About

Golden West will now have a service fee for staff on all orders. During this pandemic, are staff has put themselves and their families at risk to bring our guests delicious food, drink and treats. We are very grateful to them for keeping us up and running since the shutdown began. Their dedication and commitment to even more stringent cleaning and sanitation has been remarkable. NO NEED TO TIP ON TOP of the service fee unless you are feeling overwhelmingly generous.

We appreciate your support as always, especially now. As we face the winter months, we want you to know how much it means when you support a small business. You keep 23 people working, paying rent, buying food, providing for their families and maintaining their health insurance. We ask that of course, that when visiting the window or our outdoor seating area, that you continue to adhere to the CDC Guidelines by wearing masks, staying 6 ft apart and using hand sanitizer. Together, we can make it to the other side of this pandemic, safely.

Thank you,

Sam Claassen

Golden West Cafe is a beloved Baltimore culinary institution, serving Americana cuisine and Southwest comfort food, rooted in traditional New Mexican specialties. After opening more than 20 years ago in a tiny space on “The Avenue” in Hampden, Golden West relocated to its current, larger space in 2003, in order to accommodate the constantly expanding crowd of loyal regulars and curious new customers.

We are a collection of favorite things.

We serve and support our community.
