    Looking for a burger on Yelp near Van Dorn, Club Sandwich popped up with an eye-popping 4+ stars…read more So I gave these guys a try. I entered at high noon on a weekday and was surprised that there was only one other customer. All the other tables were empty. The aromatic scent of pho filled air. Did they also serve pho at Club Sandwich (I didn't check the menu) besides burgers and sandwiches? Or was the aroma from Pho 95 two doors down? I decided what I wanted to order, but there was a problem. There was nobody at the counter. I waited maybe four minutes to see if anybody from the back would come out to take my order. But nobody came out. I was hungry and didn't want to wait any longer, so I just left. Club Sandwich could at least have a bell on their counter to get somebody's attention if they aren't going to man the counter.

    I realized my love-hate relationship with The Club has spanned over 7 years and a change of…read moremanagement. Gave it 4 stars at first, then they shifted to this Nashville Hot Chicken style for wings for a one star, and recently revisited after checking out that their online menu brought back the traditional wing sauces. I surely missed out when that happened. Coming back, I declare that their wings are probably some of the better ones in the DMV. As the wifey said, crunchy on the outside, juicy inside. And their portions are big. We ordered 12, half plain and the other lemon pepper. The base wings is flavorful enough to savor. The problem lies in the menu. Looking at the screen as initial point of contact, you feel like you opened a box of jigsaw puzzle. The Club needs to organize and simplify their menu and classify according to wings, burgers, bowls and sides. That would solve the problem. Change the shocking blue background color and take out the pictures of the burgers which look very similar with one another to free up more space. Additionally, you feel like you're in a mini Cheesecake Factory with so many choices available. Simplify the menu! Also, let go of your separation anxiety with all this huge printed merchandising materials, some of which have been there from the start! Then there are standee signs that list other order options. They make the place look cheap and dated. Worse, they're confusing and an eyeful. One sign featured all the Korean chicken variants while another tucked away somewhere reveals you can get the lemon pepper and other interesting sauces and toppings. Put it this way, if the Restaurant Makeover show and Chef Gordon Ramsay came over, they would change 2 things: simplify the menu and add some pop to the interior. Get professional help on these please. Don't "wing" it and hoard on the huge menu boards like you were archiving old photographs. Have the owners noticed that more people are doing take-outs rather than dining in? A one day make over of fresh paint with vibrant new furniture (they have the same ones 7 years back) and simple menus with one or two picture boards would make this place rock and do justice to their awesome chicken wings (if only you knew that you can get more that 10 flavors to choose from)! Hopefully, The Club will merit my Yelp record of 4 reviews for a single restaurant culminating in one that showcases the true potential of this place.

Service was cool--laid-back but attentive enough to keep things flowing. I ordered the City Burger with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and whew... this was a good burger. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right so every bite felt intentional. The toppings were perfectly sautéed, adding that extra depth without overpowering the meat. The hand-cut fries deserve their own shout-out--crispy, golden, and delicious. You can always tell when fries are actually cut in-house, and these definitely passed the test. Fat Cat Kitchen is a great stop when you're craving a quality burger with no frills, just flavor. I'll be back to explore more of the menu!

    I'd come here a couple of years ago and was not greeted and kept standing at the hostess station…read morefor 6-7 minutes, so I just left. Today, we were greeted quickly and warmly and shown to a table. My Dad had a huge burger, which he said was good. My sister had the Gumbo- I tasted it and it was delicious! My Caribbean chicken and shrimp would've been delicious, but the chicken was way way too salty! The shrimp and beans and rice were both good. I'm so glad I ordered the sauce on the side because it ratcheted up the salt level to briny. Our server was adequate. The dining room is in a sort of weird U-shaped to me, but and spaced to serve. The friendly Manager stopped by our table to give my little niece a toy, and check on our experience. Our food hadn't come yet, so I didn't share that I didn't enjoy my meal. Even though I didn't enjoy the dish I had, I probably come back to try the burger.

The menu is not your typical hot dog stand as you can get burgers, cheesesteaks, and a variety of sides and other items. Depending on when you stop by, there could be a line and the food is made fresh, so the wait might be longer than expected. However, the food is really good. I plan to stop by again soon to try other menu items.

    Easily influenced by TikTok, I came across Marky's Munchery and realized this local spot was so…read moreclose to me that I had to try it. We ordered two burgers -- the classic smash burger (lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese) and the BBQ bacon burger (grilled onions, bacon, and BBQ sauce) -- along with their famous cheesesteak combo. The cheesesteak came loaded with lettuce, jalapeños, tomato, and steak infused with peppers and onions, topped with Marky's-style cheese, plus seasoned fries and a soda. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I can't recommend this place enough -- especially knowing they're part of our local community. I've walked past this gem so many times without realizing what I was missing! It's tucked away in the Home Depot parking lot on Little River Turnpike, so don't sleep on it. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the entire menu.

BOYO IMPOSSIBLE BURGER -18 Served On A Super Soft Brioche Bun With Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Ketchup, Mustard, Avocado, & Sautéed Onions. So Delicious I'm Honestly Shocked. Flavorful, Juicy, & Didn't Feel Like A "Veggie" Compromise At All. I'm Still Thinking About How Juicy, Delicious & Tasty This Burger Was!!! FRIES $4 Just Okay. Not Bad, Not Amazing. They Did The Job But Didn't Steal The Show. I Wish Fries Were Handcut, Maybe That Would've Made a Difference. FOUNTAIN DRINKS & LEMONADE $4 Organic Brand, Not Super Sweet, & Felt Like A Healthier Option Compared To Typical Fountain Drinks. I Actually Can Appreciate The Route They Took In Being Different & Providing Better Quality Drinks. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly, Attentive, & Overall Good Customer Service, Definitely A Plus. PRICING Not Cheap Burgers, But Honestly Worth The Price For The Quality & Portion Size. They Need a Rewards Program Unless I'm Unaware Of It. Nice, Colorful Space With A Bar And Plenty Of Seating. Great For Casual Dining Or A Quick Hangout. Street Parking Nearby, But It's Metered, You'll Need To Pay By The Minute/Hour. Overall Take: The Impossible Burger Is The Star. Great Vibes, Solid Service, & A Worth-It Stop In Shirlington.
