First time trying Charm City and it was great, hubby had the brisket quesadillas and I had the mahi tacos and crabby fries. WOW the best fries! So crispy and thick. Glad we stopped in!

Our only place for Maryland-style crabcakes in Florida. We have been here multiple times since we found out about you. Today was exceptional, we were treated fantastically by Rachel. She was very sweet and took good care of us. Rachel is a great addition to the staff. Love the Collards and baked beans in addition to the crabcakes! Keep making great food, and we will keep coming back.
