Charm City Burgers Company

Charm City's motto is, "Five star chefs, five dollar burgers." And you'll get just that: gourmet-style burgers topped with so many quality ingredients that they're literally bursting open. The messy sandwiches do pose some serious questions, such as, how do you get your mouth around a six-inch-tall burger and keep dry? But finding the answer is part of the fun. A cowboy burger pairs sautéed onions and mushrooms with thick-cut bacon. The sides rock too: Hand-cut fries are seasoned perfectly, onion rings look as plump as fat donuts, and marinated grilled wings act like Texas barbecue in that the meat falls right off the bone. Wash it all down with a cold microbrew or a Blue Bell milkshake, and you'll forget about the messiness fast.
