This is the best place to get burgers in DC hands down. It's nothing fancy, just good patties, simple sauce, some onions. It is absolute perfection. The fries are fresh and crispy on the inside with a fluffy inside. The chicken tenders are fresh chicken breast and such a flavorful crispy batter. The only downside was that the honey mustard was mostly honey and no real mustard. Got our food quickly and the inside was clean and had plenty of seating. Can't wait to come back! read more

This was my first time ever eating at Swizzler Crispy Chicken and Smash Burger, and honestly... I wasn't even supposed to get this order. I had ordered Wise Guys on Uber Eats, and this showed up instead and I am SO glad it did. Whoever originally ordered this got a bacon jalapeño burger and a spicy chicken deluxe. The jalapeño burger was a 10/10. I'm not even big on peppers, but it had the perfect amount of jalapeños, great flavor, and was just really well done. I passed that one to my friend, and I took the chicken sandwich. The spicy chicken deluxe was incredible. Perfectly crispy, great sauce, and I'm pretty sure it had bacon on it, which just took it over the top. Everything worked together so well, and I was honestly upset that I hadn't known about this place sooner. The fries were also really good, crispy and plentiful. They remind me of Five Guys fries, but honestly? This felt like a better version of Five Guys overall. I don't even know what the price was, but I can confidently say I would pay good money for both the smash burger and especially that chicken sandwich again. The best part? This place isn't even far from my house, so this is officially my new burger spot. Sorry to whoever lost their order,but thank you for putting me on. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great good burgers are good and the chicken was also good but the frys had way to much salt. Restaurant could be a bit cleaner though just saying. Price was a bit up there for burgers. But they do taste good. read more

Very solid burger meal option for 20 dollars. You can tell every thing is fresh and made in house. Def want to come back and try their spicy chicken nuggets as well. I came during the lunch rush and they got food out quickly and with good quality and care. My one comment and where they lose a star is the man behind the counter was just the worst. Obviously hates working here and was rude in every interaction he had that I saw. All other employees were nice so maybe they should consider retraining him for the grill instead of front of house. read more

TL;DR Swizzler is another Chicken & Burger spot with all the feels of a Shack Shack but better. If you're in the area it is the number option for a quick cheap bite instead of in Nationals Park. My wife and I planned and decided to go here before we hit the Breezy Bowl, and I'm glad we did. We knew going in it was going to be just like other quick service burger joints but we were surprised how good it was compared to Shake Shack. You can't go wrong with a burger of Chicken Sandwich but I'd prioritize the Chicken Sandwich over the burger for sure. It was seasoned really well and the nice crunch and was tender and juicy. The service was decent and did a great job handling the slight rush of folks getting food before the show. It didn't feel like we waiting long at all for our food but it was hot and fresh. The inside was very regular not special at all, and kept decently clean. The bathrooms could've been better everything was out TP and paper towels but I'll give them a little bit grace given there was an event. read more

No seed oils, woohoo!! Burger was very good and give it an 7.5/10, very solid burger. Best in DC? I'm not sure about that one. Everything is made to order and ready in about 5 minutes. Their signature sauce is great! Crispy chicken sandwich was fresh and also good but their burger was a bit better, 7/10! Fries were really good, cooked in avocado oil, 9/10 in my books! There's about 5 booths in the restaurant then some bar style seating near the front entrance read more

Pros: Proximity to nationals park Offers a Combo option unlike Shake Shack 20$ for a Burger, fries, and a sweet tea Cheaper than park food Cons: Waiting for your food could take a while Seating is limited Overall I think if you're looking for a simple meal after the game it's worth checking out, the price will definitely add up if you have kids so keep that in mind. read more

Craving for some juicy burger so I decided to order a delivery from Swizzler. Ordered the Standard American which comes with two patties, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and a side of fries. I think this burger would be better eating as soon as you order it. The delivery person was great but the food was warm not hot. read more

If you're craving a burger this place got you covered. Checked Swizzlers out with the boys and we all agreed the burgers were legit. Had just the right amount of flavor with each bite, wasn't too greasy, their swizzler sauce pairs perfectly.. definitely satisfied the craving for sure and justified the price in my opinion. Personally the fries aren't the most memorable , they go well with the burger but by the time you're finished you may just forget about them. Its a small space that can get filled up quickly but we got lucky and managed to find a seat so be mindful if going in big groups. Overall its definitely a solid spot in Navy Yard to have in rotation. read more

I only do this once in a blue moon but, this place is SO DAMN GOOD, I couldn't help myself! And, it's LOCAL!! Coming to DC from San Diego is a bit of a move. It's places like this, that makes me feel like things happen for the best... Clearly, food is priority #1 Cost: reasonable, specially because it's local. Ambiance: I feel likeI have time traveled, love it! ‍Service: Quick and friendly. read more

Totally random stop here while passing through DC. So glad we stopped! The women at the counter was so nice and helpful. The FRIES! So darn good. The jalapeño bacon burger was so so so good! Overall we really loved this for a quick bite! read more

This is a pretty solid burger spot! For the price, the portion is really good. The fries are my fave kind, and I love that sauce that comes with. I got the signature burger and that was also good! The only reason it's not 5 stars and there are better smash burgers out there, but it's still good! The staff is nice and service is fast, overall a great little spot. read more

I'm not sure how this place made the top 5 burgers in D.C. list because it's really *just* okay. The patties themself lack flavor and seasoning. The bun is to die for-- so buttery, soft, and a bit of sweetness. It was definitely the best part. The fries are delicious and came out piping hot. I also really loved the lemonade. But the star of the show, the burger, was bland and not memorable. Definitely not the best burger in Washington, D.C., at all. read more

Solid spot for a casual burger and fries. I like how they use 100% grass fed beef and avocado oil for their fries. However, fries could be a bit crisper. Apparently there was a recent change in the menu but everything is pretty much still there. They also have a kids menu! It was my first time there and I saw the teamwork behind the counter. The employee who took care of me was very personable as well. Would come again. read more

I saw Swizzler had a location in the ballpark, but I figured I'd wait until after the game. I had the spicy chicken deluxe sandwich with lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, pepper jack cheese and their spicy chicken sauce. and it comes on a Martin's potato roll that's been griddled. Griddled potato roll, that's the way to serve it! It was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in some time. Crispy skin, juicy meat, and good level of heat, but not overwhelming. Not greasy either, which is definitely an issue at some fast food chicken joints. For a side, I got the fries with spud sauce. They were nice and thick but they could've been just a little more crisp. Sauce was fine, it was sort of a burger/thousand island sauce. I drank an Arnold Palmer. Sadly, we couldn't get our own refills. On that hot July day, a second one would've been nice. Still an excellent place to go. read more

Delivers exactly what you're looking for in a great chicken sandwich: juicy, flavorful chicken wrapped in a perfectly crispy coating. The sandwiches are creative without being overcomplicated, and the quality ingredients shine through in every bite. Pair it with their excellent fries and house-made sauces, and you've got a meal that's both satisfying and memorable. Swizzler proves that fast-casual dining can still be incredibly delicious. read more

I really enjoyed the burger I had here. I ordered the signature burger. It was delicious, I really love the bun. The fries were really good, especially with the special sauce they provide. Service was pretty fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean, you can dine inside, there is plenty of seating. read more

If going to a Nats game everyone said get your Swizzler here rather than pay stadium prices. Didn't know whether to go for chicken or beef. Went with the smashburgers and it was actually a pretty good smashburger. I went for the Swizzler Signature and my husband did the Bacon Jalapeño- he said mine was better. I liked the griddled onions and pickles plus I think there's chopped pickles in the Swizzler Sauce too. It all went together very well. The fries reminded me of Wingstop fries - they were good too. You get to pick a dipping sauce too with your fries, we tried their Spudz - which is like a fry sauce. Overall it was good meal, soda machine is behind the counter - but they do refills. The restaurant was just really warm though, didn't have the AC blasting or the kitchen heats the place up! read more

Came in to grab some smash burgers. Staff was helpful and quick with getting order in. Food was ready within 5-10 minutes. The seating was nice, mostly booths with some wall seating and some tables. Ordered a #1 with fries and it was really phenomenal! The burgers were nice and juicy and full of flavor, the pickles, the onions the sauce all added compliments to the smash burgers. The fries were pipping hot, crispy and seasoned so well. Also ordered a lemonade and it was very tart which I like! Overall great experience, will come back to try other menu items.

I have no idea why, but every time I'm in this part of DC, it's like I'm mandated to visit this place for a meal. It's like the In & Out of the West Coast - must visit... but for DC. I think it really comes down to a few simple facts: 1. The quality of the ingredients are solid. Great food, simple, easy to work with. 2. The area around here is not surprisingly expensive. What you get for what you pay is exceptionally reasonable. Overall, this place is a win. I give it 5 stars not b/c it's some fine-dining whizbang awesome sauce, but mainly b/c it's good food, quick, and reasonably priced. Something that this area needs more of. See y'all in two weeks! =) Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 4 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Very pragmatic fast food. Designed to come in, get a quick bite/meal, then bounce. Nothing super special here. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no read more

Swizzler has been on our list for a while. We got two different burgers: swizzler signature and bacon jalapeño. The meal included drinks and fries. The burgers were so delicious - each came with two patties; and the fries were crisp to perfection. Loved the service as well. This is definitely more of a casual fast food joint - but delivers on quality food. Would definitely come back to alternate between our favorite burger spots in the city! read more

Swizzler Crispy Chicken + Smash Burgers - Bacon Jalapeo Meal & Swizzler Signature Cheeseburger Meal - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Earlier this week, I had their regular cheeseburger and fries for lunch. The total after tax was about $17. The cheeseburger was fairly good for the price ($11). Every bite was fairly flavorful. The fries ($5) was so so at best - not memorable. It was one of those fries where it definitely matched with the burger, bite for bite. But after the meal, I totally forgot about the fries. Would I come back? Yeah. I'll have Swizzler in my lunch rotation as a bench player :) read more

Really glad I was able to try this burger. The place itself is small, but the food is top quality. You can tell the beef is really fresh. I just wish the jalapeño was spicier, but that is just because of my preference of spice. The burgers were out in under 5 minutes, so I would say this place is a must try. read more

Something that always irks me a little is when people try restaurants and say stuff like, "this might be the best [insert food] I've had in [small city or region]." It sounds impressive but it doesn't really mean anything. Olive Garden might have my favorite pasta... Anyways, Swizzler's serves the best burger in DC (see, that wasn't so hard!). I would take them over Duke's and Eat Brgz. I had the American Standard, which is a true classic: two patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. All of the ingredients are high-quality, and the toppings really spotlight the smashburger patty, which is excellent. I washed it all down with a refreshing lemonade. The bacon jalapeño burger is also excellent. And they have a whole other section of the menu devoted to fried chicken sandwiches, which looked amazing. Next time! read more

The burger here was fire! Restaurant was hot though, you need the AC blasting. Decent fries. Would go back. Service was ok.

Solid and reliable smash burger. I really have no complaints about their burger. I got the bacon and candied jalapeño burger but really didn't care for the jalapeño. It was like the texture of a fine relish and didn't mesh really well with the burger. But that's a personal preference. The rest of the burger was great. The fries were great. The staff were nice, and the room and bathroom were clean. read more

I love the bacon jalapeno cheeseburger. I now add candied jalapeños wherever I can.

Stick with the burgers and you'll be alright! Something isn't right with the chicken.

Service was perfect attentive and quick. The place was clean and bright. The swizzler signature cheeseburger with added bacon was top tier. One of the best burgers i ever had. The fries was perfect i asked for light salt and they executed just that. The Arnold Palmer was a great amount of sweetness. Definitely gonna return because of that burger alone. The sauce and taste was great. read more

Wish I could give it a 3.5. The food is really good. Had a smash burger and fries. The burger was super tasty. If you're in the mood for a good, semi-greasy, artery clogging smash burger this is the spot. It hits all the notes. Fries were good too. The only thing that puts it at a three is the service. College aged dudes running the counter couldn't have cared less about being there. Just apathetic and not helpful. Food - 4 Service - 2 read more

While standing outside to wait for my friend, I heard a guy passing Swizzler and complaining about too many burger joints in the area. Well if there are so many, this place seems to be one of the choice spots. It was nearly packed for a Monday night. My friend and I both got the crispy chicken sandwich. There was quite a number of people ahead of us, so it took a while for the food to come out. The first thing I noticed was how photogenic the sandwich was. So yeah, passed the look test. Crispiness was just right for me and it was good. Pretty basic like some of the other things on the menu. The burgers, which most people ordered, looked really good. Of course, they do have other items if you like more flavor, spice, and other ingredients. I don't know if they have any kitchen fans, but the greasy smell of a fast food restaurant permeated throughout Swizzler. It was so strong that we smelled like Swizzler coming out and through the night. Overall though, convenient spot near Nats Park if you want to get something to eat that's not at a bar or sit-down restaurant. Good option in the DC fried chicken sandwich game, too. read more

Swizzler Crispy Chicken + Smash Burgers - Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I went here after work because I wanted a fast and casual meal. I got the swizzler signature, which was about $9.5 for the burger itself. Now, I could have gone to shake shack but I wanted to try out this place. The food seemed a bit more substantial. I did like the food. The burger had two patties and a cheesy/mayo sauce that was kind of like an improved big mac sauce. The onions were similar to the big mac, as well as the pickles. But the smashing of the burger make the patty taste very nice and not dry at all. Food came out very fast, within a few minutes. That is faster than shake shack. The vibes: It's pretty quiet when there isn't a game. And there isn't that much seating. But this is a great place to go if you live in the neighborhood. I will have to come back to try the chicken sandwiches. read more
