- SShakiraBaltimore / Maryland •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI’ve been to this establishment two times before but, this was the first time I’ve tried their famous crabs! I ordered a dozen medium crabs with some of their sweet white corn on the cob and it did not disappoint! I was in love with the seasoning because it did not come off as being too salty or too spicy. The crabs were cooked to perfection, heavy and so meaty! I got the pleasure of being serviced by Tina who was very pleasant and attentive. I will be making a trip back to Mr. Bills soon especially with it being football season! The atmosphere in this place on football Sunday was so exhilarating and I can’t wait to experience it again!More infoMr. Bill's Terrace InnPrice: Very Expensive• American• Essex•4.6
- CCynthiavipBaltimore / Maryland •9 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoServer was great, friendly and efficient. Food came quickly. Overall the food is good but overpriced. The crab dip is good but small, and when asked if we would like extra bread with it we were not informed it was an additional charge. It’s not a big charge but you should tell customers that when offered. The stuffed shrimp was a little salty. Brisket sandwich was very good. Waitress did not know the exact prices of the specials? That should be a given. When asked about the Sea Bass special she said maybe $65/70? Again, expensive. We have eaten there twice in last 4 months and while it’s nice and food is good, there are better places with better food for significantly less. Probably won’t return.More infoMichael's Cafe White Marsh/ Middle RiverPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• White Marsh•4.7
