Knotty Pine

Knotty Pine in Brewers Hill leans into loaded, double-patty burgers. The namesake Knotty Pine Burger piles Gouda, avocado, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers and chipotle aioli onto two patties, while the Black, Blue and Bacon is the pick if you like a funkier, blue cheese burger.

Burgers come with Old Bay chips and a pickle, a small Baltimore touch that makes the plate feel local. It is a short drive or ride from Canton and Highlandtown, so it pairs well with a crawl through the east side's smash burger spots.
