Providing a refined counterpoint to Nacho Mamas brash Baltimore attitude, this mama offers a semi-formal dining room upstairs and a raw bar-heavy happy hour downstairs. The dark, upscale interior and slightly higher prices coerce a more mature crowd than other Canton hot spots, but Mamas never lacks a crowd.

A delicate red wine vinaigrette simply accents the huge oysters on the half shell, while the more complicated oysters Rockefeller are indeed rich enough for a millionaire. Just the right amount of Old Bay holds together the crab cakes' chunks of back fin. Small touches, like the crunchy dill pickle in the tartar sauce or the crouton slathered in a savory olive paste for the Caesar salad, prove... more

What to Drink

To speed things up, combine drinking and eating with a vodka-and-cocktail-sauce Oyster Shooter or the Blue on Blue--a Blue Point oyster and cocktail sauce shot with a four-ounce Pabst Blue Ribbon chaser.

The humble oyster takes center stage at this pearl of a restaurant in Canton.

The Scene Like its neighbor and namesake Nacho Mama's, this place has a sense of fun. With the bar area's tight layout and friendly atmosphere, you can't help but be a bit chummy with fellow patrons while slurping oysters and beer. Upstairs an eclectic collection of local memorabilia keeps this very Victorian room--decorated with fringed velvet, dark wood and tasseled... more

Twenty years ago I said in a review of a popular Baltimore seafood house: "When finally the weeds are pushing their way through the Chart House's foundations and the lizards are sunning themselves on Harborplace's abandoned terraces, I have the feeling Connolly's will still be dishing out crab cakes and fried oysters."

Naturally it closed not long after I wrote the review. The reason I... more

I went two weeks ago with a group of friends..seven of us. They start you off with cheese and crackers. sSeveral of us orderd the crab cake, garden salad with the dressing, and mac-n-cheese. It was great! I cleared my plate. The drink of Malibu Rum and pineapple juice..needs more rum..but in a nice size glass. I enjoyed the atmosphere..steep steps and small restaurant, but overall great... more

I was in Maryland a couple of years ago and I made it to Mama's twice. Each time I had the crab cakes and they were the best ever! I've had cakes from all over, and I can't wait to get back. Great atmosphere, especially when there's a Steelers and Ravens game on.

Pros

+ Great food and beverages.

Cons

- None

This is my first time writing a review. And I never take the time to do these things, but I have to say that Mama's on the Half Shell is AWESOME! My husband invests in Real Estate in B-more (we're from Germantown, MD) so every time we go visit his properties, I make him take me to Mama's. The Fish & Chips are amazing--that's what my husband gets. And it's a huge portion, so we often have to... more
