Before we jump into the list of Baltimore restaurants that deliver, we want to take a minute to explain why eating out is safe during the coronavirus quarantine. NJ Advance Media spoke to Donald Schaffner, a Rutgers University professor and extension specialist in food science with expertise in microbial risk assessment and hand washing. He did a great job of explaining the science behind why eating out is safe.
“If it is on food, it’ll go through the acid of your stomach and even if it gets through your stomach, this virus is designed to attack your lungs not necessarily your gastrointestinal system,” Schaffner said.
Schaffner recommended paying with a credit card and letting the restaurant or delivery service know that you want to request contactless delivery. Postmates and UberEats both allow you to request that the driver leave your delivery at the door. Of course, wash your hands thoroughly after you take the food out of the bag and immediately before you eat too!

Baltimore-Area Restaurants Open for Take-out or Delivery
Please keep in mind that this is not a complete list. If you do not see a restaurant here, give them a call and see if they are open. I am sure they would be happy to accommodate your order. Many Baltimore restaurants and bars are open for carryout. It was hard to highlight them all!
You can even order extra and freeze meals so that you have food ready to eat quickly. This is especially helpful for those of us trying to manage to work from home, teaching our children a self-made learning curriculum, and juggling other everyday tasks like paying bills and doing laundry! So give yourself a break and support local today!
