This small corner restaurant has been the cornerstone of the neighborhood for decades. As locals know, certain days have certain specials. Go on Thursday for the BEST sour beef and dumplings in Baltimore. Expect a small wait on the weekends unless you want to sit at the counter but the wait's not too long because the tables turn pretty quickly.
This is home-cooking, nothing fancy or froufrou like some of the other places that have sprung up (and closed rather quickly) in the area. It's solid and reliable. I've never had a bad meal there. I've tried to recreate their beef barley soup with no sucess so I just order extra to go when it's on the menu!
Mr. Rallo is a sweetheart who remembers his customers and makes them feel like they've known him forever (which is actually true for the long-time Locust Pointers) and makes you want to keep coming back.
