This is my first time trying this burger joint and I was impressed with food and service, very well done. The only problem I have with this place is that they add a tip to your bill and that's a bit weird but it is what it is I guess. Good place to eat some good burgers read more

I. Hate. Burgers. They are cliché and there are a so many options in Shaw. I was also sad I never got to try Espita, the restaurant occupying this location. I tried Ghostburger because it's the one joint in my neighborhood I haven't tried. I regret that I haven't been here before. Brittany, the server/bartender was delightful and talked about the history of this Shaw-owned business- and it's evolution from Espita. I got the fried chicken sandwich with onion rings- Britany's recommendation, and the sauce was exceptional. The. Sauce. I recommend for an easy variety in Shaw. We are growing our palate toward finer and international varieties- which is good- but it's good to know there's a burger joint on the block just as competitive in flavor and service. #shaw #burger #ghostburger #9thstreet read more

Everything is amazing!!!!! If you're in the mood for a burger or a philly cheese steak, you won't regret going to Ghostburger. The Ghostburger and the burger de Paris are just perfect. The patties are very high quality beef and perfectly browned and smashed. The burger de Paris just melts in your mouth in a beautiful combination of creamy wholesomeness with a nice blue cheese kick. Fries are crispy and seasoned to perfection. Make sure to try the cheesesteak fries for a pretty unique taste extra smiles. The cheesesteak simply is like no other in DC. It just melts in the mouth - the freshly baked buttered soft roll is generously filled with deliciously seasoned beef and an out of this world house made cheese blend. If you had to pick one item it should be the cheesesteak sandwich !! read more

Heard about this restaurant online and wanted to try it out. It's located inside Espita near the convention center metro stop. You can walk inside and are given your food at the counter. I ordered the Crispy Chick and a single patty Ghostburger with an order of Crinkle Cuts fries. I personally think the Ghostburger was pretty small and the Crispy Chick was what I expected for a chicken burger to be sized. The food was pretty good, I enjoyed the sauce and the unique flavoring. The chicken burger felt based in some kind of Mexican themed seasoning and I thought it was pretty good. I do think there was a bit too much sauce because every bite I took had it coming out of the sides. The fries didn't seem special compared to anywhere else, the sauce they included with the fries was a good addition but I don't think it elevates the fries enough to make it worth it. Service was really good, I enjoyed being able to just order on my phone and receive a text when its ready. The cashier was very nice and offered utensils, I was in and out quickly. Overall I think its worth a try but I don't think it's worth having again due to the price and the sizing of the food. It's special the first time because I've never had it before but I don't think its worth having again unless you have money to spend. read more

Got the la Hamburguesa (2 patties) and the plain fries The hamburger was decent. Unlike most smash burgers, it was actually quite rare. The toppings were delicious on their own, but I'm not sure they made the burger more than the sum of its parts. Especially on such rare patties, which meant there was no textural diversity. (Toasting the bun might help too.) More than anything, the toppings made me want to go to Espita, where those flavors could come through in more effective dishes. The fries were just sad. Freezer-burned-ish with little flavor and an iffy job in the frier. Not to mention a stingy portion for the price (what happened to fries that come with burgers?). The garlic sauce they came with was very good, but needed a more satisfying medium to get to my mouth. read more

While the food was good, i can't say yet if I feel moved to return. I went during the day so it was fairly empty. The service was quick and our food came out very fast. Was the food flavorful, yes! Did it feel like a full meal and not like an appetizer? Not really. The portion sizes are really small and not very filling. I got the chicken sandwich and feel like I finished it in 4 bites total. The French fries had good flavor but were over cooked and hard. The serving sizes make me not want to give a full 5 stars. read more

I came across Ghostburger in my search for burger place the other day. I have to say the photos on their website are extremely inciting, so I decided to give it a shot. I went with the Ghostburger (double patty, but you can also do single) and the crinkle fries. You had the option to add cheese and bacon to the fries (I went without). Honestly, this is one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The cheese was super melty, the "spooky sauce" had a great flavor and the patties were cooked perfectly for me. The patties are also only 4oz, so the burger was easy to eat (I thought) but it still packed in so much indulgent flavor. The fries were also great. They came with a garlic mayo and ketchup for dipping. I ordered for delivery and the process was easy. Couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes from order to my doorstep. I also found that it delivered well. I've had some soggy burger and fry situations lately, but this was not the case. Overall, I'm thrilled I found this place. Price point is good, cheaper than I'm used to even (about $14/15 for a double and $4 for the fries), and the food really hit the spot. It's definitely going to be a go-to burger spot for me from now on! read more

I am always on the lookout for a great new burger place as part of my quest to find the best burger(s) in the DC area. Unfortunately, Ghostburger disappointed. We ordered the BBQ burger, the LTA burger, and the crinkle cut fries. Both of the burgers included items that were not listed on the menu - the BBQ burger had pickles and the LTA burger had some sort of sauce, both of which were detrimental to the burgers. The patties were nothing special (decently seasoned, but a little thin and dry) and not worth the price. The red pepper relish on the LTA burger was quite good though. My review would have been two stars if it hadn't been for the fries - those were really good. They were well seasoned and had a good texture (thick yet still crispy). read more

You did Good Ghostburger- you did good! My husband and I were craving a burger so I yelped and ended up here- we ordered 2 ghost burgers and a steak and cheese to split. The steak and cheese was eaten in the car on the way back to Fairfax and it was goood! Juicy steak, crusty but soft bread and oozing with cheese! The burgers were also excellent and hit the craving spot! read more

My boyfriend wanted a cheesesteak so I decided to get on Yelp and find a decent one in the area. I found Ghostburger, and for a soft opening the food was decent, having just opened 2 days ago. We were greeted at the door by our server. I had the ghostburger with bacon. Burger patty was pretty dry and over cooked, but the spooky sauce was flavorful with a kick. The burger was pretty small for the price. The Philly fries were decent. The cheese sauce came on the side. Not something I'd want to pay $13 for again. Finally, the cheesesteak was amazing! There was just enough cheese whiz and plenty of flavorful ribeye on the soft bread. Honestly if I were to go there again, I'd get the Ribeye Cheesesteak. Service was fast and friendly! I wish I got our server's name. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help with modifications since we decided to order online. Remember to tip your servers!!!!! read more

I've gotten ghost burger for take out a few times now and it has always been great- super juicy burger and I love their various options for toppings and styles so it's guaranteed to fit what you like! Would love to try more and eat in soon. Definitely a top tier burger in DC. read more

Wow! This place is so convenient for me. The beef tasted like cotton candy. I had the Ghostburger with all the fixings. Usually after eating beef, I'd feel lethargic but with this, I assume grass fed option, I was good to go. I felt like I had a Turkey burger or something. $15 for an 8oz burger without fries or a drink and without any napkins or cutlery is rather pricey to me. However, I will say that this burger was 10x better than some of the pricier options Ive tried in the area (Capital Burger $23‍). read more

Came in on a Wednesday night at around 9 pm. Got the ghost burger and added bacon for 12$ and got the BBQ burger with no add ons for 11$. Restaurant does look nice to sit down at with the pink ambience neon lights. Little pricey for just a burger and they did not have any combos or specials. Ghostburger could have been better with a little more sauce or seasoning. Bbq burger was really well made. Overall a 7.5/10 read more

It was so good I didn't even have time to take a photo. Nom, nom, nom. It's always impressive when the delivery comes hot and like it was just taken off of heat. I got La Hamburgesa and was so impressed. I don't even usually like burgers but I was in the mood for fries. The mention of Oaxacan cheese got me hooked and I have to say I would have gotten the double patty if I knew this burger would taste so flavorful and juicy. Their ketchup and garlic mayo was tasty. I will definitely bookmark and keep Ghostburger in mind for future nights when I don't have the energy to cook but still want something satisfying and delicious. read more

Get rid of the rude ppl who work for you. Worst telephone experience ever. Completely unfriendly and hung up when I asked a simple question about ordering over the phone (which they don't allow) and got hung up on. Will NEVER be eating here sorry!!! (Someone reached out to me to apologize) PS they DO accept phone orders. I'll update my review when I actually try the food) read more

Another Instagram restaurant. Love the pink aesthetic, service is 10/10 but the burgers were mid. I think they got an amazing concept for their burgers and can improve a lot so I give it a 3 if you are craving a burger + fries and need to take friends/family to a cool spot this is a place they'll like. Ambiance is nice, it's a located in a good area of NW as well. I'll have to return and try another burger and maybe change my review on Ghost Burger! read more

Burger was amazing! One of the best I've ever had. I had the broccoli rabe a few years ago but the burger was way better

As someone who's getting into photography, the theme is super cute! The color in the restaurant is so vibrant, the bar area and retro photos on the wall combined very well. I had the classic ghostburger with fries.. DELICIOUS. I'm not from the area so I thought pricing was a bit high, but I haven't had a burger that well done in a VERY long time so no complaints on that! We arrived around 9:40pm and left in less than an hour. The service was amazingly fast and the cook, I believe, personally delivered the food to our table. Super kind and friendly. read more

Excellent food in Washington DC. Don't be turned off by the name or the location. The dishes are mouthwatering. Burgers taste like they just came off your uncle's backyard grill. Plus there are crispy chicken sandwiches and some of the most delicious Fresno wings. The Mac n cheese is Vegan but you would never know it. It tasted like macaroni mixed with the sharpest cheddar and a dry havarti. But actually the whole thing is made with nut milk. Finally, the prices were CHEAP considering you're eating a scrumptious meal in DC. Go there or I'll Ghost ya! read more

Stumbled across this little gem while casually looking through the Uber Eats app. The name sounded pretty neat so I decided it was a must visit in my short stay in DC. I am so glad I did. My coworker and I arrived late afternoon so there was no wait. Everyone was friendly, patient, and attentive. Wait time was very minimal. Everything we ordered was delicious! If I found myself in DC again, I would absolutely return. There are other items on the menu I'd love to try. read more

We ordered The Reubenesque and the Ghostburger. Not gonna lie, we were surprised how small they were. We got single patty, so you might think twice before ruling out the double patty. The single is a 4oz patty (for reference, the smaller patty at Big Board is 6oz). We were fine with small portions because we planned to indulge later on dessert. Both burgers were tasty and cooked well. The buns were nothing special (and small again). Overall the Ghostburger reminded me of Shake Shack, especially on portion size. Crinkle Cut fries were nothing special...I think they really needed salt. We also got the Chocolate Cookie and the Peanut Butter Cookiewich. Both were good but we liked the PB better...probably not a fair comparison since it has a filling. Not a heaping portion of filling, so don't be intimidated by a cookie sandwich. It's the better value compared to the other cookie. read more

Recently my husband, my three year old, and my one year old came here for lunch. It's always a challenge going out to eat with two toddlers but we felt at ease at ghost burger. The inside is super fun with all the pink decor. We quickly placed our orders and the most delicious food came out. I ordered the wedge salad with a side of fries and my husband got the ghost burger with fries. Everything was cooked to perfection and my husband, who loves a good burger but also will quickly criticize a bad one, said it was one of the best he had. read more

Tasty, tasty burgers. Miss of a quick serve type spot. The ability to bills your own burgers was great.

@theskinnifoodwhore raved about this popular @ghostburgerdc 's cheesesteak. So I had to try them out, Me & @chevyurfave headed up 9th street to find out it's @espitadc that serves them. The cheesesteak is by far one of the best we ever had. Also we tried the ghost burger and the Frenchie, both of which were really good; but, the cheesesteak was really the star of this show. Oh I almost forgot we got some cheese bacon Fries which I presume is the same cheese sauce that's on the cheesesteak and boy does it slap. We'll surely be going back and sending anyone who wants a good cheesesteak as well. read more

This place is an absolute scam. While the ambiance is cool, the food prices are absurd for the amount you actually get. I got a drink and a burger and it was $30 (including the mandatory tip they gave themselves for walking it out from the kitchen). The burger was no bigger than a sand dollar and it didn't even come with a side. I was hungry- so I got a double - and even that didn't come close to satiating my hunger. I would rather eat a condiment-less Big Mac from McDonald's with sandpaper as the buns than come back to this terrible establishment. Will not return. read more

Came this place in an Uber because my son wanted a burger. This spot looked pretty good. Too bad the hostess was really rude and shun us off. She said they didn't have any room for us and waved her hand off toward the street saying we can go to the restaurant over there. Very disappointed. And frankly....I'm pissed off. I can take my money somewhere else. read more

Great cheesesteak but a bit overpriced. I got the $15 one, which was good, but if you want a really stuffed sandwich, opt for the $20 (which seems way overpriced). Anyway, the onions had good flavor, the bread soaked up just enough of the juices, and the cheese was deliciously melty. The crinkle cut fries had good seasoning but if you get them delivered, they will be a soggy mess. The garlic aioli is dynamite, I think I had dreams about it. The ghostburger was really good, extra cheesy and juicy. I got the double patty, which was just enough, but a single seems like it would be pretty small. The spooky sauce on it was a lot, kind of drowned it, but provides great flavor. Finally, the oatmeal cream moon pie. Yum! Surprised by how soft, creamy, and delicious this was. read more

DoorDashed this tonight and can't say I was particularly impressed. The cheesesteak was fine. Definitely would not call it a "real" Philly cheesesteak. They were rather skimpy on the cheese and onions. The fries were a little soggy, but at least the cheese dip was good. The biggest disappointment was the dessert. We got the rice krispy treat with chocolate topping. The rice krispy treat is stale and cost me $10. Don't waste your money. I hate being disappointed by dessert. read more

What a great place! Beautiful but cool day, we got heated outdoor seating and thoroughly enjoyed Cheesesteak sandwiches and delicious seasoned fries! Really liked their online ordering system that was quick and easy to use. read more

Ghostburger is a pop up burger place near downtown DC with pretty good sandwiches and burgers. I ordered on ubereats for delivery and got a basic single ghostburger and crinkle fries on the side. The ghostburger was pretty delicious but a little messy to eat. The flavors were really delicious and I liked the cole slaw that was added. The fries were cold by the time they got to me, but overall the meal was really delicious and I'll definitely eat their burgers again. Next time I might not get it delivered and do carry out so I can guarantee that the food is still hot by the time it gets to me. read more

My undersized burger had no flavor (aka no seasoning) Burger patty was blah. Only ate 1/2. The fries were much better.

I ordered food for pickup here. I'm only giving 2 stars because the servers were really nice. I got the wings, fries, and chicken philly cheese steak. Out of the 3 food items, the wings were the best. Not too spicy but the flavor was flat. The fries are next. They were cold and felt soggy like they had been sitting out for a while. And the chicken philly cheese steak was what 2 people recommended to me by workers there and it was disgusting. I only took 2 bites and the 2nd bite was forced. Threw the whole sandwich away. I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use it in, but it almost tasted soapy or highly processed and just wrong all together. I'm sad because I was really looking forward to eating at a fresh new spot, and the whole experience was disappointing. It took all of 5minutes from ordering to getting my food. At first I thought it was a good sign, but once I tasted everything, it let me know it had all just been sitting out and ready to go before I had even ordered. Not a place I'll recommend to anyone. read more

I am staying at a hotel right near this location and was looking for something to eat that was a safe distance to walk to. Ghostburger was fantastic. I ended up coming in twice during my week stay. I got a Ghostburger with bacon and onion rings my first visit and a Crispy Chick sandwich with a wedge salad the 2nd trip. I also got a chocolate chip cookie on the 2nd trip. Everything was SO good. The buns are soft and buttery. The pickles are fabulous. Everything was definitely fresh. I love the vibe here. Cute decor and whimsical with the hot pink touches. The wait staff don't leave you waiting for anything. As soon as I sat down both visits you get a large glass pitcher of ice cold water. As you clear your plate, the staff clear your table efficiently but never made me feel rushed. I ate alone both nights and sat reading on my Kindle. GET A COOKIE!! read more
