Garden Restaurant is a locals only establishment, and by locals only I mean "locals living within 2 blocks and not having transportation somewhere better" frequent this place.  It's located on a very busy corner, going from most of Baltimore to the Shopper's Food Warehouse, you're going to make a turn in front of this restaurant.  I'd seen the place for years and years and never ventured inside.

For some reason I always thought the place served chinese food, but I was wrong.  In keeping with my motto to "boldly go," I gave this place a shot late one night.

It's basically a corner bar/lounge, very smoky, vinyl seats like your grandma's kitchen used to have, the place reeks of stale cigarette smoke.

But you know what?  If you're looking for some quick eat in the early morning hours, you actually can't go all that wrong by stopping in and grabbing an egg sandwich (To Go).  :)  For their decent egg sandwhich, I bumped them up a star.
