“My experience I had with eating at checkers was wonderful the food was great and the cashier the employees was very nice. If you are ever in the DMV area or any checkers please try the soft chocolate chip cookie brownie. Oh my goodness it was sooooooooooo delicious ?????“
“Overall food was decent. Fries with chili and cheese were above average and milkshakes were excellent. Where it failed was the burgers. Probably one of the most average hamburgers I have ever had and I find it comparable to McDonald's. I didn't have it I was told their half smoke was delightful.I am giving it a 3 as it is apparently well-known but was fairly average in my perspective.I'm updating this to 4 stars because after our meal 90 year old owner, Virginia, took time to talk to us and tell us all about her and the restaurants history that is rich and pivotal in the black community of the area. Amazing conversation with her and if you can you should visit with her!“
“Family time, good service didn’t wait long for food and it was great! I’ll admit it’s a little on the pricy side but it’s definitely worth it!Kid-friendliness: My kids had fun eating and watching games, also had nice decorations around the restaurant“
“Had the opportunity to experience this dining venue for a Sunday brunch,recommended by family member. The brunch menu at first was a little confusing as to what our quantity of options we were entitled to, once that was clarified enjoyed a delightful meal of fried chicken & waffles -brussel sprouts-deviled eggs -berry mixed topping pancakes -crab cakes and a mimosa. The only thing that wasn’t too pleasant was the waiter assigned to us -he didn’t seem very customer friendly-I don’t even think he introduced himself. However his slack was taken up by a wonderful young lady by the name of Allie -very friendly -took the time to explain the menu -when an ordering mistake had been made -corrected it and provided a alternative, she made the experience so much better -excellent customer service“
“Ive been coming here for years. Whether its for drinks, dinner, a show, or a date (or all of the above), the atmosphere, food, and service is always spot on. Last night, I got the Chophouse burger add jalapenos (med well) with OB tots. Burger was seasoned and cooked perfectly, tots were hot and crispy. Bangin.“
“As someone with dairy and egg allergies, I was extremely grateful for the many vegan options on the menu. We came our first night in DC and had the delicious vegan nachos and vegan BBQ “chicken” bites and I was beyond impressed. We had such a great experience that we came back again…. And again while we were in DC. Everyone in my family (vegan and not) raved about their food and our service was phenomenal. Add in the great bookstore attached that the kids and us enjoyed while waiting for food and this place is a must go. If you’re a beer lover, try the Busboys Haze and you won’t be disappointed.“
“Very good and super knowledgeable about gluten. The tots are fried in their own frier and they knew the sauces I could get! Delicious and so so good! I got the loaded tots and while my husband loved his Mr Briggs he couldn’t stop eating mine too!“
“Yes! I love the concept. I love how it’s a hand made patty and the burger was cooked perfectly. In addition, you have an option to add items to your burger if you do the build your burger option. You can also choose their preselected choices which look really good. I chose to add sautéed onions, bacon, and Italian sausage. I will say although the Italian sausage was good, I wouldn’t add it again; it didn’t hurt the burger overall. You choose your seasoning (I chose basic), sauce (house bbq), lettuce and tomato. I also ordered the seasoned fries (garlic parmesan). I was curious so I asked for the spicy ranch. It was pretty good.“
“Stumbled upon this Gem on a cranky and bored night! I happen to have rolled into a rock a concert! I was with my girl and we just needed a spot to chill and hold a vibe. The concert was great!! The energy that circled the air was amplified and transcending! I downed 2 beer and out of no where a guy offer to get us some shots! We returned the favor. It turned out to be an epic night of music and great bar service along with some good craft beers. I'm dying to return so I can get a bite to eat since I've heard good things about their menu. Also wouldn't mind another rock concert to attend in the future..“
“Vibe and customer service were great, though the burgers were just a bit "meh" overall. Not bad, just underwhelming. We enjoyed the fries though - crispy and well-seasoned. The veggie patty seemed homemade, which was great, but it overpowered the other flavors on the Charlie Burger.“
“I got their exactly 950pm and the bartender and waitress were very friendly and nice , the kitchen was just about or closing but rather than say sorry it’s too late they checked with the kitchen and they made us the 3 best burgers and fries , it was all delicious . We got double burgers and fries and honestly the price to me like any other good burgers but these were better was reasonable, the quality was good . We’ll be back for sure , compliments to the chef .“
“I went there because no other restaurants around there had open seating and I didn't have reservations. I should have come here first because the food was great. The hostess set us up for a table for five right away, which suprised me because it was crowded. Our waitress was right on top of things and our food came quickly. I had the chicken parm sandwich and I loved it. The other in my group had burgers of different varieties. Everyone thought the food was delicious. The bar was good too. I'd definitely come back.“
“Was in D.C. for a week and I am not exaggerating when I say I ate there every day. This food is some of the best I’ve had in a long time. It’s the main reason I know I’ll miss being in the area. The fact that it’s so good sensitivity-friendly meant options for foods I can never get otherwise, and I’m so bummed that the closest one is 10 hrs away.PLNT Burger, I’m begging of you to make a location in Atlanta. We have lots of Whole Foods here and I’m sure your restaurant would thrive in this area. You guys rock and MAN do y’all make the best food.Vegetarian options: It’s all veganDietary restrictions: Gluten free and soy free options“
“I wondered around the area for new spots I could try on my lunch break and yesterday on 3/12/2024 I stumbled across this gem .. the two guys who were working were extremely nice and the one guy who took my order was extremely knowledgeable , and he was patient with me . I was also able to grab a great cup of ice ... ! I ordered the burger with the candied jalepenos and by the time I got to my desk my food was still pipping hot and I didn't even get caught by supervisor while I was sneaking fries lol !!! All the sauces were great and the burger itself was a solid 10/10 !!! I'm so thankful for this place and can't wait until payday to come back lol !! Thank you so much !!Sincerely , the woman who smelled really good :)“
“Great place to hang out with friends, play games, and snack over drinks. I’m not a beer person but I quite like the beers here. Good vibes in here - good music but not so loud you can’t hear people. I’ll be coming back for future game nights!“
Pizza • $$
“We just had the best pizza and experience. We were a large party and the service was fast and efficient. The food was delicious. We had a Detroit native in our group and it was approved! Debbie was a wonderful manager and so personable - she entertained our kids and was so sweet! We had the classic, big Ang and MVP and a yummy burger. We’ll definitely be back! Exceeded expectations!“
“My favorite place in the broader neighborhood! The staff are friendly and attentive! The food is consistently good - everything on the menu is good, my favorites are the ribs platter, Gouda burger, steak and cheese, wings, blackened seared tuna app, and great fries too. I, and other friends, go out of our way for the hand-dipped chicken fingers (a staple pickup for take out since I live nearby).In addition to great selection of beers, they always have NA beer selections too, which I get when coming with the kids. They love the nachos, wings and kids menu.Kid-friendliness: Seating indoors is all high-tops, so low-tops are on covered patio. Good kids menu w/crayons. Never a problem with tables during non-peak hours, but if a big game or something, do the best you can.“
“I got the smoky sweet chicken wrap and the cauliflower nuggets w/ fries meal. I ordered online and got there about an hour after my food was ready. The breading on the nuggets didn't really taste like much and the fries didn't have seasoning on them. I really liked the wrap and the tangerine drink tho, so I'd just get smth else if I go here again“
“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!“
“The hard part is parking but there is a parking garage across the street. This is for eating outside so if the weather is good then it’s great to catch a quick bite. Service is a cashier or kiosk, but remember, it’s a quick bite with friends. The food is good but can get a little messy ( mostly sandwiches), but there’s a public restroom nearby to wash your hands. Both the Virginia honey butter chicken sandwich and duck fat fries are flavorful.“
“Yes! I love the concept. I love how it’s a hand made patty and the burger was cooked perfectly. In addition, you have an option to add items to your burger if you do the build your burger option. You can also choose their preselected choices which look really good. I chose to add sautéed onions, bacon, and Italian sausage.

“Been to bubbies many times and it’s always so worth the trip! Really appreciate how often they send coupons, gives us the push to order and enjoy their food. We’ve also ordered it for delivery and never had any issues, it’s obviously no longer hot because of the distance but our order has always been correct! Highly recommend.“
“The much-anticipated sister restaurant of Purple Patch opened just a few weeks ago and I'm already hooked! It's a lovely addition to the neighborhood, offering a simple menu with a lot of flavor. The wagyu burger is nicely balanced, and depending on your appetite you can get a single to a triple patty. The ube soft serve with coconut is such a hit and the flavors are perfect. It's been really busy for good reason, so you might have to wait in line especially on really nice days, but service is pretty fast and they also have an order online link. Enjoy the outdoor seating on a nice day! Indoor area is small but very pretty, and stools with counter-style tables lining the interior. Very kid friendly as well as they have a kids' menu,' tables, and neighborhood kids' art on the walls. You can also purchase a few Filipino snacks like v-cut chips and boy bawang (garlic corn nuts), and they also have some canned non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages available. With the addition of Joia Burger, the owner Patrice really shows how much she cares about the Mount Pleasant community and is invested in it. It's a great spot to swing by for a quick meal and friendly faces!“
“Really wish I could give this place a better rating! The people running the place were so nice and friendly — and it’s a great local establishment.Our rockfish sandwich was fine — but we had two catfish sandwiches, and the breading on both was just too salty. Maybe we got a bad batch, so I’m willing to give the place a second try!“
“This burger hotspot with table service opens for lunch and then goes late, available for your late night out and about cravings. I went with the lucky burger - huge 2 patties covered in cheese and sauce. The ingredients - tomatoes, pickles, etc., were super fresh and so so good. We ordered some cajun fries for the table - it was huge, and awesome. The view here is great - wonderful to take in the wharf and do some people watching - really, who needs tv here!?!? Apparently, they also do drinks here as well, so big plus there. This was a great little adventure - highly recommend!“
“Been here twice now and I'm obsessed! I tried the animal the first time and honey butter tots. Both are a 10/10! However the animal is HUGE and to be honest all the sandwiches are pretty big so definitely worth your penny. 2nd time I came, I got the Abe foreman (sausage) and the cinnamon sugar tots. My boyfriend loved them so much he had me go back up to get more! Cashiers are always nice, even when it's busy. The National Landing is such a cute concept with easy access to great food and drink options!“
“On the Wharf strip bouncing from spot to spot, and we “luckily” we stumbled into Lucky Buns. Cool seashore themed decor, friendly staff, and upbeat music. Plus, the drinks strong and tasty. Definitely worth paying a visit even if it’s just to grab a drink, or two, or three ?“
“We always choose Johnny's All American to showcase a lively neighborhood bar to our clients. The decor, paying homage to the owner's grandfather's army service and community involvement, is truly impressive. Witnessing a person's legacy reflected in the intricate details on the walls and artwork adds a special touch to the overall experience. It's a unique and meaningful atmosphere that resonates with both history and community spirit.“
“With the Navy Yard HipCityVeg location closing, I was eager to find a replacement, which I (mostly) found with PLNT Burger.Located inside the Navy Yard Whole Foods, this little vegan burger/chicken shop is a must-try for vegan sandwich enthusiasts. The food tastes much better than it looks, I assure you.The vegan BBQ mushroom burger was delicious and was well-balanced between the sweet and savory BBQ sauce, umami grilled mushroom, faux meat layer and vegan cheese. The housemade strawberry lemonade was crisp and refreshing, and the home style fries were crunchy and well-seasoned.My only COMPLAINT was the utter lack of customer service. With no one else in line, the workers ignored my initial attempts to approach and order food. When someone finally decided to take my order, the woman behind the counter made no attempts to hide her annoyance, rushed my order, and had an attitude. Implementing friendlier customer service policies is the key to any future 5-star reviews.“
“Me and my partner are regulars here and the entire team is awesome. The servers work their butts off to give you the best experience, and the food is consistent every time we go there. It’s a gem on Main Street, and everyone should go. Happy hour is great and happy hour food options are on point.“
“We've been here quite a few times! It's definitely a great spot. Love the vibe, drinks and food. And kid-friendly which is always a plus. Good food menu with many options. My husband leans towards the IPAs and I always go their seltzers! In-laws were visiting so we wanted to take them to one of our favorite spots! The pretzel is by far my favorite pretzel and THE best I've had so far! And the we also love the fried chicken thighs! Pair it up with one of their small salads (still a HUGE portion!) and you have a great meal!“
“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.“
“I tried PLNT Burger for the first time this evening and I’m so mad that I waited until the very last week of living in my neighborhood to try it!!!!!! So delicious! So flavorful and delivered the chargrilled taste of a proper burger … and yet it was plant based! Definitely on my top 5 vegan/vegetarian list and I CAN’T WAIT to try the every item on the menu. Well done PLNT Burger team! ♥️“
“Wife & kids came here for a concert & loved every bit of the experience! From the food to the bands & the bartenders . I had to work and could not attend ? so I guess I missed out on a great night.Kid-friendliness: My kids loved this venue. Can't wait to come back again. There are lots of artifacts to keep the eyes busy.“
“We went here last minute for a Saturday brunch. We sat down as soon as we walked. Food was good. I got the sizzling steak and peppers. My friend ordered the French toast and said it was the best she had had. I don’t recommend the pancakes they turn into mush. Overall great place and definitely recommend. Service could have been better as they were not busy and we felt like they forgot about us at times. Check out more reviews by Taste to Takiya!“
“I had the mushroom Swiss with the rosemary Parmasan fries. The overall meal was great. I love the lightly toasted fluffy bun and the sear on the burger. The fries were amazing!! Great combination with flavors that explodes in your mouth! I ordered mine through door dash for work, I wish I could have dined in to experience the atmosphere.“
“I live close by and was craving for a good burger for dinner. I decided to try out ted’s because I never tried bison meat before. It was spectacular especially the service because I was not wearing the best clothes since it was a last minute decision and the restaurant was about to close. I was expecting a not-so good service because of it but Fred was amazing. He told us about the history of the menu and I came back the next day.“
“Best Philly cheesesteak sub!!! Seasoned very well. I wish they had toasted the bread so it wouldn’t be soggy but it tasted great. Also got the burger supreme, and that was very good as well. French fries were good. Their soy garlic wings are also good. I just wish that it came with blue cheese instead of having to pay a dollar. I’m already paying $16 for 10 wings!! But AnyWho, the food was good. 10/10“
“Had great lunch at this place. First I saw the sign and wondered what "Chinese burger" was. But when I looked at photos on Yelp, I learned that this place has noodles and rice bowls and I decided to go. You can order at the counter or on the touch screen by yourself. I did the latter. Tbh the restaurant name is misleading, because they really don't have burgers. They only had a sandwich with pork. Majority of the items on the menu seemed to be noodle dishes. After scrolling menu pages many times, I ordered braised pork rice bowl and dumplings. Food took about 15 minutes. But then they gave me a sandwich although I ordered a rice bowl. So I had to wait a little more while eating dumplings. Dumplings were nice and juicy. Hot. The sauce that came with them was good. The rice bowl was Ah-mazing. I added free toppings: onion, green pepper and cilantro. The eggs were the best. I should have paid for extra eggs. The braised pork was so flavorful and juicy. A lot of rice. O recommended it for anyone who's very hungry. It's a smaller restaurant, and not suitable for groups of 5 and more, but it is perfect for solo diners and small groups. Will go back.“
“We got gluten free dough for two pizzas, the mushroom and margherita pizza. My god these were good. I personally do not go for gluten free items, but my friend with me could not handle gluten. We both agreed that this was the best gluten free dough on a pizza we'd ever had. Really did not expect it.“
Hamburger • $$$
“*I was welcomed when I opened the door. The menu looks good. Eventhough the students are rude, service was smooth. There was a lunch special. The staff seems ro work well together. I did see a frequent buyer program. The root beer cant be bear. I will be back once a week at least.“
“Indulgently delicious and affordable food offerings along with friendly efficient service. I've tried a couple of the Maryland locations and was very impressed so wanted to check out the new DC location; very comfortable and welcoming. They also offer 24/7 delivery and pickup. Highly recommend checking them out! Try the Old Town Dog!“
“The steak and cheese egg rolls are 10,000 stars!!! They were the best part of my lunch, and so was the warm, soft bread. I ate outside on the patio and the restaurant is at 16th and K, and it was pretty loud outside. I highly suggest eating inside if you want a more quiet, peaceful meal, because that's a very busy intersection. Other than that, the service was superb!“
“Food is expensive. We were disappointed would have gone to a better restaurant. We were so hungry from touring. We stopped and were angry at ourselves for stopping here. Nachos were very good. Rest of meal subpar.. Recommendation go somewhere good.. Washington has some amazing restaurants, go try them...“
“The food is always superb. Turkey burgers and chicken for those not in love with the classics. Even better than the food is the service. We have had a few hiccups with deliveries and each time the good stuff eatery on capital hill has done everything to make it right. They were the hero's making sure the milkshakes were just right on my son's birthday. If you are in the mood for a great burger and want a great team to make sure it's just how you like it- go to Good Stuff.“
“This place is a little gem! I was not expecting what I walked in to. Very relaxed and easy cafe, almost a lounge feeling for the family. The food is so good. Those crab cakes and the sauce they use for the crab fries is the best I have ever tasted. The prices are reasonable. I don’t know if he was the owner but he came out and played a table game with my son. I will be in there again. Thanks for the experience.Kid-friendliness: Great table game and friendly wholesome atmosphere.“
“I got takeout from The Big Board this evening. I was only in there for a minute and a half, but the guy behind the bar—whose name I failed to get—was strikingly kind.And to top it all of these are hands down the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. No bad news.“
“Delicious casual eats with a nice menu that everyone will be able to find something they want to try. It does get crowded on the weekend so use the Open table app to easily book a table. Make sure to try the Italian soda we did the blueberry / vanilla sans alcohol and it is the most delicious thing!“
“A nice place for a char broiled burger. The portobello add-on was great. Lettuce and tomato were fresh. Cheese options are constrained to American and White American... Nothing gourmet, thin patties...they get the burger job done and are tasty.“
“I always order through the mobile app occasionally through drive thru. Food os always hot and fresh no complaints never had a hard Nugget! I love soggy fries unlike most people but they majority come out crispy. They never forget my sauce either which is pleasant considering the traffic that comes through here. This place gets extremely packed during breakfast and lunch but if you order ahead what I suggest they get the job done is better than waiting longer in line.Parking: Tight spaces very trafficked becarful when front parking! Backing up into traffic is worry some“
