Red Apron - The Roost

The food is heavy, but it often hits the spot at The Roost. My go to is the Pimento Burger, which comes with delicious fries. Even when it's busy, the wait isn't very long for your food. Pair it with a sour ale or beer from Shelter. That's the beauty of The Roost!

Yummy nachos. But the cheese is grainy and a bit floury.

The only thing bad about Red Apron is that it's far away from me. You can never go wrong when a butcher shop starts making sandwiches. Soko, anyone?

As expected, their burgers are stupendous. I tried two of their more notable burgers and they were both delicious.

RED APRON ORIGINAL (2 Smash Patties, American Cheese, Island Sauce, House Pickles, Red Onion & Shredded Lettuce) - really quality burger meat, fresh trimmings and their island sauce puts it over the top. A+.

PIMENTO BURGER (2 Smash Patties, Bacon, Tomato Jam, and Pimento Cheese) - it's all about the pimento cheese and tomato jam that's lathered onto this burger. If you're a pimento cheese fan, you'll love this burger.

Service was friendly and kind, which made it even a better experience. They brought a carafe of water, cutlery and a cloth napkin outside where I was sitting. Love the Roost and Red Apron fits right in

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 italian beef.... Chicago would love a word. That was complete garbage. You all should just take this off the menu or rename it. $20 for basically a roast beef sandwich. Gross.

So disappointed in Red Apron. I used to look forward to their sandwiches. And especially their fries. Last night I ordered one and there was as much lettuce as there was chicken. And the fries I was looking forward to have been replaced with some gross McDonalds wannabe frozen fries that had almost no rosemary and garlic and were limp and under cooked.

I don't know if it's new management, cost cutting, or what, but I really hope y'all switch back to loading up your food (and cooking it) like you used to.

Absolutely delicious (if slightly pricy) fries.

No menus. No options for menus. No list of places. No signs saying what anyone offers (except for Linda's). Switching between eateries in a drop down is a hassle. Have not tried to food, but would not recommend solely on ordering experience. I wouldn't have had my phone out to write this review if there was any option other than QR menus

Get the cheeseburger slider with nothing on it but cheese and ketchup. It is what a burger should taste like and be known in the whole entire world (says my 7 year old)

Red Apron the Original Burger is delicious! It reminded me of a fancy burger version of the Big Mac. I will be back again for this burger for sure.

Wanted to get out the house and experience some fresh air and a change of scenery. Decided on the Pimento burger and it did not disappoint. Thoroughly satisfied with the taste, it is hard to find a good burger in DC and better yet write a review but here I am. Every time I put it down to get a relief and catch my breath I found myself picking it back up and savoring the flavor of it again. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

This Red Apron is situated as part of a food hall within the roost. The finishings are upper-scale but comfortable, and the hall is pleasant during off hours. During peak-hours, however, it becomes a little more loud and crowded than I personally prefer. Red Apron used to offer the best fries in DC, but since they changed their recipe, the fries are the second best (second only to the memory of the old recipe. I also highly recommend the pancake hamburger.

Parking: During peak-hours, you may have to drive two or more blocks off Pennsylvania Avenue to find an available spot (paid or unpaid).
