I drove to the new location at 1029 W Baltimore St and there is not a restaurant with this name over here. I called the number, it played an automated message with the location changed and new opening date. Today is January 8th. I called to see if there is a person that can direct us to the correct place, but couldn’t reach a person. Per Google, they should be open.

Amazing food and service!
We walked in without a reservation, and we were seated promptly and were introduced to the menu. Their signature peach ice tea was so delicious and sweet! The complimentary corn bread with sweet potato butter was to die for. We also had the crab Mac & cheese, the baby back ribs, and the fried catfish and grits. All were so delicious. The catfish and grits especially were really good. The service was great and our drinks were kept full.
One of the best meals in Baltimore for sure!

Black owned, family run restaurant. Food and drinks were delicious. The chicken was slightly undercooked and they didn’t hesitate to put the skillet back in the oven. It came back fully cooked and delicious!
I’d recommend: Cornbread skillet (perfect for sharing), BBQ chicken w mac & cheese and collard greens, and BBQ ribs w mash and asparagus.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Darker than Blue in Baltimore, and I must say, the experience was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and friendly customer service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our group of 12 felt welcome and comfortable.
Now, let’s talk about the food. Oh my goodness, it was simply outstanding! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. Whether you’re a seafood lover or prefer something more savory, Darker than Blue has something to satisfy every palate. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and each dish is crafted with care and attention to detail.
In addition to the incredible food, I was also blown away by the quality of the drinks. The bartenders at Darker than Blue truly know their craft and create delicious and refreshing beverages. I highly recommend trying one of their signature cocktails or exploring their extensive wine list.
Overall, my experience at Darker than Blue was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of delectable food, top-notch customer service, and inviting atmosphere make it a must-visit restaurant in Baltimore. I would rate my experience a perfect 10/10 and will definitely be returning in the future.

This was our first time. The food was absolutely delicious. It all came out piping hot. I had the short ribs w/ mac & cheese and greens
Hubby had the fried chicken platter came w/mac & cheese, greens and sweet potatoes. Oh and the cornbread…yes honey! The portions are plentiful. Our waiter Tyler was very friendly and professional. Definitely have to visit again. Please be sure to call and make reservations, they do not accept walk-ins. It’s so worth it!

My family and I had an amazing dinner at Darker than Blue Grill lastnight. Everyone was blown away at how good everything was. Being a Chef myself I give praise to the Chef for “hot” and amazingly seasoned food! We had the Cornbread, wings and Poppers for appetizers. My daughter ordered the Chicken and Waffles, my wife had the southern platter, and I had the Red Snapper! Only complaint is I didn’t order another Red Snapper to go! Definitely will be back!!

After reading the majority of reviews, some can put you off and make you second guess going. The facility is strict, but they did also give consideration to my handicapped mother who is not able to stand for long. Honestly the individual that answers the phone is not the most charming (over the phone) and very direct. But like me, do not let that deter you because once we arrived (All on time) we were seated and the owner is VERY FRIENDLY and pleasant individual. Every dish we were served was piping hot. The shrimp and grits were still sizzling in the cast iron pans. We went for my husband’s Birthday and he was very happy and the food was amazing. Even the individual who answered the phone was one of the servers and he’s more personable and about his business in person. Our drinks were kept full and they were quick to bring us whatever was requested (condiments etc..) Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed, just don’t arrive late ♀️

My family and I visited this restaurant yesterday for my birthday and we enjoyed every minute of it. From the food to service, everything was phenomenal! The appetizers especially the complimentary cornbread, stuffed shrimp and the fried lemon pepper wings were our favorite! Reservations are required, so be sure to book yours soon! We will most definitely be back.

My experience here was perhaps one of my worst dining experiences In Baltimore. The bartender/waiter was not friendly at all. He gave off the energy that we were some how inconveniencing him by being there from the moment we walked in the door. They don’t have a drink menu, had no beer at all, no burgers (we found out after ordering), and the dishes were dirty. When we brought to bartender that our wine glasses were dirty, he said its from the dish washer and there was nothing he could do about that but pour it in to another glass. As if we had to take it or leave it. Which my wife and are choosing to leave it and never consider going there again. We thought maybe the food would end up being good in the end despite the poor service but they missed the mark on that as well. We ordered the lemon pepper wings and they had little to no flavor. We were really excited to try this place since we are locals but unless there is a dramatic change in the attitude of the staff and improvement in the quality of service overall, they wont make it unfortunately.

The four of us had a blast. Food is excellent. We had the jerk chicken, fried chicken, dressed red snapper, seafood creole. Oh I can’t forgot the cornbread. And the service was superb. Casey the chef is so friendly. We really enjoyed our time of great food and fellowship. We will return.
