The Royal Blue opened Halloween weekend 2022 in Baltimore's Station North Arts District, from the acclaimed team behind Johnny Rad's and Snake Hill. The 4,000-square-foot space blends a retro bar atmosphere with a dance-floor back room and all-night energy.
Its Royal Blue Smashburger uses double Angus patties, sticky griddled onions, applewood-smoked bacon, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, and RB sauce on a toasted Big Marty's sesame bun. Baltimore critics called it excellent, killer, and insanely delicious.

The Royal Blue's version holds up to others in the city. The sesame seed bun was terrific - an often-overlooked component.
Everything from the smashburger to Pete's Pasta is delicious and well put together.
While the burger doesn't garner the hype, it is solid enough for a monthly visit.
The food is good, the frose is great, and the bartenders are delightful.
