Abbey Burger Fells Point — Restaurant in Baltimore

It’s unfortunate that a place with delicious food and burgers that I would want to order again, is still stuck in the segregation era. My friends and I (I am white and my two friends are black) came for a late lunch around 3pm, the restaurant was relatively empty as to be expected before the dinner crowd comes in. Our one friend got there BEFORE us and was already seated, and the hostess in the front told us he was in the back seating area. This back seating area was partly closed off and if you were to walk by the place, it is not easily visible to the eye unlike the rest of the restaurant that is wide open and visible to a person walking by. We walk back to our friend and notice another table with two people of color sitting. As we are enjoying our time together, another table is seated, three people of color, in the same back seating area. Passing by empty tables in the front. The restaurant begins to fill up, groups of people are seated in the front, even with empty tables in the back seating area where my friends and I are. The common theme of the tables in the front, you guessed it, all white tables. As we were leaving, we even had a brief conversation with the other table as they noticed it as well. You could be basically blind and notice the pattern, it was that obvious. Now with it being 2024 and still having some hope in humanity, I really hope this act was not driven by race but unfortunately I do not believe that is the case here. I hope this establishment has their staff reevaluate and move forward with practices that make anyone who walks into their restaurant feel welcome. We need to hold each other accountable, learn from it, and do...

Google review here I come!!

So, I chose this place for a family meet up because they were listed last year for being the number one Burger place in Maryland according to MSN! More than half of my family love love love's a great Burger.

I called prior to arriving to see if I can make a reservatiom, they don't take reservations. I still let the manager know what time I would be coming in and with how many people just in case.

Welp, everything went perfectly. Although I didn't have a reservation we were able to seat our party of 13 immediately upstairs and had the entire upstairs to ourselves.

We were assisted by several staff members and sadly I didn't get all of their names but our main table person was Riley. Riley was so awesome. Raleigh did each and everything that they could to make sure we were satisfied and didn't want for anything and Lord knows we wanted everything.

We ordered a lot of stuff but this is what I remember. Spicy Korean Duck Burger (lettuce wrap instead of bun, add sunny side up egg) Build Your Own (Angus, Bacon, Chipotle) Crab Tots Giant Bavarian Pretzel Abbey Wings (Old Bay & Buffalo) Build Your Own (Angus Burger w Tater Tots) Side of Ceasar Salad Baltimore Burger

Each and every person that got a Burger loved it whether it was angus, duck or turkey! They were all hits! All the appetizers were delish as well !!

Needless to say, everything was perfect! Great customer service, great food, non existent wait time, and a clean environment! We had such a great time, my family members were thanking me all day for the recommendation.

This location has gained 13 new customers! Thank you Riley! We...

We ate last night at the location in Fells Point. Don't go there without a reservation if your party is more than 2 or 3. We waited for over an hour and a half in the cold. Because the interior is so small, there was no room inside for us to sit and wait. Because parking in Fells Point is a nighmarish experience, we had no choice but to wait outside. It wouldn't have been an issue except temperatures were below 60 degrees at the time. There were 2 large parties similar to our own in there that we were waiting for them to finish and leave. Despite having finished their meal and having paid, they allowed the parties to linger on for 45 minutes to an hour before we were seated.

To the people that night who just took up space after finishing your meal, you suck at being human beings. Your meal was served, your service has ended. You were the direct cause of that business losing another 8 member party besides our own last night because you couldn't think about anyone other than yourselves and leave in a timely manner. To Abbey at Fells Point, grow a pair! Once the table is served and meals are finished, 10 to 15 minutes is sufficient time to let the party linger before you let them know they need to leave because you have other guests. Letting them hang on and on is sheer cowardice.

Our server was cool. Gave us his discount for having waited so long. Food was served quickly and it was delish! We left within 10 minutes of finishing our food.... like decent...
