41 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.“

“Cashier smiled greeted us beautifully. Explain everything wonderfully.

We got cheeseburgers and shared the loaded fries. Them fries man! They aaARE SINFULLL!!! Do👏 not 👏eat 👏 them 👏 while👏 standing 👏up. You will be seated. These by far, are the best fries I ever consumed. The sauce was fabulous. The tang was tang-ing. The CRUNCH, and sauce ratio had my knees weak. Bravo y’all. OUT-EFFIN—STANDING!!! Been around the world and y’all out here in DC servin’ it up! From New York, will be coming back.“

“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!! 😃🤤“

“I’ve worked in restaurants my whole life, making and serving food (including burgers and fries). I just stopped by Joia last night, for the first time. I ordered a double patty. I have to say that it might have been the best burger I’ve ever tried. Nothing too fancy, just the perfect size and balance of ingredients. I didn’t intend to get any fries, but after ordering my burger, I asked the employee who was serving me if I could try one. It was so good, that I instantly asked to order some, only to find out that they had gone ahead and generously thrown in a batch on the house for me. I literally have never written a review in my life (google, yelp, otherwise) but I was so into it I thought I should share. Super friendly, low key atmosphere, fast, and delicious. I highly recommend it and I’ll be going back there. Thanks Joia.“

“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.“

“Nick’s Pizza is the answer to authentic homemade pizza when you can’t make your own! It’s the freshest ingredients and the perfect crust - not too thick or thin. I highly recommend giving this locally owned pizza a try - you will NOT be disappointed!!!! I also have to mention that Nick is an awesome guy!“

“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.“

“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😊.“

“Quite simply the best burgers and fries I have ever tried!
So good you wish to hug the staff (but don't do it without their consent).
So good I forgave my schoolmate who stole my favorite toy car in 2nd grade (but I still want it back!).

Try for yourselves!“

“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.“

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

“The food was delicious.“

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

“This location is pretty special for many reasons! One of many locations Thats for the culture and community! Great music! Every time I dine-in!
Food never disappoints! Affordable prices. And amazing customer service! They have bottomless pancakes that come with some breakfast combos! For the pancake lovers!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visiting DC from the UK. We all really liked the burger, agree with other comments it is a greasy affair but then again nobody’s coming here to prepare for a bikini competition. I respect the menu concept, do one thing, do it well. No options. I guess if you don’t want coke or water you don’t need to buy one. Servers were excellent and price wise, you aren’t getting much better for this area. My only issue was the space, it’s quite stark and basic. I think you can go ultra basic on the menu, but such a basic setting might be a step too far and it doesn’t need to be, because they have a great crew that could hold down a more personal atmosphere.“

“The food was amazing, especially the fat burgers, fresh fries, and savory onion rings washed down with any of over 70 flavors of milk shake! The staff is friendly and Sam the manager is the GOAT. If you’re on Capitol Hill hit up Z burger!“

“The food was really good. I had the Cobb salad and it was delicious! Tried my son's sweet and tangy wings and they were incredible. Now let me give a HUGE shout out to the star of the show, Marty! This guy is a ROCKSTAR! He bartended and handled about 8 additional tables. We never waited long for anything. This man had it HANDLED! Give the dude a raise! Seriously! He needs some sort of recognition!“

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

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My husband and I stumbled upon Pj's the 3rd night of our trip and went back 2 more times for cocktails and Oysters. True DC vibes with a friendly atmosphere and service. One of the favorite spots from our trip. Not to mention the prices were so reasonable compared to some of the other suggested spots we went to. The prices were great and the service was better. Don't sleep on this one.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food is amazingly fresh and delicious.“

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

“z burger is so awesome !!!!!“

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

“This chain store is great.👍🏻“

“Bacon double burger: 9/10 The first bite of this burger was full of flavor. I recommend the secret sauce with it. After a car ride home the burger wasn’t much to look at but was great!

About the size of my fist a bit bigger it was a large burger and definitely worth the money for the combo $19 to get the fries and drink included.

4/5 seasoned fries: good but not the star of the show it was crispy and seasoned well.

During lunch I wouldn’t go to this location unless you work in the plaza. Parking was hard to find and $15 for 1 hour if you use the plaza parking.“

“Awakening is a wonderful experience.

A well crafted vision executed with precision and care.

A true snapshot of DC, from the ambience to the food—with every staff member serving at your pleasure and ensuring your dining and imbibing adventure is top shelf.

It’s giving Cheers—a place where everybody knows your name—but melanin rich.

Black owned & operated,
get out there and support!!!!“

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

“Just ate here for first time and loved the establishment! Shakeel was very personable and respectful. The food was made fresh and delicious. I didn't see if anyone complained about prices, but it’s DC, everything is expensive here. Great food and atmosphere, will be back!“
