ABOUT MAMA'S ON THE HALF SHELL

In 2003, our opening day was the realization of five years of dreaming, discussing, and collecting. It is our hope that when our customers are with us, they feel welcomed into our home with open arms. There really is no average age at Mama's on the Half Shell, making our restaurant a true destination for great food and celebration. As native "Baltimoreans," we felt Baltimore needed a thoughtful, classic seafood restaurant. Our menu is important, but we also want our guests to come in and feel comfortable for any occasion, be it a business meeting, Sunday football, a birthday, an anniversary, or just some time out. Our restaurant is a place where you could "bring it or bring it down." We're the neighborhood bar that everyone wants to go to!

It's our family-friendly environment that makes our guests feel at home, and we credit our staff for helping us create such a fun, low-key atmosphere. To thank them for helping us succeed, we do our best to support our staff by providing them with great benefits and other nice perks. We also cultivate a close-knit community of employees who know they can lean on each other and have each other's backs. Our team is the Mama's Family, and there's always room for more!
