Located in the bustling Lexington Market, this rudimentary eatery has changed very little since its founding in 1886. From the drink menu, order the Bloody Mary which ranks as one of the best in Baltimore, or check out the variety of fruit crush drinks. Visit Mama's and judge for yourself if it has achieved its goal of being the "real" Baltimore seafood restaurant. Try the tuna sashimi, stuffed shrimp or fresh oysters as an entree. This admittedly cocky attitude seems to have paid off, however, since Mama's has received four out of five stars on both Yelp and Google Reviews from Baltimoreans who can't stop talking about the great food, drink menus and service. Drop in for brunch and try the scallops with spinach and potato pancakes as an appetizer. Mama's makes the somewhat lofty claim of being "the real taste of Baltimore seafood," having been founded in 2003 in response to what the owners describe as a lack of a "real" Baltimore seafood restaurant. Or if you're watching your calories, you can't do better than the whole-leaf spinach and fried oyster salad with cremini mushrooms, leeks and a warmed, applewood-bacon vinaigrette. In terms of hand-made dedication to succulent seafood, Thames Street Oyster House is the place to go.

Of course, the oysters Rockefeller is a must-try, dressed with creamed spinach, Pernod and parmesan. However, if oysters are your thing, you would be surprised at the variety of enticing dishes that chef Eric Houseknecht has designed for these shellfish. Or try the very generous portion of the New England lobster roll, the Block Island scallops or the Cape Cod fluke. Treat yourself to the Chesapeake Rockfish with house-made rigatoni pasta, summer vegetable ragout and fresh ricotta cheese. This quaint rowhouse dining establishment has an intimate downstairs bar and a romantic upstairs dining area with a window-side view of the bay. Oysters are not the sole seafood on this menu.
