42 Best Burger Restaurants in Arlington

“This burger is phenomenal it doesn't look the best visually but the flavor and textures within the burger was immaculate the mango shake is good as well but the burger blew me away I had the juicy Lucy. The restaurant has great chill vibes and the place is super clean for what it is“

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

“We loved the hot dogs, turkey burgers, and sweet potato fries, but also had regular fries and burgers too. My husband gave the hotdogs a five star rating!“

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

“Epic SmokeHouse – Arlington, VA Overall Rating: 8/10 Parking lot upgrades at the Pentagon brought G-FORCE to Arlington, but we didn’t expect to stumble upon BBQ royalty just a mile down the road at Epic SmokeHouse. Let’s just say… the name fits. We kicked things off with the App Sampler—and every bite hit like a flavor freight train. Smoked wings so tender they felt like they’d just left the hog pen—crispy skin, juicy interior, absolute perfection. Burnt ends? Melt-in-your-mouth with just enough sauce to whisper "I’m fancy" without screaming it. And the Kalua Pig Rolls… I still don’t know what’s in them, but I want to shake the chef’s hand (or hug him). Then came the showstopper: Brisket Poutine. Hand-cut fries crisped to golden excellence, smothered in rich brown butter gravy, melty cheese curds, and that sweet smoky brisket—topped with green onions and sesame seeds for that crunch-and-pop finale. This dish is dangerous… the kind of comfort food that makes you forget what day it is. The House Secret Burnt Mac rolled in hot in a mini skillet—smoky, cheesy, and just saucy enough to coat every bite without drowning it. Balanced, bold, and addicting. Don’t sleep on the Collard Greens either—just the right amount of flavor, a lil’ bit of spice but not too bold. A solid side that holds its own. Final Verdict: If you’re in Arlington for business, BBQ, or just breathing—get to Epic SmokeHouse. And if you're lucky, G-FORCE might’ve just made the parking lot a little smoother on your way in. #PaintAndPlateCrew #SupportLocal #EpicEats #BBQNearThePentagon #HIREAVET #GFORCEApproved #8OutOf10 #WINWITHVSB #PAINTCORPS“

“For many years I’ve gone to Cowboy Cafe for dinner….nachos, burgers, tater tots, etc. everything on the menu is so good, every single time. However, for the first time I went there for breakfast. It was so good I had to review it. The pancake, the fruit plate, the chicken bacon hash!!! My gosh, everything was so delicious and wonderfully plated. I’m still happy from that meal. Thanks, Cowboy Cafe kitchen staff for always serving good food!“

“I visited this branch, and I was hoping it would be their very first location. However, the staff told me that the original location had been demolished, and that this branch is considered their first.
Overall, I really enjoyed the meal.

Thank you, Five Guys, for this delicious food.

And thank you to all the staff at Five Guys for making such a tasty meal for us“

“Have done delivery and take out from here before and it never disappoints. Burgers are great and today went post workout and ordered to go while waiting. It was happy hour so got $2 off my drink and the woman at the bar was so patient with me and let me try several of their options before I finally decided on something delicious to drink.

Parking: Free garage parking 2 blocks away and paid 2 hr street parking“

“I love the cat theme pictures and menu they have here. It really makes the resturant a fun place to visit. I had the French toast, which was very tasty. The staff were all friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy their time in the resturant. Ill most definitely come back.“

“Great Food!!!!! Thank you!“

“Great hamburger. Very friendly service and everything was cooked to order“

“This is a really cool spot. The inside is nicely decorated, with lots of dog pictures!! They have lots of options. You can get the hot dogs as beef, veggie, or chicken. I got the Buffalo (blue cheese crumbles, chopped celery, sriracha, and ranch) and House (onion relish, mustard, mayo, celery salt) I really enjoyed both, especially the House Dog!! This is a Black owned, gourmet hot dog spot! Very cool!“

“I recently stopped by District Pizza Palace for some halal eats and left really satisfied. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a slice or sitting down for a relaxed meal with friends.

The food is honestly the star here. Their handmade, create-your-own pizzas are delicious, with fresh toppings and a one-of-a-kind taste that sets them apart from your usual pizza spots. Everything came out hot and exactly how I wanted it.

Customer service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was polite, helpful, and made the experience even better. The place was also very clean, which I always appreciate. As a Muslim, I love having a halal pizza spot like this that delivers both on quality and service.

Overall, District Pizza Palace definitely does not disappoint. I’d highly recommend giving them a try - 10/10 experience.“

“Ballston Local is an amazing place to dine in, or order out. Everything in the menu was delicious and the brunch was far better than expected. Loved it every single time“

“Wow, I'm SO excited to have a great sandwich shop in Ballston!!!! The sandwiches are so freaking good, and I'm usually not big on fries or home-made chips, but I finished it all, they're both so delicious. The bread is so good too, and everything is reasonably priced. This is going to be my go-to sandwich place in the area. I can't wait to try their cocktails next!“

“Great food, but a bit odd that they chose to do QR code menus in a building with no reception. Wifi is available, but still.

Service was great, made us feel comfortable.

Based on the crowd and decor, looks like it might be a popular lunch spot for cops. Something to keep in mind if that bothers you.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available“

“Fresh ingredients, great customer service.“

“Great food. Very friendly staff“

“5 stars for 5 reasons

1. Double cheese burger super juicy, flavorful and tasty! Onions, mayo, lettuce and tomato with the cheese simply makes the burger that much better.

2. Fries were super fresh and crispy!

3. Price is ok both items about 20 dollars flat.

4. Good size portion burger and fries

5. Food came out fairly quick!“

“I got the Hidden Cove for breakfast and it was so good! The staff were all so nice and worked very fast. I placed my order online and it was done 5 minutes later even though the website said 15 minutes. I also got a matcha with almond milk and honey but it tasted somewhat peanut buttery for some reason so I wouldn’t recommend getting almond milk, but the matcha was still good enough. $22 for a bagel and coffee is a lot in my opinion, but I would get the bagel again“

“This was a solid airport burger and fries at a decent price. I ordered the mushroom Swiss ahead of time and received an alert that it was ready in less than 5 minutes. The staff was extremely polite and courteous. The fries were piping hot, and although you need to add your own salt, it is provided. Overall, I was very satisfied.“

“The burgers were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, something is hard to find elsewhere. The fries came in a generous portion!!! a small portion is enough to feed three people. Frank was very welcoming and efficient at answering, and explaining the menu.The restaurant has an old school vibe, but with the modern music I think it brings a nice touch to the atmosphere overall.“

“Excellent food very delicious burgers and their elevation sauce its very yummy. Their milkshakes are awesome. The atmosphere is great and its very clean. The guy at the cash register is very knowledgeable and patient. So a shoutout to the staff who made the experience even better. Highly recommend this burger joint you wont regret it.“

“Fresh hot and made to order burgers! Tasty every time!!!“

“This was a very satisfying burger. The Lucky Bun burger had Gouda, arugula, and charred red onions. Very hearty. Complex flavors. And i love the malt vinegar mayonnaise that comes with the fries.

You're also in the environs of Union Market, which is fun.“

“Si pero hay vamos en Burger King“

“Fluffy pancakes, crispy hash browns, and endless coffee — what's not to love? The service is fast and friendly, and the menu has something for everyone, any time of day. Whether you're a pancake purist or an omelet fan, IHOP delivers every time.“

“Pretty convenient quiet and nasty vafe at the steps of the VA Sq metro station. I stopped by on a whim looking for a croissant and ended up getting a whole breakfast sandwich (at lunch time) and a oatmeal raisin cookie. They also had coffee, tea, some general items needed in your cupboard and wine!

The service was fast and the food was tasty.

A neighborhood gem for sure.“

“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!“

“exelente .................“

“Lina was my server today, And she was fantastic. The burger was great, and so were the fries.
I got a seat at the window overlooking the runways and could see the u s capital, so it was a beautiful spot to sit.
The table also had power running to it.So I could work on documents while I ate and waited for my flight.
Very convenient, and nice set up.“

“While I a very sympathetic to homelessness, literally you never ever know what to expect just using the restroom which are filthy most of the time. The food is fine but the smell in the place is like dinning inside a toilet stall due to the number of homeless guest.“

“I enjoyed my meal. The chili burger reminded me of an old diner style burger you used to be able to get in the 90s and prior. The chili in it had a little kick and was tasty. The fries were a little thick so lots of potato. I should have probably got them with chilli because they need a little something. Salt at least. Swing by and enjoy! The burger really took me back in time for a sec.“

“Love coming here with my friends“

“Kimberly and Jaime were simply great - service with a smile - and their lady manager - wow, she was efficient and on it!
Watching her work and get orders out and take care of issues quick and efficient - if I had a business in DC I would steal her and the girls. They made our local experience seem welcoming and paced for our tastes - the personal touch is so important and this team made it for us.
We're heading back to Omaha, but if we visit again, we'll visit this restaurant just for the people.“
