Good ambiance, & whatever, food was alright, but the vegetarian & vegan entrees are virtually non-existent, there are a bunch of vegetarian-friendly appetizers though, but heads up if you're in those camps. The service on the other hand was quick & friendly read more

Beer battered burger! Beer battered fries! Beer! Special sauce! Dive bar! All things I love and enjoy. So naturally, I was bound to be a fan of this spot. Seating is few and tight. And there are never enough servers. But hey, it's a dive bar - it's supposed to be that way. It's a really small spot. There's lots to look at on the walls. Eclectic and cool - just like a dive bar should be. Its proximity to the Capitol (and having been featured on DDD) means it draws in its fair share of tourists. But there's also plenty of regulars and locals. The beer battered burger was good. Not the best burger I've ever had. But I'd also never had a beer battered one. So it was a cool and different thing to try. Hint: Ask for a side of their special sauce and slather it on your beer battered burger. All in all, this is a great and un-pricey place to grab a beer and/or a bite to eat. read more

Our waitress last night was an absolute rockstar!! She was friendly, patient, and helping so many people with a great attitude. (I hope she appreciated our tip). The blt was so good and the fries were absolutely perfect! She suggested a tequila with some ginger beer and I actually liked it. We will def come back because of her the next time we're in town. read more

This is perhaps my favorite place in the world, certainly in DC. Loads of love to the entire staff but particularly Matty, Stephanie and James. read more

Tune Inn - Ice cold draft beer, which pairs well with the best traditional Buffalo wings in This Town. - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm glad places like this exist. If you are in the mood for a historic dive bar that serves average diner food, this is the place for you! Don't come just for the food, the service or the drinks. But it you take them all together it's a great place. It's the kind of place you come when you either A) have been drinking, want to keep drinking but need food or B) want to start drinking while you get some food. If you come just for the food then you will have nothing to do while you wait 45 minutes for a fine, but not otherwise noteable meal. I don't want to make this review sound like a pan, I really iike the place, you just have to come in with the correct expectations or you are going to get pissy, and there is no room for pissiness in the Tune Inn! We got a couple drinks, a cheeseburger, a tuna melt and a PBR draft. $41, before tip. The bloody mary was average. Not great, not bad, just fine. The cheeseburger was the same. The menu said they serve 1/2 lbs. burgers and it looked on the small side. It was served with tater tots (score!) and it was just fine. A cheeseburger. Nothing to write home about but nothing to send back to the kitchen either. $8.50 The tuna melt was a grilled cheese with tuna in it. And I know some of you are thinking, "Duh, that's what it is supposed to be." You clearly have not had a tuna melt that exceeds expectations like many diners will surprise you with. This was tuna, a little on the sweet side, heavy on the mayo, grilled up on your choice of boring bread with american cheese and a lot of butter. It was fine. Chased the tuna melt down with a PBR draft. Like the food, the PBR met expectations. It didn't exceed them...it's a PBR, it was just fine! Bartender was friendly. Server said she had 20 years in the place and she was a bit in the weeds. Place was 3/4 full and everybody's food was coming out 45+ minutes after ordering. It's a small place so it really didn't seem that busy to warrant the service time. So here is the thing, if you are coming to have some drinks with friends and socialize, you won't care if the food comes late or isn't a home run. It's a great place to hang out and knock one back. I liked it a lot. I give it 4 stars for "the place" and 2 stars for food...so we're at a 3 up there, but I like it more than most other 3s if that makes sense. They also have the TouchTune jukebox thing which lets you control the music without leaving your table. That's another good way to pass the time, back to back Tom Jones songs until they unplug the thing (eg. John Mulaney). Have at it! read more

Tune Inn exceeded my expectations, even with the three-star rating. The service was accommodating and the atmosphere was fun. The food itself was okay. I had a tuna salad, salad. The tuna was made with relish, which made it a bit sweet, which I didn't love. The ingredients, however, were fresh and salad was crisp. I also had some mystery chardonnay, which was actually pretty good considering. According to my friends, the Guy Fieri burger was a solid, but pretty average burger. My other friend had the steak salad and could tell it had a "low quality" meat. He had to pick off pieces that were inedible. However, I heard the sausage burrito was fantastic! read more

OK, so the only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that I didn't try any of the food. But, for drinks, service, and ambiance (hey, gotta love a good dive bar!), I give all the stars. Seems I always get looks when I walk into a new dive bar alone, but I got NO attitude from either Ricky or Matty(?) when asking about their draft beers. Being from California, I had to try the local IPA, which did not disappoint. I went back the following night and was remembered. The only thing that could be negative was that the prices seemed high for a dive, no matter how cool a place it is, but everyone's prices are high these days, so I won't complain. read more

Really great cheeseburger! A burger book I read says this is a "neighborhood dive bar with an excellent burger on the menu," and it's spot on. The Tune Inn Burger is the classic, topped with their signature sauce (1000 Island-ish I think), American Cheese, and Onion Straws, with a white bun with a toothpick in it to hold the lettuce, tomato, and pickles. It's cooked how you like it, and the kitchen does a perfect medium. The burger is also served with fries, which were pretty good. You can sit at the bar or sit in the back at a table or a booth. TVs are visible in both places, so you can watch while you eat. There are tons of old photos are taxidermy on the walls too. If that creeps you out, this might not be your place. If you don't mind eating with the occasional deer or antlers on the wall, you've got to try this place, and go back again and again. Next time I'm there I'll try "Tony's Beer Battered Burger," because I don't think I've ever had a deep fried burger before. P.S. Someone told me that I should spread the word in one of my reviews, that girls prefer food pics instead of inappropriate ones. Not sure what that has to do burgers, but whatever. There's my Public Service Announcement (PSA). read more

Nothing has changed since 1980s. Mozzarella sticks are to die for. Everything is good and make time to try this place.

This was a place we used to frequent almost every weekend when I was a young man living on the Hill. I remember the perfectly prepared burgers and tasty french fries..and all the beers. I went there with my family this weekend. Wow. What a massive disappointment. The burgers have doubled in size and were utterly tasteless. It is like the kitchen had run out of salt. The mozzarella sticks were burnt. The fried mushrooms were a grease fest. Even the french fries were tasteless. The visit confirms to me that we never have to go again. Only improvement was the waitress was nice...in the old days, they were grumpy older women. I would easily trade a nice waitress for food with flavor. read more

Best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Hands down not even a debate! Great beer selection as well. I'd come back again!!

This restaurant has pretty good reviews, so I felt excited to give it a shot--excitement which dissipated rather quickly. The customer service was outstanding: the person taking my order over the phone was friendly and so was the guy who got the food for me. And everything was quick! The food itself is where my issue arises. I ordered mozzarella sticks, which were both bland and overcooked. There was no relief to be found in the marinara or ranch, both of which tasted very off. The mac and cheese wedges were similarly bland, albeit NOT overcooked. The burgers were very nice, but when I asked for ketchup on the burgers, I was told it would just come on the side, not sure what that was about. Final score: Customer service: 4.5/5 Food: 1/5 read more

Tune Inn - a variety of food in plastic containers - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A milestone of 70 yrs of providing libations to DC in a quaint, social setting close to the nation's Capital building. We sat at the bar and had great service from the bartender. The crowd was mixed with locals sprinkled with tourists and their cameras. Decent beer selection... however, no San Diego beers :) I'm spoiled. Stop in and imagine the stories the walls could tell. read more

Tune Inn - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Don't order the chilli. We enjoyed the ambiance and had a great time with each other but the food was rather underwhelming. The mozzarella sticks were good but were barely warm when they came out. The waiter took them back and put them under a broiler for a few seconds and brought them back out. The chilli was also not hot, it wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese on top. They also forgot the diced onion that it supposedly came with. We're wound up leaving most of it because it tasted like someone just dumped a bunch of chilli powder in it. The burgers and fries were hot but the meat was so-so and kind of gristly. Also, it was overcooked and under seasoned, as others have mentioned. That being said, we weren't expecting to be blown away by the food. What did surprise me is that it took almost a full hour to get our apps. read more

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives is why I came here. I saw their episode and it looked good and I've wanted to hit a DDD location. I ordered the Beer Battered Deep Fried Burger. It was worthy of being on a national food show. It was wonderfull. So much taste. The fries that came with it were very good also. After Good Stuff Eatery this is the 2nd best burger I've had in DC. Overall 5 stars. Would I come back. Again and again if I could. read more

Tune Inn - Shrimp poboy. It does come dressed looking way better, but I just ordered it plain. - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have been a regular at the Tune for about 14 years as most folks who hang in the bar area. I have friends who have been going there for like 30 years. You will find people from all different walks of life, but with one thing in common. We love the Tune. Is this a 5 star eating establishment? God no. However it is a place where they have great staff and great patrons who go in there for one reason. To have a moment to forget about life and enjoy an Awesome Dive! read more

IYKYK. The kind of place where you'll see tourists and also neighborhood locals, some dude in a tux, and staff whose bosses are out of town doing happy hour. The kind of place where we all have our stories. And they have yummy tater tots! The only problem is the hot sauce selection...would really love if they had cholula and/or tapatio read more

Solid 3.5 stars. I come here exclusively on Monday mornings around 9am after working 12 hours when all I want is a juicy burger or fries or mozzarella sticks. And this is one of the only places that I can get that stuff so early in the morning. Service is reliable. Food always come out super hot and delicious. The only critique is the fries could use some --- read any --- seasoning. But after doctoring it up with S&P they are good. And it's pretty cheap. You do have to get over the creepy dead animals all over the walls and accept this little dive bar for what it is. read more

Tune Inn - Tune inn burger. - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

FINALLY! I planned an entire series of posts around reconsidering diners of DC after a lot of new diners have been opening up. This cultural staple and true love of mine has been lacking in recent years in the District. I want to applaud every business that has brought back this dining experience to our Nation's Capital and review all the latest additions to see if they are hurting or helping the diners of DC. Lone and behold that the best diner in DC has not only been a few miles from my house, but it's been open for over 70 years! After visiting 3 times I could review each dish or finger food, every amazingly cheap/strong drink, or my love for the staff here. Instead I will list why this diner beats the others and end with a picture worth the rest of the review. A) Every main dish (except for steak) is under $10 and will fill up the average appetite. B) It's homey, it's quirky, and has the most comfortable booths past the bars. C) Every diner has it's staple they do better than anyone else. Tune Inn's: Mozzarella Sticks. D) There are outlets at every booth perfect for charging your phone and staying a few hours. Well Ladies and Gents, as promised, this was my boyfriend's first reaction to Tune Inn when we saw the menu. We'll see you there! read more

Tune Inn - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Dear Capitol Hill Staffer: Are you tired of the posturing and slobbery crowds of the bars a block closer to the Capitol? At the Tune Inn, you'll find something different. The Tune Inn is filled with older people who couldn't care less which Congressman you work for. The Tune Inn has a pulled pork bbq sandwhich, Southern-style, that will knock your socks off. The Tune Inn serves PBRs and an assortment of reasonably-priced beers and cocktails. The Tune Inn has a plethora of taxidermy proudly displayed on the walls - including a once-happy jackalope. The Tune Inn is irreverent, and the folks there have a low tolerance for arrogance. It's casual, relaxed and good. Perfect local bar. read more

Food was average. Service was terrible as there was only one dude servicing all the tables, rest of the staff ran the kitchen. Maybe it's because we came on a Sunday, but if this is the usual set up then they have a problem in their hands. Only reason its 3 stars and not 2 was because they have an awesome set of taxedermy displays on their walls. And also because they've been featured on DDD read more

I'm not a stickler for hygiene, I'm really not. When I cook for others, I'm not gonna lie, I'll lick the spoon and put it right back into the pot. Alan K. thinks I'm downright gross when it comes to how long I leave food in the fridge and am still willing to eat it. I've gone to restaurants and found hair in my food or bugs and still been willing to go back. With that having said, Tune Inn is possibly the most disgusting restaurant I've ever been to, and I'm genuinely concerned about their lack of hygiene. We went for a late lunch. When the server sat us down, there was a bowl of butter and jelly packets on the table, with a crumpled up, dirty napkin in it from the previous customers. The waiter pulled the dirty napkin out of the bowl and left the butter and packets on the table for future customers to consume. We obviously did not partake. The bathroom was disgusting, and there was no soap. Like I said, we went for a late lunch to this place that is mostly a bar, so they probably hadn't seen a ton of customers during the day and weren't so busy that they couldn't check for something so critical and legally required. I really don't like the idea that the people serving and making our food were not washing their hands with soap after using the bathroom. The food was typical, greasy bar fare and not worth going out of your way for. There are also bars with better food and hygiene on the same block. I won't be back. read more

The "all fried all the time" tasting menu we managed to cobble together at Tune Inn was an artery clogging orgy of epically-proportioned excess. As you can imagine, we enjoyed just about every last crunchy crispy bite! Over an enthralling basketball game on the many large screens, we indulged in: 1. Mozz Sticks ($6.99) - made with fresh, hand cut blocks of mozzarella, in my august opinion as a global connoisseur of mozz stix, these are actually significantly more delicious than your average frozen mozzarella stick! A+++ 2. Bowl O'Shrooms ($4.99) - beer battered with ranch dipping sauce, I was actually a bit disappointed by the exorbitant (and completely unnecessarily high) breading to actual mushroom ratio...skip this! 3. Tony's Beer Battered Burger ($9.49) - completely gimmicky, but actually surprisingly delicious. Like putting chips in your burger. You'll definitely want to try it at least once, and if you don't like the breading, you can pretty easily pull it off the deliciously juicy patty 4. Crab Cake Dinner ($16.99) - we were on a total crab cake quest the entire time we were in DC, and Tune Inn's version did not disappoint. Chock full of crab and fried crisp with tasty cole slaw and crispy fries (we requested extra crispy fries) All in all, we shortened out lives by a few years, saw a heated game and enjoyed a fun-tastic dinner! PARTING THOUGHT: Tune Inn has a great sign by the bar that says, "Men: no shirt, no service. Women, no shirt, free drinks!" Awesome! read more

Should you go to Tune Inn?? HECK YEAH!!! It's awesome!!! It's a friendly neighborhood style bar with decent unhealthy fried food. They even fry their burgers! There are about eight beers on tap, a full bar, seating inside and outside, and a large bar. I don't see how anyone wouldn't like the place. The bartenders range from surly to extremely nice. The decorations are mostly taxidermy animals, including foxes, squirrels, a bear drinking a beer, and chandeliers made out of deer antlers. Prices on the menu are pretty reasonable for DC: about $10 for a burger and fries and around $3-4 for beer. Oh, and they have free internet. read more

I wasn't as crazy about this DDD recommendation as I normally am. It has a great neighborhood bar feel to it. Definitely a divey atmosphere with not a lot of space and a reasonably-priced menu stockpiled with comfort food. The mozzarella sticks for an appetizer were awesome. Crispy exterior, soft interior, and a solid marinara sauce. With four pieces, it's a good option for sharing but not enough for a full meal. After seeing it on the menu, I had to go for Tony's Beer Battered Burger. A deep-fried burger, how could I not try it? It was good, but somewhat underwhelming. It needed a sauce or some sort of dressing up beyond the usual cheese, lettuce and tomato. Perhaps a bbq sauce or an aioli? And I'm never a big fan of when the cheese it just thrown on top instead of melted on. That said, the meat itself was good. I was surprised how the deep-frying actually didn't have much effect on the meat itself. The fries were pretty bland though, crispy but needed some seasoning or sauce. I'm not sure if I'd get the burger again, but it's a cool place I'd surely come back to for some beer and finger food. read more

This is the first place my wife and I went to when we got to DC. This was featured on the Food Network's Diners Drive-ins & Dives. After reading a few Yelp reviews, we came up with this combination: Apps: Fried Mac & Cheese Wedges & Mozzarella Sticks ( I have to agree with one of the reviews. These are probably the best on the East Coast) Entrees: I had the Reuben Sandwich and the wife had a cup of Chili. The place is very eclectic with guns and stuffed animals on the wall but the food is excellent. Comfort Food at its best. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area. read more

2.5 stars Looking for a place to eat near the capitol, I was pretty excited about the Tune Inn due to its rich history and of course the visit from Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The server didn't see us for a good 15 mins but then took our appetizer order and brought us some water. I was really disappointed in the fried macaroni and cheese wedges, it was literally the cheap mac n cheese you get from the grocery store. We ordered a veggie omelet and grilled cheese as entrees. I couldn't bare how much processed cheese was incorporated into these dishes as we were hoping for REAL cheese. The grilled cheese may have been understandable but the veggie omelet was just too much. We also were hoping for some home fries but were told that they ran out right before we came in and could only serve fries at the time. I really would like to come back here but the food just wasn't that great. If they put some real cheese in their food, I'd negotiate my overall star rating. read more

I had this spot marked down on my to go list since I had seen it on the food network "diners, drive inn's and dives" They had the Joe's Virginia Sandwich as the must have item and that's what I had along with the mozzarella sticks. Sticks were very good. They were extra hot which is a must so the cheese just melts and twist and feels never ending while your eating. The only down side to the appetizer was that it was very greasy. The sandwich was next and I expected it to be ALOT bigger that what I got only because the sandwich was massive in TV compared to what I got. It was a average size sandwich, the meat was medium - medium well and the sauce they raved about was as advertised. The sandwich it self was on-point!!! To the buttery bread to the flavor and taste it was a great sandwich. I will add the fries were amazing as well crispy and fresh oil used by the color. The service was a little dull the server was not to helpful and was just kinda like McDonald's like "can intake your order" Place it self is small and rustic old fashion like, Kinda like an old cabin or small village bar but it works. Expectations fell a little short but it was a good meal. read more

Tune Inn - The Menu Cover - Dive Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Very divey and historic little bar located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood on Pennsylvania Ave. My bf and I happened to be on the National Mall that day, so we decided to grab a late lunch on the Hill. Of course, the National Mall does not have amazing food options and the closest thing we could find was a mile or so away. Tune Inn had been on my list of bars to visit for some time and I'm glad we had the opportunity to do so yesterday. For the food, I would give this place 5 stars. Very excellent food - filling portion and delicious mix of ingredients. We both ordered burgers. I ordered the Tune Inn burger (hamburger topped with Tune Inn's signature sauce, american cheese and onion straws) with bacon added. I loved how generous they were with the bacon portion. So perfect. My boyfriend ordered the Swiss Mushroom Onion burger and also really enjoyed it. I seriously hadn't had a burger that good in a long time, so I left a very happy camper. We also ordered drinks - beer for my bf (per usual) and a glass of wine for me (per usual as well). The restaurant itself is quaint, divey, and reminiscent of another time. They've been open since 1947! I loved the cozy and cute little booths. Service was good too - quick and efficient and friendly. Only thing is that they really need to use gloves in their kitchen. We sat in a back booth and could see the kitchen area and it was sort of... gross. Also, the lady carrying out my wine glass held the glass with her fingers at the top (where I put my lips on the glass) instead of by its stem, as people normally do. There were smudges all across the top of my glass. It felt so gross that I decided to use my straw to drink my wine (have to say that's the first time I've ever done that). But for the gross-ness of some parts of my experience, I would have given this place 5 stars. Besides the unsanitary conditions I witnessed, the food was amazing (and I certainly did not lose my appetite), the place is historic and perfectly divey, and we had a great time. Oh, and Guy Fieri (of Food Network's Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives) has visited this place and it was featured on his show back in 2010! He even has a signature item on the menu. My bf and I watch that show on occasion and found it amusing. read more

Husband, daughter, and I had the fried cheeseburger (yes, deep-fried), a patty melt, and an oyster po boy special. All were perfectly cooked and delicious. The fries were battered and crispy. Be sure to ask for their special house sauce, it is to die for good! Great service and great food. Still dreaming of that fried cheeseburger... read more

UPDATE-Nov. 2, 2011: Talked with Lisa yesterday and the Tune MAY re-open on Friday (11/4) but likely not first thing in the morning, perhaps in the afternoon. May even be a chance it will be Saturday. Seems like news changes by the hour. By the way, the place looks great! The Tune is TEMPORARILY closed because of a fire. Extensive work is under way to get it open ASAP. They had estimated that it would reopen on Labor Day, but I heard lately that it may not be until October. The only updates that I have about the place are as follows: this Guy what's name came in and did a segment on the Tune for his Food Network show. As a result, it has now become even more of tourist destination as well as a magnet for outsiders who live nearby (Virginia and Maryland people). The second piece of news is that the Tune was again listed as one of Esquire Magazine's Top 100 Bars in the country. I wish the media would just leave this place alone before they ruin it. We're looking forward to reopening and the new look. read more

3.5 stars but rounding up. Super greasy bar food on steroids. Of course it was profiled on DDD (Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives), since Guy Fieri seems to have a penchant for fried foods. However, if you enjoy fried foods, this is a great place to go. I felt like I needed a coronary bypass after eating here, but for my one unhealthy meal of the DC trip, it was a worth trying. We came in for a late dinner (around 8:30pm) after a Nationals game, and were able to grab one of the last tables. We ordered: -Side of Corned Beef Hash (Freshly Cooked Corned Beef Diced Up w/Green Peppers, Onions, Potatoes, $4.49, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tune-inn-washington?select=1R6J8a1WodVvels94OgHpA#1R6J8a1WodVvels94OgHpA): I didn't like it because I thought it was too salty, but the bf enjoyed it. This was a huge portion for a "side" though! -Beer Battered Fries (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tune-inn-washington?select=1R6J8a1WodVvels94OgHpA#YaX7bOkRZJ-es7qZbpH5Dw): Hella good fries! They were really crispy but not still soft inside, and had really good flavor. -Tony's Beer Battered Burger (Burger is Grilled, Beer Battered, Deep Fried, $8.99 + Sweet Potato Fries, $1, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tune-inn-washington?select=1R6J8a1WodVvels94OgHpA#QVWDZiBCjJd10rMj71ie_w): HOLY CRAP. You can feel your arteries clogging as you eat this, but this burger was pretty freaking good. I'm glad I only ate half since eating one by yourself is a little too beast status for me. The sweet potato fries were also really good, although I'm not sure if I liked those more or the fries. -Fried Pickles (Pickle Spears Breaded and Fried, Served w/Salsa Ranch Dressing, $3.99, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tune-inn-washington?select=1R6J8a1WodVvels94OgHpA#JMGixsntvCgMOl40tsxdpQ): This is another artery clogging, but delicious dish. I had to pick off some of the breading towards the end, but I liked the flavors. They also gave you a huge portion for this dish. Our server was super nice, although stretched thin since she had a lot of tables. It took a while to flag her down at times, but she was more than accommodating when we wanted to switch the sweet potato fries back to the beer battered ones, and just gave us extra fries for free. My only complaint is with the bathrooms- these are the smallest stalls in the world (they have a separate women's and men's bathroom) and the locks are faulty. I'd recommend you have someone stand next to the door if possible since someone almost walked in on me, and also the bf. Overall, I would recommend checking out Tune Inn if you enjoy fried foods, or for drinks at the bar. It seems like a lively place to get a drink, and the bartenders seemed really friendly. However, parking can be difficult since they only have a few spots on the street in front of the bar. read more

Tune Inn is a dive bar with a lot of history. You can read all about it on their menu. It's definitely dark with a masculine feel -- animal heads all over the walls and LCD TV everywhere. We tried the fried pickles ($3.99 for 5) for the first time. At first glance, it was a bit frightening how oily and battered they were. They came out piping hot, so you'll need to give them a couple of minutes to cool down. When you finally bite into it, you'll appreciate the contrast in textures and temperatures -- crispy and soft, hot and cold. The appetizer came with a ranch dipping sauce. I also had the crab cake sandwich ($11.99). The patty was fried to ensure that it stays in place with each bite. It was okay. And the fries? They have to be one of the best non-curly fries I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and delightfully crispy from being battered. Oh boy, was it good....also came with cole slaw. read more
