Clark Burger

I came here upon the recommendation of a friend. The atmosphere here is wonderful. The large windows can be opened on warm days creating an open-air atmosphere. The restaurant has a colorful interior with a thoughtful layout. The employees here are happy and friendly. The food came out quickly. The burgers are reasonably priced. I ordered the Charmer Burger. The burger and bun were both dry. The burger definitely needed more blue cheese and tiger sauce (and something else). I’m giving this place four stars because the burger was merely “okay.” I’d definitely try this establishment again. I’d also recommend it to anyone else.

Continuing my quest to find the best burger in Baltimore and this took my new number one spot! I went with the staff recommendation of a Clark burger with crispy onions instead of raw and then I got regular fries and a vanilla shake. It was a struggle not finish my shake while waiting for my food. Sweet and surprisingly light. When my order arrived, I first tried the fries. A good solid real potato fry with flecks of salt that was delicious dipped into my shake or paired with kethup. My friend had the garlic Parm fries which also did not disappoint. Onto the burger... the first bite was amazing. All the flavors and textures melded together perfectly in my mouth. I'm usually not crazy about bacon on burgers, the texture usually stands out too much or it's rubbery or the flavor overwhelms the rest of the burger but the bacon on the Clark burger fit in perfectly. The shredded lettuce was a crisp fresh addition, leaf lettuce makes a burger fall apart and slip and slide too much in my opinion. Then there was the pickles, crisp crunch, added tang, and stayed put when you bite into the sandwich. The Clark sauce? Amazing! Crispy onions? Always a fav. And those buns! Gosh a sturdy bun is so important to my enjoyment of a burger and these buns delivered! And the smash patty, the star that brought the whole thing together, perfectly cooked and seasoned. When I didn't think it could get any better, I mentioned how I love bbq sauce on a burger and the staff brought me some. Elevated the whole experience and brought the sweet to the savory which is my favorite flavor combo. I happily finished my burger and shake, and was definitely over ambitious with the large fry which I took most of home. I was full, but not bloated, sometimes a burger, shake, and fries leaves you feeling heavy but I felt good after this. And the staff was a delight. Friendly, talkative, and seemed to love working there. Sounded like the place treats them right which is always good to know. Clark burger is my new #1!

Hands down my favorite place. I try to stop in any chance I get. Love the poutine and food comes out fast with attentive staff. Good beer selection too.

As a connoisseur of poutine I was recommended this place and it did not disappoint. The only other contender for best poutine on the east coast is Buddy’s Famous in Montpelier, VT. I’ve traveled from Ottawa through Nova Scotia and ironically some of the best poutine is found here in the US. Clark’s has the advantage of being closer to me than Buddy’s. The atmosphere is chill and with quick service for a Saturday lunch. There’s a surprisingly large variety of adult beverages to choose here as well. The serving size of the poutine is deceptively small. I thought I would have room for dessert but instead I was fighting off a food coma for the following hour. Next time I will have to try the burgers here but so far I can say this is one of the 2 best places for poutine I’ve ever been.

Clark Burger is right next to the Senator Theater. Nuff said. Great for any occasion, especially movie premieres! If attending a movie, show up EARLY and park in the many areas to park AROUND the establishment. The are parking lots and street parking as well. The food is freaking amazeballs and they have their own bar and boozy shakes as well! 10 out of 10...highly recommend
