Right here. Authentic. Tacos packed with meat (they do NOT skimp). You can buy freshly made tortillas by the kilo!

Garden American restaurant at Light/Fort. The pancakes and breakfast sandwiches are so damn good

I really miss that no name shawarma place that was a little further up on light that was only open late at night.

It wasn’t “no name” it was Petra Cafe

Oh yeah Petra! They’ve been closed for a long time so I forgot.

It took me a while to remember tbh lol. I wonder if that Israeli dude who owned it still loves trump? He was so excited for him to be President back in like 2015

Joe Bennys little Italy. Thirty seat focaccia pizzeria with Joe himself cooking his legendary meatballs behind the counter. Food is incredible and the owner is a character needs his own reality show.

I actually think their pizza is only so-so, but my god their sandwiches are amazing.

Cozy Corner in Mt Vernon!! It’s a cash only restaurant run by a little old lady. Get the honey ginger green tea and any food item you get is fantastic

Oh man, I was recording at Peabody one morning and randomly went here before hand. It was so good, the lady made our breakfasts to order and it was dirt cheap.

This place is great! Love a chicken salad here. The doorbell when you enter is goofy as hell.

The Local Fry!

OG local fry when it was on cross street was definitely a hole in the wall, but being in the rotunda now I think disqualifies it lol

Mi Comalito rules. Used to pick up lunch there all the time when i lived in station north

love Never on Sundays, used to get it all the time when I lived in midtown! Local Fry is great too along with Mi & Yu which is on the same strip

I don't know if it qualifies, but for me Mekong Delta- sure feels like a hole in the wall buried in the weird dark food court at Charles Towers. They now take credit cards by the way.

I'm sorry for these replies. I don't know what is wrong with the rest of these commenters. The answer is Ekiben. The answer is ALWAYS Ekiben. The rest of you...you bring shame upon your houses. Do better.

glsever t1_j56akjn wrote

Im expecting to get downvoted like crazy. But I find Ekiben decent but also very overrated. In my experience their chicken was greasy and tendon-y, and the sandwich was overall hard to eat. But I know I’m in the minority so I’ll take the abuse lol.

I also feel this way about BRD but maybe that’s for another thread….

Love this joint. The owner is a real dweeb for their craft. I walk up from Remington through the Stony Run trail, it makes for a nice morning.

Simply Marie's or Cafe Dear Leon

essmithsd t1_j554uyq wrote

Simply Marie's, definitely. Cafe Dear Leon has a line down the street half the time, not sure I'd call that a "grab and go" type place. (though it is awesome)

Sugarbabedc t1_j557252 wrote

Lol! I would not call Cafe Dear Leon a hole in the wall. Wish it were one for sure though. I would get soooo chonky on cheap pasteries!

homerunner55 t1_j56hbx2 wrote

Oooooh - I was thinking about the literal size of the place as a "hole in the wall" rather than popularity - oops lol

Chef Bobby D’s in Hampden (or Hoe’s Heights?) on Falls Rd. Seriously underrated soul food and the best mac n cheese in town.

glsever t1_j56a0ta wrote

Overlap of Hampden and Medfield for those who are curious. Residents of surrounding streets typically say they live in Medfield, though the communities’ boundaries overlap and both include 40th and 41st St west of Falls. Fun little Bmore quirk.

Sugarbees in Charles Center, rasta pasta with chicken, and chicken pot pie are so comforting and good.

Burritos at the Cinco de Mayo Panaderia in Glen Burnie.

Tio G's empanadas in Lexington Market. They're made to order, eat them crispy and fresh.

Pitamore yes! Wish that their two locations were a little more spread apart from each other though.

David and Dads is in an awesome location but the food is pretty meh.

Taki's Carryout Restaurant, or on the sign out side, Taki's Pizza. Which oddly, sells no pizza. But go there, get the breakfast combo for under 5 bucks. Add onions to the potatoes. And I swear to God, if you hipsters start making this place busy, I'll be upset at you. But I'd be happy for the owners, Tina and Mo. Who are just the most loveable owner duo.

PS: buy your lotto tickets there. They get like 1% of the winnings.

NE Baltimoron here. Gil’s for pizza. Frank’s on Bel Air Rd for subs and cream of crab soup. Charcoal grill for pit beef (this is technically in the county I know).

Penn & Pratt Restaurant -663 W Pratt (closes about 3 or 3:30pm)

Overlea Diner

Wymen Park Restaurant (under new name?)

Sadly we see the over all list is smaller than in the past. I think this type eatery is just as important as the more posh places.

7h33v1l7w1n t1_j54r6t0 wrote

Wyman Park is now Kay’s Place I think. I want to like it but the menu is kind of expensive and the portions definitely don’t match the price. I’m dying for a no bullshit in-and-out diner in the city though, I was hoping Kay’s Place would be the one

Lost in the 50s Diner in Hamilton. Cheap, fast, friendly and DELICIOUS. But they are closed sun & mon and only open until 4 every other day.

Annabelle Lee Tavern in Canton. Great Maryland/Baltimore/Edgar Allan Poe decor and the food is 👌👌

G&M for a good hot dog or any other diner food. Looks like they recently moved from their long time spot on eastern to Philadelphia rd in white marsh.

GeneSkinner90 t1_j54v3sr wrote

While G&M restaurant on Hammonds lane is great,i think your referring to G&A Restaurant at New Forge rd and Philadelphia rd..i was searching all over and found it. remember reading an article somewhere about the move from Baltimore and was sorry i never visited while they were in the original location.

WinkyTheFrog t1_j54xcdd wrote

Yes you’re right! I even googled G&M and G&A before commenting because I knew both were a thing, and I still wrong the wrong one haha

Big Bad Wolf’s House of BBQ in Hamilton! It’s insane how ridiculous their grilled chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese are. I mean all of it is fantastic but those two are big stand outs.
