Roberto Bruder AguiarJune 25, 2018great expectations coming here. Not so good. They burn the burger with lots of fire. I had the Western BBQ which was not far from what you can do in your house with a BBQ sauce you buy in Walmart.
Steve GApril 5, 2013The Irish burger with the corned beef on top was awesome. Onion rings were excellent and french fries too. I will definitely make it a point to stop here next time I'm in DC
Washington PostMarch 11, 2013Burgers with "mojo sauce" and sweet potato fries are worth the wait. Also try the Greek, a lamb burger with tzatziki sauce and feta. Read more
KatDecember 24, 2012Best, most scrumptious burger in DC (sorry Shake Shack) hands down (...and start eating that burger right away). Loved the soda fountain. It could use a little better ventilation with an open kitchen.
Washingtonian MagazineOctober 21, 2011The big, juicy patties are crafted from dry-aged beef and set on puffy brioche buns. We like them dressed with cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and grilled onions.
Rachel OrrMarch 31, 2014Great atmosphere.. Love the music selection. Super friendly staff. Loved my burger with blue cheese! And don't forget to get some Parmesan fries! Delish!
al viciedoApril 29, 2012Nice, juicy, man burger. Just a bit too much bread for my taste. Although, this cooked to order, and prime cut of aged meat makes this burger a winner. Skip the caramelized onions, get the mojo sauce.
Amy MarieAugust 23, 2014Get the table by the window so you can people watch. The veggie burger is unique. Doesn't taste like a burger at all. It's rice based and sweet but very good.
M. G. StellaOctober 28, 2012The Wellington is the best imaginable, even without the bun. The asparagus is great too. Fix the ventilation-my eyes and throat are burning in here!
Donovon BradfordSeptember 24, 2010For those of us who are not Big Red Meat eaters you will become one after eatting one of their burgers! They are cook to order the way you ask to perfection. Try the Wellington w/ black truffles Heave
Burger DaysDecember 21, 2011BGR’s July Burger of the Month, the Red, White and Blue Burger was Adam's favorite of the year. Perfect combo with a juicy tomato, decently fresh bacon, ranch & blue cheese– it was all on point. Read more
Eric BreeseMarch 11, 2013No need to reiterate other points about the food -- it's great. But the service and decor is worth mentioning, as they're both top notch.- Brett WallaceMarch 3, 2013Daily lunch special is the way to go. Burger, fries, and drink for a little under 10 bucks and it'll fill you up.
Joe BananasFebruary 26, 2012The veggie burger and ahi tuna with pineapple, pickled ginger and teriyaki are awesome "meatless" options. Can't wait until lobster returns!
everything is always cooked to the perfect desired temperature.
Examiner.comJune 6, 2011The best deal can be found Mon. - Fri. 11am – 2pm. The Box Set offers a regular or veggie burger, fries, & a fountain soda for $8.99 – a total steal considering that a burger alone can run about $9. Read more
Stephanie DNovember 13, 2014Good food when you're having a bad day. Love the fries & a shake or root beer float. Huge servings.
Alex OrrFebruary 21, 2014Good burgers, especially the Greek and Wellington, but mediocre fries. Save some money and calories and just order a burger. It's certainly enough for a healthy-sized meal.
Tiffany ChangSeptember 11, 2013One of the most flavorful turkey burgers I've ever tasted. Looking forward to trying the Wellington next time!
Summer HoyaMay 16, 2012"I don't care that it's a chain, the sliders here are awesome and they have over 50 sodas to choose from.."- Carlos, SFS'14
You must get sweet potato fries, and definitely add blue cheese to that plain ole burger. So delish.
NikitaJuly 16, 2011I've been here a gazillion times, but I just found out that there is a VIP card that makes your 10th meal free. I'm sure they owe me a meal by now, but better late than never I guess.
Ron OppenheimAugust 14, 2014They toast and butter the bun really well. Fries a bit salty, bit otherwise, a great meal.
DanMarch 31, 2010Keep it simple and enjoy a bacon cheeseburger. The asparagus fries are to die for, add rosemary and garlic to them and get a double order -- you'll thank yourself later.
The turkey burger is a meal in itself. The lobster roll is all huge chunks of claw meat. Delicious!- M. G. StellaAugust 1, 2012Hot damn! I don't know what they do to those mushrooms but the Wellington is simply to die for!
Michael HoffackerFebruary 22, 2010Great quality meats and fries, fun environment but a little pricy. I think I like Good Stuff Eatery a little more but I live in Dupont so I'll definitely eat here more often.
kazahelOctober 16, 2010A single order if fries can easily feed four (really)! Try the Parmesan fries & veggie burger or very spicy southwestern burger. Highly recommended.
Real Living | At HomeJuly 5, 2013YUMMY! We love these guys. A worthy mention on this list. Can't go wrong with them.
MMA NationSeptember 28, 2011They're known for their nine-pound burger, but just about everything they make is tasty. Service is a little slow, but portions are gigantic.
Jared ChristmanApril 25, 2012The best burger joint in DC. Great burgers, great fries, AWESOME soda fountain.
Mike ReidOctober 29, 2011The next level...when you want something a lil nicer than FIVE GUYS...which is awesome in it's own right:)
Humberto MartinezJanuary 17, 2012Good choice, partner. Make sure to see what the burger of the month is before you order.
Mehhh...prices could be better but it's closer than black and orange so I make it a mission at least twice a week

Erica JDecember 19, 2010Great burgers. Southwestern burger hit the spot. You get tons of fries so a single order is good for 2 ppl.
Southwestern burger was amazing!!!! A must try if you like a little kick!
Not sure if it's changed. Wellington burger didn't have topped onions and weird mojo sauce. When I complained the guy said it was exactly as should be. this place used to be better...
Miriam WolkDecember 9, 2010Loved the sweet potato fries with rosemary. The veggie burger was good, but fell apart as I was eating it.
Eric ShuttDecember 7, 2009Lobster burger, Wellington burger, 9Lb burger - check out new BGR in Dupont Cirtcle for the cross b/t 5guys + Matchbox. Delicious. Read more
One of the best burger places. Not at all over priced for what you're getting...
