This is one of the few things Baltimore does well! We have many food 'markets' that are essentially small stalls run by independent businesses with common seating areas, tray returns, limited bussing, and open seating.

https://r.housebaltimore.com/ has become extremely popular, and several markets are being renovated with a similar approach. The prices vary somewhat depending on the type of stall, but in general they are within a fast-food price-range, not a restaurant.
