Guy Fieri's Baltimore Kitchen and Bar

By now, everyone should know who Guy Fieri is. If not here is a quick lesson, Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. Guy Fieri's Baltimore Kitchen and Bar, will offer guest a taste of Fieri signature, featuring bold flavors and unique twist on signature dishes. Guy's unique style and flavors, makes you say WOW. The pricing was actually decent pricing for a casino.

 The Food: Everything passing by our table, we said wow, that looks good. Of course I did a little research before we joined our friends for dinner. I already had in the back of my mind what I wanted. Yes, it was call the Big Dipper. It is the mack daddy of roast beef sandwiches. Shaved pit beef, pepper jack cheese, crispy onion straws, creamy horseradish sauce, on a toasted garlic torpedo roll. Served with a side of fries. I will say, this sandwich, gives Chaps Pit Beef a run for their money. I will say this sandwich will not disappoint you. It was so good, my wife liked my sandwich better. My wife got the Mac and Cheese bacon burger. I tried a bite of my wife's burger and man, it had a great taste to it. I'm not a huge fan of mac and cheese, but this was over the top. Our friend, got the B-More fries, despite the side salad on top of the fries, they were excellent. The fries came with shredded lettuce and carrots on top the fries ( the side salad ) smothered in Guy's crab dip, with chunks of crab. Crab dip from a chain restaurant could be a little skeptical, but not this one. The fries could do with out the lettuce and carrots. They are great just the way they were. Everyone else at our table enjoyed what they got to eat.
 The Service: Here is the neat thing about this restaurant. They take your name and number and text you when your table is ready. We had a party of 7 and was seated in 40 minutes. Pretty quick for a Saturday night and a large party. I wish I could remembered our waitress's name, but I forgot. They only problem I had with out service, was she would disappear for a long time. We had empty beer glasses and empty water glasses on the table. A good waitress or waiter, does not let you go thirsty. The cool thing was they were able to divide the check up into 3 separate checks.
 Overall: I'm ready to go back and try something different on the menu. The atmosphere was so Guy and what Guy is about. I would definitely recommend this to everyone, no doubt

Squire's Italian Restaurant

 Who would of thought you could get some really good Italian food, outside of Little Italy? Think again. This East Baltimore landmark has been serving many patrons for 60 years. Did you know Squires started out as a bar?

 The Food: Squires has had their recipes passed down from generations. I have had just about everything at Squires from hamburger steak to chicken parmigiana. All the pasta and sauce are made from scratch. Angel hair pasta with the chicken parmigiana is money. the angel hair pasta is a side for your meal, you also have to choose the salad with the house dressing. But before you order your meal, you have to order the calamari. I guarantee Squire's calamari taste like no one Else's. It has to be one of the best in the state. I'm not too big on lasagna, but I will only eat Squires lasagna, we have had this on many private occasions at Squires. Along with the lasagna, is the Italian chicken, spot on. Have you ever noticed, Squires pizza is very similar to Pizza Johns pizza? A former employee left Squire to start Pizza Johns. It is very hard to say who has the best pizza, both are extremely excellent.

 The Service: I can never complain ever about the service we receive at Squires. It does not matter if it is a large function we are having or just out to dinner. Never once have we received bad service from anyone. Even upper management has went above and beyond to take care of us.

 Overall:  This is by far, one of my families favorite restaurant. Great service and great food. Reasonably priced food, with excellent service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is out of town and want really good Italian food. Squires also offers a carryout, delivery and off site catering. http://squirescatering.com/
