Maggie's Farm — Restaurant in Baltimore

There are substantially better places to have brunch in Baltimore. From the service to the food, it was a particularly unpleasant restaurant outing. Regarding the service: we arrived with our family at opening (11am), we're a family of 3 (two adults, one toddler). We were given menus and told to pick a table outside. We then didn't see anyone for at least 15 minutes. No water/beverage order greeting in any timely fashion. After the host took our drink orders, we met our server. She's kind but obviously stretched thin. The cream that came with my coffee had a small gnat in it (it is summer, we were sitting outside, these things happen). In investigating this, the cream spilled. She offered to bring more, it didn't happen. We're fairly polite and won't repeatedly ask for something, so I made due. The food was atrocious. It looked enticing and tasted mediocre. The cauliflower wings had a chemically taste, I think from liquid smoke. There was a thick, brown gelatinous substance within the cauliflower that I couldn't identify. The chocolate cinnamon roll was also extremely artificial-tasting. I cannot emphasize how artificial the food tasted. Including "farm" in the restaurant title is a lie. I was so excited for fresh, vegetable-forward food and this restaurant failed to provide that. The annoying things, after all that:

1. Our server forgot to put in part of our order. At other restaurants, the mistake would be corrected and the missing item would be comped. Not here. Granted, they were quick to get the missing meal out, but it was the toddler's meal (which, if you are a parent, you understand that's a tough oversight to get past).
2. For the exceptionally slow she inattentive service, we're automatically charged an 18-20% tip. Now, I generally tip 20% - it's someone's livelihood and it isn't the servers fair the restaurant hasn't hired enough people. However, it wasn't obviously advertised in the menu and it was a rude thing to see after poor service. Don't get me wrong, the folks are really kind, their management isn't setting them up for success. For a $61 brunch - didn't include alcoholic beverages - I expect better food and a restaurant that is appropriately staffed. I recommend...

Okay, hear me out, this place is DELICIOUS. This was our first time here for brunch. We ordered: croque madam, thee steak and eggs, and the bread pudding. If you're in a hurry, here is the summary: it's a little pricey, but the food was FRESH and perfectly cooked and seasoned.

More info: The staff was friendly and attentive. The place is small but this building is from the 1920s, so expect cozy seating. The vibe is cozy, intimate, but also casual. The restaurant is owned by a young couple and is very much family-owned. The staff clearly loves each other and their customers. I even witnessed the owner doing some basic sign language for some regulars who are hearing impaired.

Since everything is fresh, they make to order and can customize. I recommend getting the homemade biscuit instead of the English muffin because it's made in house.

The croque madam is excellent. It's a nice balance between a sweet brioche bread and salty ham. The bechamel gave a nice creamy taste in between the layers of thick ham.

The steak and eggs was delicious. I recommend medium rare because the end pieces are more likely to medium with the center slices cooked perfectly. The chimichurri wasn't too intense and didn't have an overpowering raw garlic taste, it was delicious.

If you get the homemade biscuit, get the jam and butter with it. The jam is something special. They were out of cinnamon rolls by the time we got there, but their rolls look amazing. Instead, we got the bread pudding which was made with their cinnamon rolls and had a peanut butter ice cream and glaze on top. I love peanut butter and it was like dying and going to heaven.

This is a great spot and brunch was first come first serve. I heard that reservations are good for dinner though because it is a small establishment. They have regular updates to their menus and new specials all the time from the looks of it.

I'm not sure if they have a handicap entrance. There were steps going up the door that I saw. They don't have a parking lot but there's parallel parking outside and plenty of spaces at the...
