#2 - Mr. Bills + surprise #69





I can't believe that this is #2 - more like #1 place for crabs in Baltimore! So fun and a very different experience. Just down Eastern Avenue (ok - way down Eastern Avenue) but seemed to be a lifetime away. Julie's favorite crab place and she's been there often so thanks for organizing. Donya, Heather and Sara joined for a truly fun night on the town!

We needed to be there at 4 to put our name in (paid off when we were the third table seated!) and sat at the bar to take in the crowd. A couple of pitchers of beer later we sat down at a table in the restaurant and opened the menu to decide on our food for the night. Cheese balls sounded far too good, so we ordered them (don't think our waitress was too happy when we were brought cheese sticks and asked for the balls instead. Kate wasn't around for her signature mozzarella sticks and we really did want to try something new - and they did not disappoint!) With an odd mustard sauce, they were delicious and well worth going off the foodie list for! We also noticed gravy fries on the menu and had to order them! It really is amazing how difficult they are to find - and we had to be able to tackle #69 on the list at some point. Great surprise to be able to have them here! Gravy on the side (of course) so we all dipped once and gave Donya the rest of the gravy! Sara also happily had her favorite onion rings - too good. If the appetizers were any indication, this was going to be an incredible meal!

And, yes, the crabs were amazing as well. Just enough old bay. Nice size crabs. Donya was so meticulous in her dismantling of them that we thought Tim was there. The rest of us made such a mess - but absolutely worth it!

Our waitress was very funny so we had to get a picture with her. To be posted soon...

Definitely one to go back to (and soon I hope!)
