Bo Z's Burgers Bistro

A+ on the cheeseburgerand the quality and taste of the beef.. D- on the onion ringswhich very unfortunately tasted like they had sat under a heat lamp on a Tuesday evening for entirely too long to the point of being so tough and dried out that I could barely eat them. Made me extra disappointed in them that I had ordered the (rather small) large size.Overall I'd order their again and the service at pickup was very pleasant and the ambience was nice and clean.

The food here is ok, nothing special! The veggie burger itself is ok, but the Burger gets really greasy, they have good fries though! The falafel sandwich which I have tried is very dry!

I just had dinner with a dear friend and we had spent the afternoon partying and talking, and we started talking food. I was feeling a burger and he was easy and he suggested a chain place near Belvedere Square.I said, "Nah; we're going to Bo Z's" and off we went. My love affair with this place began during the pandemic it became a delivery favorite, and it's never disappointed. Tonight was somehow better than ever before. Maybe it was the company, maybe it was because we literally got our food immediately after it was cooked, but I honestly just think the people working here take pride in what they do and like to see people enjoying it, and enjoy it we did.The onion rings are always extra crispy and crunchy and the perfect accompaniment to my burger which was beef perfection! I did the Build-A-Burger approach per usual and it rocked. My friend just kept hmming and he couldn't believe he hadn't been there before. I said "I told you so" and couldn't stop complimenting his burger.Bo Z's is a treasure that's underappreciated, and that needs to change. Amazing food, an incredible and friendly staff and there's no reason we should have been the only people there.Now, a few things that bear attention: You offer the dine-in option and consequently you should have condiments and salt and pepper readily available. Small thing, but still impactful. Also, be mindful of customers drinking ice water provided by you because they might need more.I've cited these minor, minor issues because they kept my experience from being perfect, but you still get props for knocking the food game out of the park. As we left the three staff members present were all interested in the caliber of our experience and I told them it was amazing because it was. They were sweet and kind and grateful and have made me determined to spread the word about Bo Z's.

So I have passed this place on numerous occasions when I am in Charles Village, but never stopped in until today. Decided to grab some quick take out for lunch. Kept it simple, grabbed one of their specialty burgers, the Saint Paul Burger( applewood smoked bacon, swiss, caramelized onions, Chipotle Mayo and old bay fries in the burger). The burger was decent, I just wish the patty itself had more flavor, but overall, the burger served its purpose for my quick burger fix. Service was friendly and efficient. I do recommend calling ahead to order your food, they do take their time making the food. I would definitely return when I'm craving a burger in my neighborhood.

Maybe 4 stars based on the fact that i was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the burger and the price. Show me a place in Baltimore or the DMV for that matter that sells a double patty for under $10, not a lot i can guarantee that. I ordered the spicy burger i believe, you can also make your own. The meat was good and not your run of the mill frozen patty to be honest. Solid burger IMO, and i am embarrassed to say i have passed by this spot fro years since it replaced i believe Nonna's but never bothered. The fries were meh, the wings i ordered were solid enough.

I dined here on a weekday afternoon with a group of friends and they had plenty of seating for the whole group. The staff were all very friendly. I ordered the onion rings as a snack, along with chipotle aioli and BBQ sauce on the side. Note: if you're a student they offer a discount if you show your student ID! Everything arrived in a timely manner, but the onion rings were ok, nothing special. I expected them to be a bit larger than they were, since I'm more used to the restaurant style onion rings.

Far out of my local (food) comfort zone: On the far corner of various eateries, Eddie's Market and other stores on St. Paul Street neat Hopkins Homewood campus, Bo Z's occupies what once was one of several local Donna's rustic chains that once dotted the city and Baltimore County. However, whereas Donna's (whose eponymous owner now has a fine restaurant, Cosima, In Hampden's Mill No. 2) was known for bread, soup and cold rustic potatoes--Bo Z's is all about burgers and salads. And that it does well, if not with much atmosphere. My first time here, I got the bare bones Parmesan Caesar mayo double patty burger on a bun. I added a tomato and would have gotten a couple more toppings if I'd known. But, no matter, the meat tasted like a higher grade Wendy's patty (that's not a bad thing)--the Caesar mayo and tasty bun elevating the sandwich. Also got the misnamed Chicken P Salad, which I thought had chicken but actually had chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) falafel balls and other good stuff. Fine/find by me! Unfortunately, I felt afraid to ask too many questions from the almost surly server who, nevertheless, managed my order and brought it to me outside. Lighten up! Anyhow, great burger for outside dining. Well worth it!

I went here with a friend because it was conveniently close to where we lived, and we both had huge cravings for burgers. However, Bo Z's was alarmingly unsanitary. The man who prepared our food did not wear gloves or wash his hands while fixing our burgers. Additionally, the furniture was thrown everywhere and there were so much dirt and random garbage on the ground. Lastly, the tables were sticky, and I instantly lost my appetite.When our food arrived, I managed to take a bite. I got the St. Paul Burger because I was intrigued by the idea of putting fries seasoned with Old Bay into my burger. The fries went well with the burger, but the beef patties themselves needed more flavor. Conclusion: filthy location. The Health Department needs to be aware of this restaurant.

Ordered delivery from here and it definitely satisfies a craving for burgers! We got the Saint Paul burger and the Chicago burger, with a large side of onion rings and a chocolate shake. The burgers as a whole were both good with all the toppings, but the beef patties themselves were large, underwhelming, and needed more flavor. The Chicago burger also came with a relish that was dyed bright green --like seriously neon green almost --so that weirded me out. The onion rings had a crumb-type breading which I wasn't expecting, but they were good and still somewhat crispy even after the delivery trip. The chocolate shake was the true star --so creamy and delicious! Delivery was quick. Overall, I have had better burgers but would order from here again if I needed a quick burger fix!

Aside from being an abhorrent eyesore in lieu of what used to be a lovely Donna's, the food here is generic and quick. It's probably a better burger spot than McDonald's, but that's setting the bar low. And in my case, i just wanted a Caprese panini. It took quite a while, as paninis do, but we were handed our carry out bag and headed home.After eating some fries (perfectly reasonable but not special), we opened our sandwiches. Pics below! I'm not sure what that's supposed to be, but a caprese shouldn't have onions on it, and it definitely shouldn't have any sort of tomato paste. I'm pretty sure the sauce had meat in it, too, but being a vegetarian, i really didn't want to find out. We called to complain, but were told that the sandwich was made properly, but even two employees couldn't agree on how the sandwich should be made. In any case, look at the picture. Would you eat that if they told you it was a Caprese?
