Miss Shirley's has three locations: the Inner Harbor, Annapolis, and Alonzoville – a neighborhood of Baltimore. Though fans have been begging them to serve dinner for years, perhaps they excel at brunch because they concentrate on daytime offerings.
Start out with one of their fun brunch cocktails, like their take on the Bloody Mary: "Spicy Shirley". It's garnished with practically a salad bar of Southern delicacies and you can get a crab claw in there, too.
Portions here are huge and the recipes are rich, though they do have specially marked items that are more figure-friendly.
Food Network's "50 States, 50 Breakfasts" picked Shirley's Affair with Oscar: 5 oz. beef tenderloin center cut filet, topped with asparagus, jumbo lump crab meat and Hollandaise on fried green tomatoes and stone ground grits with diced bacon, dusted with Old Bay seasoning as best in the land here.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Baltimore Local Expert
- Brunch, Best Restaurants: "If you come early (before the bohemian late-risers and the after church crowd), you shouldn't have to wait in line. They don't take reservations, but they do have a food truck that can be spotted at various downtown locales."
- Best for Brunch Because: The quality, imaginative and fresh take on Southern/Low Country cuisine and over the top presentation makes this one of the best brunches in the USA.
- Recommended as Best Restaurants Because: Everything is fun, flavorful and decadent. The setting is casual, so don't be embarrassed to dig in. The menu changes seasonally.
