50 Best Burger Restaurants in Washington

“I went with a friend to The Capital Burger on Newbury last week. The space was clean and comfortable, our server was really friendly, and the food came out fast. Great experience—I’d come back without a second thought.“

“The smash burgers and fries are indeed delicious! The special sauce they serve is to die for! And the staff genuinely care about their customer and their restaurant. I was disappointed that they had no lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, or salt, and that they charge for extra sauce (I was using it on my fries). The friendly, handsome cashier gave my friend and I cards for free burgers and asked that I leave a review, which showed they care about their customers having a great experience and appreciate the feedback. Oh yeah, I thought the smashburger should be listed as such on the menu, and that they should be either bigger or cheaper. Over all I'd give them a 4.5!“

“Top-notch burger. The patty was juicy with crispy edges, the chopped toppings were flavorful and fresh, cutting through the richness of the beef. The bun did not become soggy mess, and was perfectly buttery and toasted.

Edit: The Ube soft serve is worth a second visit. Gorgeous silky texture, not too sweet, deep Ube flavor and the toasted coconut topping is a delicious addition.“

“EASILY one of THE BEST burgers I’ve ever had! And I LOOOOVE burgers! It’s seasoned to perfection! The hun is soft and buttery with a light toast to it! And It digest so well! Quality is A+++++++++++ Never had bad service! I love it here!! 😃🤤“

“Nick greeted us like long lost friends - it was our first time and we asked about the story of Nick’s Pizza! He’s a veteran who cares about this neighborhood! All fresh and in-house made sauces and dough (flour from Italy!) and you can taste the difference! A must visit! Can’t recommend enough! Chicken Masala is unique and delicious - give it a try! No wonder it’s their #1 seller!“

“Excellent experience, excellent food, and excellent service! Thanks Lenny!“

“Amy recommended this through the DC by foot walking tour Facebook page… and it did not disappoint me! I had the BLTA… Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich… And it was awesome. I may not be able to go to it again this trip… But I’ll plan to add this to one of my favorites.“

“Good burger and fries. Bring back milkshakes please!“

“My son and I were visiting DC and always looking for a good burger. The burgers were outstanding. One of the best I have ever had.“

“The food was delicious.“

“Not too often do I get to have French toast and French fries at the same time“

“My family and I wandered in after seeing a recommendation online. Hill East Burger did not disappoint! The atmosphere was fun and the food was delicious. The staff was also very friendly to our obvious party of non-regulars😊.“

“Quit -____- still confused why Louisvilles food scene is absolutely out of this world but we do not have “fast food vegan” honestly blows my mind. Absolutely stopped here, got burgers and wings and fries. I couldn’t have been more happy. Maybe waited around 10/15 minutes for food to be ready which is actually nothing. So satisfied.“

“About a mile from the convention center walking, didn’t realize it was inside the WF. There’s seating available going up a few stairs after ordering/picking up. Ordered a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries - they were good but I may have over done it today. I got crazy and got BBQ sauce, tasty with a tad of spice. I enjoyed my meal and service was friendly. I’d maybe come back but not a fan of it being inside of WF.“

“My server Jahniya W. was excellent with her knowledge of the menu and very welcoming! The preparation of my food was Fast, Fresh, & Delicious! I order French Toast, double egg, & 2 slices of Bacon. All of my items were made to perfection! The dinning area was clean & organize. I see this server becoming a manager at this facility soon!“

“The brugers are so good even the mushroom burger (im shocked). but the outside seating area is not the cleanest so some birds were all up in my burger n fries. Still the selections are good. Also the music was too loud, but the sogns were so good so I didn't mind that much.“

“Could not recommend this place more! 10/10 - service was impeccable, food was amazing, and location was great. All you can eat brunch does not disappoint. They go above and beyond for their customers. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food was great but the service was anbove and beyond awesome!!! All smiles and extra-friendly service. We enjoyed just watching all the employees interact with each other and customers alike. Angel was our server. She’s the best! Thanks for the experience.“

“Great place; the atmosphere, staff, and food are amazing. 3 levels with something different offered. So much fun. Great cocktails!“

“La comida deliciosa, pero los empleados no están bien adiestrados para el servicio al cliente The food is delicious, but the employees are not well trained in customer service.“

“IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 500 MILES OF THIS PLACE, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GET YOURSELF A CHICKEN CHESAPEAKE SANDWICH IMMEDIATELY! #wow #11+“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Enjoyed coming here with my family. The young woman at the counter was so friendly. I told her I was hard of hearing and she was so patient with me. The young woman's name is Unique. She really cares. The food was good but the customer service was excellent. This was our first time in the DC area. We will definitely come back here on out next trip here.“

“Best egg dishes in DC! It’s a must-try destination!“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The service is INCREDIBLE. Unbelievably friendly staff. Our food was a little slow to come out, but without even having to bring it to their attention, they apologized and comped us 2 drinks. When the food did arrive, it was absolutely delicious. The sliders were juicy, and if you get them, make sure you order the fries because the seasoning is divine. Also really loved the fried green tomatoes! We had a lovely time!“

“love stoneys please put fried pickles on the menu tho“

“I don't know how anyone can give this place less than 5 stars. The value propositions is OUTSTANDING. You get a whole french baguette which crispy and taste amazing, a salade, fries and a big steak for 40$.
Even if you dont care about value, the food taste freaking awesome, steak is well cooked, well seasoned and tender.“

“The food is amazingly fresh and delicious.“

“A place that has a simple menu but executes it well. You can get a single or double and burgers come with house sauce, grilled onions, cheese and pickles. Cheese was gooey, house sauce was nice and the fries were hot and crispy. It’s definitely a basic setup but the music was good and there is a decent amount of seating.“

“Service is absolutely amazing & the porterhhouse for 2 was icing on the cake. Rockefeller oysters, calamari highly recommend. Far better than a chain steakhouse like a Jeff Ruby or Del Frisco, steak is actually juicy and flavorful. Staff was amoung the best and extremely personable no doubt of why its a 4.4 review but should be a solid 5 for the experience any quality. (Atmosphere is super relaxed, which I like a ton! Top notch food & service without the expectation of wearing a tux).“

“I got a bacon cheeseburger and large fry for takeout. The air conditioning must have been broken. It felt like 100 degrees in here. The food was pretty good and it was ready quickly. Just fix the air conditioning. I felt bad for the employees.“

“Best Detroit style pizza I have ever had. Michaela was an incredible server. I recommend location near Howard University in DC!! A must when in town.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Best egg dishes in DC! It’s a must-try destination!“

“We went to the Mono (Georgetown) location and our burgers were excellent. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. There was outdoor seating enjoyed by many, but we chose to sit indoors and people-watch in the charming, bustling area on a Sunday afternoon. Great experience as out-of-towners!“

“Our server made our dining experience enjoyable. He stated that he doesn't write down orders and we put his skills to the test. The food was good, we could tell that the menu has changed. The Peach Bourdon Sangria was really good. If you're in the Gallery Place/Chinatown Area, go to Clyde's!“

“This venue was phenomenal as someone who frequents concerts. Danny, our hostess, was SO nice and she gave us water while waiting and answered all of our questions , genuinely best staff ever, such sweet kind people! Thank you for hosting a concert :)“

“I recommend Everything! DC9 is a very dope place to hang out! The vibe there is unmatched and the staff are amazing! No complaints from me overall 10/10🌟“

“As a Chinese ，I must say their food suits our tastes perfectly. If you're looking for authentic Chinese flavors, this is a great choice. The table is clean, and the dining atmosphere is pleasant. I've included the menu with some of our highly recommended dishes; I hope you enjoy them.“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go! The Roost was my go to during the pandemic with tons of outdoor seating. Since it was in my neighborhood we frequented a lot. The staff watched my little one practically grow up there! It became our meeting place and neighborhood watering hole. Quick and efficient and some of the best food and customer service! We’ve moved from the area but always stop by when in town because it feels like home!“

“Ordered Taylor Gourmet on Uber Eats. It came up as a black owned business near me so of course I wanted to check it out to support. And the food was great! I ordered the California Avenue sandwich. I should have gotten a regular size but I got a large and it is just that. A Large 😂 I also tried the cracked spuds and they were ok. Would def eat here again ! Thanks for the freshness“

“They need more seating. Especially on concert nights at the anthem“

“Great open mic, great beer and awesome Frenchie burger!“

“There is something for everyone at Her Diner! Kelly & Thida are serving up their dream come true: A fun, delicious dining and/or drinks space… that is a safe space for all! We’ve loved eating at Her Diner before it was. My child (now almost 23) and I started going for the Drag Watch party when they were 13! They would win shots for me with their drag trivia knowledge 🥰 They even did their first few drag performances there thanks to Kelly, Thida and their Queendom💝 And when Her Diner finally took form, I think the food and decor got even better! Thank you for bringing us Her Diner! She’s the best! 💖👸💖“

“I loved my experience, my friend even got à cake for his bithday and the girl was really gentle!“

“This chain store is great.👍🏻“

“Great service, enjoyed very much!“

“Can't say enough great things.
Wingos had the best wings I've eaten in over 25 years. Perfectly cooked. Extra crisp on outside yet still juicy.
Would give anything to have one here. The owner and employees were very nice.
They even gave us some free desert. Wow wow wow. Soooo delicious 😋..“

“z burger is so awesome !!!!!“
