The food here is amazing and we didn't mind waiting an hour. It was worth the wait. We were recommend to come here from our waitress at McCormick and Schmidt. The drinks were delicious and the food was amazing. We would come back to Baltimore just to come to Miss Shirley's café.

After seeing that Miss Shirley's had the best breakfast in town we had to try it out and it totally lived up to its claim! We started off with some strawberry lemonade mojitos. These were absolutely delicious. The mint made it taste so nice and fresh and it wasn't overly sweet. I ended up getting the Eddie's Two Cage Free Eggs. I opted for poached eggs and these came out perfect! They placed them on two different cut outs of bread (I believe sour dough and rye) which was so nice because when I cut into them, I was able to dip the bread in the yolk. For my protein I got the sage sausage patty and it was so tasty. For my side I had to pick the grits and let me tell you, these were some of the best grits I've ever had! They were so creamy and had pieces of bacon, which gave such a nice flavor. The meal also came with a pimento cheese biscuit, which had to be the best biscuit I've ever had in my life. It was so savory and satisfying. I wish I could have taken a whole box of them home. If you're ever in Baltimore this is a must go to. I already can't wait to go back.

One of our favorite places to eat breakfast or brunch. We have been here about 4 or 5 times over the years and they never disappoint. The food here is just off the charts and is always worth the wait. The devil eggs and Fried green tomatoes were delicious as well as everything we eat here. We have never had a bad dish at this establishment. Service always top notch especially on a most recent visit with a young man named Jeremiah who might be one of the best waiters we have ever had. They have award winning plaques and articles that cover their walls and I can see why.

Make sure you have a reservation. Service was great. The shrimp devil eggs was amazing . The French toast was good as well but very big, Two people can definitely share. The turkey sausage was tasty. The crab soup was good and spicy. The decor is nice and show their attributes on the walls.

A must-try if you're in downtown Baltimore! Be prepared for a wait as they don't take reservations, and instead you have to show up to put your name on a list. That being said, we only had to wait about 15 minutes on a busy Sunday morning. The earlier you go, the better! Everyone at the table tried something different, and all enjoyed their meal, including the less adventurous kids. I had the stuffed coconut cream French toast as it was featured on the Food Network. Half the portion would be enough for me, and my dining companions thankfully helped me finish it. I wish it was offered with more berries as it was so rich and delicious but needed some acidity to round it out. I also tried the crab hash eggs Benedict and had secret FOMO that I should have ordered it! We sat outside, next to a cute little canal that I didn't know existed. They had umbrellas for shade and it was tolerable despite the heat. Would be back!

I finally tried the much touted Miss Shirley's - talked up by my coworkers for years. And yeah, they're right. While they love the pancakes, I just can't eat big platefuls of sweet things for breakfast (or ever, really). My companion was nice enough to let me have a few bites of her cinnamon danish pancakes, which was all I wanted and would have been able to manage. They were almost supernaturally fluffy and really more rich than overly sweet due to the cream cheese icing. What I ordered was pretty much what I would dream up if I were tasked with creating an ideal breakfast dish: a crab cake benedict over fried green tomatoes with a generous helping of hash made with corn and asparagus (well, I wouldn't have added the asparagus, but it worked here). This was just... perfect. My issue with benedicts is always 'too much English muffin'... well, sub the muffin with a fried green tomato! Then throw an extra one under the hash for the hell of it. And somehow keep it crispy even under all this other food. The poached eggs were super runny and coated the whole plate with yummy dippable yolk. The crab cakes were basically just giant hunks of crab barely held together by a prayer - not excess breading here.

You will definitely have to wait...* Yes another DDD review. Just leave your phone # and they will text you when a table is available. They gave us a 45 minute window and it took that long. Our adult libations were a mimosa on her end and Bloody Mary for myself. If you have a sweet tooth try those warm peach cobbler biscuits as a starter. Sinfully good. Once again, just pass on the powdered sugar on top. She ordered the blueberry lemon goat cheese stuffed French toast off the specials menu. A good part of that made it back to our hotel. Portions again a very hearty. I chose the crab hash eggs Benedict. Yum. :) It's a fun place to start the weekend. * But so worth it.

The service was good. For strawberry donuts to start. Keep in mind they only come with 2 donuts. I appreciated the amount of sauce on it, as I don't like things to be drenched in topping. Soft and delicious. I recommend. The eggs had the perfect amount of cheese melt on them. It didn't feel like they just threw two slices of Kraft on there and called it a day. Really impressed. My guest enjoyed the savory chicken and waffles, however, it did not come with syrup, which they had to ask for. The cranberry juice is tart and bitter, not sweet. My other guest got a strawberry lemonade, which they enjoyed. The French toast serving is generous. If you want specialty whipped cream, it's $5. The oatmeal was eclectic and delicious. A little runny, for me, though. Not too loud, however, some tables are kind of close together. Parking is in the back of the restaurant, which is rare, if you know Baltimore.

This place serves some yummy food! It opens at 8 in the morning and there was already a small line. We were quickly seated. I ordered coffee on all my visits. It was consistently delicious each time. Served piping hot with a side of half and half. Our server kept the cup full all the time. Everything I ordered on my visits were well spiced and flavorful. I really enjoyed the homemade pimento cheese biscuits. Wow they are fantastic! There is also another variety- a cobbler, which I tried once but didn't care for as much. The appetizer of eggs with the hot honey was funky and interesting. It was unique and worth trying. It had all of the textures and seasonings. On my most recent visit I had the Maryland omelette. It was loaded with crab and pure delicious flavors. It was filling but kind of pricey. The side of potatoes were not as crispy as I would have liked. Overall this place is worth the visit. Highly recommended.
