Kooper's Tavern

Kooper's Tavern first opened their Fells Point location in memory of their yellow lab, Kooper. Connected with Woody's Rum Bar and Sláinte (which the CCR has visited), Kooper's builds their reputation on great food, excellent service, and, of course, plentiful beverages. You may have also seen their Chowhound running around Baltimore. It's their food truck that allows them to bring their famous burgers to different locations around the city. Which, by the way, Kooper's burgers were voted Baltimore's Best Burger in 2011 by Baltimore Magazine, and are listed by Zagat 2014 as some of the "Must-try burgers across the country." So with all of this special attention to beef, we wonder if they can apply the same passion to our favorite crabby crustacean. Read on to see how everything went!

One-Eyed Mike's

Home of the world's first Grand Mariner Club! Located off of the beaten path in historic Fell's Point, One Eyed Mike's strives to be the friendliest bar you've ever walked into. Their motto is "you're only a stranger here but once" and they mean it. You'll always be greeted and asked your name, and we don't know how they do it, but they always seem to remember. You may never make it past the bar, with walls lined with bottles of GM. But if you do, you'll notice that this isn't just a bar, but a restaurant, too, with some pretty creative and upscale cuisine. Crab cakes are on their menu, so we set sail for OEM's. Read on to see if we found crabby treasure!

[Part 1 of 2]  Pierpoint Restaurant opened to rave reviews back in 1989, and continues to receive recognition from various publications.  Their concept is Modern Maryland cuisine with a more healthy approach.  Their signature dish is their smoked crab cake, although they also offer a regular one as well.  How do they fare in this town known for their crab cakes?  Let's find out!
