NOTES:
1 – a little strip mall feeling, but okay on the inside, could use a bigger bar area
2 – great burger selection w/ many add-ons available
3 – came on a plastic tray in a paper basket
4 – cooked perfectly as ordered (3 options available), well-seasoned & great flame char on the outside
5 – made fresh daily sesame seed bun that was toasted just right
6 – very spicy over all with lots of flavor
7 – great deal on the burgers ($5-7 + add-ons) & decent beer prices ($4.20 on micros)
8 – pretty large, especially w/ the onion rings, but easily devoured
9 – the burger was a little messy and you have to order at the counter and pick up your food when it’s ready
10 – beer only, 2 micro drafts and a pretty solid selection of micro bottles

NOTES:

Good burgers are hard to come by, but this place definitely delivered. I opted for the “cowboy style” burger, a 1/3 lb. prime meat covered in aged cheddar, thick cut bacon, sautéed mushrooms and grilled onions, each topping was included in every single bite! I decided to add a little flare with the truffle aioli… and that was a good decision. The bun was soft and slightly sweet, the meat was perfectly char grilled and the hand cut fries (which I doused in malt vinegar) were a perfect compliment. I gave this Charm City Burger Company an overall rating of 39. I’ll definitely be back!
