    This is a hip and trendy spot. I placed my order online, directly from their website. This place specializes in, yep, you guessed it, burgers. They also have wings, salads, and Mac and Cheese. There is also a co-located pizza restaurant that serves some unique pies. But anyway, I got the idiot burger with a side of fries. My order was ready when I got there. There was a ton of food, and it was really good. I must say, it was reasonably priced too. The fries were good, but they did not really travel well, as most fries do not. I still really enjoyed my meal and highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

    These burgers were way better than I expected. The fries were amazing too. The prices were pretty fair because the burgers come with fries. My biggest complaint is the basketball arcade game in the back. It was so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk. It was a steady banging the whole time that we dined. The place was pretty empty so I do not know why they would put us right next to that loud mess. The waiter messed up my husbands order and did not come around much so we never got to tell him.

    The food came quickly and this is definitely one of my top 3 favorite burgers of all time. I ordered the Idiot Burger abd git an over easy egg on top. The short ribs were not dry and added a sweetness to the overall burger. Our server was quick and extremely attentive and provided refills without any one of my group asking. There are video games, a photo booth and a pool table that is all for free. Seems to be one of the best places to bring kids or full adults as well. This is a very laid back atmosphere. Would highly recommend as food, service and atmosphere hit every mark this is why this place deserves a 5 star!

    Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. Ordered the backyard burger and a side of mac and cheese. We started with the Caesar salad which was served in large romaine hearts - stupid. But taste was good. The burger was very good, good flavors and I asked for extra OGR sauce which was more like a non-kick buffalo sauce. Mac and cheese was very rich. Our waiter in the basement - tall guy with a soft voice - was very nice and comped our shakes due to the wait time. Weird thing he said they do is make burgers in batches and whoever is up to get burgers takes and serves their tables. Kind of like playing a draw straws. I had a sticky toffee shake to finish. It was - good. Overall good - friendly service.

    Service: Good but misleading. You can come here for the Street Burger and Street Pizza. It is all one establishment and you can order off of both menus. We we not informed of this until later in the selection of our meals. Food: Espresso Martini - Standard. If you are looking for a classic drink, this one hit the spot with the caffeine kick. Pizzas are Neapolitan Style. White Truffle Pizza - Greasy and heavy. It was kind of expected with they type of topping but I wasn't prepared for the full flop of everything falling off the slice, so it turned into a fork and knife kind of pie. The flavor was had a nice truffle flavor and the mushrooms gave it a nice earthy texture. Sausage Pizza - Good. It was a simple margarita style pie with added sausage. I don't think that the distribution of toppings was worth the price of the pie. The tomato sauce was sightly sweet which complimented the salty sausage. On to my next adventure...

    I was in DC for the weekend and wanted to try out new restaurants and I found this place for a quick lunch while walking around town. I only found out this is a new place after reading other reviews that it only opened a month ago. Anyway this place have both pizza and burger but when you are seated they will want to know what you are planning to eat, however I have see other people eating both burger and pizza just fine. We were seated on the main floor so I can't tell you what the lower level was like, but the lower level was supposedly for burger and main for pizza We only waited about 5-7 min for a server to come over to take our order, we ordered drinks, wings, and a few burgers that come with fries. It took about 8min for the wings to come out. The wings were fresh, I did get the sauce on the size, I got bbq and sweet chili kimchi, the sweet chili kimchi sauce is amazing. We ordered Idiot, Mushroom, and next level smash burger. It took about 15min or so to come out. The all the burger looks very fresh, tender and juicy, and the fries are fresh and with good amount of salt. My idiot burger comes with beef rib in it, there were 2 piece, one was fine but the other one was just fat and chewy, however that did not stop me from eating the rest of the burger because the double patties were fresh and juicy, just the right amount of meat on it. It also have these little crispy onion on them, I did not have cheese on it. My wife and daughter had the mushroom and next level burger and they said it was delicious. After we finished the burger, another server came over and ask if we wanted the waffle because they had an extra and it was on the house and we said ok, so this was a very nice bonus. We were already very full, this was an excellent service. Inside the restaurant it is clean, bright, and have many space and seat. The price for the food is reasonable, I have no idea what the other people are complaining about that the price is high and the food is no good, if you want to eat cheap burger then go to McDonald, this place have the Gordon Ramsey name on it and you would expect to pay a little more. Don't come and complain if you can't afford it. I would recommend this place for a quick lunch, next time I might try to pizza and they looked pretty good from what I seem.

    Burgers were decent. Lots of fun ones to try, I got the hells kitchen one and the chutney was fabulous, loved the slight spicy kick. The patty itself is bland and needs more seasoning but the toppings are fantastic, all my friends enjoyed theirs. Fries are thick and good. I don't remember which wing sauce but it was like a creamy buffalo derivative, nice. Spacious and vibes are good. Service is bad, not rude but they just don't do anything, like never refilling our water :(. Was convenient paying online ourselves ... especially since waiters never come around lol.

    BLUF: Stuffy, stinky, greasy basement venue with underwhelming grease-saturated burgers & fries. Over-charred meat was bland & dependent on the other goop on the burger to give it flavor. Service was effective but didn't feel genuinely welcoming or friendly. Price tag for burger & fries not worth what we got. Surprisingly small portions. We absolutely LOVE burgers. So, we were excited to try Street Burger and curious to see whether the food lived up to the quality of food that seems to be expected on all of his shows. Did it, you ask? A solid, NOPE. Idiot burger = Must have gotten its name because the person ordering it believes there's a short rib in this thing. Couldn't see it. Couldn't taste it. The burger meat itself wasn't very flavorful. Was that because its quality wasn't as what you'd expect a Gordon Ramsay restaurant to have or was it just not prepared well? When the burger & sweet potato fries first got to our table, both the bun and the fries were cold & meat was lukewarm. The stuff on the burger added nothing to the taste experience. Hell's Kitchen burger: The meat on this one was way overcharred & I could only taste the siracha in the cold aioli on the lukewarm burger meat. The caramelized onions were indistinguishable from the meat. Kinda just a blackened grainy heap. The fries: We ordered the regular fries & sweet potato fries. The regular fries were ok. Nothing appealing visually alongside the burger and only slightly more crispy & warm than the cold sweet potato fries that arrived alongside my burger. All super greasy, especially the sweet potato fries which looked like they were pre-cooked & dropped into old oil. Took them home to reheat & saw that the oil coated the take out container and the pot when reheated. Worth the drive? Not so much. If you're curious, go for it. But if you really want a great experience, burgers, and fries, I'd say go somewhere else. Sadly, I would have easily preferred a Habit or Red Robin burger & fries over these. Unimpressed by this restaurant bearing Gordon Ramsay's name, and I did not appreciate smelling like greasy fried food everywhere I went afterwards. Seems like Gordon needs to do one of those restaurant makeovers on his own restaurant.

    Mushroom burger: Double smash patties, sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, cheddar cheese, garlic aioli.

    Came here in a large group on a Thursday night. We were seated quickly and given the menus. The server was friendly but it took a bit of time to get water and place our orders. Ordered the mushroom burger that came with fries. I thought the burger was flavorful, if a bit messy to eat with the toppings and sauce. Good amount of food for $17.

    Granted, I visited only a week after this place opened, so take this with a grain of salt. First, the burgers were fantastic. The food was spectacular, and the price was fantastic. The service, however, is where the experience didn't live up to expectations. First, there is a Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza place on the main floor, and the burger joint on the lower level. When I arrived, I asked if some members of my party can order a pizza, and we were told they keep the restaurants separate. However, I watched multiple burgers being brought upstairs to the pizza restaurant diners. I suppose being a pizza order downstairs was too much to ask. Once we were sat at our table, it took 15 minutes to see our waiter, and even then, it was the floor manager who said he was going to help out and take our drink order. He had to come back and take our food order too. Our food was delivered by a different server. Bottom line is, if we had a server, we never meet him or her. The result of the poor service is it took 20 minutes after we sat down to get drinks and 45 minutes for us to get food. Once the food arrived, it was great. I just wish I could have also gotten a pizza or two, but they "like to keep the restaurants separate," even though burgers were CLEARLY going to the pizza restaurant. The service was terrible and slow, but as mentioned earlier, this was 7 days after they opened. Hopefully things improve, but if you don't want to wait 45 minutes for a smash burger that takes 5 minutes to cook, you may want to wait for them to work out the kinks.

    Idiot burger and fries

    I really expected more from my visit. And was surprised to see the three star review on a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. After dining, I totally understand unfortunately. First of all the food was amazing! I got the idiot burger and fries and have zero complaints with either. I also had a soda which tasted funny, which likely means they are not cleaning their icemaker. It's really unfortunate that there was absolutely no service to speak of at this restaurant. It was over 10 minutes before I got up and asked for a drink and server, but this was done after asking the table next to me if there were any servers around and they told me that they had to go to the bar because they couldn't find a server either. ultimately, I placed an order with someone and the food came out about 10 to 15 minutes later. But at no point did either of the two identified servers ever stop by my table. I sat there with two empty cups (water and soda). I waited for another 15 minutes after being done and Steele nobody had shown up to my table. This has been nearly 45 minutes now. I went to the restroom to wash my hands after eating the amazing messy burger, and when I came out, sat backwards in my chair to try to draw attention to myself at which point somebody that I thought was a manager addressed me I made the comment about not having any service to this person and was astonished that they told me to go talk to the manager who I actually thought was my server. The funny part is he didn't even care that I had mentioned not having any service whatsoever. Unfortunately, the manager could not be found either.

From start to finish, I have absolutely no negative feedback at all. 1. The Food Everything we ordered was completely divine! Here's the rundown: -Sandwiches: My husband got a Bogan Bun. My son a Mumbo Bun chicken sandwich and listen, he didn't speak a single word the entire meal because he was enjoying it so much! I ordered the Lucky Bun made with an Impossible patty. It was everything! Best I've had at a restaurant! In fact, my son, who loves beef burgers and claims he doesn't like plant based meat, ended up eating the rest of my burger! He tore that plant based meat DOWN! -Thick cut chips & Queso: The waiter let us know that their portion of fries (chips) could easily feed 3 to 4 people. He was not lying at all. The three of us shared one basket. I don't know if the sandwiches or the fries stole the show. These fries were seasoned to absolute perfection!!! SERIOUSLY! Not the typical sprinkle on top, but seasoned on every single side like someone picked up each fry and hand sprinkled each fry. Think I'm fibbing look at my pic. We ordered a side of queso for dipping and it was so good I wish I had some right now. If you're reading, hear me out Lucky Bun....add tortilla chips and queso to the menu please!!!! I would buy it just to scoop up that delicious cheese. -The Garlic Aioli: why am I highlighting a condiment???? Because!! lol!! It wasn't just standard mayo mixed with garlic powder. You could tell someone actually finely minced fresh garlic and herbs into it. It was so good I couldn't decide whether to dip my fries in the aioli or the queso! So that's why it's in my review! 2. Service The service was exceptional. There was no wait time at all. We walked straight in and were seated immediately. The food came out extremely fast which surprised us since we all ordered completely different proteins. They were speedy but all of our food arrived perfectly warm. The host, a slim gentleman, and our waitress, a lovely young lady rockin locs, were both incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. I'm telling you good service makes the food even better! 3. Restaurant Look and Seating The inside of the restaurant is fairly small, but they maximized the space with multiple tables and a full service bar. They also have outdoor dining and a front waiting area with outdoor furniture, which would be perfect for a nice summer day. You don't even have to ask me because you already know the answer. YES!!! The next time I am in DC, I will specifically make time to go there. Even if I'm not staying in the immediate area, I would gladly take an Uber just to eat here again and so will my family! Make sure you get there too!

Server came by, not so much as a greeting or introduction, just a short, "do you know what you want?" Fine - no problem. We ordered two avocado toasts and side of fries to share. Now, the menu clearly says the avocado toasts are served with a "runny egg". Ok sure, no problem. What i did not anticipate was a half raw egg with the yolk swimming in a sea of translucent completely uncooked "whites". It was like a golden disc encased in a snot rocket. Ok, maybe that's their "runny". Slide it off the toast and press on - snail trail of mucus be damned. The avocado spread was great - bright, citrusy, and well seasoned. The "hot sauce" was likely from a bottle and could have been left off. The radishes would have benefitted from being tossed in lemon, salt and pepper.

The server comes by gives me the clunky machine, I tap and put it down, he reaches for it and I say, it's processing, I still have to sign...and then he starts snapping his fingers...WHAT IN THE ACTUAL €¥($ ARE WE DOING RIGHT NOW?!? Never again. Never, again.

    Stopped in at Duke's before heading in to the zoo. I was really excited after reading a lot of good…read morethings about their burger. It was an overall ok experience. The service when we went left a lot to be desired. It was busy for sure being a weekend but not overwhelming. There were empty tables inside. Even still, it took forever to get acknowledged at times just to take our order. If we hadn't asked someone walking by for the bill, we still may be there. We had an app of fries and then my main was the burger with fries. The fries were great. They are those style of pub fries that are crispy and delicious. The garlic aioli dip was a great pairing for them. The burger was fine. It wasn't anything out of this world but it was still good. All the toppings blended well with the burger. I felt it could have used some more flavor. Duke's is in an unbeatable spot being right across from the entrance to the zoo. If you are looking for a bite right there, it's a good option.

    Ok I know everyone raves about the burger here (and for good reason--it's worth the hype!!) but the…read morething that stood out the most to me was the collard greens. Being from the south, I'm very particular about my greens and these were soooo good. The potlikker was so so so good and that made all the difference. The Mac and cheese was also good but not your traditional Mac, so be warned.

    Holy cow. Ethiopian fusion?? Soul food? Burgers? Fried chicken?! I met up with a friend at a new…read morespeakeasy in town and was hungry after. On my way home I decided to stop around U St / Shaw to see if anything interesting was around. Looking up what was new in town brought me in to this place. I was immediately intrigued, and realized I had just an hour left before they closed. So I made my way over and was able to settle at the bar. The bartender was friendly and professional, and I saw a party next to me chatting with another staff member that was dressed differently -- I'm guessing that was the owner! I looked over their menu and was having so much trouble deciding what to have. After so much going back and forth, I decided to do the doro wat chicken tenders and the spiced mac and cheese. What. A. Treat. And why did I get the highest spice level for the chicken? I was feeling it the next day LOL. The Mac and cheese also had a nice kick, and it was creamy with bread crumbs. Some folks next to me got tacos, which were smaller than I expected, but I know they were so good. There are burgers, tacos, and much more to explore next time, and I can't wait! Oh, their drinks definitely include Ethiopian spices.. how creative! And they taste great. Definitely returning.

    This is exactly how smash burgers should be done!! Fresh, hot, and incredibly juicy! Jon's Joint…read moremakes everything fresh to order. It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!
