You tell me, where can you get a HUMONGOUS pie for $15 to feed the entire family? This pie is not only inexpensive, but also authetically Italian It's practically a gift from heaven!! I have tried their thin pizza here to go and in house and the quality is immaculately the same. The pick up is always on time and the service is always courteous. If you want great Italian style think pizza this is the place to go!

Jack's Bistro
23 Elliott St
Baltimore, MD 21224
(410) 878-6542
Category: American (New)
Neighborhood: Canton/Highlandtown
Jacks atmosphere is modern and relaxed and laid back. Pub meets American Bristro urban atmostphere.
The burgers are what Jacks is well known for; specially the Blt -Beware this Its not an ordinary BLT, but a little piece of heaven. I could also call it a heart attack on a plate, but I will assume my readers are amazingly healthy and can take this blow to the heart as a treat.
So, here is the amazing concept...what bacon genius might have thought of this powerful tastebud concoction. Immagine an all bacon, no beef pattie served in between a nice brioche bun with lettuce and tomatoe...yes call it a BLT ...call it a burger.... I call it palate insanity!!! The steak burger is also extremely flavourful and moist. You know most steak tends to dry up a little when you make it in a burger...well not this one. I truly enjoyed seating next to the kitchen with my date as we had the opportunity to look forward to try all their other entrees. Their beer and wine choices are extensive and the service quite knowledgiable of the food and drinks. It's exciting how American fair can be made more exciting with Asian Flavors, something the Jack's culinary crew does a superb job at incorporating in their menu. The desert list is sinful and tempts even the most non desert lovers (AKA me). I shared the Smore desert and I think I dream of it at night.
BTW quit immagining the BLT, just go and get yourself one.
Oh and try the mac and cheese with the chocolate dusting...YUM!

Turp's Sports Bar & Restaurant
1317 N Charles St
Baltimore, MD 21201
(410) 347-0349
Categories: American (Traditional), Sports Bars
Neighborhood: Mount Vernon
Great neighborhood hangout that offers tons of weekly specials to blow your mind and inexpensive enough to keep your money in your pocket. There is a pizza night and a burger night and a little bit of everything in between to please everyone's taste. The food , good old confort food, pub fare. No 5 star recipes here, but just good old American favorites to be shared with neighbors and friends. The best part of Turps is the reasonable prices on the fare and the beer specials. Cannot beat that! Unlike the other reviews I have read here, where the service has been predomenantly unfriendly, I have come across some pretty cool waitresses, who are always attentive and chatty. Come in early as the crowds do build up.

Lebanese Taverna
719 S President St
Baltimore, MD 21202
(410) 244-5533
Category: Mediterranean
Neighborhood: Harbor East
Possibly the most horribly overrated and most overpriced placed in Harbor East. I have had good Middle Eastern food in Washington Dc (my closest friends from college were Turkish, Lebanese, Irani and Iraqui) and unfortunately this is a tragic attempt to recreate Lebanese fare Washingtonian style (and at the same cost in Baltimore) here in Harbor East. Just because this two acres of Baltimore are ridiculous overbuilt, it doesn't mean you can charge NYC prices for flavorless dishes and a lack of view (obstruckted by the huge Legg Mason building if you are sitting outside).
At this prices, at this location, and specially flanked by neighbors like Chinghiale, Oceanaire and the Chalerston, dear Lebanese Taverna you need to step up your game! The sex appeal of the interior, and the sad attempt to transform the venue into a hot club with loud Euro trash music around midnight can only take you so far but it soon (15 minutes) gets old too quickly. The service, I must admit aims to please. My dirty martini was made to 007 standards. Unfortunately, all the booze in the world cannot save an overpriced piece of undercooked lamb that is just crying to be saved by some lovely Greek Lady that could cook it to perfection down the street...let's say at Mezze's. Now, if you like to feel "NYC" flashy and don't mind getting ripped off for a subtandard meal, this is your spot.

Sascha's 527 Cafe
527 N Charles St
Baltimore, MD 21201
(410) 539-8880
Category: American (New)
Neighborhood: Mount Vernon
I have been living literally across the street from this place and everyone has been telling me that I need to try this place. I wasn't impressed with their cuisine.
Their atmosphere is absolutely exquisitive, refreshingly spunky and yet sophisticatly romantic. Dimly lit and adorned with splash of colorful yet intriguing art.
The service was friendly yet a little absent minded when it comes to pointing out there is a hair in the tacos. Now their food, nothing to write home about, I had a couple of things from their appertizer menu, the fish tacos and their calamari and everything was well executed specially the calamari's red sauce. As I said nothing to write home about. My date had their Thursday special, wich is their Fried Chicken special. It came with cole slaw, mash potatoes and three large pieces of chicken. She said it was delicious, and she knows her fried chicken so I will take her word of expert on this one, as I tried only a little bitty piece.
Now the cocktails were very tasty, possibly slightly too overpriced for Baltimore Standards, but rest assured that the bartender does know what he/she is doing.
Overall not a bad experience, the tacos should have been written off due to the hair, but the waitress seemed to claim amnesia when we pointed it out. We should try another nightly special to really assess this place. Wenesdays are filet mignon special night. Maybe then...

Never On Sunday
829 N Charles St
Baltimore, MD 21201
(410) 727-7191
Category: Greek
Neighborhood: Mount Vernon
Never on Sunday, as it explesitly says is never open on Sundays, and they are not kidding. Offers an array of fast food. Honestly the menu is vast but this place is entirely inept of great food, everything is barely comestible. In fact I'm of firm belief that this place has been kept alive by the neighboring bar scene. I guess drunk people want fast and oily food and they don't care much about taste.
