Bertha's Mussels - Baltimore

The first time here and a big fan! Great service and amazing seafood. I have to try some items on the menu and it was all really delicious. Definitely on the place and filled my seafood desire!

The day we arrived in Baltimore we were walking around Fell 's Point trying to decide where to go for lunch, when we spotted on the side of a building the words, Eat Bertha 's Mussels and thought that was an excellent suggestion. My husband had the mussels and fries, and I ordered the baked potato with shrimp and crab. It was absolutely delicious, and extremely filling. We happened to drop in for lunch at the right time, as it started POURING rain, and there was even a tornado warning. We were sitting near the entrance, and it was pretty cool watching the rain. The next day we want back to Bertha 's for lunch and we ordered the crab cakes and crab dip. I recommend Bertha 's as long as you 're not concerned about calories, however I didn 't care for any of the drinks I ordered, as they were far too sweet.[Yelp collections: East Coast 2022; Baltimore, MD 2022]

We are so sad that Bertha’s is closing. We have been coming here for 40 years. Our visits have ranged from a quick beer to full meals. Their mussels are the best.

I am newish to Baltimore and have been wanting to explore this restaurant. I decided to check it out during Fells Point Fun Festival (so they were pretty busy). Service was a bit slow, but I understand it was full of customers. However, there were a few disappointing things. The mussels were pretty dry with a very small amount of buttery sauce on the bottom of the bowl. It was also on the colder side by the time we were served. The crab bruschetta was soggy and had very minimal pieces of crab (2 tiny pieces per toast). The crab and chicken quesadilla was very good. I 'm disappointed that the other meals were not, especially given the prices. The Irish coffee and hot toddy were also disappointing. I 'm not sure if it 's because of the volume of customers that day.

Other than coming for the mussels and beer, the rest of the food wasn't that great, its a small spot that gets crowed fast the bar hits as soon as you walk in, our waitress was extremely on point and manged the entire floor alone with one runner!Food: 3/5
