The Grand Opening for their first brick & mortar in Potomac Village Shopping Center was on May 24, 2026. I was looking forward to it and wanted to support. Parking is free in the lot and shared with other businesses in the plaza. When I arrived early, no one was there, but that did change later - a long line eventually formed. I guess I arrived at the right time before their 11am opening. There is seating inside - 4 tables and 4 high-top tables in addition to several stools. A combined total of 30 seats. Lots of cool decor on the walls - pictures, news articles, skateboard decks. There is merch available to buy - T-Shirts, Koozies, to name a few. The menu is on the wall above in which you can order their signature burgers - Single, Double, or Triple, water & sodas - like their pop-ups minus the extra bag of chips. The burgers are a smashed patty with American cheese, onions and pickles, on a Martin's sesame seeded bun and steeze sauce. What is new to their menu is the Carlie - a burger with no bun, Fries, a Coney Dog (all beef hot dog with chili & cheese), Grilled Cheese (2 inverted burger buns with cheese) and Beer. When you place your order, you have to listen out for your name once it is ready. I already had Brunch plans elsewhere that morning, so I only got the Grilled Cheese (loved it) and my friend got a Single burger and enjoyed it. I will be back to get a full meal next time. This new location is open Thursdays to Sundays only. Hours can be found on their website. It was great to see Hunter and Noah among others, and I am glad they plan to still do pop-ups in the future. Excellent service as always. read more

The new restaurant improves on the original pop-up, adding fries and other items the menu. The burgers were, in my opinion, better than the already excellent usual: the patties had noticeable char, which I appreciated. The fries were worthy of accompanying the best burgers in the area: crisp, tender, and traveled well on the way home. I don't normally wait in long lines for food, but Steeze is worth it. read more

I came to their pop up on April 11th and I was so excited I've been waiting over a year to try their burger and I finally have the opportunity and I'm so excited I ordered two doubles and they're truly just pushing them out. Quality is there by the looks of it they aren't rushing through the process and letting you know the time limit. 3 people on staff and they are movinggg. You have the option of a single double or triple burger. You can get a hot dog chips and a drink if you want. Customer service is consistent and great they seem very friendly upon approach that already tells you it'll be worth it. They plan on opening their brick and mortar this year so please take the time to visit them at their new location once open. The burger is thatttt double up on the Steeze sauce it's so worth it ! I will absolutely be back. My only thing is I wish there was a little more salt and pepper in the burger other than that PERFECT read more

Got an email that they were doing a popup at the Mosaic District in Fairfax, VA. Line wasn't too bad when I got there but got way worse shortly after. Grabbed a single and a double. Took about 15 minutes to get the burgers but it was well worth it. Definitely can see why they get a lot of 'best burger' praise. Seeded Martin's Potato Roll, 2 good sized smashed patties (on the double), with onions, pickles, and sauce. Delicious and it barely lasted 5 minutes. Would absolutely get their burgers again wherever they are! read more

Can't wait for the store to open after a couple years of loving their pop-ups. Their burgers always hit the spot!

I have been looking forward to a visit here for a while but never was around for their pop ups in my area. We were pretty early in the line and the ordering part didn't take too long if you come ready. We ordered for a large group (double burgers, single burgers) and do wish they would add some bacon at some point. Pricing for 6 burgers/doubles was around $60ish so it wasn't too bad. We did end up waiting around 30 minutes for the food itself, perhaps because of the bigger order. The way they write on the burger covers was confusing, I wasn't sure which had no sauce or sauce or pickles or not so we had to unwrap all of them. I did love the sesame bun but I will say, I was surprised that the meat itself felt a little tasteless, like it needed some more seasoning. It definitely lacked the crispness of a classic smash burger but I will say, the cheese and Steez sauce so bring the whole thing together (along with the great pickles). I think if they just season the meat a bit more and give it a more crispy vibe, it could easily be the best burger out there. They did slightly mess up our order, giving us a burger with no sauce on the side like requested and one double sesame top bun triple burger when we ordered a double but overall a solid spot if you get in the line early. read more

If you want what has been hailed the best smashburger in the DMV then heading up to wherever Steezeburger is parked is the way to go. Simply seasoned, no frou frou pattie smashed, and topped with cheese and onions and pickles and a tasty sauce. It really is delicious and hits the spot. And if you happen to have a pupper with you they can make you a pup pattie for a fraction of cost of a regular burger. My dogs certainly enjoyed it. Get the double smash if you're really hungry read more

Steeze Burger - Burgers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've been wanting to try these smash burgers for a LONG time and I finally got the chance to hitup one of their pop-ups and try Steeze! The second I pulled up, I smelled the beef grilling, and it brought me straight to Summer Cookout days~ Double Burger Coney Dog They're named the Washington Post's Number 1 Burger for a REASON, these may be the best burgers I've had in the DMV to date! The Double Burger smash patties are seared something proper, it's dressed with a rich melted cheese sauce that is just a bite of delight, and the tanginess from the mustard, pickles, and onion cut through that richness really well. Don't sleep on the Hot Dog, that was also a nice bite! The staff are super friendly and hospitable as well, vibes eating outside at BabyCat Brewery were really nice too~ read more

Amazing burgers! Staff were friendly and it was quick! My sister is a pescatarian and they made her a grilled cheese, she said it was good, but I don't recommend since it's straight on the flat top where all the burger juices. read more

These guys are extremely overrated. I left a comment how I was displeased with their food and they ended up blocking me on Instagram. Their burger isn't even that good...all hype and petty owner. read more

I don't get the hype around this spot at all. I got a double burger, and it was filling and the proportions are right, but the flavor just wasn't there. It tastes like an unseasoned patty, flavorless sauce, and not enough pickles to save it. For the quality, it's massively overpriced. $13 after tax with no fries, no chips, no drink is robbery for what you get. I wouldn't go again - it wasn't that it tasted bad, just that it was so bland and uninspiring. Really nice people and all, but this shouldn't be on a "top 500 burger spots in the DMV" list, let alone any top 10 lists. read more

About a 1-1.5: I'm sorry, but Steeze Burger is all hype. We were excited to finally check this 'smashburger-style' burger pop-up, so we decided to make the long trek. There was already a line and patrons who have been waiting; our quoted wait time was about 25+ min. We ordered: +the Single - 3 oz patty, topped with steamed onions, Steeze sauce, relish, pickles, and American cheese on a Martin's seeded roll +the Double - two 3 oz patties, topped with steamed onions, Steeze sauce, relish, pickles, and American cheese on a Martin's seeded roll The burger was not 'smashed', and there was no thinness nor the crispy edges that one looks for. The burger itself was slightly undercooked, and the toppings were a little cheap in the portions. Honestly, we were pretty disappointed, as there are much better burgers out there! Also, we noticed that the whole process was just super inefficient; there were carelessness in terms of dropping food items/ingredients due to too much jibber-jabbering, joking around, and having long conversations; it's like, you know there are people waiting for their food, so being a bit more considerate would be nice! No dice, Steeze - you ain't it. +NOT a smashburger +super inefficient +overpriced read more

Burgers are pretty good, but it's the lines I can't stand. Also, they are always in different locations.

Been looking for this place and hubby finally found it near us. Today they were right in front of Clear Skies Meadery, also near Doggie Zone, off Gude Drive in Derwood. It's literally a tiny pop up tent, two guys and a skillet. I had a double with no pickles, hubby had a regular double. Went at 6:15pm and there was no line, which was great. This location is literally three minutes from our house, which was good since there is no seating. It's a pick up and eat in your car or take home (if you live nearby) kinda place. Paid $26 for two doubles, not really cheap but the burgers were very good. I wish they served fries too! Would eat here again! read more

When someone told me that this was the best burger in the DMV as rated by such and such I got a bit defensive - "Uhhh... have you ever heard of Sunshine Burger" and when that person replied "Oh.. no, I never heard of Sunshine Burger" I immediately felt validated. But this wasn't some arbitrary title given by a passerby, this was Tim Carman and the team at the Washington Post that awarded this honor. So, what did I think of it. I mean... I'm assuming that you can clearly see my 5 stars above the article. If not, take your left thumb on your iphone and remove it from the screen, there you will see 5 red stars. The burger is unadulterated burger bliss. The meat is local, and the freshness is forefront. There are no extravagant toppings or showy aiolis. It is lightly seasoned meat that is cooked quite perfectly on a flattop. The pickles and burger sauce are compliments and not coverups. The bun is engulfed with enough sesame seeds so that the flavor is apparent. It almost tastes as if a michelin chef was told to make their version of a Mcdonald's hamburger without it being obvious that they were a michelin chef. If you're a lover of a thinner pattied burger, there's absolutely no reason you're gonna fault any part of the experience of eating that burger. In fact, it leaves no room for such. So where do I stand on Sunshine Vs. Steeze. Well, they're two completely different products. Sunshine's burger is a thicc boy that is topped with crisp lettuce, tomato and bacon - but the burger itself is still the star of the show owing to it's big girl vibes. Each has a different place in my heart and as a wise Yelper once told me: Your heart can be big enough for two burgers. read more

Super cheeseburgers from this pop-up stand! I tried Steeze Burger after the Washington Post crowned them as the best burger in the DMV and I've been a fan ever since. I usually get three doubles and two bags of chips when I go. I don't eat red meat very often, so I really want to make it count! I just love the way everything comes together in these burgers. Nothing fancy, just straight-forward carnivore goodness. The staff is always friendly and engaging. They truly seem to love what they're doing and their positivity rubs off on everyone who eats here. A few quick watchouts. Remember that this is a pop-up stand, so seating is pretty much hit-or-miss, depending on where they're setting up that week. I prefer to catch them at microbreweries, so I can snag one of their tables and wash my burgers down with a beer (or two). Also, this is a lean operation, they only have one grill, one cook and LOTS of customers. This means that they're not really built for large orders. Best to visit them with one or two buddies. I wouldn't come here after the swim meet and order burgers for 50 kids -- or even three kids for that matter. Speaking of kids, their shoestring operation does not accommodate special orders -- no pickle, no sauce, extra cheese, etc. That's the tradeoff to get such an exceptional product at a moderate price point. If your group is picky, you might be better served going to a more full-service burger provider-- Shake Shack, Five Guys, and the like. read more

Overrated. Didn't anybody notice he was using Kraft Cheese Slices? Cheese stuck to the roof of your mouth. A teaspoon of 'McDonald's' styled chopped up onions. 2 wimpy little pickles. A commercially made hamburger bun. read more

Rated the #1 Burger in the DMV! It's a fun hunt to drive to their popup locations across the DMV area. Often setup at local breweries their burgers are the perfect treat to pair with your cold beverage of choice. The staff are attentive and they whip up your burger on the grill at just the right amount of time when the cheese perfectly melts. A+ indeed. read more

Burgers are simple and delicious. Mason and Hunter are always super nice and even remember their regulars--or maybe they remember people like me who get "mad" at them when they run out of food to sell when they are outside True Respite. If you're slightly hungry, get a single. If you want to eat, get a double. If you're huungry, get a triple (or do what I do.... get a double for now, then get another double togo and re-remember it's for later and eat it anyway). read more

Pop-Up Located outside of Dispensary. First off, amazing idea. Second off, amazing burger. Just some friendly dudes grilling burgers and making people smile. I got the double stack and it was juicy and perfect on a nice spring day like today. The nice man taking orders even asked to have to burger cut in half for us because we my friend and I were sharing! read more

Great local burgers and voted the best in the DMV by the Washington Post! Worth the wait if there's a line.

This pop-up has become pretty popular all over my IG feed. The pictures definitely make you drool, especially when you're craving a juicy burger. Hunter seems to have gotten it just right! I saw that he was going to be at Two Story Chimney Ciderworks and told my husband we were going. When we got there, he said he was already about halfway through his burgers, so when I went back out there, maybe about 45 mins later, I was super lucky to have gotten the last 2 doubles. Super polite and great customer service. They didn't have GF buns, so I ordered without a bun and it was DELICIOUS!! The burgers are juicy and cooked to perfection. They have simple toppings, onion, pickles and cheese, and his special steezeburger sauce....nothing overboard, but just right! If you haven't tried Steezeburger, definitely check out his IG to find out where he'll be next. read more

Was excited to try this burger out as I heard it was voted best in the DMV not that long ago. Finally got to try them as they did a collab with one of my favorite local BBQ spots - Sloppy Mamas. I will say it is very very Instagramable. It is food porn 100%. It was good but can't say its the best burger I've ever had or even my favorite in the DMV. That honor goes to Duke's grocery/Lucky buns for me. I wouldn't drive an hour to MD for this but if I am nearby, for sure. read more

(4.5) ~ Very Good Overall Cheeseburger & recently voted #1 in DC (2023). My one wish is to be able to add Toppings like Sunny Egg; Avocado; Tomato; yellow mustard, etc. IF they did, I would give them a 5 out of 5;) Recently tried them at True Respite Brewery in Rockville, MD. And the Beef patties are 3 oz and mixed with Bone Marrow & onions;) MENU: ** Double = (4.75) Great Balance of Meat-to-Bun Ratio! This is the One to Get!:) ** Triple = (4.5) Very Good, but too much Meat vs. Bun ratio, even though the meat is the best part ** Single = (4.25) Very good, but too much Bun vs. meat ratio... read more

Steeze Burger - Pop-up at True Respite Brewing Company - Burgers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Once upon a time, the New York Times wrote an article in its cooking section about the Oklahoma style onion burger. I have been searching for something similar here in the DMV and I think I found it. The two guys smash fresh, not frozen beef on a hot outdoor gas grill, then add diced onions on top. Then it is topped with American cheese, and then you can add pickles and special sauce similar to the Big Mac sauce or thousand island dressing. According to instagram posts apparently this is a pop up stand that usually appears at block parties and other local events. Hopefully when Yelp resumes the big parties the community managers will consider inviting Steeze to be a vendor. Hopefully they will one day have a food truck and a stand alone brick and mortar shop! read more

Steeze Burger's recently voted as the best burger in DMV by Washington Post. They don't really have a set location as they move around a lot, so you can check their schedule on IG. Due to the hype, typical wait time's around 30 mins. Double ($11) - 2x 3 oz Patties, Onions, American Cheese, Pickle & Homemade Sauce. You should always get at least the double as the single don't have good meat to bun ratio. There's also the Triple for $14, which's my go-to. It's a good, simple burger overall. Meat's very enjoyable as the patties include bone marrows & then smashed with onion. The sauce blends well with the burger. I do disagree with it being as the best burger in DMV, but it's up there in the top 5. read more

Today we first drove to the Gaithersburg brewery to get the smash burger we'd seen on Signature Dish on PBS. We were crushed after going all that way. We then learned that Steeze Burger was in DC today at another brewery!! So we drove there only to learn from owner/chef, Hunter that they were sold out!!! We were so crushed again. But his friend told us he had an hour old "fresh" one in his car that we could have snd would not let us pay for it!!! Then Hunter gave me a golden plastic hamburger for a free hamburger next time we go to one of his pop up grills!! What a sweet heart! The burger was fabulous-- even cold. Thank You!!! read more

Our school booked Steeze Burger for our annual Back to School Night Picnic. They had us confirmed and even listed on their facebook page schedule. On the day of the event they didn't show! No notice at all. How disappointing to so many local families who were expecting to eat burgers. We advertised thoroughly, sending home flyers and emails. Infuriating to anyone planning an event that's attended by hundreds. read more

Drove out on a rainy day to get these burgers and they hit the spot. Got the double with everything and it was solid. Reminded me of the juiciest, tastiest, Big Mac I ever had sans the lettuce and sweetness but with more grilled onions and mustardy taste. Since I shared my burger with my wife (who didn't even want to eat it, but the smell and appearance changed her mind) I immediately went back and had another one so we could share it again. Should've just ordered two from the beginning ha. Glad I came out. read more

Joyce and I had Steeze at a mac and cheese event at True Respite. Our main goal was to try to eat as much free mac and cheese at this event as possible, but Steeze enticed us as we first walked by and then captured my heart (and nose) as soon as they started smashing the patties. We got two double patty burgers. They had some unique sodas and chips but I held off this time. The pickles, onions, and sauce along with the double cheeseburger patties were soo good! He had great customer service and even let me film him hard at work to post on IG. Will definitely grab some again next time we drop by True Respite. read more

Great fresh burgers made with high quality locally sourced beef. They were weekly regulars at True Respite Brewery in Rockville. Get the double - it's the perfect balance between beef and bun!

Had a burger at Babycat and it was just meh. Felt like $9 was kinda a waste for the tiny burger we got. Also, the owner was super rude and got upset at my boyfriend for asking if our order was ready.

Steezeburger is a great pop-up burger spot that has been making the rounds at some MoCo breweries (like Saints Row in Gaithersburg most Wednesday nights; check their IG for the weekly schedule). The burgers are their own best ad - they look and smell amazing. They're made with 3oz patties (choice of single, double, or triple), onions and cheese. I got a double because that's how I live and it looked and smelled amazing, served up on a big, puffy sesame seed bun. The beef is excellent, salty and rich, and the grilled onion and cheese bring extra deliciousness to the party. It's a great burger made by someone who clearly knows his stuff. Definitely worth checking out! read more
