12/30/2008 - Food was ok and staff was initially courteous during busy time, after hours. We were very understanding, communicating no problem for delay in service...wait staff seemed to be working hard. When presented with bill, wait staff was given $40 on $20 bill, and actually asked if change was needed...100% tip, are you NUTS? This was not a 5 Star restaurant....however, I did have empathy and said only $10 change was needed, which was a 50% tip - she provided me change with No thank you, and Attitude...I will never go back....a simple thank is all that was needed!!

Open 24 hours a day, Sip & Bite offers a wide-variety of food for an affordable price. Voted best crab cake in 2005, it offers seafood to burgers to grilled cheese and soup. It is located right on Boston street, so it is easily accessible. Very casual with a counter open for eating or booths, sip & bite is not very large but offers a lot for such a small restaurant. The service was average, but overall the value was great for what you get!

I started coming to this place when I was thirteen, back in 1995, and I have been coming ever since. I've since moved away from Baltimore, having lived in Los Angeles and Raleigh, NC, and I have to say that this is still my favorite greasy spoon. I mean, it's a diner that serves beer, first of all. And the crowning jewel is the crabcake. I grew up in Baltimore. I grew up eating delicious crabcakes at street fairs, carnivals, slapped off a spatula onto a plate in my grandmother's kitchen, and all over the city. Since leaving B-more, I've ordered crabcakes in various establishments in all levels of restaurants across the nation, which have never equaled the quality of the humble Baltimore crabcake. And Sip & Bite's version is by far and away the best of the bunch. Lots of crabmeat, tender and unobtrusive breading, a delicate flavor and fork-tender consistency make this crabcake the staple of my visits to the old hometown. The fries are crispy and not too salty, the pickled beets are tangy and just right, and the waitstaff is competent and not annoying. One can smoke in this restaurant, the bathrooms are small, but seem clean, and it is open all night. I can't think of a bad thing to say about this place -- I am a devout foodie, and I still prefer the grimy-diner ambiance and delicious greasy food of Sip & Bite to pretty much anywhere in the city. Go, and enjoy! Pros: cheap food, crab cakes, 24-hours, offers beer, smoking establishment, consistent service, coat racks. Cons: parking during lunch can be difficult.

I had a really bad experience at Sip and Bite in which both the cook and our server were way beyond the normal range of rude to us. I have no idea why. The food is average, avoid steak. It is open 24 hours but I am now afraid of the staff and will never go back. Pros: cheap, decent food, 24 hours Cons: , parking

This isn't Denny's or Waffle House but more like a local version. You'll get served when the food's ready and they get around to taking care of you. If you get there and it's busy, be prepared to hang around waiting for a table to leave and seat yourself. Once you do get your food, it'll be hot, fresh and delicious. It's good, cheap and open 24 hours. Pros: Cheap, Non-smoking
