We usually eat lunch there. A friend always orders the Monte Cristo. They have a huge and varied menu. You must try an order of their "Famous Onion Rings" which are a house specialty. One order is big enough to share with a friend. I have also had dinner there and have found the food good. Menu is on their website with pricing information.

Home-style food in Hampden. Very casual and friendly atmosphere. The true diner experience and a Baltimore "must-do!" Café Hon is located in historic Hampden, and the décor and its servers have barely changed their style since the '50's! The food is "diner-fare" (eggs, French toast, sandwiches, etc.) and "home-cooking comfort food" (meatloaf, spaghetti, lasagna) - great for a reasonably-priced meal complete with plenty of atmosphere. The paper placemats with "Bal'morese" vocabulary words and their respective translations are an added bonus! Note: 36th St. in Hampden has some good arts and specialty shops as well.

Located 5 blocks north of the harbor in upper Fells Point, is the small culinary gem Peter's Inn. The small rotating menu recently included a filet mignon, vegetable pot pie, and seared tuna among the entrees, though be sure not to overlook the house salad with garlic bread! They have a fair wine list and a good selection of beer on tap. Have a glass or pint at the bar while you wait --there are only ten tables but the food makes it worth every minute. Street parking is available if you beat the weekend bar rush. It is a casual atmosphere. Peter's Inn is a pleasant walk away from Thames Street and a cornucopia of nightlife.
