Gary’s Grilled Turkey Burgers & Sauces

Seriously as good as it gets. Huge juicy burger. I had mine with cheddar, bbq sauce and horseradish mustard on a potato roll. Kudos to the chef and the service.

The burgers are amazing. Ive been coming to his stand for two years now when they are just that… amazing. Ive brought others and they agree… There werent there at the start of the 2015 season. It sucked to come down just for the burger and they werent out there with the rest of the vendors.
Plus:
The burgers are amazing as ive already said twice now. No denying this, I like the classic as well as the lamb. I cant say I’ve had a better turkey burger in baltimore.
Negative:
The wait and the manner in which they serve. For instance today… we had to wait for classic burgers, we were told 15 – 20 minutes. It actually turned into closer to 30 minutes. Tack on an extra 5 minutes to that for me because they gave out burgers out of order and someone that was behind me got their burgers first. Really frustrating and Gary mouthing «I got you» doesn’t make that better or my annoyance go away. Another time I previously was there, someone ordered 10 burgers and they were all sold out after that, forget the people that had been waiting in line 20 minutes. It makes sense that maybe he would say, over 5 burgers u have to call ahead. Just a suggestion. Plus, I could do with less talking/​sarcasm and telling me what I like from the guy that runs it. Ashley W mentions the chit chat issue in her review below as well. I know if I want a burger with horseradish vs habeneros in it. Exact comment, «If you dont like habenros, then you dont like horseradish.» Well actually, I do. I just took the burger without the horseradish because I didnt wanna hear his comment on the matter.
All in all, if u want a one of a kind turkey burger but dont mind maybe getting skipped after waiting 35 minutes after they said 15 – 20 and a overly talkative vendor… this is your place.

The best turkey burger on the planet! I placed my order early at the Baltimore Farmer’s Market and waited patiently with other fanatics. Definitely a must taste! Can’t wait for next week.

We live at McHenry Row and Gary and his team came by, hopefully sponsored, and gave away free turkey burgers. Now, I’ve never had any kind of poultry burger. Not exactly my thing – I love red meat!
THESE BURGERS WERE OUTSTANDING. PHENOMENAL.
My roommate and I got the six-​pepper burger, which has diced/​chopped chili peppers in the patty and is topped with pepper jack cheese and this amazing BBQ sauce.
My best friend and boyfriend both got his original burger, which were very different. Had thyme in the patty and was very smoky, topped with BBQ, a horseradish sauce, and BBQ.
Personally prefer the six pepper, but both were delicious! I highly recommend grabbing one up whenever you see him around or at the farmer’s market. Don’t forget to tip :) The «staff» is stellar as well!

It’s very difficult to find a turkey burger that packs a lot of flavor, but this burger will punch you with its greatness. Yes, the line is long. But you definitely will not be disappointed

Wonderful! worth the long wait in line.

It really was as good as it gets. Every time I saw the long line at the University of Maryland farmer’s market, I decided to avoid the line. Finally, I decided to brave the line today and gave it a try. Totally worth the wait. Plan to try a different type next week and probably try their sauces too. One of the best $ 5 turkey burgers around.

**BEST turkey burger in Baltimore
This juicy was a tangy, sweet, flavorful hunk of juicy beef topped with Gary’s Smokey BBQ sauce. Amazing. Nothing more to say except TRY ONE.

Totally agree with Paul T’s review. I wouldn’t normally go for a turkey burger, but their stand at the University of Maryland Farmers Market on Tuesdays is usually 20 strong. A thick juicy burger with a flavorful crispy outside. I got it with a slice of cheddar (provolone is also an option) and a smear of all-​natural BBQ sauce. Other sauce options include a horseradish, hot sauce, and super hot sauce. Very yum, and worth the wait (waited over twenty minutes).
One complaint was they were pulling together call-​ahead orders (which we didn’t know we could do at a farmers market stand) and it was torture to wait while burgers were packed up and stacked at the table close to the line, while the line barely moved. That’s why I knocked off a star. Workers were very friendly, but they could sacrifice some chit chat to move the line a little faster.

Okay, the Baltimore Farmers’ market has got a number of great vendors, but this one is simply outstanding and deserving of their own listing. Besides, Gary’s on the road like Jack Kerouac and (if you’re really, really lucky) can be found at a Farmers’ Market near you.
When I first noticed Gary’s stand, I was immediately dubious. Turkey burgers tend to be dry and flavorless things (in my experience), and frankly there are so many great food options at the Farmers’ Market I was ready to keep walking. But why was the line so long? I was also intrigued by the myriad bottles of hot sauce on display, so I decided to give it a go.
Holy schneikes– Gary’s like Vincent Van Gough, only with a turkey burger. And both ears.
The burger was beautifully moist, with a complex multi-​layered smokiness I found to be simply delicious. A layer of barbeque sauce underneath provides a sweet tanginess that serves as a masterful counterpoint to the spicy horseradish mustard adorning the cheddar cheese on top. The whole works is delivered in a potato bun which is a nice touch.
Gary himself shows an obviously sincere interest in his customers’ enjoyment of his creations, asking each new customer to «come back and tell me how it is.» This passion for quality shows in this simple, honest and delicious sandwich that delivers far more than its $ 5 price tag would suggest.
