If you've got sandwiches on the brain, you're in luck: we've found the freshest Baltimore eateries to quell your cravings. The next time you're in the mood for a handheld meal, here are some options.
Red Star Restaurant
3224 St. Paul St., Charles Village
Fells Point's Red Star Bar and Grill has opened Red Star Restaurant near Johns Hopkins, which serves up much the same menu that regulars have come to know at the original location. Drinks range from beer and wine to cocktails.
With a three-star Yelp rating out of five reviews, it is still finding its way.
Yelper Shari S. wrote, "Wings looked good, but not much flavor. Everyone else's burger looked big, but wimpy fries and even with everyone saying they are glad Red Star opened, I overheard the same - 'just OK at best.'"
Brianne W. noted, "The restaurant looks great on the inside, but probably needs some better signage outside to bring more customers in. We were a little disappointed that brunch was not yet offered at this location, but our waitress assured us that it would start next week."
Red Star Restaurant is open from 11 a.m.-midnight on Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-2 a.m. on Saturday, and 10 am.-midnight on Sunday.
29th Street Tavern
398 W. 29th St., Remington
29th Street Tavern is a bar in the former Long John's Pub space that serves wraps, sandwiches and more. You'll find a number of sandwiches on the menu, like the black bean and veggie burger, the seared tuna pita, and a French dip.
The spot offers pub appetizers like tater tots, wings and macaroni and cheese, and a few soups and salads round out the menu. Only two beers on tap, but many more are available by the bottle.
29th Street Tavern's current Yelp rating of 4.5 stars out of seven reviews indicates positive attention.
Yelper Mel B., who reviewed 29th Street Tavern on March 21, wrote, "This place is our new spot. A few blocks away, friendly service, great bar food and of course, good beer."
Eileen H. noted, "Best local bar I've been to in Baltimore. Great happy hour specials, good drinks on tap, food was good without trying to be too special. A solid tavern and local spot."
29th Street Tavern is open from 11 a.m.-2 a.m. daily.
Blooming Deli
1448 Light St., SBIC
Blooming Deli serves sandwiches and non-alcoholic drinks and is owned by the same people behind next-door In Bloom, which shuttered earlier this year. The deli features Boar's Head meats and Stonewall Bakery breads, and you'll find sandwiches like Amish chicken salad, pastrami, and paninis made to order.
Blooming Deli currently holds 4.5 stars out of seven Yelp reviews, indicating good reviews.
Yelper Shaelyn N., one of the first users to visit Blooming Deli on April 27, wrote, "I love this place! The food is so good, it's well priced and the employees are friendly. My favorite item is the ham egg and cheese bagel sandwich."
Yelper Chris B. wrote, "It would be nice to see a couple healthier meat options (turkey bacon, turkey sausage, etc.) for people like me who are obsessed with breakfast sandwiches but could stand to lose a few pounds."
Blooming Deli is open from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. on Monday, 7 a.m.–3 p.m. on Tuesday-Friday, and 8 a.m.–3 p.m. on weekends.
