The Corner Stable
The Corner Stable, located in a small, oddly shaped building, has been a Baltimore institution for years thanks to its unbeatable baby back ribs and enormous Maryland crab cakes. If you can happen to resist the urge to try these two legendary dishes, you will find that The Corner Stable also serves impressive steaks. You can also get a New York Strip with both the ribs and the crab cake if you think you can handle it.
