Really solid burgers here. The smash style has that great crispy edge and juicy bite, and the Ghostburger itself is packed with flavor. Fries came out hot and crunchy, which I loved. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that it took a little longer than expected for the food to come out, and the space can feel a bit tight. Still, the quality of the burger and the fun flavor combos make this spot worth checking out.

We were in DC for a quick trip and happened upon Ghostburger. I love the order set up. We walked in and placed our order for dine in and found a nice little table. The food was really delicious. My only complaint is that there was no actual cheese available-American and “whiz” maybe there was blue cheese, but I’m not a blue cheese kind of person. So both me and my daughter opted for no “cheese” on our meals. The food was delicious. It was fresh. It was fast. The milkshake...

Sorry about the photo of empty plates, the food was delicious! 5 star burgers for the price of McDonald’s. Get a signature cocktail to sip on as you devour your ghost burger and one of their delectable sides. Top it off with a sweet treat like their ghost crispy treat. Dine inside or out while you enjoy the history of DC.
