Pete's Grille

Welcome to Pete’s Grille! This establishment has been operational as Pete’s Grille for over 50 years. An easy walk from John’s Hopkins University and Union Memorial Hospital, steps away from the 32nd Street Farmer’s Market, and located on a main thoroughfare for those driving downtown, our clientele is an eclectic group. We have many regulars, addressed by name as they walk in the door—providing a Cheers type of atmosphere. Counter seating only, and only 28 of those, means you might have a conversation with your neighbor and experience the true ambiance of Pete’s. Our food is just fabulous—after all, we haven’t survived and prospered for over 50 years on ambiance alone! All food is prepared in front of you, generously portioned, and made with the freshest and finest ingredients. We are proud to have been recognized as Baltimore’s Best Breakfast many times over the years, most recently in 2010 by the Baltimore City Paper and again in 2011 by Baltimore Magazine. We became world famous when Olympian Michael Phelps talked about the gargantuan breakfasts he enjoyed at Pete’s while training. People have come to Pete’s from Europe to film and interview us as well as to eat and take pictures of the place where Michael eats! But Pete’s is not just about breakfast alone. We also have great lunch offerings, specials and delicious 10 oz. burgers, hand-made daily, cooked on the charcoal grill. Our friendly and efficient staff is a group of well seasoned (just like our burgers!) professionals, dedicated to your having a great experience at Pete’s. Our lead waitress, Debbie, has been at Pete’s for 30 years (and she is only 39! LOL), and John, our kitchen manager, for 20. Pete’s is independently owned and operated by Dave and Darlene who cook and waitress and are on premises daily. There may be a short (10-15 min.) wait on weekends but you are served your food within minutes of ordering. Come see us, you won’t be disappointed, and you may become a regular! Open 7 days a week, serving breakfast and lunch.
