I had an internal fight to wether rate Burger District a 3 or 4 star since our visit. I came here with my girlfriend and her family, the staff was very friendly, sat us down right away on a Sunday morning. They were out of their drink menu due to a change with their beers/coctails, and I don't do well with having to memorize what people are just telling me, I have to read it and process it (a bit about me). :) I don't know if their kitchen challenges are isolated to that day alone or if it is an ongoing dilemma, our order to a bit long granted we were a party of six and waited approximately 40 minutes for our burgers. Once they came out, a few of the orders were wrong and or missing key elements that make up the burger we ordered. Furthermore, my girlfriend and I like our patty medium rare, they were medium well! Flavor was subpar. What I appreciated about this place and the burger was first how the manager or owner took ownership of their fails and promptly corrected it, the service was attentive and understanding. Second, the burgers are massive, I got the double bacon (missing the bacon) cheeseburger and I had to take half of it home, so come hungry or ready to take home left overs. Overall, their service and larger portions pushed me over to a 4. read more

This place was a lot of fun when we played the trivia. We got there around 5:30 not realizing trivia was at 7:30. We stayed the entire time. Happy hour prices were good. Portion sizes were decent. But the trivia was our favorite part. The shoe string fries were reaaaally good. Perfectly crisp and sal read more

Came here after a coworker's recommendation that the vegan burger was great. Me and a coworker ordered our burgers online and walked over. We both ordered their vegan burger which was $13 and added fries for $2. Pickup was quick and simple. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and our orders were even ready 5 minutes early. The food traveled pretty well after the 15-20 minute walk. The shoestring fries were still crispy but there wasn't a lot of them in my opinion. My coworker ordered curly fries but he said they were more like potato wedges. The burger was good, tasted somewhat similar to a beyond burger but the menu says it was made in house so I was super impressed. Tasted great and the patty fit the bun perfectly which is rare. It was a little pricey at almost $18 but food seems pretty good quality. I think I'll come back again sometime in the future and try a different burger since they seem to have a wide selection. read more

Great concept, space, and location, but, unfortunately, it fell short in the final product. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger. Nice presentation but the actual taste and quality were way below average. The beef had no flavor. None at all. Didn't taste fresh either. You didn't get that satisfying burger taste that you get with 99% of burgers you eat. I think if they source a better quality beef, that this place will be a winner. read more

So glad I discovered this hot burger spot! Now my favorite burger in NOVA! The burgers here are really big and I really enjoyed the Royal Smoked Burger. Egg, bacon, and crispy onions?! With a half pound of juicy beef?! Heck yeah. There's good reason why this is the restaurant's top selling burger. OH-mazingness: 9.1/10 OH-ffordability: 7.9/10 (~$17-22) Follow me on insta @ohmaneats ! read more

Best burger I've had in DC so far! The atmosphere is super casual and the decor was cool. We started with the spicy cheese curds and ranch and they were amazing, to me they were spicy but to my friend they weren't haha. I got the double chocolate milkshake and it was good but very thick. For my burger I chose the royal one so it had cheese, bacon, and a fried egg. It was amazing and I can't wait to come back read more

This place is all about quality. I got the district shrooms burger medium rare- no lettuce, no tomato. I don't understand why those things are even in a burger. Why anyone wants to taste a big fat cold crunchy leaf and a random sour cold tomato in the middle of hot juicy, beefy, cheesy madness is beyond me. So I keep it pure. The shroomy burger price is around $13. It's a little expensive, but let me just say that this burger has a lot of honor. I could literally taste the honor and integrity in the burger (if that's even possible). It comes with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, onion, Dijon, and ham. The burger itself is so tender and beefy and juicy. One of the best burgers I've ever had. The flavors meld together so well- like a dancer who's perfectly aligned with the music. I don't eat hardcore meat that often, but if I wanted to indulge, this is the place! read more

I've said it many times and I'll say it again: The burger market is saturated. I enjoyed my meal here and would certainly come back, but with that being said, I'm not sure I envision a prosperous future for Burger District. What really distinguishes the burgers here from other burger establishments? You could only make a burger so many ways. I had the blackened blue burger and my dining companion had the royal smoked burger. The blackened blue burger had Bayou spice with Wisconsin blue cheese, leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and a district sauce that was kind of like a thousand island dressing. Not sure why every burger joint gives leaf lettuce. Why can't arugula or mesclun lettuce be an option? No way of me knowing whether the blue cheese is actually from Wisconsin, but that's what it states in the menu, so I'll have to take their word for it. Burger was juicy and full of flavor. I gobbled it up pretty quickly. It comes with two pickles which was nice. Also got curly fries which were delightful. The curly fries were a little thicker than I anticipated, almost like steak fries, but enjoyed them nevertheless. The royal smoked burger looked ginormous. Dining companion seemed to really enjoy that burger as well. Service here was pretty good. Waitress did a good job of checking up on us, everything was brought over in a timely fashion. There is all different types of classic signage on the wall. I suppose it gives the place some pizazz. There is a separate bar area with several TVs as well. It was enjoyable experience here, but I just don't eat burgers too often anymore. read more

My husband and I were craving wings and saw this place had wings that looked pretty good. We loved them! They had a good selection of sauces, and afterwards my husband said he couldn't wait to go back. We got the garlic parm and the hot chili garlic. The wings were crispy, and the meat was not chewy. I am really picky about wings - these did not disappoint. We also each ordered a burger - they have menu burgers and build-your-own. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, and he ordered the Royal Smoked burger. They have different kinds of fries, too, a la carte. I thought my burger was great - my husband did not love his, but I also think we just got too full of wings for him to enjoy it as much as he wanted. I'm most excited about the fact that they have peanut butter as a burger topping - I just LOVE peanut butter bacon burgers, and you don't see many places that offer it. For dessert, we got a malt milkshake. Again, super pumped they offer malt since this is something you don't always see available. Good selection of wing sauces, different varieties of fries, peanut butter for burgers, and malt = happiness for me! The service was friendly and fast. We went at a really early hour, so there really weren't many other customers. By the time we left, they were starting to fill up with the dinner rush. I look forward to coming back to order a peanut butter burger! read more

"I haven't had a burger this good in a WHILE" - direct quote from my boyfriend I made my own burger. The patties are big! I can't imagine a double but with such great taste, I can see how you'd want more. The burger was cooked perfectly, a little juicy, but the big brioche bun soaks it right up. If you love a good mushroomy taste (that's the official flavor name right?), add the grilled mushrooms, they are delicious! The curly fries were more wavy than curly, but oh my gosh they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the best combination. All around, a great price for the quality. We will definitely be back for the burgers, Happy Hour deals, and to try the milkshakes!! read more

First time trying this place. I can tell you that my burger was delicious! I got the double bacon cheeseburger and it was a hit! Now if only the service I got matched the level of the burger... I didn't get her name but was Asian. She was absolutely the worst! I ordered a milkshake and was told they didn't have ice cream for it. No big deal I understand but when I went to the bathroom I saw her pull out a tub of ice cream and make 2 milkshakes for a freaking To-Go order!! When I confronted her, she literally said "I didn't feel like making it for you"!! Like are you serious?! Honestly don't know what the issue was.. was it my skin color, was she just a lazy server. You have no idea how that makes you feel when you get told that. Left no tip and was cussed out while I was walking out in front of other customers. Will never be coming back! read more

Very good, no frills, clean, and easy to eat burgers. It's about as good a burger as you can get eating out. Sweet potato fries were amazing. The inside has some nice booths, high tops, and a bar area. Ordering take out was easy to do over the phone and didn't take long. I'll probably be back to try something else like the fish or chicken sandwich. The prices absolutely kill me though. read more

We went here for a friends going away dinner and the food was excellent but the service was absolutely terrible. There were all females working and they wouldn't give the time of the day to the females at the table including me and when they did respond they were rude and barely listening, they were super nice and giggly with the males at our table. I definitely will tell people the food is good but the service is the worst I've ever had. read more

The burgers were great, juicy and flavorful. Usually my partner and I order one order of fries and that can fill the both of us but here it's single order, for a pretty high price. Everything on the menu is kind of pricey but I'm guessing that's based off of the surrounding area. They also gave me a regular water straw for a thick ass milkshake, where is the sense in that. When I made a comment I was given two spoons so I just returned the milkshake and took it off my tab. Took a sip though & it could've used a bit more Oreo. The ambience is really nice and I like the outdoor seating with the TV and lights. Unfortunately the food didn't fill us up so we ended up going to five guys burgers and fries to split a burger & shake right after. We wouldn't return. Wasn't a great enough experience to justify the price read more

Sloppy chicken sandwich construction: don't use the spine of the lettuce. Everything was toppling out. The chicken quality was no better than typical bar fare. I ordered a hot Buffalo chicken sandwich but the spice was absent, as was the temperature (warm at best). An old fashioned shouldn't have cherries: they are not "girlie" drinks as archaic as that sounds. I asked for salt twice for my sweet potato fries. It didn't come to me by the time we had to leave for a movie; same for my partner's shake that took way too long to arrive. He was done eating by the time it arrived. The service was severely disappointing. First time visitor, and likely the last time. Swiped left. read more

Ordered from here an hour ago and I'm already writing a review because the food was so good. We just wanted classics so I got the cheese burger and my boyfriend got the bacon cheese burger. Buns were fluffy, lettuce and tomatoes fresh, and the patties were large and perfectly cooked to our requested temperatures. The shoe string fries and onion rings were also good. My boyfriend said "this tastes like in-n-out but better," which is the biggest compliment a California burger snob can give. Happy to live around the corner from this place! read more

Burger District - Fluffy bun, good size burger - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Recently ordered takeout here for my brother's "last meal" in America before he moves abroad since he wanted one last decent burger. While there are other pretty great Bürgers in the area, we chose to give this place a shot. Unfortunately these burgers came short in terms of a last "delicious" burger. We ordered: Au Poivre Burger: The peppercorn gave it a nice flavor, but lacked in the umami flavor Department. Additionally, was cooked to be well done/medium than medium rare which is what we ordered. Since the burger patties are so thick, it's pretty important it's cooked to temperature since the meat is more of the star. Other burgers that would be a good substitute if you are looking for a savory burger with a similar flavor profile is the Wellington Burger from BGR or the truffle burger from Saint and Second. Pickel Chips: More Chip than pickle. Would probably taste better if the slices were thicker. Sliders: Standard sliders, patties were also over done. Bacon Cheeseburger: Not a standout. It is hard to have a bad burger, and I wouldn't classify these as "bad". These burgers do have potential, they just need a) more flavor (bacon jam, more sauce, more caramelized onions etc) and b) need to be cooked to temperature. All in all, I wouldn't say this place has the best burgers in Arlington, and would not recommend this restaurant if you are choosing a burger as a last meal in US. read more

Burger-wise, Burger District (BD) is swinging in the big leagues. You cannot deny that a 1/2 pound burger is some big boi (or big girl) stuff. While this place is a little pricier, I think if you're either: 1) Really looking for a hefty burger meal or 2) Looking for something out of the ordinary ... then you will find Burger District to your liking. Sure there are other places with "good" burgers that are cheaper, but the fact that BD offers a 24 oz burger is all you need to know to come here. You may not want to or plan to eat a 24 oz burger, but you will surely appreciate the fact that it exists. I ordered the Royal Smoked Burger, which was deliciously flavored and seasoned. That BBQ Ranch sauce is like heaven on earth. You know the Red Robin onion ring sauce? This BBQ Ranch sauce tastes similar, and it's just a pleasant smokey sauce with a nice sweetness to it. I could literally put this sauce on everything, burger, fries, pizza, myself. The smoked bacon and thin onion strings on the Royal Smoked Burger capped off this supremely well-assembled masterpiece. I could not have been more well-pleased. The girth of the burger, the taste of of the contents, and structure, all well done. Now the fries (ordered the shoestring fries) were pretty standard. However, it was nice that you could pick between shoestring, steak, and curly fries. Options are always good (except when all options suck). In this case, the shoestrings were par for the course, not bad, not phenomenal. So if you're a fry-guy, be prepared to be underwhelmed and come for the burger, not the fries. Service was a little more miss, than hit. There were at least 3 tables (including ours) that had entrees/plates delivered to the wrong table before coming to the correct table. I'm not sure if it's industry "standard," but I think it's a little faux pas to deliver a plate to one table, and then take the same plate to the correct table after realizing your mistake. You don't know what the first table's patrons have done to the food, and if the correct table sees it, it just looks bad. I'd highly recommend BD look into how they are organizing their tables and keeping track of which table ordered what. The waiters were mixing up tables way too often for it to be their own fault, rather it's likely the system they are using. All in all, a good burger place if you're ready to feast. If you're a moderate eater with 1/2 pound burgers not in your future, maybe opt for something else. But, either way, you won't be disappointed with the quantity. read more

The best burger I've had in a very long time. Juicy without being greasy and so delicious, I finished my Au Poivre Burger (1/2 pound black Angus beef coated with cracked peppercorns, roasted garlic, sliced tomatoes, caramelized onions and whiskey cream sauce) without even thinking of reaching for the ketchup. My girlfriend and I also split a serving of sweet potato fries which were crispy on the outside and softly sweet in the inside. To wrap it up I had an ice cold 23-oz Stella. I'll be going back soon and probably order the same thing. Why mess with perfection? Other pluses were comfortable seating, a spacious and airy dining area, and spotless restrooms. They do suffer from an unfortunate location. Street parking is limited and it's a couple blocks walk from Courthouse with its metro stop and parking lot (that's often full and charges into the evening). That two blocks isn't exactly onerous but cuts down on the random foot traffic. Good thing for you that you've read this review and might decide to wander past all those other restaurants for a truly delightful dining experience. read more

Crazy good. Literally the best burgers ever. I dream of these burgers. I want to live there.

This food was so good, so happy that we stopped here and I plan to visit again for sure. The mojito was strong and flavorful. Onion rings and fries were crispy and tasty. Last, but not least, the burger was HUGE, juicy and very flavorful! We didn't finish everything, I plan to just get a single patty next time and I know I'll be full from it. If you're considering this place, just go, it will not disappoint! Also friendly and attentive customer service. read more

I was craving a burger. Maybe it was from watching all those Epicurious videos on YouTube, but I wanted a good ol' American burger and when I saw there was a burger joint in Arlington I have yet to try I decided to venture into Court House. I walked in just after 5 so it was pretty empty but I was warmly welcomed and I bellied up to the bar. After checking in the owner walked up to me and we chatted a bit about the how business was. He then offered me a discount for being a Yelp user- all before the meal came out! He assured me that the food would be excellent and he wasn't wrong. The Au Poivre Burger was well seasoned with peppercorn and garlic, a savory delight. The beef itself was well cooked and juicy upon first bite. Talking more with the owner he told me about some of their larger burgers- like the The Big George, almost two pounds of beef. If you finish one, fries, and a shake in 20 minutes you get your meal free. Well I return to take on the Big George challenge? I don't think so. However I will be back to try more of the burger menu. read more

Great price point and a classic burger joint. I got the regular naked burger and the sauce was great. I did ask for medium though and it was pretty over cooked. Wish it came with fries (+2 bucks). Friends got the milkshakes which were BOMB read more

So I made a big mistake. I finished my food and had to go back to work... and now I can't button my shirt. The burgers here are huge and I wish I could stop myself from finishing it but it tasted so good. I had the royale burger which is a 1/2 lb pattie with French onions, an egg and bacon. It is my favorite royale burger of all time. Also their regular burgers are all 1/2 lb... So I if you order the double and finish it you are obviously not human. The service was awesome. My server was very friendly and the manager was also very hospitable. Give this place a try if you want a place with great burgers and great service. Also the prices are extremely competitive with similar places like Good Stuff Eatery. So come out the District Burger and get more bang for your buck, eat good, and leave happy!!! read more

Cool burger joint with lots of choices and combinations. The wait staff was helpful and informative. The burger was delivered promptly. Clearly one of the best bacon cheeseburgers around. Mine came loaded with red onions, lettuce, tomato and their special "District" sauce. I also tried the curly fries -- the server called them sidewinders -- and found them to be crispy, hot and tasty. I like the beer selection -- quite a few drafts from New District Brewing, the local Arlington craft beer place. Large screen TVs with sports are on the wall, if you want that. Order in, have them deliver or take out. Overall a really good burger, at a reasonable price with prompt, efficient service. Best wishes. read more

Two strikes and you're out. First of all, this was my favorite burger place and on the shortlist of local restaurants for me to support during the 6 months, I worked from home during the Age of COVID. Pick-up or delivery mostly. Always happy with the speed of the 3rd party delivery service. The burgers are big, fresh, and tasty. Other than the 1 steak fries mishap, the fries and onion rings were always crispy and warm. I say all that to explain that after today I will no longer use this establishment. The turkey burger, steak fries and onion rings walk-in order was missing the steak fries and when I called there was silence on the phone...until I said Hello and the response I got was "Yeah". I explain the missing fries and she, Jenny tells me to hold on, then comes back with; "All the cooks say they put steak fries in the bag" and I told her they were lying. So I've been a loyal customer these past 6 months and this is the attitude I'm dealing with from Jenny A. Then to top off the attitude I get asked: "What do you want?" Exactly what customer service does that, so I tell her I want the food credit refunded or delivered to me. "We don't have delivery"...Yes, you do, I get your food delivered all the time. That's someone else we don't have our own. The sign-off was more a sarcastic "Sorry this happened"...Yeah, so am I. The removal of District Burger from my shortlist has EVERYTHING to do with the attitude of Jenny A to what "was" a loyal customer. I don't pay rude people for a service, when you can be rude to me for free anytime. read more

This is an AMAZING spot for a burger and fries any night of the week. I went on a Sunday evening around 7pm and was seated immediately, we were initially the only patrons but groups quickly filed in to watch football on the numerous screens. The waitresses were all delightful and adhered to covid precautions. The tables were affixed with QR codes to access the menu and the available drafts/bottles were displayed prominently at the bar. The burgers came quickly and cooked to the desired temperature. We tried the build your own and it was delicious, medium without being dry and absolutely massive. The bacon cheeseburger came out a perfect medium rare as requested, with a fluffy bun and the requisite pickle spear that was crisp and not soggy. The burgers do not come with a side, you have to add your own for a small up charge. The shoestring fries were perfectly crispy and the onion rings were as well. The onion rings come with a side of mild house sauce, and the tables are stocked with ketchup and mustard. In terms of outdoor seating: the location has a tv outside of it to screen whatever game your group would want to watch and has space heaters. There are tables without affixed chairs, booths, and high tops. They take your seating requests into account. Any person with a disability would be able to find the right seating. read more

We dined in on a Saturday afternoon; the place was completely empty. We ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers, which they had ready in less than 15 min. There were plenty of toppings that could be added as extra, we went for the fried egg. The chili cheeseburger also looked pretty good, so we asked for a side of chili, which was provided at no cost. Portion size overall was appropriate. Service was nice, and our food was nice and fresh. Fries were not the best, but I still would come back without thinking twice about it. The place looks more like a bar than a restaurant; they have trivia nights, plenty of beer selections, and a nice young environment. read more

There's a bar menu where you can the be like The Dude and get a White Russian, be like SJP and order a cosmo, or be like James Bond and grab a vodka martini, this place has a full bar menu. The decor is of brick and old signs bringing you back to a bygone era of classic burger joints and milkshakes, and guess what... they've got both! There's something on the menu for everybody to choose from. I grabbed their signature burger, and make sure you grab a couple napkins, because it's incredibly juicy. The mustard is a little strong so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it, but it seems to work with everything else. They were attentive but you could tell that they haven't been open long since the staff still seems to be getting their feet under them and are running around. The place has lots of variety, good food, and some fun decor. Hopefully it sticks around. I'll definitely be back! read more

I never thought that something could be 'too salty' until I met their salted caramel milkshake. It was so horrible that I couldn't drink it. The fries were also very bad. They seemed like they had been sitting out for a long while. The burger however was great. I had taken my food to go so when I got home I scraped off the weird sauce they had added (which they do add to the top and bottom) and after I switched that with a BBQ sauce I had at home, the burger was quite good. It was cooked medium as I requested, and the meat was good. Overall though, I didn't find it was worth the price. The milkshake was quite expensive, and the fries cost extra. If you want just a burger and thats it this would be a fine place to stop. read more

I used to order lunch and take it home when I did not have anything at home. The era of guilt tipping and of asking for a tip before service is rendered when the service is standing at a desk while I pick up a paper bag has led me to avoid ordering out at all costs, including at Burger District. There seems to be a misunderstanding. Tipping in restaurants -- which has been ubiquitous in American restaurants for decades -- has been done in recognition of extra service beyond providing the food. This has also evolved to significantly contributing to the wages of restaurant staff as the hourly wages are unsustainable. When I order takeout from a restaurant, I am contributing to your restaurant staying in business. I should not be expected to contribute to waitstaff wages as well. I am not patronizing restaurants where I am treated rudely for any reason, including Burger District, if I decide not to tip before service -- when I am picking up takeout. read more
