Reviews for HalfSmoke in Baltimore, MD
My family and I were in the Canton area this past Saturday evening close to dinner time. We weren't sure what we wanted to eat... so we looked this place up on a humble. I pull up I go check it out inside it seemed like it would be a good idea. They had music playing and nice bar setup. I noticed a younger 20 something crowd inside. We were seated by the hostess but our servertook like 15 min to get to us. She finally comes over with a bottle of tap water no cups utensils napkins. I.put in a drinkorder and my family put in their food order, but I wanted to look at menu a little longer. The waitress said fine but neverreturned we waited like 20 more min and it wasn't that busy at all! I think the prices are a little too high for the portionsthey give you if you are a tapas type style restaurant just say so!! other than that the service was not good I would have likedto try the food though with that said we just walked out because our server/ waitress lady never came back! I wasn't going towaste my time spending money for that! deuces!?? Read more
Went for brunch on a Sunday. The nostalgia was cute! Food was good and the bottomless mimosas were everything. It did get lit... and turned into a whole party around 2pm! Read more
Music was great. Brussels sprouts were cooked well but missing some depth in flavor. The sausage in the skillet was overcooked... and dry. Half of the mimosa glasses were dirty or had something floating in them. I was really sad because I wanted this placeto live up to the recommendations. Read more
The food was good the environment was fun! Brunch is a great deal. For the young crowd!! Not really for little kids. It's... literally like a party I definitely enjoyed. And it's very nostalgic inside. And beautiful. Read more
What a great brunch experience! I was very hesitant to keep my reservations after reading the reviews but I'm so glad we... did! We sat at the bar since we only had 3 people in our party. Service was prompt, food orders were accurate, and theatmosphere was a PARTY. They kept the bottomless mimosas filled although they could use some more beer options. Our server,Jill was fantastic with checking in on us throughout the experience and we were not rushed out right at the 2 hour mark. Ican't speak to the table service but the service at the bar was outstanding. I can't wait to return! Read more
We had high hopes for this location, as we knew the DC location is amazing having been there before. However, I cannot say the... same for the Baltimore location unfortunately. We made reservations and ended up having 2 extra people than we had originallyplanned for, upon arrival, it appeared to be a huge problem and were told we should’ve called before we came (it was mad emptytables). They offered us to sit in the waiting area for our brunch experience. However after about 15 mins they were able toseat us. After that everything went downhill. Thank God for the great music and games though! Kept us entertained while wewaited for the most mediocre meal I think any of us had ever had. I ordered the WAP (which as advertised, includes a CRAB CAKEand BLACKENED SHRIMP) and when I got it Was so confused because why was it 2 little mini crab cakes like out the Phillips frozenseafood you get at the grocery store? And 3 blackened shrimp. At least the eggs were good tho. Everyone else’s food was mid.I’m still here actually so this is a live review, still waiting for one of my friends meals. We all finished our meals like 20mins ago. They ran out of mimosas maybe an hour ago, and now there is a man walking around offering “free shots” to eachtable which seem to be pure juice. I do not think we will be returning but at least the music and games were nice!!!! I couldhave stayed home and put on a similar playlist and played games and did Uber Eats from cracker barrel and got a betterexperience. But y’all be easy tho!!! Our waitress was really nice and pretty tho shoutout to her!!! ALSO WHY THEY PLAY RKELLY?????? Anyways. I have attached a few photos. We had to battle for ketchup and ask nearby tables for their almost emptybottles bc it was no ketchup to be found. Also here’s how the mimosas started coming out at the end, they were really limitingthem and eventually half filled them up before they ran out lol Read more
This place was a mess. Their service was insane. Our entire visit lasted over 3 hrs. Granted we did get bottomless Mimosas that... last for 90 minutes. But we didn’t intend to stay double the time. The food came out one at a time and not close in timing atall. Waitress was very short with us. Maybe she was just having a bad day? The aurora was different, but it didn’t make up foranything.
