This place is all about burgers, but I usually seem to come here during happy hour, which goes a little longer than most places (until 7, I believe). Nice outdoor space with good people-watching on 18th Street in Adams Morgan.

Happy hour has good drink deals and a few smaller versions of regular menu items, if I remember correctly. The mumbo nugs absolutely "slap" as the kids say. Think they're cooked in a sweet Thai chili sauce and come with mint leaves and cilantro and crushed peanuts. For someone who's spent a lot of time in SE Asia and whose favorite cuisine is Thai, I absolutely love these.

Fries are big ol' steak/diner fries and come with a delicious vinegar cream kinda sauce.

Last night I got a burger for only the second or third time and maybe I was especially hungry and/or the perfect amount of buzzed, or just happy to find a place still serving food at 10:00 on Thanksgiving weekend, but it was quite simply one of the best burgers I've ever had. I asked them to surprise me with their best chicken burger and they served up a "mumbo bun." It's the best burger I've had in DC for sure. I've heard a few people grumble about having to pay extra for fries, but the burgers are absolutely huge and have so much going on with them flavor-wise that I was glad I didn't order fries and could barely finish the burger on its own.

I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years now and overlooked this place until recently. Now it's one of my go-to spots. Nice people working there, friendly service, and they knock the food out of the park.

Parking: Might be tough to find parking right on 18th Street, but go up the side street (the restaurant's on a corner but can't remember what the intersecting street is) and you can probably find free street parking.

Their online hours state they close at midnight on their site. My friends and I got there at 11p and it was closed, lights off on a Thurs evening. Update your hours.
I also placed a review on another platform and the manager responded. Stating they closed early because of rain, it wasn't raining when we got there and it was drizzling prior to that. Also because the weather was 34⁰....does the place not operate inside a heated building??

All of my food was delicious. The egg was really messy but hey, that's what a runny egg is. Burger was cooked well. The fries were seasoned nicely. And the Nuggs were fantastic

Excellent chicken sandwich - I rank it as the best I've had in DC. Burgers were large and tasty. Bowl of Cajun fries was big enough for our party of four. It is a great choice for food in the Adam's Morgan area.

Food was good. The server charged us for several items we didn't order and overcharged for some items. The owner tried to make it right but I won't be going back.
