    Lump crab cake -- good but not great
    Patrick ..

    The Context: As a visitor from Southern California, I was told that Mo's was THE place to get crab cakes in the greater Baltimore area, so naturally I had to listen to the locals' advice. Maybe due to the hype, I was a little underwhelmed. The Food: As a West Coaster, I have to say that the seafood on the East Coast is much better, whether it's New Hampshire or Georgia (or parts in between). Naturally, I had to have Mo's Lump Crab Cake with seafood macaroni salad as my chosen side. I added French fries as an extra side. The Good: The crab cake was indeed a big lump, about the size of a large saucer or small dessert plate and it was good ... but not amazing. The crab itself was moist and plump. But the seasoning and "cake" portions were just OK. When I added the house tartar sauce, the overall taste jumped to good, but still not amazing. The fries were solid and well seasoned, but again nothing that will blow you away. The restaurant itself was surprisingly spacious inside despite seeming smaller and crowded when looking from the outside. It's clean and appropriately decorated. Also our server was great. Polite, friendly, and efficient. He checked in on us at the right frequency -- not too often that it was annoying and not too little that we felt neglected; it was just right The Bad: The seafood macaroni salad was underwhelming. I didn't taste any seafood in it while the creaminess lacked any richness to it. The bathroom, while clean, seemed a little rundown. Plus the sink counter was unusually high -- not sure how kids and wheelchair-bound men would reach the faucet. The Ugly: Hmm, nothing crazy ugly here. I did enjoy the experience, though the price of $33 for one portion of crab cake (or $55 for two) did make me cringe a little, especially when considering that the taste didn't knock me out. The Conclusion: Even though the prices gave me pause, I do recognize that it is a seafood place, and seafood ain't cheap. And while the lump crab cake didn't totally wow me, I liked Mo's enough that I look forward to eating there again to try the other dishes. My true rating is 3.5 out of 5, but since I can't give half stars, I'll round up because the folks there were so nice.

    Crab Cake & 4 Fried Shrimp

    Mo's will always hit the spot for me! I especially enjoy sitting at the bar where the staff is friendly and attentive. The food is always good and fresh and it's usually a nice vibe!

    My first time in Baltimore visiting my God daughter who attends Morgan State. I was told the food was really good so I decided to try them out. I am a big seafood person so I was eager to have some crab cakes from Maryland. The ambiance was like a dive bar, I wouldn't come here dressed up. So basically dress causal. The service was okay (nothing to scream about) the staff was lingering around eating and drinking which I thought was a bit unprofessional. My waitress was a bit aggressive when it came to picking drinks and our food. My friend and I asked her what she would recommend and she was a little rude when we were indecisive and same with the drinks. I didn't like that the gratuity is added especially because it was only 2 of us eating at 3pm. I expect gratuity to be added for a bigger party at a later time, not during lunch/ happy hour. I liked the garlic mash potatoes, scallops and fried fish so that would be the only thing I would get if I ever go back.

    The service is good. I sit at the bar and the restaurant side. The wait is never too long when I go (5 mins max). You are presented with bread and butter while you wait to order. My go to meal is the Cajun salmon imperial with a Caesar salad as an appetizer (it's large enough to share). I also enjoy the buffalo combination which consists of buffalo wings, tenders and shrimp. My go to drinks are either a MO's relaxer or an Obama.

    Overall I enjoyed the seafood. The sides(not listed) weren't really good. The garlic mash and asparagus was really bland and lacked flavor. The oyster Rockefeller wasn't the best I've had but It wasn't bad. The crab cakes, shrimp and scallop and lobster were all good. I'm not a tartar sauce person they had some really good tartar sauce. The portions are extremely generous so you're bound to take food home. There were so many options on the menu so I'll be back to try more. This isn't a fancy place so you can come dressed relaxed. The bar was packed. I'm sure they have a great happy hour. The service was good but slightly slow that night. Overall I'll give this a 3.5. If they improve the flavor with their side dishes I could easily give them 4 stars.

    Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo
    Aaron B.

    Only came here because this is the place chosen for a family member birthday. This place never seems to not disappoint me. I avoided ordering anything with crab in it because I always seem to get shells in my dish. So I ordered something different. Ordered the seafood fettuccine Alfredo. Comes with shrimp, scallops and muscles. I ate 3 muscles and all of them had grit and crunch in them. Immediately turned off and had to be very cautious with the rest of the dish. Had good flavor but there should be no crunch in this dish.

    Delicious!! That's all I can say very little filler in these crabcakes. . Oh ask for Lemon butter goes good with this. Waiter wish I had remembered her name was very helpful with the menu she brought my drink and rolls out fast. Just very attentive young lady.

    Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Dominique D.

    Upon entry we were the three out of our party on time for our 530p reservation(seems like it's been a running theme with the folks I dine with...lol). We were greeted by the host and informed them of our reservation time. Fun fact: you cannot be seated unless your entire party is present, so be on time for your reservation! Sometimes it seems staff can struggle managing a large table size and we give them grace as multiple personalities and tastes combined can be a lot to handle. Separate checks are a no no with large parties so bring cash or cash app one individual to cover your portion of your bill. Garlic mashed potatoes were recommended by the server and they were bomb!!! I also had the crab cake and 4 fried shrimp. The food was on point!! Drinks on point!!! Mo's will continue to be our family favorite.

    Monday 1 1/4 lb Whole Maine LobsterMonday
    Jeneen M.

    I've had the pleasure of dining at MO's several times throughout the year but this was the first time I took advantage of one of their weekly specials. Mondays are lobster night and I opted to add on the imperial stuffing and shrimp. The entree in true Mo's fashion was huge in its own right and came with a side of choice (baked potato not pictured) making it a great value in my opinion. I got a fantastic meal with leftovers to spare! Even if lobster isn't your thing they have a huge menu with a little something for everyone as well as other daily "specials" so check them out.

    Crab Alfredo
    MiMi K.

    I like Moe's seafood options and frequently go for lunch because it's near my job. The crab dishes and the Oysters Christopher are my favs. I got the crab Alfredo recently and it was full of lump meat. It could have used more sauce and flavor though. I did add my own old bay to my liking and it was great!

    Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo and Broccoli
    Madeline T.

    Genuinely some of the worst food I've ever had. The shrimp fettuccine tasted like milk and the shrimp was rubbery and unseasoned. I had to ask for old bay to try to save it but it was just nasty. The service was slow but that could've been because we had a big party. I did see them sitting another large party at fold up card tables also...wouldn't come back. Another persons fish came out bland and mushy as well.

    Tiffany D.

    Horrible reviews overall for this place, but I had a pretty decent experience overall. Nothing extra special, but it was a solid lunch outing. GLOWS: -The service at lunch was impeccable. Very friendly waitress that went above and beyond to get things right. -Complimentary bread is always a win -The menu is expansive and they have some pretty good light options for those wanting to watch what they eat.

    Crab dip
    Heather H.

    Not even sure why I'm giving this a 2 star So we were a group of 14 so I understand large parties can sometimes be overwhelming We had one server who was the worse Took forever to come back with things we requested her attitude was nasty and her service was POOR The food nothing I'd go back again for Even my salad was bland the dressing was like water We had a variety of options the menu is really great with options The crab dip was good lots and lots of LUMP crab meat Cheese bread good When we got our entrees most of our party complained of cold food Steaks were over cooked We asked for condiments which took forever to get Refills took forever Our waitress was the worse I'm sorry When the bill came we asked could it be split she said no I can accept multiple cards however and she walked away I feel like now days since waitress waiters servers etc know the tip is already included they can just give piss poor service and don't care because they know there going to be given a great tip anyways It took an hour to get to this restaurant it wasn't worth my time or my gas

I have to say I preferred it over the crab cakes 1) price point 2) quantity of lump crab meat 3) enjoyable throughout as it was not dry so it paired nicely with the sides.

We ordered two pounds of king crab leg and three pounds of crawfish, and it was not good. The quality of the seafood was not consistent. 1/8 pieces of crayfish we're excellent, but the rest were either freezer burned or super overcooked and mushy. We asked for the crafty cajun spice with the spice level at the hottest, which is fire and it was nowhere near spicy at all. It was $110 for 2 lbs of king crab legs which is a deal but the quality was just okay. Not amazing or packed with meat and a bit flimsy. Tips: 1. They do not have a liquor license at the location so I recommend BYOB! Pick up whatever you want to drink for your meal at the total wine, which is right around the corner and bring it with you! 2. Order your fried sides at the end e.g french fries. The service here is really great, and they'll bring out the fries really quickly once they're ready

There wasn't a lot of staff to handle the heavy workload of customers. When I walked in I was told 30 mins wait time in which I was seated right around that time frame. However there were a lot of angry customers because of the disorganization of the establishment. My waiter "Princess" was amazing! She was over worked but maintained her composure and attentiveness. The atmosphere was starting to read a little ghetto and very disorganized. There was only 2-3 waiters on such a busy day and the management was the host as he greeted customers , answered a busy phone line , took care of pick up orders and seat patrons. Where he messed up, was tryint to be several people at one time. He needed help badly, as other people were being seated before others that were waiting longer, ect. My food did not have a long wait time after i placed my order and the flavors and quality of the food was sooooo good !! Another tip, they are BYOB(bring your own bottle) so if you want a drink you can bring it in with you. I thought that was cool, but me personally when I go to restaurants and eat inside, I like ordering drinks at the bar. They have a bar area but no alcohol there. Maybe the goal is to open a bar but they need a liquor store license? (Idk). All in all, I would not probably eat in again, but I will come back and get a to go order because as I said the food itself was amazing!
