Did I mention it's Black Owned?
There’s something for everyone at R. House, a former auto body shop turned food hall. Inspired by the cool and kid-friendly food halls in Brooklyn, the ten founding chefs at R. House believed that uniting was the best way to create a community dedicated to culinary experimentation. Located in Baltimore’s Remington neighborhood, less than a mile from Johns Hopkins University, each stall features popular cuisine like poké bowls, shwarma, fried chicken sandwiches, and New Orleans-inspired soul food.

For you Crab Lover's
If you don’t want to go through all the work of picking your own crabs, your next best bet is a crab cake (jumbo lump and no filler whenever possible). Faidley’s Seafood has been serving softball sized crab cakes since 1886. Oprah Winfrey (who started her career in Baltimore) is a big fan of Pappas Seafood Co. crab cakes. Seasoned locals might also mention Costas Inn, Gertrude’s (which also offers a vegan option), Jimmy’s Famous Seafood and Koco’s Pub.
