I think they invented slow casual. The cashier was the milkshake blender. They made our order wrong. I saw three other customers ask to fix their order while I was waiting. On the plus side, my son said it was the best hamburger bun he's ever had. read more

Swizzler is relatively new burger and fries shop located in Navy Yard. It's steps away from the baseball stadium located where all the hotels and other restaurants are on 1st Street. The sign and logo stands out, but inside it's as plane as Jane. Reminded me of a throwback burger stand from the 80s. Not sure if that's what they were going for or not? There are 6 -7 booths for eating inside, but it's also closed off due to Covid. So you can grab your food and go or place an order via their app and pick up. My friend kept raving about the burgers so we had to go. The menu is simple.....Burgers....Fries.....Drinks. I ordered the Beet Burger and made it a meal with Fries and Fresh Squeezed Lemonade. The Beet Burger was definitely worth it. It was unique flavor; not too sweet and not over powered by Beet. Tasted freshly made and paired well with the other ingredients. Best of all it stayed together and was easy to eat. The fries were thick cut. There was also an option to order seasoned or sweet potato fries. It came with their own swizzle sauce which can only be tasted and not described. The lemonade was a let down. It tasted and looked like any store bought lemonade I've had before. You have to pay extra if you want this part fo the meal. So it was not worth it. All in all, I think it's a little overpriced for what you get, but then again it's DC. But it's worth a try especially if your craving burger and fries. This place will give you a unique offering that tastes fresh, probably healthy than fast food and will fulfill that comfort food craving. read more

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

This review is solely about the fact that this place falsely advertises they have Smashburgers. They sell thin burgers, but they are not smashburgers. From a burger perspective, the burgers are good, and I'd go back, but from a smashburger perspective, they suck. They need to do research on smashburgers and learn how to make them properly. Do not go here if you want a true smashburger. read more

Swizzler Crispy Chicken + Smash Burgers - Menu falsely advertising smashburgers. - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My favorite burger spot and honestly I can't believe I didn't know about it for so long. It's a hole in the wall and very casual. For example the burgers are served in trays but you forget all that because it's sooo good. So fresh and perfectly balanced. Honestly you can go wrong with anything but definitely order extra sauce. They a few to choose from! read more

Swizzler is so good! I remember when they were just a small food truck serving hot dogs at Capitol South. Some of my happiest memories of working on the Hill and seeing this truck pop by -- that was before they even made burgers! I can confirm that their burgers are quite tasty and their fries are really good. Not sure what type of oil they took them in, but I think it's what makes them so much better! I wish they served their specialty hot dogs at the brick and mortar location but I think they've only done that a few times. read more

Sadly, I'm just not a fan. And believe me, I tried. I LOVE smash burgers. But these are just mediocre. The burgers are FAR too salty. And while they are allegedly cooked at medium temp, the ones I've tasted have been overcooked to the point of being dry. I wanted the smaller business to win, but Shake Shack's burgers are just far better. read more

My favorite burger place in the neighborhood, their burgers are good but I especially enjoy their Chicken Sandwich and fries! This location is always busy, especially during games days but the staff are always pleasant despite how busy they get! Make sure to also get some fri sauce next time you stop by! read more

Super fun vibes with a perfect location. Amazing burgers and nice crips fries. The staff were super friendly and the service was super fast.

Food was amazing. Burgers were very good and fries were the best. Highly recommend if you are in the area

ordering takeout on a Friday evening: 1) Food: The menu includes cheeseburgers, hamburgers, hot dogs and fries. Overall, the food was average to good. My bacon jalapeño burger was spicy and tasty. My toddler loved the Burnie Mac hot dog with mac and cheese. My wife built her own cheeseburger. The parmesan truffle fries were okay. They have a variety of sauces but none were super flavorful. The menu lets you order each item on its own or order a meal with a drink (Coke products) included. 2) Space: The inside is well designed and inviting. There are a number of booths. 3) Parking: Street parking can be tough to find, but the F Lot is across the street charging $1 an hour to park. read more

Better than Five Guys. Better than In-N-Out. I just got back from LA, and I didn't think the crown for America's best fast food burger was in doubt (Team In-N-Out here). Then Swizzler blew my mind. The bacon jalapeno cheeseburger is a smart, classy revelation of consistently perfectly prepared delicious double beef patties (grass fed, who does that!?), melty American cheese (good riddance, Five Guys' barely melted afterthought), actual good bacon (again shame on you Five Guys!) and an assortment of sophisticated little touches like candied jalapeno, arugula and sliced AND diced pickles. This burger fits the classic mold but has serious personality - the incisive flavors and golden mouthfeel are like no other fast casual burger. I pity anyone who hasn't tried one yet. P.S. the shakes are golden too! Don't get the Washingtonian burger though, too fussy without delivering the knockout punch. read more

Swizzler was a fantastic treat when I was looking for a quick bite, specifically a good hotdog, in Navy Yard. I ordered the Burnie Mac, a 100% grass-fed dog topped with homemade mac & cheese, toasted bread crumbs, and sweet + spicy zzq sauce. It was delicious! They had a few booths for seating inside and of course you could carry your dogs to eat in a grassy area nearby if you wanted to. I'll definitely be swinging by Swizzler for another tasty dog in the near future! read more

Ordered through DoorDash. Delivery was quick and my burger and fries were fresh and tasty!

Update! Food is still as good as before, BUT THE SPICY NUGGETS ARE AMAZING! Get them! Also, I met Jesse in store a few weeks ago, as I have been back multiple times since my initial review and he's so down to earth. I'm a young African American woman that works around the SE location and no one, especially business owners converse with me. Everyone is usually rushing or overwhelmed. I could see that he was doing something in regard to the business but he spoke and made me feel welcomed on my visit to pick up my food. Thanks Jesse! Happy Holidays guys! read more

Swizzler crispy chicken was next to our hotel during our stay in Washington DC. We picked up some takeout on our last night there. The staff was extremely hard-working as they were super busy. We ordered a veggie burger and fries overall, I would say the food was just OK. Nothing I would write home about but definitely somewhere I would consider returning if I was in a pinch I needed some food. Be aware that, depending on the day and time of night, it might not be fast food. We waited quite a while. There is some indoor seating options, but overall limited it seems as if most of the people that order food from here take it to go there's a variety of chicken options as well as lemonade and iced tea. The restaurant seem clean enough. I was happy they had a vegetarian option. read more

Amazing chicken and burgers!! Would recommend spicy chicken sandwhich or the #2 burger. Our favorite place in the neighborhood. Perfectly seasoned and fresh ingredients. Being from Texas, I thought I would miss our burger and chicken places, but Swizzlers doesn't miss!!! It's so well designed too. Star off because it can get a little pricey. read more

I enjoy the Swizzler! It is very chill. The ladies who work here are so sweet and funny. And the food is good. They have crispy fries, and that's the way fries ought to be! I love the jalapeños on the burger. They are candied so it's not spicy, more of a sweet taste but it pairs very well. Washed it down with a nice beer. I'm one happy gal! read more

Swizzler Crispy Chicken + Smash Burgers - Bacon Jalapeo Burger - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Worst stand in Nats Park by far. Everything is pre-made and the employees sit there on their phones and hope you won't ask for help. And they're sure to be rude if you do. And they don't tell you if they're out of stuff (like pickles) so surprise! when you open the deluxe sandwich with pickles you paid for. read more

SOOOO good. Amazing burgers and chicken sandwiches. Probably some of the best burgers I've had as of late, and when other fast food joints have such insane prices this is better and worth it. More of a fast food feel inside but great to pick up right before a game or for a quick bite. Dreaming of going back. read more

The food is soooo good. Stopped by here on the way to see the Savannah Bananas at the Nationals Park and everyone enjoyed their meals. The place was clean, the service was friendly and fast. We will definitely come back here when we're back in the area. read more

Right up there with Five Guys and Shake Shack. Pricey but delicious, like absolutely delicious. It is not as easy to customize, the cashier was happy to do it, but it involved a lot of "skip this, add that" where I think Five Guys is just superior with their "start with a plain base burger then pick additions" model. Also, would have loved a milkshake, but they don't sell those. Last thought: definitely add the flavor bomb! Mouth watering just thinking about it. read more

Love the burgers and fries. The chicken sandwich is also pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the location. Parking is terrible in the area because it's near nationals stadium. read more

Had swizzler burger three days in a row! It definitely became one of my fav burger spot in DC. The menu is very simple and the burgers are grass fed with reasonable pricing! You can have a quality meal for under $10 here. My favorite burger is "The stack" and you won't see this on the menu but you can order it. read more

That Jalapeño burger and fries was so very good..I had to take my time and savor the flavor. Absolutely delish!

I didn't get to take the picture because I dove in to fast. But it reminds of a Shake Shack burger which is a good thing. The inside was very colorful and the staff was very polite. The Arnold Palmers here definitely slap and were on free refills. I definitely recommend this place anyone in the area itching for a beef burger or chicken. They also have a vegan option I believe as well. read more

I stopped by Swizzler's the other day when I was taking my dog around the Navy Yard area. I am a fan of the burgers they sell. It's a new age twist and I would categorize it as gourmet burgers. Unfortunately there are no seats inside. read more

We loved everything about this place! Their signature sauce is so so so good. We came here for a super late dinner. I wasn't that hungry, so I just got some fries and a milkshake. The fries were excellent - make sure to get the dipping sauce! The chocolate milkshake was also tasty - the chocolate drizzle on the cup was a nice touch. My husband had the classic American burger and swears he's going tomorrow for another one. I had a bite, and it really was yummy. A success! read more

Just finished my food. The burger was good. Nothing spectacular or mind blowing. I ordered the #1, Signature Cheeseburger, that came with fries and a drink. I asked the waitress, "does bacon come on it?" and she replied, "no but you can add it". I said, "ok, add bacon". I DIDN'T GET BACON! I wasn't charged for it, but I wanted bacon!! I ordered each sauce to try them all. Unfortunately, they weren't labeled so I wouldn't know how to order them if I went back. The fries, they were good, but they were stingy with them! My food looks NOTHING like what's advertised on their IG page or the pics they submitted on here....Again, it was a good burger, but not worth $13.50. read more

Don't eat at drizzles. They are rude and I can't eat cheese, but they won't customize without cheese. Not customer friendly!

The cheeseburger was slammin'. Must try. I caught Swizzler just as they were closing. The staff were kind and swift. read more

When you're talking about burgers and fries, it sounds simple, but few places get it just right. Swizzler is easy to love. First of all, the pricing here is great. You don't often get a burger + fries + drink for less than $18 in DC, so the price is right. The quality of the food, too, was great. With takeout you always worry about things getting soggy, but that wasn't the case here. My boyfriend got the Swizz stack meal, and I got the bacon cheddar jalapeño meal. Burgers were tasty, fries were some of the best I've had, and even though I'm not a big soda drinker, I always love when a place has root beer. read more

Terrible fucking service. How does one order a burger from a burger spot AND THE BURGER DOESNT MAKE OT IN THE BAG?!? I wouldn't even be as upset if there was a damn customer service option, but for you to call the number and it says "our staff is busy in the kitchen providing great experiences" is a slap in my fucking face. I am pissed off, and want my money back. Got sent a bag full of fries by some damn idiots. Unacceptable read more

Everything is delicious. I highly recommend this place. Great food and great service every time

Really impressed with this place. Found it on Yelp! & it's legit. Had the Signature Cheeseburger and it was really good. I like those thinner Pattie's so this was my kind of burger, enough condiments but not over complicated. Just a great cheeseburger. My boys had the chicken sandwich and I tried some, it was very good and tasty. Fries are excellent and I'm a fan the the fry-sauce they have to dip them in. Lemonade was on point, not too tart and not too sweet, just right. One of my sons had the milkshake and liked it. The simplicity of the menu is refreshing. The staff were ALL so friendly, really good & positive vibe in this place! Price is good and the quality is high, check it out read more

So I ordered Swizzler to recover from my brunch activities. This hit! Did the trick; and all of the above. I got the fries, chicken sandwich, and a lemonade. All of it was delicious and delivered fresh. Much appreciated and I will for sure have to stop by in person. read more

After a Washington Nationals game, while walking back to the Metro station, we found Swizzler. Swizzler has a simple menu of various types of cheeseburgers and crispy chicken sandwiches (they also have a veggie burger). You can make a cheeseburger or crispy chicken sandwich a meal which means the addition of their Golden Spudz (house-cut fries sprinkled with sea salt) and a drink. My family had the crispy chicken sandwich meal and I had the signature cheeseburger (100% grass-fed beef double-patty smash burger with cheese, griddled onions, pickles + signature sauce on a fresh-baked potato bun) meal. The fries come with a variety of sauces. The sandwiches and fries were excellent. Swizzler is a perfect place to get a pre or post game cheeseburger or crispy chicken sandwich. Service was good. It took a little while to get our food but everything was cooked fresh. You should check out Swizzler the next time you are by Nationals Park. read more

Solid burgers. They make them perfectly, so good and just the right amount of greasy same goes for the fries
