One of the best meals we had in Baltimore…read more We ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, the Maryland Crab Soup, and the Seafood Hot Combo. The crab cake absolutely lived up to its reputation--packed with large, sweet pieces of crab meat and very little filler. It was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light. I finally understood why Maryland is so proud of its crab cakes. The Maryland Crab Soup was hearty and comforting, with plenty of vegetables and crab flavor. The Seafood Combo was generous and perfect for sharing after a long day of exploring the city. The restaurant was busy but well organized, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere felt lively without being overwhelming. After lunch, we took a short walk to Fells Point and spent the afternoon exploring the neighborhood, which made it a perfect Baltimore experience. If you're visiting Baltimore for the first time and want to try an authentic Maryland crab cake, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

We visited on Saturday evening to celebrate our anniversary, but I have to admit, I left feeling a…read morebit disappointed. This was my second time at the restaurant; the first experience was fantastic with top-notch service. I later discovered that our previous server was the owner's son, which explains why the service was top-tier. This time, we were greeted warmly by the host, which was a nice touch. However, after being seated, I waited 15-20 minutes while tables that arrived after us were served. When I finally got the attention of our server, Pedro, he took our order promptly, and I enjoyed my meal, especially the cream of crab soup, even if it was a bit on the warm side. My only issue was feeling rushed, as it seemed like Pedro focused more on his other tables. I had really bragged about this place to my partner, so I was hoping for a similar experience to my first visit.

Let's dive right in -- this trip was all about the crab cakes…read more I consider myself a connoisseur of delicious crab cakes. I've had them everywhere there is to have them, and somehow I'm just now discovering Koco's. Well, let me tell you -- this is the winning spot. There are a lot of good, even great, crab cakes around town, but Koco's is 100% in a league of its own. I usually enjoy my crab cake with crackers, maybe a little bread on the side. Not here. Skip the bread. Skip the filler. This crab cake stands all by itself. Outrageously delicious. Off the scale. The kind of crab cake that makes you stop talking for a minute because you're too busy appreciating what just happened. And it's not just the food. From the second you walk in, you're treated kindly -- not only by the staff, but even by the folks sitting down enjoying their meals. The whole place just has that great local, welcoming feel. I also can't leave out the French fries. They are off the charts too. A true 3/8 straight-cut fry -- not those crispy coated carnival/stadium fries that seem to be taking over everywhere these days. Real fries. Done right. There is no better crab cake to be had. If you're going to go big, go hungry. You will leave HAPPY!!!!!!!

On the hunt to try some of Baltimore's best crab cakes, I'm late to the party for Kocos. However,…read morebetter late than never. Given Koco's crab cake platter during their dinner service will set you back about $50, I've been hesitant to spend that amount of money for just one 8oz. crab cake. So I decided to give them a try during their lunch hours where you can get a 6oz. crab cake platter for about $30. I ordered in advance and popped into the brightly colored, tropical themed restaurant which was bustling on a Friday afternoon. My pickup was quick and the service was nice. I of course had to sneak a few fries while on my ride home, and they were perfectly crisp and well seasoned. Once I made it home I dived into the beautifully broiled crab cake and I immediately understood why Koco's is know as one of best crab cakes in the area. Full of lump crab meat, seasoned to perfection, and not wet in the center. All things I consider in a good crab cake. Now that I've had a taste of Koco's I'll definitely be saving a few coins to splurge a little for a crab cake.

The other issue is the customer service . The front cashier very nice and professional. Mackey the owner terrible. He wanted to over charge me for crabs that weren't the size I was paying for. Attitude was horrible and instead of give me xl and jumbo ! He have me xl and a small medium mix ! But called them jumbo. Still charged me for a large ... I guess anything for a dollar . I'm upset because this was a holiday I waited almost two hours for a total waste. I watched others come in after me and leave before me .... Mind you I ordered a dozen and a half crabs. Shame save yourself and never go here! Cashier should get a new job . 0/0

We went on Juneteenth in the afternoon. Half the seating area was closed and there was not a lot of…read morepeople there. The host was on his A game with seating, phone calls, and pick-up orders while joking with guests waiting for a table. The cream of crab is unlike any I have had. It was very zesty without having too much bite. I had to stir the caesar salad to equalize the flavors and it was very slightly underwhelming. But I would prefer underwhelming to overwhelming and it worked well with the cajun flavorings of the grilled shrimp entree I ordered. The shrimp came with cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. All together it was nice. The collard greens consisted of full leaves and was good but not the best I have had. However I cannot figure out what it was missing because I'm bad at cooking collards myself. My wife ordered a Colins burger with bacon and fries. They gave her a generous amount of bacon but it was just like a burger at any other restaurant. The fries are the kind that pair well with condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. I would recommend this place, especially the cream of crab. I plan to go back and taste more of their menu.

There is a table outside that you could sit at. With my double broiled crab platter, I also had potato salad. It could have used a hit of old bay or paprika to set it off. The crab cakes were ok. No filler, but not enough seasonings. You really do get a nice lump of a crab cake, but I would have preferred it to be more moist. I did get a side of tarter and cocktail sauce. The tartar sauce is homemade I think. I would have enjoyed it with more pickle juice and pickle and again a hit of paprika or old bay would really set it off. I recommend if you're not craving highly seasoned food, but tasty and well prepared.

The Rockefeller oysters were the best I have had yet... the spinach and cheese stuffing was absolutely delicious. The gorgeous weather played a major role in how electric the atmosphere was, and the outside patio was jubilant and filled with patrons. Now for me the raw oyster tower selection pushed my experience over the top. The oysters were fresh and chilled to perfection. And for the record, the menu is filled with a lot more tasty dishes than just oysters... so I encourage you on the next nice day ( over the spring & summer ) to stop by Mama's on the Half Shell for an experience that won't disappoint.
