The barmaid was about as nice as you can expect in a dive bar "what can I get you hon?" In a gravelly voice tinged with a hint of old bay. When in Rome...I requested an Ice Cold Natty Boh. "That's the only way they come hon" And so they do hon, so they do!!!

Any place willing to subject itself to so many jokes has my respect and my business any day of the week! The food and drinks are what you come to expect from a dive bar. Dick's has daily drink and food specials for Lunch and DInner and a great ladies night and live music on a regular basis. I used to live in White Marsh and this place was the perfect getaway from the typical Fridays, Della Roses on the Avenue, Red Brick Station crowd if you wanted someplace that was more fun then should be legal on a week night and made you feel like Norm when you sat down!

Let's have a real conversation (Carlos King- if you know, you know) I understand there is a stigma about black people and how they tip.

We ended up parking in the neighborhood across the street. There is a busy Happy Hour going on around 5:30 which is great. The Emerald Tavern has a bit of Irish-ness about it with a few Brit food options on the menu like fish and chips and shepherd's pie. We sat at the bar and were pleased to find a beer menu! The beer selection was varied and included some local options. They also have a wide selection of beer on tap and in bottles and cans. I was not expecting that. The food menu was also much larger than I would have expected. They have just about everything here. I had the chicken quesadilla (it came with salsa and sour cream) and my husband had the cheesesteak special which was only $6! All of the prices on the menu were very reasonable. We also had the pretzel bite which were good if not a little greasy. The quesadilla and cheesesteak were really good! Service at the bar was fast and friendly. They have live music here on the weekends but we left long before the band started setting up because we are old.

Big Bad Wolf has consistently had the best bbq ribs in the Baltimore-Washington area for years…read more This is primarily a take out place (though there are a few barstools and a single picnic table outside). We like to call in our order and then drive over to pick it up. The sides are single servings, but not tiny and could be shared in a pinch. And a pinch is what many of us are experiencing now. So think carefully when deciding how many and what size side to order. My one quibble is that, as costs are increasing for everyone, the quality has gone down a little. As in, the ribs were slightly more fatty than they used to be, and the meat portion a little smaller. But still, the flavor can't be beat, and if its ribs I'm wanting, this is where I will go time and again.

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.
