Home fries perfectly cooked, omelette I added peppers onions & cheese.. Great taste with everything.. Restaurant was clean & not a lot of people dinning in.. Service was great.. The host greeted me as soon as I walked in.. I do recommend if you're in the area & looking for a nice breakfast ”
“ We walked in here this morning and had a wonderful experience. First timers! The people are wonderfully kind, it's a small, quiet diner-like atmosphere with great and quick service, and the food is great! They brewed a fresh pot of coffee for us, our danishes were delicious, and then our MEALS!! Wow! Husband got the French toast sandwich special with scrambled eggs, bacon, and provolone and the sandwich bread was thick and delicious French toast. He loved it! I got the two egg platter. My eggs were cooked perfectly and I had wheat toast, and homefries with onion. We enjoyed ourselves much and are looking forward to coming back! ”
“ Staying at a nearby hotel and dropped in for breakfast but ended up ordering a grilled Cloak and Dagger sandwich. Heavy on the Russian dressing, which I like! Simple side of chips and pickle spear. Priced right. Feels like a family run place and everyone was very nice. Not fancy but comfortable and relaxed. Help yourself to a second cup of coffee.The menu options are mind boggling, hard to choose. I'm headed back for tomorrow's breakfast which say they are doing something right! ”
“ It's been a long time since I've been in Baltimore. I travel for work. So I always try to find a local place to eat. This team has been there for over 20 years and the business goes back to the 70's. A great breakfast & Sandwich spot. Fresh real bread on the cheese steak. Diced up tiny like they do in great East coast spots. Huge selection of sandwiches. I asked the locals I was working with for a local spot. This was a great the recommendation. The prices are low for the amount of food they give you. Reminds me of the great local sandwich shops in Chicago/New Jersey /Nyc. Really nice family business that clearly servers the Baltimore community well with fair prices and great service. ”
“ I was told this place is a hole in the wall but that they have really good food, and upon seeing the place I will admit I was a little skeptical. Once we actually got our food, I was very pleasantly surprised! I haven't eaten much Greek food in my life, so in all fairness, I don't really have a lot to compare this to. When we arrived, we asked the woman taking orders what she recommends or what is popular among customers. She began to list off several items, including their shrimp salad and cheesesteaks. We eventually went with her recommendation of the chicken souvlaki with everything, which included chicken, tomatoes, red onion, and tzatziki sauce wrapped in a warm pita. We also ordered a side of fries. Everything was DELICIOUS! The chicken wasn't dried out and well seasoned. I'm not sure how "authentic" it was or how it would compare to other tzatziki sauces, but I absolutely loved it. It did not include any cucumber (which I thought was a key characteristic of tzatziki), but it was really garlicky and yummy all the same. The pita was fluffy and garlicky as well - it was probably my favorite part of the entire thing. I took a few bites of it on its own towards the end of my meal, and I was really disappointed I hadn't done it sooner. The fries were nice as well - they had some other seasoning on them beyond salt, which I always appreciate on my fries. They were on the thicker side and not very crispy, so if you like a crunchy fry these may not be for you. I am partial to soggy fries, so I really enjoyed them. I took a star off because I found the chicken pieces a little too big for eating in a wrap form like that, and they could have been more moist. There was also a lot of the tzatziki sauce, and I can see where some people might find it too much. I welcomed it as some extra dip for my fries, but it did make eating the pita a little difficult as I navigated around a glob of sauce. I'd like to come back to try some of the rest of their menu (it's HUGE - they have just about everything), but I'm also already jonesing for more of the chicken souvlaki. It's definitely a good stop for a lunch (TBD on breakfast!). ”
“ Came here for breakfast while I was in the area for a conference. They had a nice menu for breakfast. I ordered a veggie omelette and added turkey sausage. The meal came with home fries and toast. It was a ton of food, but was hot and fresh and delicious! ”
“ I've been coming to Kirbies since the early 2000's. The family that runs this spot are extremely professional and friendly. They manage the kitchen well and you will not have to wait long even during a busy lunch rush. Prior to Covid I used to love eating in the cozy dining room, which is still open, but obviously you have to decide your own risk tolerance as you are right next to the hospital and people obviously eat with their masks off. The menu is large, but everything is well prepared. You will find a mix of traditional Greek diner food and American sub shop selections. Breakfast is a smaller menu but everything is fantastic. The daily specials are posted outside and inside and on their website. I highly recommend the Gyro or chicken cheesesteak. They have a wide selection of fountain and bottled drinks. They have a limited selection of desserts and pastries including homemade baklava. Personally, I dislike chips, and always upgrade to french fries. But the specials will sometimes be with chips or french fries based on the pricing. Overall a great choice for lunch! ”
“ This is an unassuming Greek owned sandwich shop near UMMC. They have daily and weekly specials here and one of the most expansive menus I have seen (you could spend your entire lunch break staring/choosing something). We tried the classic gyro and the chicken schwarma. They were both tasty and filling (I personally preferred the classic gyro, as I usually feel chunks of chicken breast are not as flavorful). Its a good place for a quick stop for breakfast or lunch. ”
“ Greek sandwich shop a block from University of,Maryland Baltimore. Despite COVID, the couple running the place were incredibly gracious Takeout only for now. Open at 7 am and bagels were terrific, and different. Softer and a bit bigger than usual, more bialy than bagel, toasted crisp and cream cheesed up (plain only). Good food with an individual twist and a smile. ”
