City Limits — Restaurant in Baltimore

I'm always looking for a good BLT and this place has it! I can attest maybe one of the best BLT's I've had in the city. There is a problem however...

During my first visit I was delighted that the sandwich was made so well. I couldn't wait to eat it, so I pulled over and started eating it in my car. Because of the way the sun entered through my vehicle, during each bite I noticed 'movement' along the bread. I thought I was going crazy and took a closer look to notice flowy web-like fibers going across the bread.

Ok, maybe a piece of lint or something got stuck on the crust so I simply pulled it off, but then I noticed another, and another. Upon pulling them they would stick to one another and pull off in like a long webby chain.

By this time I'd eaten almost half the sandwich and thought It'd be silly to go back and notify the staff. But then I thought to myself that if it were my establishment I would want to know.

I went back to the restaurant and showed one of the gentlemen as discretely as I could. In so many words he told me that it wasn't his problem, that he wouldn't have served the food like that. In this moment I felt accused, and a bit crazy. I showed him the threads and how they pulled from the bread. They were all over, like a spider was trying to eat it before me.

I walked out feeling stupid. Considering I had already eaten it, I tried to put it out of my head and continue but I couldn't get past the thought of eating spider webs.

Months later, I decided to try again. The food was actually good and maybe it was just a fluke. I ordered the same exact order, and to my dismay, the bread still had those web-like fibers across it. There weren't as many as last time, but they were definitely there. I didn't tell anyone this time, It was just may way of deciding if I would go to this restaurant again.

Sadly, I won't return here even though I really enjoyed the food. There's obviously something going on in the kitchen that the staff isn't willing to hear about, and I don't wish to...

City Limits is not your average neighborhood sports bar. It doesn’t have the most up-to-date facilities and it has a certain gritty feel about it- which is typical of city-located bars in the Northeast. And it is a little bit of a dive bar. But what it does have is fantastic food, a great, personable atmosphere, friendly staff, lots of large windows that are open when the weather is ideal, and a good corner-side location on the main drag in Locust Point.

City Limits is a bit of a hidden gem- food at bars like this one should not be as good it is here-and I’ve never had food this good at any bar in the entire Baltimore area. Period. Even the fries are really good. I especially enjoy the Mac and Cheese (which can serve 2) and the pulled pork sandwich- which is pretty spicy.

If you go to this place in Locust Point, you likely won’t want to go anywhere else, unless you don’t like noise, especially on the weekends- which this bar has plenty of, because’s it’s...

Brunch was great. Visit in '22 & '23. I had Mexican Eggs Benedict both times. It was delicious. Tots were so tasty (salty) and the cilantro-lime sauce added quite a zing without overpowering the eggs and ground chorizo sausage. The first one (pic) they brought me had the smallest eggs I've ever seen and they were cook hard, so I asked for a redo and the next dish had the biggest eggs I've ever seen (pic) just poached, so yolk was all runny. They over-poached my eggs on 2nd visit too. And chorizo was overcooked and almost dry. Vegetarian wife and I loved their Mashed Potato Quesadilla, I know sounds weird, but it was quite good. Might want to ask for some guacamole to give more depth. Pico was so tasty. House recipe Bloody Mary was delicious. Had a bit of horseradish floating around in there. Buffalo Cauliflower bites were great. Lightly breaded...
