G & A Restaurant

G&A is a Baltimore classic. Chef Andy & his crew have created the perfect “You are Home HERE!” Environment! The servers & kitchen crew have given my family a place to just sit and enjoy. Chef Andy is a true wizard of the kitchen … he is never ending in his magical works with amazing dishes. You want comfort foods … you want soul … you want “in my nobody opinion” the BEST Crabcakes in Baltimore … from Burgers, Hot Dogs, Chicken and the cleanest fresh Turkey … Yes … I am bias towards my hometown … we all have ours … it is the attitude & atmosphere that made this my personal favorite place! You see … the last two years have been battling stage 4 Melanoma Cancer. It would happen G&A moved from Highlandtown to White Marsh … crossing magically between my treatment location & home. One stop quickly became weekly … which became 2 to 3 times during the heavier treatments. We would go in … grab our usual table … and just be adventurous travels of the menu … jokes & snarks … chats about cats … all along Chef Andy creating … each dish is different but always the same at its heart … and all along not once did I feel like the “cancer patient”! So … taken what you will from this rambling thread … just know if you are open to the possibility … Chef Andy in his Black Puma T Shirt has created a Baltimore Gem … stop in & tell them “that guy who doodles on the checks” sent me in “I heard the Crabcake platter was the end all be all …”

This restaurant is located in a small strip of stores. We visited here in a large group. Lisa was our waitress and she was very friendly and attentive. We all had breakfast and the bacon was amazing! My eggs were cooked exactly the way I asked them to be. The home fries were good. The manager even came out and checked on us after our meal was served which I always appreciate an attentive manager. The only negative I had was that we were seated outside and it was very hot. I would suggest if possible to have fans outside on hot days.

In town visiting and this popped up on our GPS. Having been in business since 1927 we figured they had to know what they were doing! Casual friendly atmosphere indoor or outdoor seating and dog friendly! Lisa took care of us on day 1 and Marie on day 2. We didn't bother looking for another place because everything was just as expected. We even met the owner on our 2nd trip there and as someone who runs a restaurant it's important to see the operators on premise. Appreciate the hospitality and good food!
