Gypsy's Truckstaurant
3515 Clipper Mill Rd., Hampden
Gypsy's Truckstaurant is a New American spot offering street food-inspired bites.
The head chefs from Helen's Garden, Annmarie Langton and Tom Looney, and Gypsy Queen Café teamed up in 2001 to establish Gypsy's Truckstaurant. The new brick-and-mortar restaurant offers a wide selection of fare — like the signature Gypsy Queen's Famous Crab Cake waffle cone, a falafel salad and a Baja shrimp burrito.
The new Gypsy's Truckstaurant location currently holds a Yelp rating of four stars out of five reviews, indicating positive attention from users.
Yelper Jessica P., who reviewed Gypsy's Truckstaurant on Nov. 3, wrote, “This new Truckstaurant is delicious. I visited this location on 10/26/18 and had the best dinner ever… I tried the crab mash and my husband had a seafood wrap. The food was so savory, and I didn't want the meal to end.”
Yelper Emily T. wrote, “Gypsy's Truckstaurant is a new favorite already! We tried the pulled pork nachos, which were on point, bacon wrapped dates that were stuffed with gorgonzola, Korean beef tacos (which are always an A+) and the gyro was good but not even close to the Korean beef tacos!”
Gypsy's Truckstaurant is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 3-9 p.m. on Sunday. (It's closed on Monday.)
Bmore Righteous
13 W. 25th St., Charles Village
Bmore Righteous is a vegan and vegetarian spot, offering veggie-based burgers, sandwiches and more.
The new Charles Village eatery lets diners select a variety of fresh ingredients to build their vegan burger or sandwich from start to finish.
Start by choosing the bread, then select from a list of proteins: vegan burger, vegan chicken patty, vegan spicy chicken patty, vegan chicken scaloppini, barbecue jackfruit and turmeric tofu. Add a vegan cheese, like the creamy field roast chao, then top it off with leafy greens and other selections, like red onions or kimchi, and a sauce.
Yelp users are excited about Bmore Righteous, which currently holds five stars out of four reviews on the site.
Yelper J T., who reviewed Bmore Righteous on Sept. 20, wrote, “It’s a great new vegan and build-your-own burger restaurant. There are many options, including vegan burger, spicy chicken, chickpea toona and barbecue jackfruit. There’s also lots of toppings to choose from. The Old Bay seasoned fries are really good too.”
Yelper Brian S. wrote, “I got a barbecue jackfruit sandwich with red onions and beet slaw. A very good combination, and it had a tasty wheat bun. It also came with Old Bay fries, which are a Baltimore must!”
Bmore Righteous is open from noon–8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday as well as Thursday-Saturday. (It's closed on Wednesday and Sunday.)
Killa Dogz
6605 Belair Road, Cedmont
Killa Dogz is a spot to score hot dogs and more.
The shop serves several signature hot dogs — as well as veggie dogs, polish dogs, Italian sausages and beef franks — smothered in toppings.
Try the Mac and Cheese Dog that's topped with homemade mac and crumbled bacon; the Pigster Dog hot dog topped with pulled pork, bacon and mustard; or go with the Nacho Dog, a hot dog that's buried under tortilla strips, salsa, sour cream, guacamole and shredded cheese.
Each hot dog can also be paired with fries or fried pickles.
With a 4.5-star Yelp rating out of three reviews on Yelp, Killa Dogz is slowly rising in its early days.
Yelper Jennifer M., who was one of the first users to visit Killa Dogz on Sept. 15, wrote, “They have hot dogs loaded with so many options: macaroni and cheese, chili, crab meat, sauerkraut, bacon and so much more! You can get a turkey dog, beef dog, chicken and even veggie. And they have fresh bread delivered daily.”
Yelper Chalise M. wrote, "…the macaroni and cheese was delicious, and the roll delivered freshness… The hot dog was tasty, it was meaty and wasn't salty.”
Killa Dogz is open from 11 a.m.–8 p.m. on Tuesday-Thursday and noon–midnight on Friday and Saturday. (It's closed on Monday and Sunday.)
