Behrad Eats: One of the top burgers in DC here called, appropriately, the Proper Burger: two patties topped with Gouda, charred red onion, sweet chili sauce, dill pickles, rocket & garlic aioli on a brioche bun.
JASON VARNELL: The Proper Burger was very much a proper delight!!! Great!!!
John McCombs: Can’t recommend it enough! Got the Truffle Mac&Cheese, Proper Burger, and Caribbean Queen, and all were fantastic. Be sure to talk to a staff member to get in the waitlist for a table, or come early.

Josei ==> @ShoesNFood www.JetSetDC.com: The turkey burger with avocado is great. The thyme & Rosemary fries are a delight. The only thing I miss are hot peppers. I guess it's B.Y.O.P. lls
Shannon Curtin: Well worth the wait...amazing burgers and fries...make sure to try the dipping sauces. Spike was here when we came too, very cool
Eric Beard: The shakes and salads are tasty. I've had several burgers there and I have not been disappointed by any. I had the Obama burger and the one with a fried egg (forget the name), both are Delicious!

Jonathan Perez: They cook the burgers to perfection with great flavors, burger fans do not miss out!
The Aziz: One of the best in D.C. Their burger and sandwiches are amazing. Mushroom &Swiss burger is my favorite. From the start take the lobster & crabs cake or Truffle fries.
Mohammad Mahasin: Their Capital Burger and Swiss cheese and mushroom burger were delicious. But the real star was the sweet chili chicken wings, they’re a must try!

Epicurious: Ask for a table near the bustling, open kitchen, and watch the expert French chefs create your luscious lobster burger or hanger steak with the city's best frites.
Anita Sweeney: The best burger that I have ever had! The fried chicken was enough for 2. Both delicious!
Burger Days: One of the umpteenth burgers deemed the best of D.C., the dry-aged Central beef burger is the definition of fancy-ass. It comes served with confit tomato, a house-made mayo and several potato wafers. Read more.

Chris Combs: Delicious burgers, but skip the guac - it's more a thin avocado paste than a proper guacamole.
Behrad Eats: Gotta get the double bacon cheeseburger and don't forget the Z-sauce!
Luke Hill: The burgers, fries, and shakes are all great. Onion rings are a little doughy, but if you like that then they're fine

Greg G: The Brunchie Burger is the best cheeseburger I've ever had. The bun was delicious and not super filling. Best burger I've had in the DC/MD/VA area!
Will Trokey: Seriously, THE BEST BURGER in DC. Duke's Counter and its sister restaurant Duke's Groceries are absolute gems for casual but elevated English pub food. It's all so delish!!
Saeed: proper burger was really delicious 🤤 in medium rare cook but curry poutine was not my favorite too much cheese, I think home fries would be a better choice👌🏻👌🏻

Burger Days: Cool joint with a variety of burger options-- beef, of course, but also add wild boar, bison & elk to the mix. If you've got the loot, peep the Big Pimpin which features Kobe & foie gras for $23
