"Eat, eat, you're so thin." (Credit: AP)

Your mom pushed you out of a very small place that you can only hope you'll never have to see again. You thanked her by freeloading and leaving your socks on the floor (jerk!). We've rounded up a few places to take your mom to remind her why she loves you.

Mother's Federal Hill Grille

1113 S. Charles St., Baltimore

410-244-8686

Party mom: Between working and cleaning up after you, your mother probably really wants a chance to unwind. When is the last time you think mom let loose and partied? Take her to Mother's for shots and foosball, then be the darling she knows you are and help her nurse off that hangover the next day.

Nacho Mama's

2907 ODonnell St., Baltimore

410-675-0898

Hubcap margaritas with your mother!?! Your mom will thank us. Give her something she actually wants this Mother's Day: Greasy food and booze--on your tab, of course.

Mama Leah's

1852 Reisterstown Road, Baltimore

410-653-7600

Maybe your mom doesn't want to party. We'll buy that, but we know she won't pass up yummy pizza from Mama Leah's. The two of you will have plenty of time to bond between cheesy (kosher) mouthfuls.

Mama's on the Half Shell

2901 ODonnell St., Baltimore

410-276-3160

Treating mom: If you don't think mom will go for cheap snacks or beer, Mama's on the Half Shell is a little more formal. Get a table upstairs, and show mom you're responsible enough to save money for a high quality meal.

Bahama Mama's Crab Shack

7801 Coastal Hwy., Ocean City

410-524-8585

So you've decided to treat your mom to a weekend at the ocean? How sweet! Bahama Mama's might look like a box of crayons (charming, right?), but nothing says "I love you" like a bushel of crabs and a trip to the beach.

Mother's Cantina

2810 Philadelphia Ave., Ocean City

410-289-1330

Even if the food at this Ocean City restaurant isn't enough to spark your interests, we're sure your mom will have plenty to say about all of those pin-up girls on the walls (something to the tune of "no self respecting mother..."). After dinner, take mom on a walk along the beach.
