Noisy restaurants and restaurants with soul
The nominations for both the area's noisiest restaurants (please feel free to include places outside of Baltimore in your suggestions) and for restaurants with soul continue to pour in. OK, maybe dribble in would be more accurate. But in any case, please keep them coming. Pretty soon we'll have enough for Top 10s for the next two weeks. I love that.

What might be more interesting is to see if anyone can recommend a noisy restaurant that has soul. I don't see the two as being mutually exclusive.

Noisy with soul? Farrell's!

Farrell's lives again? Well, I'll be damned. One of Mrs. Bucky's and my first dates was to a Farrell's...back in the day.
Is there one in Baltimore? The website makes it look like there's only one in Santa Clarita. (And two in Hawai'i! But on the wrong island.)
Hmmm...lunch at In-N-Out and dessert at Farrell's. Might be worth a trip, just for the nostalgia of it.

I don't think the Golden Ring area ever recovered from the closing of Farrell's. I know that I never went back to that mall after Farrell's left.

To me, the smaller neighborhood places automatically have a soul advantage over anything in, say, a shopping center And it's not just about the space itself, I think it has as much to do with the people.
You find more regulars and run into neighbors at a place like Peter's Inn, B bistro, or The Dizz.
