Miss Shirley's Cafe, Roland Park

I was in the area and it was recommended I try out Miss Shirley's. Totally seems like a local institution. Parking in the neighborhoods. Short wait for seating on a holiday Friday. Large number of seating rooms but plenty of people. Had B-more breakfast bowl which was an awesome combination of lightly cooked vegetables, and since I eat plant-based I didn't add any protein. I also ordered a side of shredded potatoes and onion hash browns which was a great combination. My wife had the coconut cream stuffed french toast which I tried and it was amazing both in presentation and taste. Value is a little pricey but worth it for an institution. Menu has such variety.

Excellent southern food close to home! The fried chicken was crispy, moist and slightly sweet, over a bed of perfectly cooked grits full of flavor. The biscuits were slightly spicy with a cheesy flavor and a perfectly baked texture. The collard greens were tender and had no bitterness to them. The buttermilk pancakes were perfectly cooked and had a slightly sweet flavor which was complimented by toppings to make it your favorite dish anywhere. The portions are big enough to satisfy your appetite or to give you something yummy for enjoying at home later! We'll definitely be coming back!

Had a great breakfast! Service was great, always checking on is and refilling our drinks. Highly recommend the deviled eggs, and loved the gluten free options! Rare to find good gluten free pancakes but they had them!

Great local brunch place with great mimosa I went there with my friends on Saturday around noon. It was packed but it took less than 15 min for the wait to get seated. I ordered the Baltimore Bowl which was really good. It was very filling. My friends had pancake with banana and chicken & waffle. They were both good. I would like to try mimosa next time. They seem to have a variety of drinks Parking is difficult unless you park somewhere residential area nearby.

Amazing food and service! I love this location. It’s so much easier to park than the other one and we didn’t have to wait. Granted, it was on a Tuesday midday, but still there was space for us. The manager and server were super nice. I can’t eat gluten and the manager came over to make sure he understood how severe my allergy was so he could tell the kitchen. It was very thoughtful and I appreciate it. They have a really well labeled menu in terms of allergens as well. Out of all of the gluten-free pancakes I’ve had in Baltimore, these are some of the best! My friend got the cheese and tomato sandwich and really enjoyed it.
