Had a great lunch here with friends this afternoon. All of the food was good-- the chili, meatballs in house made marinara, turkey wrap and El Diablo (spicy turkey burger). The only thing everyone at our table commented on was we wished the food was served just a little bit hotter (the chili and meatballs were only slightly warm). Otherwise there's plenty of seating both at high tops, regular table and bar. Our waiter (Tyler) was also great-- he was very attentive, quick, and friendly. Would definitely come back again when friends are visiting!

The food was great. (I got a burger with sweet potato fries) the ambiance/decor is cool and very homey. But the best part of all was the service. After stopping at a few different spots and being turned away because of my sweet girl, Kooper's Tavern opened their arms to us. They gave her her own ice water bowl as well as many treats and pets. 10/10

We stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. Service was great; our server was friendly and attentive. I loved the dog themed decor! Very cute. We chose to share a bowl of chili which came with tortilla chips. The chili was unique in that it had a bit of a sweet flavor. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but after a couple of bites I decided I liked it and it worked well with the kick of spice. My bf loved it. It hit the spot on a chilly night. Overall, this is a fun spot to check out and I'll return for sure.

A group of us came here from work for a team lunch. We were greeted upon entering and seated upstairs. We all put in our orders with the server and someone got the Nachos appetizer to share with the table. It was a huge dish and everyone was able to enjoy some of it. The chips were crispy and had lots of flavor with the melted cheese, bell peppers, onions, and jalapeño peppers. I really enjoyed the Fish Tacos I got. They were perfectly cooked and the jalapeño ranch was so flavorful. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dish. I've been here a couple times in the past but it had been a while so it was nice to come back and have a great experience again. A casual bar style restaurant with friendly staff and good food.

Came here for a little bite to eat for lunch. I ordered the Crab Cake with fries. The crab cake has strong crab taste and the fries are extra crispy. Service was quick and waitress was attentive. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

When the sun is shining and it's warm outside nothing hits better than enjoying an orange crush and a crab cake in Baltimore. I promise you! I used to frequent Kooper's Tavern a lot when I used to live in Baltimore and I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Their crab cakes and crab cake sandwiches still hit (not the best in the city but good) and the orange crushes are delicious. Everything is priced well in my opinion and I love that they have outside seating options. Staff was fine, we did feel forgotten about a couple of times but I can imagine that's because of the back and forth that the server has to do as well as they may have been a little short staffed on this day that we came. All in all, highly recommend checking out Kooper's Tavern in Fells point on the next nice day. It's right by the water.

While visiting Baltimore my husband and I stopped in here because we were walking around the bay. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Lynn was super friendly and attentive to us. My husband got the Koopers Yellow Lab Lager and it was good and flavorful. I got a spicy bloodmary. I liked that the bartender asked how I wanted it spicy with horseradish or jalapeños. I wanted it with Tabasco sauce and she added it no problem! They were having brunch at the time so I got the Lox and the works. When the food came to me I had to assemble my bagel myself. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing since everyone likes their bagels their way. The salmon that came with it was good and seemed fresh. On the menu it says the lox and the works comes with fresh fruit or potatoes so I got the potatoes. The potatoes weren't bad but they came out cold and tasted like they had no seasoning. Also, I got charged on my bill for them even though the menu said "served with potatoes or fresh fruit". The bartender took it off no problem. My husband got the gumbo and it was delicious. It had a good amount of shrimp and meat in it and was super good! This was a good place to come on a Sunday and get a quick bite.
