Fraternal Order of Police

Hung out at the FOP Lounge for a football game. The kitchen has a menu mostly limited to your standard bar food, but what they do, the do pretty well, and it doesn’t cost much. The Lady Baltimore Wrap ($ 6.95) was grilled chicken, peppers, onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese, in a tomato tortilla, then griddled; good heft, warm, and filling. Seafood Skins ($ 9.95) had real crab and whole shrimp in them, broiled with cheese until gooey, and the skins crusty, mildly seasoned with Old Bay, served with cooling sour cream. My ½ lb. steamed shrimp ($ 7.95) were decently sized (U21−25), not over steamed, plenty of Old Bay, served with a very horseradish-​y cocktail sauce (strange addition of steamed potatoes in the basket, but whatever). Hot wings, chicken quesadilla, and the Blackened Catfish Caesar Salad had by others were pronounced «very good». There were $ 1 Bud drafts, 4 flat-​screen TVs, and plenty of space and exuberant cheering. Pretty good way to spend a weekend day — in the company of Baltimore’s finest enjoying a riveting football game with good food and drink.
