As a transplanted Canadian, I have been looking for a place like this to remind me of home. I brought my wife and kids to celebrate Canada Day and we were not disappointed. read more

Clark Burger - Burgers Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

If you haven't eaten here...you don't know what you're missing! The burgers are beyond delicious! I have eaten burgers from all over and always ended up taking home a doggie bag. Not from Clark Burger, always finish my food and even go back for seconds! Their milkshakes are to die for! The atmosphere is warm, friendly and makes for a great first date (I know this from experience). read more

This place is amazing. Love at first bite. Seriously when you read this you need to trust me. Love at first bite. read more

Decided to check out this new burger place in my neighborhood. I ordered the "clark burger", as this is one of their signature items. I also ordered the poutine fries. First off, the burger was excellent!! It was juicy, flavorful and the bun held up until the last bite. Yay! The fries were good, but just not great. It was my first experience with poutine....so I don't have anything to compare it to. I think I like my fries plain. Overall, a super experience. The staff was friendly and wanted to make sure I enjoyed my meal. I will definitely be back!! read more

Great place to get a burger. Many options and different burgers to choose from. Veggie options as well as gluten free buns for $1 extra. Full bar with great beer selection and TV'S to catch some games on. Definitely a must if you're catching a movie next door at the Senator. Seating wasn't plenty full but wasn't horrible and the wait wasn't bad for as many people were there. Well done! read more

Atmosphere was nice and fun. The burger was very good (4-5 star!). The classic poutine, not so much (1-2 star). I spend lots of time in Quebec, and all I can say is it must be very difficult to find squeaky-fresh cheese curd down here. Gravy was lack-luster. Fries had a somewhat burnt taste and no crisp character. There was no salty goodness in that poutine, I'm sorry to say, because I REALLY wanted to love it. The burger was great though. Get a burger and beer and maybe try a 'poutine' loaded with all the other crazy stuff. read more

Clark Burger doesn't have a huge menu but everything I've tried has been far better than expected. The Clark Burger is tasty and juicy even though they only cook them to one doneness level. If you're going to the Senator next door you can take one out with a boozy shake. I go here often and you should definitely try the place. read more

Clark Burger is a wonderful little café of sorts that sits right in front of the Senator movie theater. Their menu consists almost entirely of burgers and poutine. A winning, if slightly odd, combination. There are several tables and seats inside as well as out on the sidewalk, making it a charming environment to enjoy a drink before or after a movie. They have several good beers available, as well as offering drink specials from their full bar. I will definitely check out their other locations whenever I happen to be near one. read more

I give them credit for getting my order correct. The burgers are awesome. I have eaten at the one in Fells Point and loved it. I tried this one because it's closer to my house and they gave me old fries. I can barely chew the fries. For $8.00 they should be great . I'm extremely disappointed. Maybe because it was 2pm and not happy hour *shrugs* read more

Came here with a friend and we each ordered the Clark Burger with a small side of fries. We were overall satisfied with the meal but I personally thought the meat was a bit overcooked. The fries were on point where you can toss some spice on it yourself. You order the food at the counter, pay and seat yourself. They will call for you to pick it up and after you are done, leave the tray on the table. The food came out in no time. I will probably come here again if I ever find myself in this part of town. read more

Amazing poutine, if you're getting a burger just get a side! The portions are awesome, the burgers are on point. I tried the Clark with jalapeños. The garlic fries a a bit much, a little overpowering. But I'm sure there's a market for that. What really impressed me was the craft beer selection. They show case as many local breweries as they can it seems. Right now they had plenty of Union in their cooler. 5 taps, all craft really dig this place. Will be back again. read more

Finally got around to checking this place out on a crappy weather kinda day when I was in the mood for something less than healthy. I like the focused menu-burgers and poutine, but with many topping options (and full bar with a serviceable craft beer selection). No temp options for the smallish burger (I prefer pink and juicy), but the toppings were fresh and a toasty brioche bun is always a great way to go. The small poutine was NOT small, which makes me wonder just how big the regular portion is. The fries held up well beneath the generous gravy, though eating fries with a fork is a little awkward. Service was aight, not enthusiastic at all and no drink refills. I do like that straws are only given when requested, and waste is minimal. Nice little place if you're in the area. Not necessarily worth a special trip. read more

Best Poutine ever !!! Service, location and cleanness of the restaurant was great!! It is definitely a place where you can go and enjoy great burger and poutine. read more

Ordered togo. Wrote down special instructions and they were followed perfectly. Me and my boyfriend got the Wake n Bacon burger and our eggs were cooked perfectly. Burgers were delicious. Tried Poutine fries for the first time from this spot and the gravy and cheese were soooo good. 10/10. Will be coming back read more

They should rename this place to Clark Poutine or something. The poutine is ridiculous. The portions are 2-3 people worth and it's delicious. There's a big variety of toppings, (and while I'm not big on the ISO standard brown gravy) even the gravy is good. The burgers...honestly...I would be embarrassed to serve someone those burgers for what they charge for them. There was clearly an attempt made at ingredient quality but it just came out as "hipster chef makes a Costco run". I'd have rather had a Whopper. read more

First fell in love with their Poutine at Bacon Jam, so I just had to stop by. The place is small and gets packed quick, so make sure to get their early or take your food to go. Also, it's street parking, so keep that in mind. There's a nice variety of burgers among the menu. It was star wars weekend when I went and they had an Empire Stikes Mac Burger. Very clever. I ordered the Clark Burger which was so simple, yet tasted amazing! The Clark Burger has white chedder, smoked bacon, red onions, lettuce, picked, and CB sauce. I was worried at first because all of their burgers are cooked well done, but this buger was so juicy and flavorful, you never would have thought it was a well done burger. Now of course I had to get some Poutine. I ordered the Classique which was fries, gravy, and cheese curds. With the Poutine, it would be best to eat them while their fresh and hot. We took our food home, so by the time we went to eat the Poutine, the cheese was already thick and clumping together. Also, I'm not sure if this is a standard, but the Fries were tough, as if they were in the fryer to long it someone redipped them last minute. read more

I don't know why this burger joint gets such high rating. Maybe if you like five guys burgers which I do not you will lile this place. It's a sloppy messy... too greasy and just not enough texture also for burgers it serves too slow tried it once when it first opened thought well maybe because they just opened service and burger wasn't right, tried it again same experience, so I've decided to never eat here again read more

Early for a show at the Senator on a recent Saturday, I stopped at Clarks for a burger and draught. It was packed at 3:30 PM, not exactly lunch, or dinner, time. Service was quick and courteous, quality high and value exceptional, especially by Baltimore standards. And the place is clean. Clarks seems to avoid the arrogance and disdain for their patron's intelligence afflicting so many, probably the majority, of Baltimore's restaurant owners. Steering clear of the "charge what you want, what do they know" mentality, Clarks operates a first rate store, charging $8.50 for a very good burger and about $6.00 for excellent drafts from an excellent list of choices. On a like menu in so many places, $12.50 seems to be the base. And people here simply pay. Why? Maybe its the ingrained Southern sense of simpatico that people would rather walk away than raise a stink, but they do themselves and the restaurants a disservice. Allowed to simply do what they want, how can they get better? They can't! Name six top notch restaurants in the city that can compare to other cities in quality and value. You can't. Yet, prices at some restaurants in the city are at New York levels while delivering, in many instances, about 50% of the value. Why do Baltimoreans continue to take such overbearing treatment? Good manners can take a leave when you are being taken for a fool. And the arrogance. I don't know where it comes from. Arriving 15 minutes early for dinner at a popular wine store/restaurant, we, a party of 5, were kept standing while the host, after noting that we were quite early?, fiddled with his pencil and walked around. The room had 16 table and 13 were set, vacant and ready to go When I asked why we were still standing, he said that he wanted to make certain that the tables were perfect. I'll take a chair over perfection any day. When I assured him the tables were fine, at least by our standards, he deigned to seat us. How does that behavior come about? The single time I ever saw arrogance that did not rankle me was with Muhammad Ali. That kind of greatness should be allowed some perks. So, until entrepreneurs in Baltimore achieve the greatness of Ali, let's hope they settle into the real world and stop thinking that everyone who comes to their place is a moron and be grateful for the patronage. Baltimoreans need to be less patient with restaurant owners with their hands on your wallet, that are legends in their own mind and root for those who actually have a grip, like Clarks. Advice to any would-be Baltimorean restaurateurs; spend a month in New York and visit at least twenty of their restaurants; dives, burger joints, lunch joints and a few Batali/Bastianich restaurants and learn. Taking special note of how much they value their customers. If you are serious about learning this business, it will be the best money that you will ever spend. And in not one of those places will the server approach you saying, "Hi guys, I'm Crystal or Brad or whatever, i'll be takin care of ya tonight", nor will they kneel at your table! read more

The gringo is one of the best burgers I've ever had, no exaggeration. The milkshakes and service are also really good. The fries are just okay but that is made up for with all the good things. read more

great poutine!!! Also extensive beer list. A good place to grab a quick eat.

Service was lackluster. Employees seem to have an attitude, especially when honoring manager complimentary meal cards provided to customers for previous service mishaps. I got the Barque burger with double meat - burger was dry, the smoked meat that goes on top of the burger was ok but lacking flavor, and it was served without the double meat which had to be rectified upon further request. The classique poutine wasn't anything special and doused in gravy. The cheese curds were ok. The vanilla shake was the best part. Overall, was giving this chain a second chance after they messed up my order at a previous visit and it continued to disappoint. Will not return. read more

Delicious food and awesome service. Ordered their Clark burger and their original burger with a large fry online with contactless payment and ate every single bite. They're using a walk up window to limit contact and their servers are masked. Food was substantial for the price, a small business version of a great burger joint. I loved everything about this place and will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for lunch. It was... okay. I got their "main" burger, which I think was called the Clark Burger, and an order of fries. It's a bacon cheeseburger with "CB Sauce." The burger was decent, grilled fresh, but pretty small. The CB sauce was edible but not great; I'd skip it next time. Fries looked good, I like mine crispy, but despite being cooked well done they were disappointingly soft. Service was good, it's counter service but friendly and prompt. It has a bar and that's where you order, but it's counter service; I wouldn't normally expect to tip like a table service place, but it's also a bar? I don't want to stiff anyone, but, like, it's basically a Five Guys setup so it's hard to know what's appropriate. They serve booze, if that's your thing, and they have some kind of arrangement with the Senator Theater next door where you can bring in your food and drinks (including alcohol) from this place only. Points for fresh food, friendly staff, and bringing food to the movies. But the food isn't as good as I'd like, and it's pretty expensive to leave still hungry. If you don't need booze and you don't care about the movie theater association, I would recommend Burger Bros. just a little bit north in central Towson instead. read more

Got the classic burger, added blue cheese mayo, and small fries with dill dip. Unfortunately found the burger to be very much on the dry side & couldn't taste the blue cheese at all. That being said the fries may just be the best I've ever had. (Dip could have been a bit more dilly, I adore dill.) I normally eat a whole burger & about half an order of fries. This time I ate half the burger & every single last bit of fries. Worth popping in here again for the fries alone. read more

Clark Burger - Classic burger and AMAZING fries - Burgers Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place is great. I had a clarkburger which was juicy and beefy and had a proper mix of toppings. I also enjoyed the classic poutine which had some great squeaky curds. This is a welcome addition to the York Road Corridor. The only issue is that this place is tiny so you might be pushed up close against your fellow diners. I went after the lunch rush on a Saturday and all tables were full. Despite this the staff was quick and courteous. I would definitely come back and look forward to trying more of their burgers and poutines. read more

Clark Burger - Aftermath of some excellent poutine with some squeaky curds! - Burgers Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place is within walking distance of home, and it's a nice walk. It was just after their lunch rush, so the tables could have been cleaner. I wiped down my table with napkins found at hand. Also, it seemed that every fly in Baltimore decided to be in the place. Not the fault of the restaurant as it was a beautiful day and their windows were open. The fresh air would have been lovely if there were not so many flies. This is a very small place. If busy, be prepared to stand. Also, there is no easy parking. It's perfect if you are going to or from the Senator. I got the Wake N Burger. The egg, bacon, cheese and caramelized onions worked well together, but I was not wild about the Sriracha sauce. The patty was pre-made using a burger press. It was very well done so there was very little juice left in it. I'm not sure whether I could have got the burger less well-done as it was not offered when I ordered. The bun was toasted with two silver-dollar sized burn marks on each bun. As I looked about, it seemed that everyone's bun was in the same condition. At a strong suggestion, I shared the poutine fries. The gravy and squeaky cheese were tasty, but the fries were very garlicky. (By "very garlicky", I mean "you will taste it all day and these will burn your lips" garlicky.) I told another friend how garlicky they were and my friend said, "Um...they should not be garlicky - did they use the wrong fries?" No idea. It was my first time there, but I will be sure to ask for regular fries if I am ever in a position to order it again. The staff were fast and efficient at getting the food out. Also, free refills on my diet coke were offered and was much appreciated. My burger was $7.90, the poutine fries to share was $6.20, and the soda was $1.99. For the Belvadere area, not a bad price. This is not a place I would sit at home and crave, but would not pitch a fit if I get drug there again by friends. There seems to be a nice beer selection, but I did not drink beer so cannot comment more on that. read more

Two people, two burgers, 3 beers and one small french fries, cost $40, and yet I felt like I was intruding on their day. Got one burger wrong and seemed to blame me even though I ordered in a clear, well-spoken voice. The guy who rang up my third (second purchase) beer purchase didn't talk to me, greet me or acknowledge me as a person, except to say $7.00, but he seemed real friendly with the next customer. Made me feel like I was a freak or something. Also, we were interrupted 3 times in 20 minutes because they care do much about our experience. If only the male cashier cared a fraction of that. Oh well too expensive for such uncaring service. Won't be back. read more

It's very rare if I have anything negative to say when I eat out. However, I wanted to try something different and was looking for a spot that offered a veggie burger option. I ordered the Veggie Burger, Expo Burger, and Large Hand Cut Fries. It was a pick up order and I don't know who cooked this but the fries were overcooked (with a mixture of soggy/burnt fries). The Expo burger's patty was overcooked & the brisket looked like a piece of burnt/hard bacon (black). As for the veggie burger it was overcooked/black in color; where I had to peel away the edges of the burger. I paid a total of around $35.00; which I will not be going back. However, whomever was on the grill today do not need to be. It may have been just a bad day for this location; but for me this will definitely be a one time try. read more

This is a awesome place to get a burger. They have a variety of burgers to fit everyone's desires. They have beef, veggies, and turkey burgers. The meals are filling or you can pay $2.50 for a additional patty. The price is reasonable. A must visit and also this place was rated best of Baltimore in 2015 read more

I tried to stop here a few weeks ago on a Friday night and it was PACKED so went somewhere else that night and then I went with some coworkers for lunch this week. Way less packed at lunch time, way less issue finding a parking spot, and our food was pretty quick. I got the Clark Burger and fries with a side of poutine. I'm not a poutine connoisseur, but this was pretty good (although not as good as the poutine at Victoria Gastropub). The burger was really good. Like Five Guys, Gino's, etc., the burgers aren't cooked to temperature but are still juicy flavorful (but a little thin). The prices aren't bad but I imagine if you start adding premium toppings it could get pricy pretty quickly. For the fries, there's a ton of different sauces you can get, and I think it'd be better to have them out for people to try as opposed to having to order them. Like Paul S. mentioned, drinks are from the bar so you do have to bother the employees to refill them, which could be kind of ridiculous when it's busier and probably pretty inconvenient for the staff. In addition to standard fountain drinks, they also have a full bar and milkshakes (and more importantly, boozy milkshakes). I'd definitely like to come back when I don't have to go back to work and consuming a boozy milkshake is appropriate. read more

My first thought upon entering Clark Burger was - hmm? Why is every employee wearing beanies? It's rather warm in here, a temperature that could only be exacerbated by being in the kitchen area or moving around. I soon found my answer - because Big Al is simply ICE COLD on that grill man. Mmm Mmm Good - word to Campbell Soup. This place is simply a treat. Let's start with the beer selection. There are so many brews here I could roll up to Hampden, grab the first four guys wearing cardigans and sun-dial watches I saw, and they would ALL find something they liked here. Union, Brewer's Art, New Belgium. You name it. Wine and Liquor also if that floats your ostentatiously sized boat named after your trophy wife. 50 Cent once wrote: "I've been patiently waiting for a track to explode on." Make "a track" a cardboard box filled with poutine and you have an acute sense of my sentiments about this dish. Frere Jacques was the bomb. If you don't like it all I have to say is dormez-vous? (Very clever comment by me if you understand the context). Poutine has finally arrived in Baltimore and it's come in riding a fire-maned Clydesdale by the name of James Clark. Now onto the burger. I happened to order a Turkey burger as a slightly healthier change of pace. Needless to say I gobbled it up (let's take another moment to pat the author of this piece on the back and thank him for his wit). The caramelized onions were perfectly cooked and complimented the Joppiesaus (a yellow-ish zesty concoction) akin to John Hall's complimenting of Daryl Oates. All in all my maiden voyage to Clark Burger was one that exceeded expectations. I will be returning to this establishment in the same manner as my ex-wife demands her Alimony payments - frequently and with great vigor and glee. Restaurants with an independent spirit and a staff committed to excellence are few and far between nowadays. Appreciate Clark Burger for what it is - a sincere attempted to provide delicious comfort food and an enjoyable customer experience. They certainly succeeded in my book. read more

Nice atmosphere. The place has a bar as well. I ordered the Frere Jacque poutine. It had bacon, cheese, egg and roasted garlic aioli. It was super good, filling, and tasty. Definitely an item to order after a good nite of drinking. The classique poutine was ok, the McCormick flavored gravy was over powering. I ordered the Wake N Bacon burger. After a couple of bites. I wasn't a fan of the sriracha aioli but my main issue was the burger meat itself. The meat was dense like meat loaf. So it ruined my overall expectation of the burger. However, the bun, the smoked thick cut bacon, and egg was on point. That being said, the rest of the meal and service was fine. I'm gonna try this place again later after I try a couple more burger joints. But if your not into burgers, I would definitely go out and get the poutine and drinks. read more

The burgers are amazing! Poutine is not my thing but was worth the try from an actual Canadian owned restaurant. I will definitely be returning. My only complaint is parking can be a tad tricky. This place is worth the effort though. read more

This is SO much better than the other crap along the interstate at rest stops! Roy Rogers, McD, Arby's, Burger King...They don't have anything on Clark. The problem is, they picked Baltimore's best single block of eating, Belvedere Square, to open a burger joint. Burger patties were burned and stiff, fries gummy, bun kinda dissolved. Interesting sauces and combos. With all the other options, I won't eat there if I want to eat in that really awesome area. Too bad they don't have a place on 95 on the way to Philly.... read more

This place never lets me down. Food is always fresh and always consistent. Very simple but it's perfect. Since they use OrderUp to deliver I am always ordering delivery from here. You will not go wrong here just be prepared to be addicted read more

Amazing Burgers & Poutine with even better Customer Service. Been coming to this burger joint since it opened and will continue to do so. My favorite place to grab a burger in the city, would recommend to everyone! read more

Overrated for sure. Burgers don't come close to Hamilton Tavern and poutine is just not the same here as it is up north. The location is great, interior is nice and the food isn't bad but it's not worth raving over by any means. read more

Everyone was raving about this place for months before I first went. My boyfriend came to visit me and work and for dinner I knew exactly the place for us to try, Clark Burger. Given I don't eat meat, I was hoping to find a veggie burger and I did. It was nothing special but exactly what I expected, they are difficult to make good and you don't go to a place serving meat and expect 5 star vegetarian. My boyfriend however had an overcooked burger with the ends of the tomato on his bun. I assume that someone has to eat it, but that's his pet peeve. But the 2 star review mostly has to do with their garlic parmesan fries. I love garlic and I love french fries and I was SO excited about this. When we picked them up from the counter they looked divine and loaded with garlic. However, when I started eating them, I realized it was raw garlic all over the fries. It wasn't cooked at all! I could not believe it and it was so strong that I couldn't continue eating them. I smelled like garlic for the next two days and couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. It was too much. We didn't have a good bite between any part of our meal so we will not be back. read more

So, my review is limited in the sense that I have only ever eaten their vegan burger. Every time has been a fantastic experience. They offer enough toppings that I can literally have a different burger each time even if the base remains the same. I enjoy the french fries overall, but they tend to be overcooked in my experience. They do have a good selection of beers including those from local breweries. Others that I have gone with have also raved about their other burger selections. Definitely worth a stop if you're a burger fanatic. read more

This was my second time at Clark Burger and it is definitely my go-to spot now when I'm craving a burger. I've had the Clark Burger and the Loaded Poutine. I have ZERO complaints. The poutine could be a meal by itself. The gravy is delicious and they're generous with the cheese curds. The burger was cooked medium, flavorful and juicy. I can't recommend this place enough! read more
