“We are vacationing in Luquillo, Puerto Rico and went to Capital Burger 🍔 twice for dinner. The environment is nice and the staff is friendly and helpful. The chicken wings and the burgers are delicious! You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent choice if you like veggie burgers too. As a baby boomer who is trying to eat as healthy as I can in this season of life it was great having the impossible burger option. Not only was it good, it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend and will be back again. Oh yes, veggie I forget, if you are a military veteran, you get 50% off discount. Wow! What a deal! Thank you Michael Angelo for your vision and belief in the American Dream. You rock.

“Genuinely super delicious and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients!! Definitely will be coming back. Such a simple menu, but it’s working in their favor! The space is on the smaller side but they have an adorable outdoor seating. I also love how kid-friendly the place was , including allowing kids to draw to decorate the space! Staff were also super friendly and it just feel a like a great local spot, that I hope is here for as long as possible.“

“Found this place while watching Peaks100 wife. She did not disappoint! This popular hole in the wall joint was pressure. My son and I ordered our food to go since the place was crowded but we ended up eating the food in the car because it smelled so good. We both ordered the OKC burger with the combo. At first I was complaining about the extra $5 for the combo given that you receive a can soda. But once my food was ready I stopped immediately. They give you so many freshly cut fries it’s worth the extra $5 for sure. The burger was fresh, seasoned well and the sauce was everything! We woke up the next day thinking we should drive back which was around 45 minutes from where we live. I would definitely return. Sorry no pictures this review. We ate in the car so I didn’t have any free hands to take a pic. You should definitely try this though. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“yes I recommend plnt Burger“

“All I can say is the only thing better than the outstanding food is the incredible customer service. The next time we are on DC, I will go out if my way to visit one of the locations.“

“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.“

“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!! 😃🤤“

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

“Always busy, but seriously the best burger in town (if not the world), so it's worth the wait. I grew up on Good Stuff burgers and shakes. The Prez Obama burger (I think now known as the Prez Burger) with house fries (rosemary and all things delicious) with a toasted marshmallow shake (or cherry blossom if it's in season) is to DIE for. Also Spike's Sunnyside burger is delicious. Highly highly recommend for tourists looking for a dope local find.“

“Really loved the quickness of the staff in getting the meals ready. And also very attentive to orders

Parking: So many spots. A whole family can drive down to enjoy a meal

Kid-friendliness: Staff very friendly towards kids and makes them feel at home“

“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.“

“Our server Devin was AMAZING AND TRULY A GEM! Stuart the manager was also AMAZING AND SO INVITING. I watched everyone around me and every employee including managers were helping each other. I’ve been around the world and ate at a lot of Hard Rocks while in the Navy from Bahrain, to Singapore to Hawaii, Foxwoods Connecticut,Las Vegas, and even more and this was an AMAZING EXPERINCE! This is one of the BEST Hard Rock Cafes if not the best!“

“The ghost burger and crinkle fries are phenomenal! Highly recommend.“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“I walked by several times and saw a sign inviting me to try PLNT Burger for free. So, I ordered the DBL PLNT Cheeseburger to give it a try. After tasting it, I have to say I was really impressed with the flavor— perfectly done! The sauce gave it a nice smoothness. I paired it with ginger sparkling water, making me feel like I was helping the planet by saving natural resources with this one meal. Thank you, PLNT Burger!“

“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.“

“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😊.“

“The food was delicious.“

“With new ownership in place, I did not know what to expect. For a ward 8 resident and DC native, we take Sunday morning breakfast serious, and nobody wants to travel to PG, VA or cross the bridge for family breakfast. I have been to that IHOP at least 100 times, so I have seen the good and the bad times. I will say this, there is a noticeable difference in the customer care experience. From the attention to detail of the employees, the cleanliness of the restaurant (especially the bathroom), and the friendly staff, I was wholly impressed. I felt safe and ready to spend my hard earned money. I even tipped the waitress 50% because she deserved it. Hopefully the word gets out that it is a good thing to go to the Alabama Ave IHOP and the new owners keep this level of care for us the customers.“

“The fries were super crispy, the sauce was acidic and creamy and the burger was really flavorful! I wish there was one closer to me but happy I got the chance to go today😄I will be back when I’m back in D.C. (This one is in the Whole Foods. It’s a bit awkward standing and waiting for your food but you could go and shop after you order if you wanted!)“

“The pizza is Amazing and the staff is very friendly The pizza was fresh and flavorful. While the atmosphere is inviting there is an inside dining area as well as outside. I definitely recommend stopping by.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant!!

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s wheelchair accessible.“

“So for my birthday we stayed at the National Harbor August 14th through the 17th.
What is something to do so we caught the ferry over to Alexandria Virginia. When we got off the ferry when on King Street saw all these restaurants and we pick Emmy square Pizza.
I chose the pizza half pepperoni half sausage and my girlfriend had some type of deluxe pizza. Both were good and also we sat outside and there was a guy playing the saxophone.
Now I have to go to the location that's in Philadelphia where I live.“

“Drinks: The (definition of) neighborhood bar. See you there. Cocktails are great, supposedly... But so is beer and whiskey.

Food: The burgers are something else. Big and messy with arugula. Yes please. House chips are the best munchy one could ask for.

If you don't go to qht... They'll be fine... Will you though? No. You won't.“

“I ordered online and added the side and drink for $5 they gave me a can soda. It was suppose to be a fountain drink. I have can sodas at home. Without no explanation that’s what they handed over and in that moment I decided I wasn’t spending extra money on a milkshake here I’ll go get a frosty from Wendy’s. Lol.“

“Unbelievable experience at what initially looks like a carryout restaurant. When we walked in we knew we were gonna take our carryout order and sit in. The menu has a lot of variety. The food came out fresh and made to order, but it did not take a long time. I looked at the reviews and saw that the Gyro over rice looked really good, it tasted even better!!

The owner was very relatable, and very hospitable. Though you order at the counter, they bring the food to you like at a sit down restaurant! It felt almost like I was eating at a family-friend’s or my uncle’s house!

I already know what I’m going to order when I come back from my second trip! Keep up the amazing job !!

We ended up sitting for another seven minutes, waiting for the check, but we forgot we already paid, just to tell you the type of experience we got !!!“

“Great food and service. Family enjoyed very much. We will come again.“

“If you're craving bold flavors, crispy fries, and burgers that pack a punch, Checkers is the spot! Every visit feels like a win, especially when you're handed a hot, juicy burger and a box of their perfectly seasoned fries—honestly, some of the best in the fast-food game.

The Big Buford is my go-to: loaded with flavor, stacked high, and always fresh. The fry-seasoned chicken tenders are another underrated gem. And don’t sleep on the milkshakes—thick, creamy, and exactly what you want to finish off the meal.

Service has always been quick and friendly, even during busy times. The drive-thru is efficient, and the food is consistently hot and made to order. I appreciate how Checkers stays true to what it does best: bold, no-nonsense fast food that never disappoints.

If you're hungry and want something fast, flavorful, and filling—Checkers delivers every time. Five stars, easily!“

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

“Nice place! Good service good food. Nice riverdale park location“

“This is probably the best run airport restaurant/quick food option I’ve seen at an airport in years. They are friendly, efficient, and you can tell they actually care about the quality and presentation of the food they serve. The manager is doing an excellent job!!!!“

“One of the best restaurants I've been to in my 34 years of life. Visited January 2017 and still remember my experience. The food was very delicious and generously portioned. My personal favorite dishes were the nachos and crab cakes. I remember that the service was excellent. We were seated in minutes, and it was still very busy. All and all I highly recommend this restaurant and I cannot wait to go back for all their great dishes/service“

“Very welcoming from the time we walked in the door. Had the Bison filet and it was perfect. The entire staff was on point with everything. Great for a date night or to bring the family out for dinner! Can’t wait to come again“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

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

“Great food and very clean place“

“My first time at this Bubbie’s location. I was a big fan when they were in DC. The food is the best! I recommend ordering ahead on your phone because my experience was very slow. Like, delivery drivers waiting around, people warning their friends not to order there slow. It took my order 25-30 minutes to be ready. If you order when you arrive, you order on a screen anyway. And they only have one device for ordering, so you could potentially wait while someone else is using it. So again, just order on your phone ahead of time! It’ll be ready when you arrive. All seating is outdoor. It’s a very nice space, but of course something to keep in mind if the weather is bad. We parked in the parking garage across the street. It was free on the weekends.“

“We had an amazing experience at Lucky Buns! The burgers were absolutely fantastic — juicy, flavorful, and best of all, halal. It’s honestly rare to find halal burgers in the U.S. that are this delicious — most are bland, but Lucky Buns really nailed it.

A special shoutout to Will, our waiter, who was incredibly polite and helpful. His kindness made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality halal food with great service!“

“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!“

“Our family ate lunch here on a recent trip to the area. We all agreed the burgers were absolutely delicious!! Some of the best we've had. The atmosphere of the restaurant was really neat too, but we did eat outside since it was a beautiful day.“

“Best burger ever and the fries the best.“

“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.“

“z burger is so awesome !!!!!“
