    Double bacon cheeseburger with lots of fixins
    Lailah J.

    Washington, DC (Capitol Hill) - I was staying at the hotel across the street so this was a super convenient option for food and we popped by a couple of times. I was skeptical at first maybe because the restaurant has tinted windows so looked kinda closed, but boy was I wrong...and whaddya know, they're actually open from 10am-midnight most days! (Only Wed they close at 10pm.) We ordered a burger, chicken sandwiches, cheesesteak, and fries, and everything was fantastic and came out hot and fresh. The chicken sandwich is massive and superb value at $7.79! I had a spicy chicken sandwich "loaded" with the recommended toppings - the chicken is tender, flavorful, with a crispy flaky crust. The bacon cheese burger was excellent as well. I only tried a bite of the Philly cheesesteak but it was pretty decent. You can tell the fries are made from fresh-cut potatoes not frozen. There are a great variety of complimentary topping choices including sautéed mushroom & fried onions. They also offer kosher hot dogs, a few vegetarian options, and 75 flavors of shakes & malts, which I'm bummed not to have tried but it was too much on top of our already gluttonous meals. The inside was clean, with 2 ordering counter when it gets busy. The guys behind the counter were all hardworking, and one even brought our food to us on the first day when it was slow, which he didn't have to do. Z Burger is kind of like Five Guys on steroids - with more variety and enhancements. It's as good as fast food gets!

    Onion Rings

    Was visiting DC and staying across the street so stopped in to Z burger for a quick dinner. I agree with previous reviews that it's on par with Five Guys. Food is made to order. I had a cheeseburger which I thought was good and quite filling. Ordered the onion rings which were gigantic and had a large amount of fry batter. I ended up only eating from the bag. Next time I would get 1/2 fries and 1/2 onion rings.

    This basic burger with small fries was amazing! Such an excellent value and so delicious.

    Original Cheesesteak
    Todd V.

    I was in Washington DC on business & asked a local where to find great cheesesteak sandwichs. He said Z Burger had great cheesesteak, but their burgers & shakes were great as well. The closest Z Burger,500 New Jersey Ave NW, was a little far from where I was but I was set on finding & enjoying an east coast cheesesteak. I was told there might be a line so be patient. When I entered the a/c felt so refreshing. I changed my plan & decided to eat there. The wait was minimal which allowed me time to choose from the 4 cheesesteaks on the menu. I ordered The Original & got to choose from a large list of free sandwich toppings. Watched the chef cook it...Oh my! Not the baby Subway portions. Did not think I could eat it the whole thing but after my first bite I couldn't stop eating. As I ate, I glanced at the 40+ flavors of hand scooped shakes they make. Wow! Maybe tomorrow. Yes, it was so great that I caught a ride across town the next day as well & ordered the same. This time I had fries. My second day I couldn't eat the whole sandwich by it was cool enough to eat out on the patio w/ locals who work at a nearby hotel-they were funny. Another great experience. Took the other half back to the hotel fridge & ended up eating Z-Burger cheesesteak 3 days in a row & wish i could have made it 4 days, but I had to catch a plane. No way I will find this yumminess in CA. I don't know about the other Z-Burger locations but this one was a hit. The manager/owner person & the master chef were kind & helpful. Forget looking elsewhere. If you're close, bring the fam. Split the sandwiches & shakes so you can eat here 3-4 days a week. I would. Free a/c & great atmosphere. Can't wait to returnBy far one of my favorite memories in DC.

Well I do enjoy burgers and plenty of places have upped their burger game. As much as it cost for a burger at certain fast food places you might as well hit up some of these other places. The prices are basically the same now. On a few trips to Capital Grille I did go with the burger and so I decided to check out its affiliate Capital Burger. Capital Burger actually has more burger options to choose for over Capital Grille and a more slimmed down menu. Still with the name burger in its name, you know where their focus is. I went with the bacon cheeseburger that comes with candied smoke bacon that came at $22 with your chose of sides (fries or various salads). It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and you can tell when a burger is cooked with better ingredients and cooked with a give a damn. It was not thrown together, and the fries were not just sitting under a heating lamp. I actually ordered a to go burger for the spouse. Here is where customer service comes in. I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.

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!

The mosquitoes aren't out yet so enjoy the patio. But honestly, the real star of the show, the one that truly stole my heart and taste buds, was the Antigua Bound drink. It was so good I had to get it twice! Seriously, this drink is a game-changer. It's got that perfect balance of refreshing and delicious that just makes you want to savor every sip. You know a drink is special when it outshines a stellar patty melt and fries, and the Antigua Bound definitely did that. Do yourself a favor and get to Lucky Buns DC (18th Street location) for some amazing food, and whatever you do, do NOT leave without trying the Antigua Bound. You'll thank me later! You're welcome!

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 image of the "runny" egg was too much so I ate half the toast serving and meandered to the fries. Not bad, crispy , hot, and...wait...sweet...something is off, I can't put my finger on it but at least it's not a raw egg. I keep eating. My kids looks at me and says, "do these remind you of funnel cake?" THAT'S IT - FUNNEL CAKE. We have both had enough, ask for the check.

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.
