3.0 of 5 stars. I like Mama's for happy hour and Sunday brunch. The raw bar and steamed shrimp are reasonably priced and the beer specials aren't half bad either. I'm not a huge fan of the dinner menu, mostly because...

4.0 of 5 stars. The more upscale cousin of Nacho Mama's, this place is solid in its own respect. As mentioned, great Bloody Mary's and excellent seafood pub grub.

3.0 of 5 stars. Good MD Seafood. Oysters are awesome but of the other dishes are lack luster. Always crowded Thursday - Sunday so maybe try going on a week night. Decent selection of beer on tap as well.

Great Bartenders

Great food (love the mussels), mixed crowd, and you've got to try an Orange Crush! The stairs are a bit tricky and steep but you can always sit at the bar or request a table on the first level.
