the previous bbq place at this location closed, I was fairly sad. There's not a lot of good spots to pop in for lunch. So, I was really excited when this place popped up in that location. It honestly looks identical to the old restaurant, and I suspect someone just took it over. The menu is seemingly the same. I ordered a pulled pork bbq sandwich platter, with fries and mac. It also comes with pickled veggies and a bag of crisps. The sandwich came quickly and was slathered with bbq sauce. The sauce is a bit sweet for me -- honestly it reminds me of "sweet baby ray," and I would not be shocked to find out they're using it -- but it was tasty. The pork was flavourful, though I do wish there was something else on the bun, too. The mac was fantastic, and you can taste the cheeses in the mix. Gouda, I think? Whatever, it's good. It's really rich and I couldn't finish it. Wimp. The pickles are the best part, though they're spicy. Overall, a nice addition to the Mt Wash area.

    Brisket sandwich
    Jasmine R.

    I checked out this newly opened bbq spot for lunch today with a friend. It's a very small operation in which the owner both takes the orders and cooks. He was extremely kind and greeted my friend and me as soon as we walked in. Our food came out pretty quickly (in about 10-15 minutes). I ordered the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese as a side, and my friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. The first bites of our meals were heaven. I found the meat to be well seasoned and extremely tender. I loved the bbq sauce and wish I had ordered a little extra for my sandwich. It was quite warm in the restaurant, but the heat is honestly miserable everywhere right now so I'm not sure how much of that is on the owner. All in all, it's a great spot for a delicious meal, and I would come back!

    Love this place! THE BEST food! Brisket, chicken, pork,…read moresausage - it's so hard to choose, because they are all SO good. Friendly, helpful servers; comfortable booths, tables, bar seating. Reasonable prices. Always glad we went!

    I recently returned to Heritage Smokehouse and it was better than it's ever been before. Don't get…read moreme wrong, it's not like it was ever not good. But I do think the sauces and sides have been lackluster in the past. Not this time! I was pleasantly surprised to see about five or six different sauce options including an absolutely incredible "White Lightning" sauce. SO good! I remember in the past there being literally just BBQ, hot sauce, and mustard so it's nice to see there being more of a variety. The sides I tried including the beans and coleslaw were also delicious. I remember the coleslaw being good in the past but for whatever reason, this one just hit different. It was perfectly seasoned and went well with the brisket and white lightning sauce. Did they change the recipe or am I just losing my mind? I'm not sure but my stomach was definitely happy either way. My boyfriend also mentioned how the mac and cheese was much better than before and although I didn't try any myself, it even LOOKED better than previous versions. The cheesy sausage was delicious as usual, the brisket was moist and fell apart, and the wings were perfectly cooked and slathered in a delicious buffalo sauce. OH and the drinks? So good. If you like tiki-inspired stuff, you'll love their menu. Is there someone new back in the kitchen working some magic or did I just really miss coming here? I'm not sure but it was one of the best meals I've had here so far and I will definitely be returning!

    They are in business for so many years because they do meat right…read more Had to come here after many trips to Baltimore previously and never eating the holy grail, a PIT BEEF sandwich More than roast beef on a roll. Delicious. Smokey

    I travel to Baltimore often for work, and when two completely separate people tell me I need to eat…read moresomewhere, eventually I'm going to listen. In the case of Chaps Pit Beef, I've now listened twice. First, the setting deserves its own star. There's something wonderfully Baltimore about pulling into a place famous across the country for pit beef, sharing the immediate surroundings with a strip club, and knowing you can shop for used tires across the street when you're finished. Add the walls of awards, television appearances, photos and decades of accumulated lore inside and the whole thing feels less like stopping for lunch and more like making a small pilgrimage. And that's part of why I'm struggling with Chaps. I've tried several of the sandwiches across my two visits. I've piled on the raw onions, pickles and sauces. I've ordered too much--which feels both heroic and completely appropriate here--and walked away convinced that Chaps is very good. But I haven't found my five-star Chaps order yet. The pit beef itself is clearly the reason for the pilgrimage, and the condiment station is part of the experience. Beef, raw onion and that horseradish-heavy Tiger Sauce is a combination I could happily keep attacking. But then you look around at the menu and realize you've barely scratched the surface: beef, sausage, corned beef, turkey, enormous combinations of all of the above, gravy fries, homemade sides and sandwiches carrying names and reputations of their own. It's almost overwhelming. That's ultimately why I'm leaving Chaps at four stars--for now. There's a five-star experience hiding here. I can feel it. I'm just not convinced I've ordered it yet. Next visit I'm stripping this thing back before building it up again: pit beef medium-rare, raw onion and Tiger Sauce as the control. Then I'm going in the opposite direction with one of the ridiculous combinations--probably Guy's DDD--and finally giving the gravy fries their proper opportunity. If that unlocks what generations of Baltimoreans and seemingly every food television personality already know, I'll happily come back here and move this to five stars. If after three visits I'm still admiring the institution more than craving the food, maybe it moves the other direction. For now: Chaps is absolutely worth the stop. The food is good, the history is real, and the atmosphere couldn't be manufactured if someone tried. I just haven't cracked the code yet. Four stars, with one more trip pending.

    Pig and Rooster has the BEST mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Like ever. They come out piping hot…read moreand the cheese pull is always insane. If you ever visit, do not skip the mozz sticks. They come with a marina sauce but I swear you don't even need it. Their normal Detroit style pizza is bready and yummy, but the New Haven style is thin and so crispy. You can't go wrong with either. They also have good salads and super crispy chicken tenders. I only wish the breading was seasoned as they taste a little bland. On the other hand, I find the pepperoni a little too salty but overal the pizzas are usually well balanced. Service is attentive and quick and the place gets packed but there is plenty of outdoor seating when the weather is nice! Such a good neighborhood spot for a happy hour or dinner!

    Was in Baltimore for a show at Creative Alliance (highly recommend checking out Get Mortified --…read morefantastic show!) and stumbled across Pig & Rooster... and wow, what a find. This is the kind of neighborhood bar you instantly want to make a staple every time you are in the area. Chill vibe, and absolutely phenomenal Detroit style pizza. Our group tried four different pies and every single one knocked it out of the park: crispy edges, great toppings, perfect dough. The bartender was awesome too, super attentive and even shared a good laugh with me about a couple of the signs around the bar. It made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you are in the neighborhood, or honestly, even if you are not. Pig & Rooster is worth the detour.
