Yes, there are meatballs and I’ll get to that in a minute.
There are starters like charcuterie, fried pickles, bruschetta of the day and
rotating specials. Salads, yes – house
salad, seasonal salad and roasted veggies.
Starches, check – mashed potatoes, creamy, cheesy polenta, a daily
risotto, white beans and kale and spaghetti or rigatoni. Put an egg on it, available for a small
surcharge. Your sweet tooth isn’t ignored – churros with dipping sauce and ice
cream by the scoop.
Burger King was on to something a long time ago with the
concept of “having it your way.” As fast food chains like McDonalds and others
like them are scrambling to get their customers back, fast casual concept
restaurants that let you choose your ingredients, creating a meal to your
personal preferences are the rage. Enter Baltimore’s latest fast casual concept,
8 Ball Meatball that is opening this Sunday, February 21st in Fells Point at the old Tapas Adela
location, 814 South Broadway.
Owner, local Paul Weitz, “There are a ton of great
restaurant options in Fells Point, but we hope to bring something unique to the
table (pun intended). This is a town that appreciates solid, high-quality food
and we are very optimistic our customizable meatball selections will hit the
spot.”
Open for lunch daily at 11 a.m. and until midnight from
Sunday, through Wednesday and 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday – perfect for
the bar patrons in the waterfront neighborhood.
As the 8 Ball Meatball website says, anything can be
made into a meatball. The restaurant will offer four types of meatballs daily —
classic, gluten-free herb chicken, spicy pork and vegetarian — and five sauces,
classic tomato, Parmesan cream, spicy pork, pesto and mushroom gravy. A fifth
rotating "special ball" and sauce will also be available each
night. Customers can order their meatball selection to be served in a
bowl, as a sub or sliders with their choice of side dishes.
Oh, don’t let me forget that guests can imbibe with a beer,
wine or a craft cocktail.
