1. Bertha's

The mussels are great with the sauces. Try the spinach with olive oil sauce, and the mustard sauce - they go so well with the mussels. Crab cakes taste good, a little bit salty for me but just fine for my friend, and the price is good. Two crab cakes with potato side dish for only $19 (price of Jan 05). You'll love it.

You gotta Love the mussels... Bertha's is one of our most favor places to eat when we're in Fells Point.

Bertha's, famous for the bumper stickers hailing their mussels, has a great, grungy atmosphere. The food is okay, but avoid the mussels at all cost. I've eaten there a half dozen times and the mussels have always been gritty. Actually, "gritty" is putting it mildly. Stick to the entrees and you can have a pleasant dining experience.
