anything with a bacon garnish!

Anything new in the 'hood is welcome!

I am giving up on the food there and just considering it a place to have a couple of drinks. The food wasn't good before the fire, really hoped the reopening would have helped that but alas, no.

The food still needs help. Went the other night, an off the menu special of steamed shrimp were so overcooked you could hardly get the shells off of them. Fried oysters were soggy. Apparently steamed shrimp will be on the new menu debuting in the next couple of weeks, I'd steer clear. The only thing I have had that was decent is the burger.

Yes, it was where the Kitty Kat Bar used to be.
I have had perfectly good cocktails at The Food Market and Birroteca, guess it's just a matter of taste.

The Giant in Hampden had shad roe sets the other day, I would call them.

I would much prefer a Graul's to a MOM's!

The Towson Tavern, decent beer selection

I would say Mamas, hands down!

Pioneer is very good, I have heard Beefalo Bob's is great but haven't tried it yet. Also, Jake's on Falls Road is supposed to be great.
For seafood I go to Mamas on the Half Shell in Canton

I do like Thames Street Oyster House but find it pricey.

I actually drove past the space the other day and the door was open so hoping something is going on there.

I 2nd Szechuan House.
Wonder if Hunan Taste is ever going to open.

Duda's, The Admiral's Cup and Shuckers all serve oysters. If you want to venture next door to Canton, Mamas on the Half Shell has 4 varieties all at $9.99 a 1/2 dozen, had some great Duxbury Salts there yesterday. For HH, Chincoteagues are 6 for $6.

Sunset Cove is decent and the water views great, especially in the summer!

you are most welcome, best seafood in Baltimore IMHO!

Mamas is my fav seafood restaurant, the food is great!

Mamas on the Half Shell in Canton is open, from their FB page

They do say that oysters are an aphrodisiac.... We will be open normal hours on Christmas Eve and opening at 12 noon on Christmas Day (kitchen open till 8P)

Sichuan Fish Filets and Sichuan Triple Treasures are a must!

I have been wondering about Pho Towson, think I'll skip it!

Went the other night, the new space is amazing, the food needs help.
The mussels which themselves were good had a limp, undercooked handful of fries thrown on top, the caesar salad was drowning in dressing to the point where I tasted garlic for 2 days. "Whole Belly Fried Clams" could have been anything, they were flattened ovals that were overfried to the point of being dark brown, if there was clam inside I couldn't tell. I will give it time before going back or maybe just go back for a drink, decent beer and wine selection.

their website says the end of November

Birroteca in Hamdpen would be perfect!

not according to this

not a calamari person at all but love the fried calamari at Mamas on the Half Shell.

Cinco De Mayo market in Highlandtown has meats and produce and lots of hispanic staples.

4th for Sophias! Good Stuff!

I do like Thames Street Oyster House as well but I agree, the oysters are pricey, the Wellfleets (my fav) when they have them are more there then at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station.

None are near Little Italy:

Danielas
Toscanas
