Jineen CarcamoMay 20, 2015Came for a good burger and got a standard patty. Definitely should've gone to the place a few doors down or to the &pizza place. We had a great waitress though - super cool and down to earth!
Susie SoozNovember 6, 2013I'm sitting on the patio in November, drinking an Abita and waiting on nachos. I'm surprised no one mentions the wood burning fire place inside that is so cozy and toasty in the winter.
Renata lJanuary 3, 2017The soundtrack is nice, burguer is good and they have cheap beer! Great to spend the night having a nice conversation with friends
Jessica PlacenciaFebruary 10, 2015Mystery shots! Get one for $6 get a PBR and if you guess the shot right you get a free round for you and your friends
This is one of the most chill places to come on U Street. I love the unassuming, upscale dive feel (if that makes sense). And I have to second the bleu cheese burger. Oh and can't forget the Deadlift.
Burger DaysMarch 8, 2011Small joint offering up sizable patties on sesame seed buns. Served up in a variety of styles including Cajun, Bleu Cheese & Cheese-Lovers variety. Decent selection of boozers on tap too! Read more
Brian RoweApril 6, 2013laid back place, food takes a long time though, so enjoy if you're not in a rush and want to relax.- Keshema DavidsonSeptember 27, 2011Love this spot, definitely going back. Their veggie burger was delicious, try it even if you're not vegetarian!
Derek JonesOctober 10, 2014Be careful of employees conning you into buying them shots! There are some slick guys who work there.
Kela WalkerJanuary 20, 2013Service kinda of slow & very lacking. Lots of pple on staff but inefficient. I had 2 get my own menus & Felt bad to keep bothering the waitress but there was lil attend 2 needs i.e utensil, ketchup
Great music, good vibes, and $6 mystery beer + shot deals
Try the steak and cheese. It's best. I love this place.
Only place I've asked for medium rare and actually have gotten it!
Nathan CastellanosAugust 18, 2013Mediocre burgers at best. Don't get the salad, it made me weep. Cheap pbr though and good fries.
The owner is going to export the joy of Port O'Call NOLA here whether you like it or not. Classic burger, baked potato, anything else your a fool. Who D'at?!?
Drew BennettAugust 20, 2010Desperados = Polly's with a scaled down menu and better burgers. Not a bad thing.
