Miss Shirley’s Cafe on West Cold Spring Lane in Baltimore’s Roland Park neighborhood has been one of the city’s most celebrated breakfast and brunch destinations since Eddie Dopkin opened it in 2005, building a menu around the creative, scratch-made Southern-influenced morning food that earns a Baltimore restaurant its national food media reputation and its multiple locations across the city. It appeared in Season 24, Episode 2 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Family Legacies,” which aired January 15, 2016. Guy Fieri found a Baltimore breakfast kitchen doing Southern-influenced morning food from scratch with the quality and creative energy that earns a neighborhood cafe its destination reputation across the city.

What to Eat
The Crab Cake Benedict with Maryland Blue crab cake and Chesapeake-spiced hollandaise is the signature that earns Miss Shirley’s its Baltimore reputation — a brunch item that could only exist in Maryland. The House-Made Biscuits with rotating seasonal accompaniments are the Southern morning item worth arriving early for. The Pancakes with creative seasonal toppings and house-made syrups are the sweet option most regulars add when they can’t commit to the savory menu alone. Find a Baltimore hotel on Trivago.
