    At this point I've lost track of how many times my wife and I have gone here. We always look forward to a visit here. Yes, it's tiny and doesn't take reservations, so we've learned that the best time to go is around 930/10p. The staff is always happy to see us and the food has never disappointed us. The bottles of wine are reasonably priced and we always leave here happy and full. The bread and the salad are a must, not just "good for here" but good for ANY restaurant. We were told that the owner was actually married to her husband for 5 years before she divulged the dressing recipe to him! I love that. It is worth preserving and always worth it to us to visit. See you soon!

    Pretty good. Very cold and took double the estimated time to get seated (3 hours). I enjoyed the food (besides the dessert) but wasn't mind blowing. Maybe just soured because we didn't eat until after 10p. Probably won't go back for a weekend date ever again. Maybe on a Tuesday.

    Peter's is the kind of place you're unlikely to find on your own. I was brought here by some Baltimore locals and am so glad I came. This is a long, skinny establishment with a long bar, outdoor seating, and a small seating area in the back. It's small and intimate, and just a great place for conversation. We started out with the spicy cheese grits (with Red Dragon cheese) and some burrata with oven-roasted tomatoes and sliced bread. The grits were rich and succulent. The burrata, divine. My main course was spicy tuna with crisp won-tons and seaweed, and avocado filled with tuna tartare. What an amazing combination that I would never have thought of. It was delicious. Our waiter was a friendly, hipster-looking fellow and did his job well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high-quality, innovative meal, but I'd leave the kids at home.

    Food was excellent. Every course had great flavor and perfectly sized portions. The whipped lardo spread was accompanied by some great fresh vegetables. They introduced me to watermelon radishes for the first time. My steak was requested medium rare and it came out just how I like it. If I had requested medium, it would have been overcooked to my tastes. Finally, the key lime custard and coffee gelato was a great dessert. The scallops that the lady had were also the best she had ever had in her opinion. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is slightly because of the service and our drink prices. The service not so much but I think it was because we didn't get the best server. The others seemed very engaging whereas we were just kind of given a blank stare. Finally, $15.50 for a cocktail - come on! When I got the check I started laughing.

    A hidden gem a bit farther out from the usual haunts in Fell's Point, but well worth hunting down. The menu changes all the time, but the dishes we had our evening were marvelous. The fact the restaurant takes no reservations is a challenge, but the food is the reason people wait in line.

    Peter's has been on my list for years and I finally got there a few weeks ago. The word on the street has always been that Peter's is a neighborhood place with outstanding food, and notoriously smug service. I'd say that's pretty accurate. Peter's is a tiny bar, with maybe 7-8 tables for dining? We had no problem being seated, but I can see this being an issue on busier nights. Tables are very close together and it gets fairly loud in there, but I appreciated it as part of the neighborhood bar charm. The food was definitely the star. We shared Mussels in a Bouillabaisse cream - they were divine. So so so tasty - we had to ask for more bread to sop up every last ounce of the broth. I had the day boat scallops with VA ham on a celery root puree and they were just killer - perfectly cooked, great portion (4 U10s), excellent presentation. Only complaint in this department is my friend had been raving about the beet salad (she's a regular, and the salad is her favorite dish) and she was completely disappointed to find that they had changed the recipe and presentation, delivering a MUCH smaller salad than in the past that was served in almost a wide-ish rocks glass that made it really difficult to consume. The portion was also tiny for $10.50. She did complain and the waitress was less than sympathetic, but she did take it off the bill and offered to replace it with something else. We were there for 1/2 price wine night - several bottles are listed as half off, can't beat that. I would say in general that the pricing was a touch on the high side - even though the quality of the food was awesome, I'm not sure the premium applies when considering the atmosphere and service, but the specials make it worth it. I would definitely recommend Peter's - there are some quirks (would be 5 stars without them) but if you love food and are willing to look past them, it's really a no brainer.

    Looks a little sketchy from outside and it's not in a great neighborhood, but I loved the food and the atmosphere inside. It's such a small space and you end up sitting very close to other parties but that makes it memorable. Menu changes daily. Food is fresh, creative and delicious!

  • Shawneen P.

    Big fan of the food. Seriously (yes, seriously), the mussels are the absolutely the best mussels I've ever had (seriously). I'm so obsessed with them, I keep an eye on the rotating menu just hoping that they'll pop up on there again (please, bring them back). Also a big fan of the 1/2 off wine night. Just a heads up to peeps that the kitchen opens later than the bar, but getting there early is probably a good idea - this place is itsy. And sometimes, so are their portions. But not the mussels... Order the mussels.

  • Cara W.

    amazing! A group of girl friends and I went over the weekend. We shared the lamb chop, pork shank, and lobster ravioli. Each dish was delicious, but the pork shank won out!! We of course had to try to the garlic bread on our servers recommendation. A ton of garlic but was sooo good. This place is definitely one of he best in Baltimore!

  • Nichole Y.

    Had a pretty awful dining experience here. We only had drinks and entrees and it took 2 1/2 hours. My dish was very bland and portions were appetizer sized. The drink prices were outrageous. $15.50 for a Manhattan?? My entree cost 17.50, where's the logic in the pricing?I absolutely despise establishments that take advantage of their clientele and thats exactly what's happening here. Too many good restaurants in Bmore to waste money on a place taking advantage of their patrons.

    My favorite restaurant in Baltimore. I've eaten here a dozen times in the last two years and it's always excellent. Never once have I had a bad meal. Never once have I even had a mediocre meal. Consistently outstanding. The bread and salad is a must. Won't single out any particular entree because all the one's I've had have been fantastic--there's never been an item on the plate that hasn't been well conceived and executed. Desserts are worth saving room for. Can't ask for more (beyond additional seating so we don't have to wait too long for a table!)

    Very nice decor inside and staff eager to help. Unfortunately there was a few hipsters at bar who appeared Extremely intoxicated and loud. Their racist comments about others seemed to be the norm as bartender continued to keep serving even as other patrons shook heads in disbelief. Food is good but would consider peters inn to be a lower class establishment too interested in keeping the locals business then doing the right thing.

    Excellent place in Fells Point. Food was amazing and the service spectacular. I was referred by a local colleague as my fiancé was meeting me in Baltimore. The restaurant really made an impression. We started off with the buratta which was amazing. The tomatoes were slightly cooked giving it a nice complement to the soft creamy tasty buratta. The plate was also accompanied by Italian toast providing the dish with just enough texture. My fiancé ordered the pasta dish that included clams and chorizo. Truly a magnificent dish. I had seared scallops with black lentils. The best prepared scallops I've eaten. We paired all this with a Chilean Cabernet (too cold for white wine). Service was top notch. Made you feel at home or at least as a regular. Will visit this place again.

    Moved to Baltimore from Chicago three months ago and have been pretty disappointed in the food. But Peters Inn is a great find for us. Quirky bar atmosphere that's tight but fun and friendly. They have an interesting menu they change about every two weeks. I've had risotto, a filet, mussels, pate, and a few other dishes, and all were very well prepared and consistently tasty. Plenty of unusual options. And the staff is terrific. They make you feel welcome and like to have some laughs. This is just one of a few spots we've found here that would compete in the Chicago food scene. I'm sure there are more and we are going to find them. But Peters deserves all five stars for a bar with great food and service.

    Baltimore Personified! Warm Friendly Locals Restaurant! Located in Fells point at South Ann Street is this small friendly Baltimoreans hang out. Has a total capacity of about 50 people. A total of 40 can be seated to very small tables. The walls are decorated with all types of memorabilia from the local area. We arrived on Wednesday evening about 6 PM only to find by 6:30 PM the entire establishment was filled. The kitchen doesn't open until 6:30 PM and your dinner would arrive by 715- 7:30 PM. We were advised of this in advance so plan to have drinks. Wednesday is half-price wine night. The menu is written on a whiteboard and handwritten pieces of paper. Our cutlery arrived in small paper bags along with a salad and garlic bread that was to die for! When I asked for the ingredients, I told it was a secret unknown only to the owner who had the recipe. My wife had the pan-fried oysters and I had the grilled lamb chops. Both dishes were plentiful and excellent! If you plan to attend - arrive before 6 PM and try to find parking on Eastern Avenue. The restaurant is around the corner. (Parking is an issue!) The atmosphere is fun, warm and friendly. The food is delicious! The table are small and close together and none of the chairs match. The bar is in constant motion with people moving about. Everyone talks to everyone! It was a reminder for us of a small Greenwich Village Tavern where the "locals" lived within walking distance. This restaurant is a treat for some and not for everyone! We plan to return during our next visit to downtown Baltimore. Have fun! We did!

    So good is all I have to say!! You won't regret it. The menu changes every week. Service is a great. Had the filet and it was a food orgasm in my mouth.

    Do NOT order drinks here! They are as expensive as anything on the menu. Food, meh, ok. One dish was ok, the other super bland. Service super super slow. But the waiter was nice. Unfortunately any cool ambiance this place provided was ruined by a ridiculous price tag. You are an eclectic Balt dive. Price accordingly.

    Pros: delicious food and great selection of drinks Cons: smallest restaurant/bar I've ever been in and limited menu You're so tightly packed into this place that you just might bump elbows with the person at the next table. The small space also leads to a long wait for a table and they do not take reservations. During colder days, every time the door opens you can feel the cold air throughout most of the bar and unfortunately there are people that have to sit right next to the door. I wouldn't mind Peter's Inn and would give it a higher score if it weren't for the space. This causes problems and unless you mentally prepare yourself for the long wait, cramped seating, and the possibility that you may sit next to the door it doesn't always seem worth it. But the food is great!

    Any menu that has Burrata has too be good and it is. Succulent duck breast expertly prepared. Juicy pork shank with cheese grits to die for. If you are in Baltimore you have to try Peter's Inn.

    Don't let the three star review put you off. This is a great little place to grab a drink and a bite it just isn't what I would consider excellent all things considered. As anticipated there was a wait when we arrived. This was our first time there and we instantly liked the atmosphere especially when the bartender greeted us as soon as we walked in. It is a very small space and there isn't a ton of room to wait for a table. Basically, you have to choose whose way you want to get in. We chose to stand in front of the men's bathroom to stay out of the way of the busy servers. We quickly grabbed a drink and soon, a space at the bar opened up where we waited another ten minutes or so before we were seated. Unfortunately, that was were the friendly and attentive service ended. Literally as soon as we sat down - like as soon as we were in our chairs taking off our jackets, the waitress came over and asked us if we were ready to order. The menus were still piled in the center of the table and we were missing a member of our party. Plus, she was a bit terse. This exchange would not have been a huge issue except that it happened once more before the other member of our party arrived and then as soon as he sat down. On the fourth visit, we were able to order. The table got jalapeno clams, buratta with roasted tomatoes, lamb shank, the scallops, risotto milanese, and the duck breast. The clams were definitely one of the stars of the meal. They were spicy and well cooked. Of the other dishes I tried, the duck was good but not properly rendered so the fattiness was a bit off putting. The cherry sauce and the polenta were a very nice compliment however. The risotto was super, super salty. One of my dining mates made a great point that it had probably been reducing throughout dinner service. It was really too bad as the texture and execution of the risotto itself was really done quite well. My dining companions with the lamb and the scallops seemed happy and enjoyed their meals. One of the key things I think that is worth mentioning is that the portion and the prices are very fair in my opinion. I am not sure what the other yelpers saw issue with as the portions were very standard for a nicer restaurant. If you are looking for TGIFriday type plates of food for $10, this isn't the place for you. The other element worth mentioning was that the server was really unnecessarily unpleasant. I am fine with efficiency and I don't need a server that is particularly chatty but I do like to feel like a welcomed guest and with the warm greeting when we arrived and the two checks on us by the manager, I would have expected a much better attitude from our server.

    One of my greatest discoveries since moving to Baltimore a year and a half ago is undoubtedly Peter's Inn. Since leaving my native Los Angeles (and it's myriad of fabulous restaurants), Peter's makes my top 10 list of favorite places to eat on either coast! The quirky-cool atmosphere, coupled with the consistently excellent food makes me happy every time. The menu changes week to week, but certain staples are always there. The "salad and bread" selection is a must-have starter. And although just the word "grits" had always been something incredibly unappealing to me, with a bit of encouragement I tried the cheese grits and they are AMAZING! Main course favorites of mine include the venison chop, tuna "nachos," and their delicious steaks. And if you still have room, the chocolate pot de creme is to die for. I've been to Peter's nearly a dozen times at this point, and one of the things I like most about going here is that I'm never hesitant to try something new. I can honestly say this is one of the few places I can go and know I won't be disappointed.

    My boyfriend took me here and that's why he became my boyfriend. 'Nuff said. I wrote the above review two years ago and it never posted. Anyways said boyfriend is now my husband and we just went back to celebrate our anniversary at peters inn. Love the food and am grateful my husband chose this to be the place of our first date.

    Recently went to Peters on a Wednesday night, dinner for two with ma boo. Food was amazing! Braised pork and fish along with a bottle of vino, chocolate pot de creme and apple tart = divine! Thanks for keeping it real, with amazing food and delectable, Bmore charm! So glad we are in the same hood.

    This is not the worst restaurant I've ever been to. It is probably the worst restaurant I've ever been to where I've paid such a premium for food. I'm really only writing this review because there have been so many good reviews - yet among myself and the people I know who have been here - the experience went something like this: Umm...I paid this, for THIS? The first time I came here, I felt the food was over priced and incredibly average. But I decided I had gotten the wrong thing, and wanted to give it another try. The warm, cozy, crowded atmosphere reminded me of restaurants I loved in NYC, - and I wanted to like it. Came here for the 2nd time with my boyfriend about a month ago. We sat at the bar, and yes, it was full, but even giving some slack for that factor - the service was very so-so. Took about 10-15 minutes to get another glass of wine - and again, I was at the bar. They hadn't bothered to fix their front door, which didn't close properly. Every single time someone left or entered, the door was left ajar, as it did not close on its own. Provided it hadn't been an extremely cold night, this might not have mattered - but it was. The patrons sitting at the table closest to the door, and I (sitting at the end of the bar, closest to the door), kept taking turns getting up and forcefully shutting the door. Finally, the food. My boyfriend ordered the $26 scallops with asparagus and some kind of puree (can't remember, maybe parsnip). I ordered the $18 beef ragu. My boyfriend received 4 small asparagus spears, on top of (literally) a dollop of puree, and 4 medium-sized scallops. The food was ok - but the serving size was ridiculous. It was a cliche. Honestly, it would have been an appetizer at any other restaurant, and for less than the price of an entree. As for my Ragu - it was under seasoned and the noodles were as cheap as you can get (egg noodles). I am not exaggerating when I say that I was highly suspicious it was actually a hamburger helper meal. Don't get me wrong, hamburger helper isn't terrible. However, I do not need to find parking in Fells on a Friday night, and pay a 900% premium to eat hamburger helper. I give it a star for atmosphere (plus Yelp requires it) - in every thing else, it was lacking. If the food quality matched its price, I would've given Peter's Inn 3 stars. Unfortunately, it does not.

    Excellent quality food and service, a challenging menu, and an intimate setting that allows one to escape a bleakness of weeknight evening in Upper Fells. Homely, consistent, sophisticated, and groundbreaking.. a different way each week. _________________________________ Ambiance: 5/5. The red doors beckon, and once inside, you're bathed in warmth: gold light, light wood, and green plants hanging inconspicuously. It's cramped at the front and more spacious in the back, but all of it reminds of grandma's. No reservations and tightly packed tables, but the small bar has always offered at least one seat. Chatty crowds talk over softer jazz. Bartenders swap stories. As chill as it gets, save for maybe the bathroom locations and decorations. _________________________________ Service: 5/5. It isn't polished professionalism like Woodberry Kitchen. Ironically, it's down-to-Earth goodness. I've been corrected on wine. I've been served food past closing hours. I've been given free whiskey to taste against other whiskeys. I've watched bartenders conjure cocktails from scratch to satisfy guests. They want you to be happy at Peter's and it shows. _________________________________ Drinks: 4/5. - The beer list is minimal. - The wine list is small but very solid. Bottles can go missing despite still being on the menu. - There are no mixed drinks listed, but ask the bartender to make something and they likely will. _________________________________ Food: 5/5 (best to worst) 1) Fried oysters with creamed spinach and pernod: stunningly delicate and a textural masterpiece. Thinnest-sliced raw white onions dance on moist spinach, all tied together by lightly breaded oysters that are appropriately salty and still juicy. 2) Seared foie gras with girotte cherry-port wine reduction and roasted local pear: another textural masterpiece, the rich, dense foie is balanced by the sweet, spongy pear, the port reduction reminding just how earthy each element is. 3) short rib boeuf bourguignon with roasted vegetables: hearty, fall-apart, and well-seasoned. The potatoes are earthy yet quite buttery, the carrots cooked perfectly, and the onions melt in your mouth. 4) Cheese grits with a shrimp and chorizo sausage: small but sublime presentation, the tomato sweetness countering the shrimp bitterness, cheesy grits tying together. The grits are a hint too thick against the shrimp skin, and the chorizo went undetected, but otherwise fantastic. 5) Tuna with nachos, seaweed salad: some of the best I've had, there may actually be too much going on. Juicy seaweed, a mite too much wasabi, and perhaps a few more chips would help. 6) poached egg with sharp cheddar grits, edwards ham, red eye gravy: fantastic like the grits with shrimp and chorizo, except the egg gets lost and the gravy leaves it feeling a bit runny. 7) one lamb chop with a marguez-potato hash and a mint gremolata: the lamb is tender but slightly too fatty, the hash fantastic and hearty drawing out the lamb. No mint detected. 8) 6oz duck breast with braised cabbage, apple and cherry: the duck a bit tough despite the juicy cherry adding lightness, the earth contrasting the cherry sweetness. The cherry is served in something inedible, too spongy and bitter.

    Sat outside on a warm Friday evening. The servers were nice enough to warn us that if we wanted to sit inside, we should do it right then because it will get chilly. But it was fine. We wanted EVERYTHING on the menu since it all looked so good! We ordered some wine, their excellent garlic bread and salad (the garlic bread should be it's own appetizer!), a butter lettuce salad which had an interesting flavor, the steak tartare and the lamb chops which were supposed to have a strawberry flavor but didn't. The chops were well cooked and went well with the parsnip puree. We didn't order any dessert. Overall, the food was very good, not extraordinary but worth a trip.

    New to Baltimore and was told to give this place a try. SO glad we did! Food is creative and bursting with flavor. Loved (!) my scallops and lobster risotto. Wow. Great wine and cocktails too. Servers are attentive, knowledgeable, corky, and fun. Everyone coming in seems to know one another and it was so fun to be a part if this unique and familial atmosphere for a night. Tip-- dress warmly because it's a little drafty. We will be back!!!!

    Truly the best of Baltimore! Salad and bread is a must, had the pork shank with cheese grits and greens---absolutely delicious!!! Dessert was a carmel custard of some sort with coffee gelato. This is a MUST go if you're in town. :)

  • Danielle R.

    Wow, I was blown away by the fried oysters over greens with mushrooms and a bacon vinaigrette. It was delicious. I tried a bite of each of my friends meals and they were both equally amazing (steak cooked to perfection with hints of butter and duck leg over some type of well flavored beans). Get an order of garlic bread it's soooo good, but be warned the garlic my linger on your breath for a day. I'm pretty sure we had food-gasams while sitting at the bar, but we definitely were in a food-coma by the time we left. Absolutely amazing. Glad we arrived there 20 minutes before the kitchen opened (You'll know it's open when the light is on) which was perfect because we enjoyed looking over the menu which changes weekly, conversation about how amazing everything on the menu sounds, and our drinks, oh and lets not forget a long wait for a table in the cold. As soon as the kitchen opened the place was packed and a 45 minute wait was on for those who arrived too late. I am pretty sure they do not take reservations, first come first serve and if you get out of line oh well you missed your chance. The inside of Peter's Inn is cozy and yet romantic but has random decor scattered around that will make you laugh or question it. Make sure you visit the restroom (if your a lady) to check out the art on the walls and the well stocked various personal goodies one might need in case of emergencies. I appreciate establishments that care about their customers. You can read about the history of Peter's Inn on one of the menus (I think the wine list) it's pretty interesting. If you are going in a group make sure it is a small group. I'd say 4 to 5 people tops, since it is a small establishment and once it's full people are bumping into you to get around the place. Enjoy!

    Came here on a recommend from a friend and LOVED IT. We came on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy. There wasn't a wait for dinner but the entire bar was full and most tables were taken. It's a cute place, VERY small and close, but to me, a typical Baltimore-bar: a mix of people from all backgrounds and ages. Before eating here I would suggest looking at the menu online or signing up for the newsletter as it changes weekly. Food was also reasonably priced. We each had a drink and then split the cheese grits and shrimp cocktail. Then, my boyfriend had the mussels and I ate the beet salad. The bill was less than $50! Everything was really good but I wouldn't suggest the shrimp cocktail- no frills to it. The beet salad, however, was really really good and the bacon that came with it so think and delicious! I recommend Peter's!

    You could totally walk by this place thinking it was another corner pub, but you would miss out on a true neighborhood gem. One thing I will say though is if you plan to come in for dinner (really all you can do because you won't find room at the bar, and there's no room to stand) then you need to come right as they open to grab a table, or be prepared to wait - without a good place to stand. Seriously, the kitchen opens at 6:30 and I walked in at 6:25 and over half the tables were already filled. Our server was very nice, but I can't say that we saw him too much other than rushing past our table. Not a problem though as we were taking our time and enjoying the night out. I had the shrimp and grits - grits were amazing and shrimp was good, but there were only 3 actual shrimps - then there was like 4 crawfish maybe? Maybe I just diidn't know how to eat them, but opening them all I found was exoskeleton - nothing that looked edible. I don't know, maybe I"m slow, but it was confusing. My date had the day boat scallops and lobster risotto - not a huge portion but very very good. The scallops were cooked PERFECT. Nothing worse than an overcooked scallop. For dessert we split some pot of creme chocolate thing. I'm a chocolate lover through and through, but it was only okay - seemed like it should have been served at a different temperature. And the ice cream was freezer burnt, so that's always disappointing. All in all, I might come back and give this place another try since it's close, but I'm not sure it lived up to the hype I was expecting. The food I had, aside from dessert and crawfish things was pretty amazing though.

    It's 730pm were at peters inn it is now 9:00pm and we still haven't gotten our food!!! Seriously this may be a restaurant that locals go to but they need to pick up on the service. I'm from California and the service is beyond horrible. I would seriously rate this 0 stars of I had the option.

    What a great neighborhood haunt. Inviting, cozy and quirky with absolutely delicious food. First impression was that it would have your usual bar food. I was in for a wonderful surprise. The menu changes regularly as they source local ingredients--Fresh, creative dishes are always on the menu which in artistically written on the chalkboard They also have their house favorites that you can find every day--The Cheese Grits and the House Salad with Bread are delish. My fiance and I visit often and we have never been disappointed with the meal, the service or the experience.

    Belgian Chocolate Pots de Crem!! Whoa SO good. Definitely a local spot and if it wasn't for yelp, I would have never had the pleasure to visit. From the outside, it just looks like a dive bar. Do not be deceived. They do not serve ordinary bar food. Mussels and steak were amazing. From what I heard, the menu changes weekly. The menu seems limited, but read it through and ask your server if you have questions, concerns, or allergies. Everything is fresh and tasty. I couldn't keep my eyes off of everyone's dish. I could not make a decision on what I wanted. Everything looked and smelled so good. I was just visiting the area and the staff and patrons were extremely pleasant. This place is a gem. Drinks are pricy, but the one the bartender suggested was so strong it hit me like a tidal wave, but of course, delicious. He asked whiskey or vodka? I said whiskey and he surprised me. I can't remember what it was. He did mention half off wine by the glass and bottle, 3 different choices. I guess it is every Wednesday? Only thing that may become an issue, is the size of the restaurant/bar. We were here on a weekday around 7:00PM. There was one table open but it seemed to intrusive to the other guests to squeeze in, so we sat at the bar. The place is small, not fancy but comfortable, and it can be romantic (at least to me). This may not be a suit and dress type of place, but if you so happen to be dressed up, who cares, stop in and enjoy. This was the best food and drink during my Baltimore trip. Do not walk away if there is not a table available. I stayed at a hotel on the the opposite side of town and it was totally worth the trip. I'm so happy I didn't stop at the restaurant tourist traps by the harbor.

    Great customer service and a nice laid back atmosphere. Food was great and reasonably priced for the quality. Even though one of us had to return their steak becauae it was cooked medium well instead of medium rare, they promptly cooked another to order at the right temperature. Plus, they docked off the beer for the trouble. Definitely try the cheese grits. Garlic bread was good, but not the best I have had.

    I just enjoyed the best meal I have ever eaten in Fells Point - maybe in all of Baltimore. After reading about Peter's Inn for the last year or so, I finally made it there and the reviews were spot on! This place is off the hook!! I chose the lamb chop with a parsnip ravioli. AMAZING. My husband had the staff meal of the night. He loved his as much as I loved mine, and while we usually share, neither one of us gave the other one bite. Perfect. Trust me, you want to eat here.

    Went there with my family. The lamb and scallop were amazing. They have the best scallop I've ever tasted (Not too raw nor overcooked, yet fresh, tender, and juicy!). I also liked the squid ink pasta. Definitely going to visit there again if I'm around Baltimore next time. The only cons is dinner time was super busy and we waited quite a long time for our food, but I think the quality of food worths the wait.

    In my opinion, Peter's embodies all the intermittent charms this crazy city has to offer: a little quirk and a lot of heart. Intimate by design, this little gem draws you in through it's bright red door, into a small, warmly lit dining area alongside the bar. My date and I were in a time crunch, gearing up for a 7:30 start at the circus later that evening. Dinner service doesn't begin until 6:30, but the chef shooed us in and promised we'd be served right away. Not only did they deliver from a time perspective (in and out in 40 minutes), but the food was phenomenal. I loved that the chef came out with her glass of wine and mingled with diners, giving it a feeling closer to a dinner party than a restaurant. I had the mushroom risotto and my date went with the shrimp and grits. The risotto was served with crumbled bacon, parmesan, cracked pepper, and topped with a "fried hen fruit" (fried egg). Allowing for the possible memory lapses of meals long past, I would say this is the best risotto I've ever had. Was it the combination of the rich egg yolk oozing over the crispy bacon? Was it the sharp parmesan melting throughout the creamy, peppered rice? I neither know, nor care. I just know it was fan-friggin-tastic. I sampled the shrimp and grits as well, and had a similar reaction. Huge plump prawns and savory sausage over a creamy mound of grits, drizzled with a smokey tomato sauce...I had to remind myself to be a lady, and NOT grab his plate and lick it clean. Perhaps I should only go to Peter's on dates, as a precaution. Something has to curb my inappropriate urges around such yumminess...

    I've held off on reviewing Peter's Inn for a while. Mostly because I can never figure out how I truly feel about the place. I love the fact they are daring with the menu. It changes weekly and they always have something interesting on the menu. On the other hand it is a bit small and divey (even for Fells Pt). Even eating outside Isn't that great with all the noise and traffic from Eastern Ave. Also the bathrooms are bit a disgusting, but that shouldn't effect the judgement of the restaurant. If the rating was just on the food it would get a 4/5 stars, but in reality, for the money I'd probably eat somewhere else.

    Very intimate, local restaurant that doesn't need to advertise. The menu on a chalkboard and changes each night. When they run out, they are out. The food is so good, you'll have difficulty choosing even on a narrow menu. If you are a foodie, I suggest getting there a bit earlier for dinner so that you have the full menu to choose from. It really fills up after 7:30 pm and you'll run the risk of missing out.

    I second the recommendation of the salad/garlic bread appetizers. Had the Fillet Oscar and the steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and the lump crab meat was fresh and tasty. The wife had the trout which also was cooked to perfection and enormous! Topped off the meal with very good coffee and chocolate mouse. I will return even though we had to wait 60 minutes for a table.

    Would never go back for dinner. Apps and drinks yes. Paying full entre price for a venison chop the size of a lamb chop is ridiculous. Panko oyster app was more filling and delicious. Way too expensive to leave hungry.

    We had really high hopes for Peter's Inn - and we were rooting for it all the way - but we left feeling food-slighted and disappointed. This place had so much potential with beautifully conceptualized dishes and a fun atmosphere but the execution just was not there. We started with the tuna nachos (C+) and the beet salad (A-). The beet salad was fresh and good but there was way too much fried cheese on the plate and not enough beet. The aioli was overpowering, there wasn't enough tartar, and the avocado (which was totally unripe) did not belong on the plate - SO disappointing for a $20 dish. I had their blood orange and cava cocktail which tasted like pure alcohol (something I don't love). For dinner I had the scallops with lobster ravioli (C) and my partner had the Filet Oscar (C+). It was immediately clear that my scallops were not cooked on a hot enough pan (the coloring was too light) and when I bit into them they were just chewy. The ravioli were delicious however which is the only saving grace of this dish. C'mon...that chef should NOT have put those scallops out. The fried green tomatoes with the filet were way too firm (go figure since they're not in season), the bernaise was not creamy and fell apart on the plate and was overpowered by the tasso. Also, there was not enough crab and the potatoes were not impressive and the filet was on the rare side of medium rare when it was asked to be prepared medium. Again...c'mon chef. We split the pot du creme (B) for desert and it was fine - the fruit was fresh and the chocolate was fine but it wasn't anything special. I'm not sure what happened since this place has gotten such good reviews but I am really really close to giving in 2 stars . I might try it again when the seasons and menu change but I think the kitchen has a ways to go to catch up to its menu.

    Hadn't been to Peter's Inn for a while and was excited to give it another go. I was ready for a wait but a friendly hostess sat my boyfriend and I at the bar right away (I believe she asked some regulars to shift over, which they were very kind to do). Bar service was friendly, if a little slow. Half-price wine on Wednesdays! Unfortunately, my BFs lemon drop martini tasted more like gasoline than lemons. Garlic bread and salad are as good as ever, and the fried oysters were mild but crunchy and the accompanying sauce, yum. The deviled egg with scrapple may have been the best bite of the night. Sadly the entrees were the low point. The bartender mis-heard our order and we got the head-on shrimp over squid ink pasta instead of the trout we requested. The shrimp were excellent though the portion of pasta was a little skimpy. (And the cartender kindly removed the shrimp from our check, very good of him.) We also ordered the veal marsala, which was the worst dish of the night. Bland and severely undercooked. I think the kitchen was slammed at this point which may explain the undercooking, but it was also flavorless. Nonetheless, Peter's Inn has charm and I'd give it another go, if only for the salad and garlic bread. I want to recreate that deviled egg/scrapple dish at home!

    Hole in the wall yet charming atmosphere. Must have a small kitchen because food comes out at different times but when it gets there it is definitely worth the wait. The parsnip purée on my venison was outstanding. Go in with an open mind and you will love this place

    What a cute and quaint fine dining restaurant! It looks quite unsuspecting, as it appears to be a bar on the out side. But you go inside and it's quite the fancy pants place! You generally will have to wait for a table from what I hear, but the bartender was friendly enough so it wasn't such a bad deal. I wasn't feeling super hungry when I went unfortunately, so I just went with a green bean salad. But it was sooo good! It was composed of perfectly cooked green beans, a tangy dressing, hardboiled quail egg, and some greens. It was delicious! I also got a side of their cheesey garlic toast, also excellent. For dessert, we shared a chocolate pot de creme. It was basic, standard, but made really well and a great way to end a delicious dinner! The only complaint was that the server seemed a little immature for this type of venue. Or he didn't really know everything about the menu. Because he either answered our questions with sarcasm, or was a little clueless. It wasn't appreciated.

    I absolutely love this place. It's a little away from the center of Fells Point. The decor in there is very quaint like an old English bar. But the food there is fantastic! We had the cheddar cheese grit that makes you want seconds. I had the salmon there (their menu changes weekly), and it was pretty darn good. The portion size was perfect. We then got the Belgian Chocolate Pots de Creme that was a perfect ending to a great meal.

    Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Scratch that...it's absolutely one of my favorite restaurants, period. First off, I love that it's a tiny little hole in the wall, off the beaten path, that you obviously have to be a local to know about. Second, the food here is absolutely delicious, and very reasonably priced for what you get. In New York, you could charge twice as much for this food, and it would still be worth it. The menu changes on a weekly basis, though the steak & salad are always a staple. Third, Karin & Bud are great people. They really do seem to love running this place, and they seem to genuinely enjoy making a connection with the customers. Fourth, I absolutely love the space as well. It's tiny and feels like you're having dinner in someone's living room. Some of the artwork is from local photographer Sam Holden. Fifth, the rest of the staff are incredibly warm, friendly & inviting as well. I just can't say enough good things about this place. I don't miss much about living in Baltimore, but not a day goes by where I don't miss Peter's Inn.

    Absolutely great restaurant. Always call ahead, I'm never sure when they're actually open. Very small, very intimate. Food uses incredibly fresh and hearty ingredients. I've eaten here pretty much every time I'm in town, and I'll continue to return. The lobster dishes they make are killer, the garlic bread is to-die-for, and I love that they put fresh fruit in the water they serve you.

  • Heather S.

    I have been eating here for years. The food is always good, but there is a limited selection, so sometimes i find I have had almost everything on the menu. The restaurant is pretty cool, long and narrow with a lot of wood. Some favorites would be the chocolate pot du creme, the salad and garlic bread, the cheese grits, the lamb, once they had a pickle plate that was incredible. The owners are very cool and the waitstaff is always nice. Nice when you can eat outside too in the warm weather.

    Really enjoyed our evening at Peter's Inn. It was nice to eat outside and enjoy the weather. Highlights included wonderful wine suggestions/pairings with dinner (staff was very knowledgeable regarding wine), fresh beet salad, pate and creamy grits. I would have rated this place higher, but my duck was overcooked and thus a bit tough, but the flavor of the dish was stellar. Otherwise it was a wonderful evening had by all.

    I visit Baltimore frequently and trying Peter's Inn has been high on our list. Knowing how popular it is, we arrived at 6:30 (when the kitchen opens) last night to put our name in. We were offered an outside table or an hour wait -- no problem. We opted to wait (for interior ambience and because it was a bit chilly), left our number with the host, and went to a bar nearby. The host said, "you're on the top of the list." We didn't hear anything, so 90 minutes later, we came back. The host initially didn't recognize us ("You can sit outside or it's gonna be an hour"); then, when he realized I was on his list, he said "a few minutes" which, when pressed, he said was a half an hour. We reluctantly took the outside table, and he said he'd be right out. Starving, we sat there for several minutes before anyone came out to offer anything (menus, water, drink orders, etc.) Meanwhile, we saw several people who had just been seated. Even with a small place like Peter's and slow table turnover, there's no possible way we were "at the top of the list" and they didn't seat people ahead of us. Peter's Inn was recommended by locals and it looks adorable, but it seems like it's letting its popularity impact its service and how they treat people.

    The food and drinks are simply amazing. The restaurant is small so it can be hard to get a table, but it's worth the wait! I've been twice and everything was great. The tuna tartare nachos and garlic bread stand out in my memory.

    all the comments about the decor and charm factor are spot on. the wait staff was friendly, and checked in on our table often. But the check in was always "i'll be with you in a second." I think the overall evening would have been more enjoyable if the restaurant did a better job at managing expectations. We got there at 730 and was told a 30-45 min wait..closer to 45 min. We were seated at 845. Once seated, it was another 15 minutes before our order was taken and appetizers half hour later. I usually don't write base a restaurant on decor or service. Service is service and the reviews are suppose to be on the food, however if you decide to eat there you should probably just double the wait time that is quoted to you. If we knew, we would have grabbed a snack nearby or walked around a bit longer. We ordered the garlic bread and salad and it was delicious. i ordered the scallops with lobster ravioli. it came with 4 scallops and 2 raviolis on a bed of spinach. it was good. cooked right but not overpriced for $28. I compare it with Fiola in DC and it doesn't compare. husband had the venison with potatoe puree, with sides of green beans and carrots. he said the venison was amazing and better than Fiola. For the price and wait, i don't think i would revisit the place.

    I ate my second meal at Peter's in around two weeks ago and I have to admit the food is quite good. My low rating however is meant to reflect the horrible way in which my girlfriend and I were treated by their drunk of an owner/chef. About halfway through our meal, my girlfriend noticed that we were seated next to none other than baltimore native John Waters! We were thrilled but of course kept our distance out of general politeness. Towards the end of our meal someone dining with Mr. Waters asked my girlfriend to take a picture of everyone at their table. Of course she obliged and Mr. Waters and his friends proceeded to leave. It was then that the blonde woman dressed in a chef' uniform who had been pounding drinks at the bar since we arrived, stumbles over to our table and begins to harshly reprimand my girlfriend for "harrassing John Waters." I promptly corrected her and she retreated from our table without so much as an apology. I of course immidiately expressed my outrage to the hard working manager who responded my complaint by justifying the chef's behavior by explaining that her friend had been attacked by a dog that day. How on earth is that an excuse?!! I have worked in restaurants and no where is it acceptable for employees to be drinking in the dinning room during dinner owner or no owner. I expected to at least have my drinks comp'd but no. I was handed my bill with no deductions. Meanwhile the drunken chef had moved on to a table of young men who she proceeded to massage while they were trying to order their food. Most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen and I will not be going back! If the managament of Peters Inn reads this and would like to issue me a real apology I am all ears.

    I very much enjoy Peter's Inn because the menu changes daily and always offers something unique and interesting. The atmostphere is intimate and the place has very soft, pleasant lighting. During the spring, summer and fall it's great to eat outside. Their happy hour wine specials are also worth stopping in for. While I do enjoy the intimacy, I have to agree with some posters that the space can feel cramped. The tables themselves are pretty close together and if you have four people at a four person table you will have to arrange your plates and glasses like puzzle pieces to make them all fit. Overall, I would suggest making Peter's Inn a date night destination for two. I have also experienced slow food service (45 mins + after ordering) on a few occasions. I don't mind waiting for a good meal, but a little communication and some appetizers would have gone a long way, especially when the entree portions are relatively small.

  • K Sera S.

    Right off the bat let me say that this would be a four star rating if only the venue were either a little bigger or at least consistent with the quality of the food. I guess there's something to be said for the juxtaposition of what looks like a dive bar from the outside (and kinda from the inside, too), but I find that the tiny tables (there are, like six total) and uncomfortable, tight seating takes away from what would be an otherwise delightful experience. Plus, it can get a little pricey to be jammed up like that. I think they are trying to spiff it up a but unless they knock down a wall, it's an itsy bitsy place. Bitching aside, the menu changes weekly (check the Web site) and what's on the board is what there is. And it's usually very interesting, suitable for vegetarians and carnivores alike. I hate to use the phrase "best kept secret," but Peter's Inn might warrant it.... Wednesday: Half price wine by the bottle and glass (selected)

    What a treat! Came here last Sat night for a great meal. The bar opens at 5 and they start serving at 7 but they don't take reservations so you have to time this one. The space is pretty small so when they start serving dinner folks are already lining up. I came with a veteran so we sat up at the bar for a while and slugged a few Moscow Mules while we waited for our table. Bartender had a heavy hand so drinks were pretty good. The artwork on the wall is all over the place, and I mean that in every sense of the word. TIP: Guys. When you head into the men's room keep your eyes in front. Special treat for ya. ;) I sat in front of a painting of Jesus blessing an 18-wheeler a la Convoy in the Sky. Right above that were Forrest Gump's special walking legs. OK, the food. It took a while to get out because we ordered the duck but the food was right on. Cheezy grits appetizer were creamy and cheezy and just what this northerner admires about grits (don't judge me). Steak was as good as it gets and served with a wedge of acorn squash and an heirloom carrot. They can keep the carrot, it was interesting but not all that. Servers were on point and always around. A bit on the pricey side but that's probably because we put down a team of mules. I can't afford to always eat here but whenever I do again it will be a real treat.

    My parents flew in from Los Angeles to visit, and I took them for a late dinner at Peter's on the evening they arrived. It was my first time here, and our meal was excellent. We arrived around 8:45 and were seated promptly at a small but charming table out front. The waiter was attentive, well-informed, and conversational. He recommended a wine for my mother and let us take our time with the menu. We opted to share 5 dishes, and every single one was unique and outstanding. Roasted Peach Salad with fried goat cheese, pistachios, and some kind of pork: This dish was one of my favorites, the sweet and toasty peaches complimented the crunchy fried cheese and acidic vinegarette. That combined with the salt of the pork (it was some kind of fancy thick-cut bacon), made every bite luscious. Corn bisque with maine lobster: this was a cold corn soup with an herb oil and chunks of lobster. The broth tasted like summer with it's pure corn flavor. I did not snag a piece of lobster, but lobster added to anything has never been bad in my personal opinion. The Bacalao with tomato jam and caviar: Bacalao is a type of salt cod that is commonly served in Spain. Here it was made into a dip that had a fancier name that began with a "b". This dish was our most interesting. The bacalao had a smooth, mashed potato-like texture, with a salty fish kick and was topped with capers. We spread it over crusty bread, added a dab of the slightly sweet tomato jam, sprinkled on some of the caviar, and indulged. Fried oysters with fennel and spinach and a pernod sauce: This was my father's favorite dish. It featured fried oyster which were nicely complimented by fresh anise flavor of the fennel. While normally, I would have found this outstanding, I felt it was less exciting than the rest of the dishes on our table. Mushroom Risotto: While simple, I loved every bite of this risotto. It featured a wide variety of wild fresh and dried mushrooms, a perfect risotto texture, and a salty cheese flavor which balanced the umami of the mushrooms. Peter's is only a few blocks from my house, and I can seem myself going in almost any day of the week to eat a bowl of this comforting delicious risotto. While we didn't eat inside, the service outside was quick, the food was outstanding, and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be returning, probably once a week.

    I've eaten at Peter's Inn twice. I've been lucky enough to get there early enough to get one of the last empty seats at the bar. I love that it is a small neighborhood place that changes its menu weekly. There is always something new and exciting to look forward to. I will always get the cheese grits when I return. You have to get the tuna "nachos", they are so unique and delicious. Side note...Best ladies room in Baltimore!!

    I'm a veteran of this place. The service normally stinks (friends with slippery hands don't help), but the thing is, the food is fabulous. I guess that's what keeps me coming back. Best cheesy garlic bread, salad, and cheese grits in town. Their worst waiter, Matt, is gone, only to be replaced by his equally annoying brother. Once summer arrives, they do have great flavor-infused vodkas to try. If you're lucky enough to be served by the bartender/guitar player/Towson professor, those drinks are the bomb! I would have given them 4 stars, except that they ran out of birthday cake on MY birthday last year, damn them! :-)

    I've lived in Baltimore for 3 months, constantly walking by Peter's Inn on my way to Fells Point only to think it was an "old man's bar". Boy was I wrong! The wife and I were looking for a decent place to eat and I scouted local Yelp Reviews and decided to give Peter's a shot. The food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was very jovial. There are limited tables (maybe 10) but you can also eat at the bar. We plan on going back again and have no reservations recommending this restaurant. A true gem in Baltimore

  • Adina K.

    I think Peter's is probably the best neighborhood restaurant in Baltimore. The menu changes weekly, but the steak is always on the menu, as well as their signature salad and garlic bread. I usually come here when I am in the mood for a great steak. It's inexpensive, the portion is huge, the atmosphere is friendly and fun, and the food always tastes like what you would make at home, only better. Great, unpretentious joint. Warning: they do not take reservations and it's a small restaurant, so it fills up fast. I've waited over an hour for a table in the middle of the week. The best time to come is on a weeknight after 8:30pm.

  • Mike D.

    Good ambiance paired with well prepared, if simple, food and several sold-out menu items make this place "ok". One of the things I like most about this place is the feeling that you've been invited to some sort of secret tasting dinner. The place is pretty well hidden. It looks like an extension of the adjacent florist, with an unassuming red door with the name painted next to it. You enter and it's super small, but in a cozy sort of way. I had to look around and make sure I wasn't going to punch someone in the face when I put my jacket on to leave. We ate in the back, in what felt like a quirky Baltimoresque library--bright red walls adorned with portraits of historical looking stern old men juxtaposed against pop fiction novels on the bookshelves that lined the walls. The menu is hand-written and changes weekly. I understand the kitchen keeps inconsistent hours, and that people show up and wait for the kitchen to open. The servers mill around the bar and chat and drink as if they're in on the party too. All of this combines to create a real feel of exclusivity. We were lucky and had a minimal wait at 8:30 on a Saturday. Our waitress was pleasant and diligent. I assume they have a decent beer and cocktail selection, but you'd never know because there's only a wine list. When we inquired about beers the server made some suggestions in an attempt to suit our tastes, and we wound up with a good pick, but I'd like to know what else they have. I heard the bartender mentioning something about a drink that contained rhubarb bitters. Sounds like an interesting cocktail, one that I had no idea existed until I overheard the bartender talking about it. The restaurant is permeated with the aroma of their garlic bread. We ordered a slice each. It was delicious, but basic--how can you go wrong with basil, garlic, butter, and cheese? We also ordered a regular (i.e., always on the menu) appetizer, white asparagus with pancetta crumbles topped with an over-easy egg. It was good, but unfortunately for them, I had just had a similar dish (I didn't realize until I ordered it) at Corner BYOB, which was much more interestingly executed. I think it just sort of paled in comparison, even if it was good. When it came time to order entrees, they were out of the lamb chops--the most appealing item on the menu. They were also out of my second choice, a homemade pasta with wild boar ragout. My wife went with the scallops and bacon, and I had the tuna nachos, another regular menu item. Tuna nachos consisted of some beautiful sushi-grade tuna with a thin slice of beet and cucumber and a wasabi sauce on top all atop a fried wonton "chip". Not bad, but unremarkable. It was served with seaweed salad, topped with shredded beet. Pretty good, and a little different than your average seaweed salad. Also served with a cleverly presented half avocado filled with cubed beets and cubed tuna. Because they were both cubed, and the same color, you couldn't tell which was which, and it made for an interesting experience when eating it. My wife had the scallops and grits. The grits were served unceremoniously, without any embellishment. The scallops were perfectly seared, and served with bits of bacon (not enough in my opinion) and white asparagus, which, like the appetizer, was perfectly cooked. In the end, what you saw on the menu was exactly what you received on your plate. I like to be surprised when I eat out--at least to some degree--and was a little disappointed in the lack of complexity in these albeit well prepared meals. We overheard by the time we were getting our entrees that apparently my wife got the last scallop order--the third entree that they were out of before 9PM. I should point out there were only 10 or so entrees on the menu to begin with, two or three of which were vegetarian. In the end, a nice experience, with great atmosphere, and well prepared, if simple, entrees. Good, but not great.

    Such a gem, amazing food, good service. I moved to DC a few years ago, and I find we don't have anything like Peter's Inn up here. Their strip steak is a classic, you can't go wrong with the menu. The servers are also very knowledgeable and will steer you in the right direction.

    There is a picture in the men's bathroom of a woman standing up and urinating into a toilet. Love it, but any bar/restaurant with that kind of artwork should NOT serve the fru-fru dishes that they pass off as cuisine here. I'll pass on the small portions with artful presentations thanks. The garlic bread was good, but it was the sole app offered, I'd like to see more dishes like that on the menu. Ideally, I'd like to get the garlic bread for free considering the 1.5 hour wait for the table. How is this place that popular? Rockfish was served with a lobster, potato, bacon, "hash" - large pieces of undercooked potato, chewy off tasting lobster, and no bacon to be seen. The fish itself was in the neighborhood of 4 oz and obviously overcooked. Other dishes like the duck leg fared better, but were still small to the point of dissatisfaction. 1 star for the garlic bread, the other for the artwork in the can.

    Based on the yelp reviews, Peter's Inn was a sight unseen must during my 72 hours in Baltimore. Karma was in our group's favor as we ventured to fells point for dinner. A parking space opened and we arrived at Peter's Inn just before 8pm. The door opened ontop of a FULL dining room & bar. Our group was promptly greeted by the staff & assured a table within 15 minutes. The decor and vibrant energy made the wait fly by. We were seated near the back of the restaurant, which turned out to be a pleasant less noisy spot. Wednesday is wine night! 1/2 price on a selection of wines listed on the weekly menu. The menu is limited but diverse. I don't think you could order a disappointing meal at Peter's Inn. I ordered the salad & bread as a starter. A MUST! It is a garlic indulgence. The crusty bread is fresh & the salad dressing satisfies every taste bud. Our table's main meals included pei mussels, shrimp & grits and a beautifully constructed beet salad. We could not keep our forks to ourselves! Every dish was full of flavor. We could not resist the pumpkin pot for dessert! Amazing! Creamy, light & smooth. If your a pumpkin pie fan, this is a must. Our table was attended to on a regular basis throughout our dining experience. The staff was on the ball, superb & friendly. What a treat to have one member of the culinary duo chat with us at the table. Overall, a memorable meal in Baltimore! Thank you.

    I've been going to Peter's Inn for about 10 years now. The food is always consistent, and very good. The menu changes on a regular basis, so it is tough to nail down a regular dish. While the food is always good, my two critiques are that the portions are too small, and that the prices are a bit high. There are no reservations taken here, so you just come, and take a seat at the bar if there are no seats available. It is a small, but very cozy joint. On my last visit, I spent 70 bucks for two of us, but was still hungry, and had to get a snack when I got home. Keep this in mind when ordering, and think about getting an appy to soothe your inner beast.

    Great beer and wine list, Fantastic service, overpriced food for such a pedestrian preparation. I was served raw lamb and my dining partner was given what appeared to be uncle ben's yet was called risotto

    Walking by this restaurant, you would never guess from the outside that they serve fancy, yet unpretentious food within. My friend and I went for dinner and the small space was packed, every table was filled, every seat at the bar was occupied. We managed to get a seat very quickly, but I imagine many people encounter a wait as they don't take any reservations. Also, be ready for "relaxed" service: the waiters were very nice but food does not come out at lightning speed. We didn't mind it b/c we were there to have a relaxed dinner, but people in a hurry should probably not come here during the dinner rush. We got the asparagus salad and a house salad with garlic bread. The sauce on the asparagus was awesome, so much so that we unabashedly cleaned the plate with our fingers. I got the duck breast on black lentils with some sort of jus. it was bomb-as good as our waiter made it out to be. My friend got the pork belly with blueberry jam on the side, which was also delicious. They change their menu weekly and if I were made of money I would come here every week. However, to eat out all the time on a grad student stipend would translate to a 90% chicken wings and 10% Papa John's diet and entrees here are $15-30, which is worth it but expensive for me. I fully intend on coming here as often as fiscally possible, the food was comparable in quality to Woodberry Kitchen, with a more casual atmosphere, which I loved.

    First off, this place is quaint, quirky and small! Those are good things relative to the styro-food corporate monoliths sprouting up everywhere. The food is always good. The menu - though limited - changes daily with a small number of specials - each of which are to die for. Peter's Inn gets accolades from many different sources. All are rightly earned!

    My husband and I have gone to Peter's about 8 times. It is our go-2 restaurant. We have eaten at a number of restaurants in the area and always end up there. We have always been satisfied. Expect to wait on any given Friday or Saturday evening, its worth it. Although its crowed its still very intimate. The staff are always polite and all over the place waiting on the tables. Don't be turned off by the crowd when you walk it,, wait for a table, you will not be disappointed

  • Robert G.

    Not what it used to be. Prices jumped big time, while portions & quality shrunk. Prepare to wait twice as long as you would find uncool. Sadly, it used to be my favorite restaurant in the world, now I don't see reason to ever go back.

    This place is fantastic. My stepdaughter Laurie, a Fells Point resident, turned us on to this quaint, friendly and reasonably priced dining spot. The cheese grits are a work of art, the garlic bread's a hit and the menu and presentation are excepetional. My daughter Mallory, her significant other, Kyle, Laurie and wife Ann had a wonderful evening. Be sure to ask for Paul. His service is special.

    We were told that this place is tiny so we got to the restaurant about 15 minutes before the kitchen starts working to beat the crowd. Our group got seated right away in the inner section of the restaurant and it felt like a very cozy portion of a dimly lit living room. Our servers was very attentive and explained well what's on the menu. I had the blood orange liquor cocktail and it was made very, very strong... so strong that it lasted me through the whole meal which was nice. We had the plate of garlic bread to share and it was delicious. I had the seared scallops and lobster ravioli which was cooked perfectly but can use some sauce. My friends had the mushroom and corn risotto and the tuna nachos respectively and they both said it was good and cleaned their plates. We then had the chocolate pot de creme to share, which included fresh strawberries and macarons... we could have had another order because it was really good. Overall our group of four girls had a great time and I would definitely recommend it for date night or for small groups - but go early! Oh and my friends and I thought it was so cute they have a variety of hand creams and mouth wash in the ladies room :)

    While the main entree wasn't impressive, it was solidly good. The salad, garlic bread and dessert were awesome. I was very impressed by the espresso ice cream served with the Belgium chocolate creme brulee. The wine list had enough options to find something yummy and was fairly priced.

    I really wanted to like Peter's. It has a comfortable dive bar feel to it. The wine offerings were excellent. The host was very welcoming and let us sit outside to drink and wait for our table. Sigh. Once seated, that is when the charm was sapped right out of the room. My friend wanted to know if the the beef was locally sourced. The waiter answered that he was not sure, but then in a supercilious tone responded "it's not from Mexico" (!) , flounced off in a huff and never got back to us with a response, so my friend opted for trout. The choices on the menu are limited but for a bistro, not unusual. Salad and garlic bread, very tasty. Then the entrees arrive. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I have no problem paying a lot for food when there is true value to the purchase. The novelle cusine trend is over y'all! Entrees consisting of 4 scallops? One that was a cup of pasta? However, to give credit, the trout looked great. The bar would be the only reason I would come back.

    Peters is a perfect example of what Baltimore does best: the hole in the wall with excellent food and a funky vibe. Much like Annabell Lee or Henningers, you wont find another place quite like this. Regularly changing menu always has interesting options. Steaks and desserts are consistently fantastic. Wine selection leaves something to be desired, but great beer selection more than compensates.

  • Mike S.

    one of THE best restaurants in Baltimore. it looks like a dive bar upon entry. seating is limited. bar seats are at a premium. no reservations. but take a moment and review the daily menu on the chalkboard. always fresh / local food. their filet is the best I've ever tasted, and the soups and fish entrees excellent as well. I'm a big fan of the house salad and cheddar cheese grits. the wine selection is also diverse and interesting. it it weren't always so crowded, this would be my local "Cheers" hangout. It almost pains me to recommend this place, as I know it will only create longer lines....but they deserve the attention.

    We really wanted to love this place. Really. It still seems like a pretty cool place to grab a drink but don't go there for a sit-down meal, at least not when their kitchen is 'just opening'. We got there at 6:30 exactly, ordered entrees and then waited at least 45 mins for them to come out. The server felt so bad about the wait and asked if we wanted to order salads or apps but we just wanted our entrees. They don't have any kind of bread or chips to nibble on so we just kept on waiting. Finally the server brought out a couple side orders of their cheese grits on the house, which of course was greatly appreciated! The grits were delicious - piping hot with just the right amount of texture and cheesiness. We thought perhaps this was a foreshadowing of good things to come, which probably made the disappointment of the entrees even more acute. The biggest letdown were the lamb chops - they looked and tasted like they had been put on a flat-top or grill that hadn't been preheated correctly, so the surface of the meat didn't get enough heat before they had to pull the chops off to keep the insides med-rare. They were poorly cooked, poorly seasoned and very greasy. The haricots verts on the plate were over-blanched and unseasoned, the 'bordelaise' it was supposed to come with was NOT bordelaise, nor any other similar 'sauce' (it was basically the juice that came out of the chops from sitting on the plate), and everything was just above lukewarm. The rockfish was another good example of a nice product ruined by poor preparation...bland and overcooked. The only entree that was decent were the scallops...it would have been nice if they had come with something on the side considering the $20 price tag (they had a smear of celery root puree on the bottom and a few pieces of morels on top) but at least they were hot and well-seasoned. It would also have been nice if they had come out with the other entrees, as opposed to several minutes afterwards. Honestly, it just seemed like the kitchen was completely unprepared to serve any food at all (we saw salads and garlic bread heading out to other tables 20 mins after they were ordered) and then took 45 mins to throw some stuff together just to get SOMETHING semi-hot out to the customer. Sadness.

    Solid food; needs service upgrade. Wine list by the glass is superb.The menu is straightforward and basically has one or two choices from each category; fish, shellfish, meat, chicken, veggie, etc. A little pricey, but not out of control. Worth the wait.

    Great upscale pub food. One of the last good places to eat in Fells Pt. The selection is limited and some dishes are too small ( scallops ) but I always enjoy my meal. They make a rockn dark n stormy too.

    After hearing great reviews about this place, I was highly anticipating my visit. Unfortunately, poor service and average food led to a disappointing experience. I came here with two friends after 8pm for dinner on a weeknight. We had to wait a while for a table (in the crowded eating area). Then, we had to wait quite a while(15-20 minutes) for the server to give up menus and tell us the options that were still available (a significant portion, perhaps 25% of the options, weren't available). And then we had to wait to place our orders. Upon arrival, the garlic bread that we split was hot, plentiful, fresh, and very flavorful. Although I enjoyed it, paying $8-9 for garlic bread seems rather pricey. My tuna nachos were ok, but the nachos were stale & not crispy, detracting from the experience. I did enjoy the filled avocado half that came with the dish. The tuna nachos were fine overall, just not noteworthy. Finally, the aspect that was most frustrating, was trying to pay the bill. We had to wait probably 20-30 minutes just to receive our check (waited to have someone come despite our multiple efforts to flag someone down, and then waited to actually get the check). My friend had to work an evening shift that night and had to leave before our check came so she could make it to work on time. For a restaurant with price points like Peter's Inn, I definitely expected semi-decent service rather than the massive wait-fest that we got (especially for a non-peak time, non-weekend dinner). The food quality didn't do anything to compensate for the poor service.

    I used live around the corner from this place. It is great. The chow is amazing and atmosphere is great. The menu is printed on a chalkboard at the back. It changes every week. They do a great steak. The garlic bread and salad are terrific. Bud and Karen (owners) are great people. Bud works the bar and Karen is the cook. This place has been honored by numerous awards and is still going strong. It can get crowded and the food can take a while to come out. If it wasnt' good food, it wouldn't be crowded. If you don't want to have a couple of drinks while you wait for your food, then you should go some place else.

    Went here tonight and loved it!! I wish this place was in San Diego. it's tiny and quaint and the food is superb. We had the scallops, clam chowder, and cheddar grits - everything was great. The service was friendly and attentive. I would recommend this to anyone.

  • Galen P.

    Only been here once. The food was excellent but very expensive. The place was crowded and it was fairly late, but at this price I would have expected he service to be slightly attentive. It wasn't. 4 star food priced like it's 5 star and only 1 star service.

    I went to pick my boyfriend, Juan, up from BWI today, and I figured we'd be hungry by the time he arrived, so I looked for "off-the-beaten-path" restaurants in Baltimore. In this research, I found that there's an adorable neighborhood called Fell's Point with lots of small restaurants and stores amongst cute row-houses. We got to the Kitchen at Peter's Inn and instantly I got a very friendly vibe. People were hanging out on the sidewalks with their puppies and friends and right outside the restaurant, they had set up a few tables for al fresco dining. As it was quite warm and humid today, we chose to sit inside - which turned out to be just as hot and humid since they didn't have air-conditioning on and they had the door open. The place was packed, but luckily they had one table open. Juan looked around skeptically and said "this looks like a pub." I felt the same way- the dining area was quite tiny compared to the roomy and long bar- which was lovely, but the vibe of the place was of a neighborhood bar rather than a restaurant with fabulous food. The menu was handwritten (they change weekly) and there was a copy of it written on a blackboard on a wall. There was a pretty comprehensive wine list - French, Australian, American, and Italian. The menu was diverse from duck confit to bay scallops to filet mignon. I picked the bouillabaisse and he chose the new york strip steak. The bouillabaisse was amazing with clams, mussels, calamari and jumbo prawns. The broth and rouille were fantastic with the toasted french bread. So good in fact, Juan ate most of it. The steak was juicy and tender and the mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Throughout the dinner we discussed how deceiving Peter's Inn was - our expectations were low, despite great ratings it received on zagat.com , but the food pleasantly surprised us. The decor is pretty fun - vintage hub caps, Christmas lights, nifty framed photos and paintings. The bar stools are all wood with back rests and look really nice and roomy. If I go back, I'd like to sit at the bar and hang out a while. If you haven't been, I suggest you stop in. By the way, they don't take reservations and the server told us that it's ALWAYS busy, and I believe him. Tasty tasty!!!

    Great restaurant for the price. It's on the homier end of refined but it was an overall treat to my palette. The grits are absolutely delicious. The seafood was all brilliantly prepared. The only problem was the wait, but I'd rather wait for a great meal then be immediately served a bad meal. Highly recommend.

    We walked in at 9:45 and asked for a table, they looked at the clock and said 'you barely made it' (apparently the kitchen closes at 10, although the bar stays open later). They gave us the only table that was open. We went on half-price wine Wednesdays, they had a selection of three wines that were 1/2 price for the glass or bottle. Although they had run out of the first wine on the list, we got a decent bottle of Malbec for $15. They had also run out of a few menu items that night. We started with house salads ($4 or $5, I think). Romaine lettuce with a dressing somewhere between balsamic vinaigrette and caesar dressing. Garlicky with a little bite of balsamic vinegar and black pepper, with grated (not shredded) parmesan cheese. Or maybe it was just caesar dressing made with balsamic vinegar? In any case, it was tasty. It was served with a think slice of soft, crusty bread that had been topped with herbed butter and cheese (mozzarella? provolone?) and broiled. Hubby ordered lobster mac-n-cheese with applewood smoked bacon ($12). Served in a funky asian-inspired bowl with two chive spears as a garnish, it was an interesting presentation. Hubby loved it. It had a very strong smoky bacon flavor that almost made the lobster an afterthought. Actually, considering that there were only one or two pieces of lobster, maybe it was an afterthought? The dish was good, but it almost erred on the side of 'dry and oily' versus 'rich and creamy'. Sometimes I have that problem when I make mac-n-cheese, and it probably didn't help that it was the end of the night. However, it was incredibly satisfying, and hubby says I'm too picky. I ordered the herb crusted lamb chops ($17). They were cooked perfectly medium rare. (I didn't even have to ask: they just knew that lamb chops are supposed to be medium rare!!) The herbs were mostly thyme and parsley, any stronger herb flavor would have been too much. The three chops were arranged in a heap and served with a red wine reduction that was excellent. The kitchen subbed a ramekin of cheddar cheese grits for mashed potatoes (without asking -- another 'last customer of the night' issue, I think). This was the second best part of the meal (and I usually hate grits!). The cheese grits were rich and creamy and delicious, and the slight corn flavor reminded me of polenta rather than grits. If the cheese sauce they used for the grits had been on the mac-n-cheese, it would have been the absolute best macaroni dish to ever cross my lips! A small pile of al dente steamed petite green beans completed the arrangement on the square platter. The best part of the night was the dessert. Chocolate pots de creme ($7.50) was served in a tiny ramekin. A thick drizzle of berry puree divided the square plate, and on the other side was a (surprise!) ramekin of cappuccino gelato. On one corner of the plate, there were also some dry, light, thin cookies coated with sugar and a hint of cinnamon; they didn't have much flavor, they reminded me of fortune cookie in flavor but a much lighter texture. The pots de creme was an incredibly dark rich chocolate mousse, with just a hint of graininess (minuscule grains of chocolate?). Two bites and we were full, but we couldn't stop eating. The cappuccino gelato was dense, flavorful, and not too sweet. The bite of coffee flavor contrasted pleasantly with the insane richness of the mousse, making each dessert better than it would have been on its own. This is the definition of synergy. This is a tiny little place, you walk up a small flight of stairs to get to the door. There is a large bar with about 8 small tables across from it, and a small back room with four tables. Cloth tablecloths but paper napkins and silverware served in paper popcorn bags, so nice but still casual. The menus are handwritten and photocopied. The bar had a small crowd: mostly they seemed to be drinking wine. The service was friendly and unrushed, and at the end of the meal, on the way out, the owners (I'm guessing, because he was on the cover of a magazine displayed in the restaurant) thanked us for coming in.

  • Olivia J.

    So delicious and friendly! We were starving, after getting into Baltimore at around 9pm, and Peter's saved us. The staff were super nice and efficient, the food was really tasty and fresh (we desperately needed good food after a week on the road), and the atmosphere was very lovely and relaxing. I could see coming here often if I lived in town. Oh, and get the garlic bread, if only for the thrill of it. Peter's serves up one impressive slice of bread. Beware the parking situation in this area in Baltimore though - we drove and drove and drove trying to find anything. I'd recommend uber or a taxi and then walk around if you want to go out here.

  • Bert P.

    Peters is one of my favorite places to eat in Baltimore. It comes down to the intimate atmosphere and the food being delicious. It's often hard to choose what entree to try because they cook both steaks and seafood perfectly. The salad with garlic bread is a classic. Super zesty and spicy. Filet mignon is buttery and soft...I've had amazing fish and scallops as well. Do not skip dessert. The French influence does them well. It's a Baltimore staple that lives up to its name. I recommend bringing your out of town friends here. It's a good starting point to begin an evening exploring fells...

  • Erik V.

    Finally got a chance to cross this off the Baltimore bucket list. Wish I had been here earlier. Quirky decor, intimate seating with some great street-side tables as well. Very easy to grab a table midweek ~ 7:30, which was a pleasant surprise based on what I had heard. Our table gravitated to the seafood dishes and were not disappointed. Halibut, scallops, and Ahi were all excellently prepared that night (halibut was the best of the three). And we shared the garlic bread - which is really a garlic loaf - and loved it. They had some good 1/2 wine bottles as well. That may have been for that day of the week but well worth it if you happen to be there.

  • Emily F.

    We went on a wednesday around 7 and waited until about 8 for a table. The kitchen opens at 6:30 so it seems like the strategy is to get there then for the first seating or later like 8/8:30 for the second seating. The food was worth the wait. The mussels with huge cuts of ham (bacon?) and bread to soak up all the garlicy goodness was a delicious appetizer for 4 people. I had the scallops with mashed potatoes and black lentils for my meal. I swore I wouldn't have room to eat it all but I did. The bartenders while we were waiting were great. Waitresses were okay.

    I had heard good things about Peters Inn and date night was calling. 1. The combo of the burrata with roasted mini tomatoes was amazing. The portion of burrata was about the size of a baseball and delicious. Served with something green and balsamic vinegar. Yes. Always. 2. Get the garlic bread. Even it you get a slice to split. It's $2.50 for one, and delicious! 3. Beets are my favorite. The purple and yellow beets with walnuts, A PANKO FRIED BLEU CHEESE BALL, and leafy greens was top notch!!! Out. Of. This. World. Good! 4. Even though it's small, the restaurant was always busy. It must be a sign the food is good. I'm pretty sure everyone as they were leaving was thanking the staff and "'mmm!ing" on their way out.

  • Samantha G.

    Garlic explosion! Don't get the salad or bread if you can't handle it (or if you're gonna be kissing later-- wink wink!) I had an excellent dining experience here and awesome service when I came in a group of six for a birthday, though (full disclosure) some of the people I was with are friends with the waitstaff here. Generally, I would not recommend coming with a large party. The scallops were definitely the high point of the night (though others enjoyed the tuna wontons, pork leg, and shrimp and grits thoroughly.) Wine and cocktails are pricey, but those bar tenders don't mess around. They know what they're doing. Can't wait to go back to try more. This would be a great intimate 'true Baltimore' experience for a first date.

    Finally got around to trying out this place. Definitely get here early. They don't take reservations and it fills up fast! We were seated next to the men's rest room which wasn't so pleasant but oh well. Or service started out very slow but picked up once our server came around. We both started with the garlic bread and salad. People who think this is the best garlic bread they have ever had have clearly not gone out much, however, it was still good. The salad was a nice compliment to it. We both ordered steaks. They were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The mashed potatoes were delicious also. Simple, but good. We would definitely return here again. Hopefully we'll snag a better table next time.

  • Jessica R.

    We had the salad (just lettuce with balsamic dressing) and amazing blue cheese pesto bread, shrimp and grits (small portion but tasty) and the trout (simple but fresh and tasty) and the highlight.... pumpkin pot de creme we're still dreaming about. Will be back!

    Being only a block and a half away from my house, I'm surprised it took me over two years to finally make it here! Glad I finally made the trip. Food: Watermelon & Manchego Salad: very refreshing. Perfect summer salad. Garlic Bread: So tasty! Almost like pesto topping. Lots of herbs and flavor! Fried Oysters with Bacon Dust: I was sold at bacon dust! These were perfect. Crunchy outside, moist inside. Seasoned well. Orange Braised Scallops with black lentils: Loved the hint of orange with each bite of scallop! Halibut with purple potatoes: fish was cooked perfectly. Very flavorful dish. Pots de creme: rich and decadent. Coffee gelato for balance Ice cream sandwich: yum! Vanilla AND coffee gelato sandwiched between two white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Atmosphere: Hmm. So it has this unique "Baltimore Funk" kinda vibe to it. Somewhat comparable to Heninger's just a few blocks down. Has the old row home smell. Bathroom is interesting....5 different lotions, bottle of mouthwash...feels like a bathroom at someone's house. And some unique artwork in the bathroom lol. Price: The food was great but I feel the prices could have been a slight bit lower. I feel like you pay for atmosphere and such when dining; Peter's lacked a bit of the ambiance I associate with those kind of prices. Service: Excellent! Everyone worked as a team and all the servers who attended to us were very personable. I liked the 60s style dresses/outfits of the staff!

    Ambience: Cute spot! Wonderful outdoor tables. Indoors pretty dark and narrow. Service: We had a great server! She recommended the pork to me and it was definitely the way to go. Food: started with the bread and salad! This is a must. Bf had the steak ($35) and it was overcooked, which was a shame for the price. Veggies weren't cooked as much as I like. My pork dish, however, was amazing. The meat fell right off the bone. The cheesy grits were so good and I ate the entire plate clean! Verdict: Adorable spot for a date night dinner! Love that it's not pretentious and that they have a rotating menu!!

    We've been to Peter's Inn before and fell in love with this quirky notion of 5 star food served in a divey neighborhood bar. The food is among the best in town. So, we had a special family occasion and took our guests there with our highest recommendation. We ended up embarrassed. We had an awful experience, ruined by a completely inept server. She was totally missing in action. We had to hunt her down time and again for everything: a water refill, silverware, to order our food. This was a party of 5. The first appetizer was served 20 minutes ahead of the last one to arrive at our table. It took 1 1/4 hours to be served our entrees, several of which were cold. When this was brought to our servers attention the response was "what do you want me to do about it?" Really? Is this your first day as a server? Fortunately for us, a competent food runner was able to locate her at those times we needed service. The entire ordeal lasted 2 1/2 hours. Proof that one bad employee can do major damage. 3 stars only because we've had good past experiences here.

    I was torn between giving Peter's 4 or 3 stars, but I am settling on 3 and this is why. My boyfriend and I moved to Butcher's Hill and all of our neighborhood friends raved about this place! So naturally for my boyfriends birthday that was his first choice for our night out. We went on Wednesday, their 1/2 price wine night. We were told that it gets packed and you have to wait for a table so we went really early and got there at 6:15PM. No one was there at that time so we grabbed a seat outside. My boyfriend said it smelled like trash, however inside the tables were so close together, we still felt outside was better. It wasn't until our server came to us that we realized the kitchen didn't open till 6:30. All the times I went to their website I don't remember ever seeing this? Then again their website is atrocious. Their menus were hand written on college ruled paper and photocopied.... what? If you are charging on average $20 a plate shouldn't you have a nicer presentation of the menu? I could hardly read it! The food... our friends told us to get the salad and bread to start. It was really really good! Great portion for the two of us to share. My boyfriend ordered the bay scallops, he only got 4 scallops and a pile of black lentils, the flavor was amazing, but my man can eat and this was not going to be enough. I ordered the tuna nachos, it was an appetizer, but again it was tiny. It consisted of 5 wontons, with a slice of tuna, cucumber and beat with wasabi dressing on top. It was good, but I have had this at many other restaurants. So nothing special to me. Overall, we weren't completely stuffed when we left, the food all tasted great and was cooked to perfection, the wine was cold, and the company was amazing. I would just recommend going elsewhere.

    Cool, neighborhood gem. Small and charming; friendly staff. The place is rather tiny and I imagine it must get packed on the weekends. Fortunately, we were there on a Tuesday, late. Food: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Service: 4 stars

  • Paul L.

    Terrible food, terrible service, terrible atmosphere. Please don't go there... ...because I'm tired of having to wait on a table. Hopefully that helps ward off the tourists because this is possibly the best restaurant in Fells - placing it high on the list of best in Baltimore. I could go on about the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the staff, but the 80 four and five star reviews already nail why this is a local favorite. A better measure is looking at the reasons for the lower reviews. Is it hard to get a table? Yes, because the place is always packed. Is it sometimes slow? Yes, because the place is always packed. Is it expensive - I personally don't think so but if they are it isn't hurting business because the place is always packed. Small menu? That's kind of the point which is why the place is always packed. Get there early, or better yet, just sit at the bar where you'll get the same menu without the wait.
