Went to Silks tonight for my fiance's birthday. We were hoping to have a fun night of trivia, drinks and food with a group of 6 of us. We were unfortunately greeted very rudely by the bartender who said we wouldn't be able to find seating upstairs and when I politely asked if I could check, he told me I was calling him a liar and continued to be arrogant. We talked to the trivia host explaining it was a birthday and we were running late due to a diabetic incident and we were offered a table with another team who generously made room with us. We even bought them a round of drinks to show our appreciation. Anything's the bartender from downstairs sees us and comes up in a manner like he was trying to show dominance over the situation or trying to instigate an argument/fight. Basically, insinuating that we stole the table from the "nice regulars" and we should have just turned. He said other things making us all feel uncomfortable, unwelcomed. It even got to the point where we asked if he'd like us to leave, and he just responded, "doesn't matter now". He was really slow with our service the rest of the night, didn't make eye contact and wouldn't ask if we needed anything else unless we flagged him down.

I will say that the food is really good and that's why we kept coming back despite his behavior, but tonight might have been the last straw. All I wanted to do was give my fiance a great night out with his family for...

The cheese tasted like it was Kraft cheese in the plastic wrapper. The chips were Lays Ruffles. In the sandwich, there was random HUGE bursts of straight pepper flavor that overpowered my mouth and tasted like I was straight up eating just pepper. I would not recommend this to anyone.... if you want a good cheesesteak in Baltimore, go to Clock Restoration Bar and Resturant or Capital Lounge. I spend a week traveling the east coast and this was the worst place I ate at all trip. DO NOT EAT HERE. I had to order from another restaurant after spending the money on this since...
Read moreFirst visit. Definitely a cool dive bar location. Decided to have lunch with a friend and husband on a rainy Sunday. Walked right into the bar then made our way to the behind the bar room. Not many people, which was nice.
Husband ordered Cream of Crab soup and a Caesar Salad. He said they were both above standard bar food. Cream of Crab could have been a little thicker but good! I ordered a chicken cheesesteak with the fixin's on top. Delicious but if I'm being picky... more cheese!
Food was delicious. Bartender was very kind for having to work lunch/brunch on a rainy Sunday. Thank you for a positive first experience. When the opportunity arises, we...
