    Great service, no wait in line, and high-quality food. I got the cauliflower bites with a side of sweet potato fries. They didn't feel greasy or oily. The taste was superb. The sauces helped the dishes build character and flavor. There's not a whole lot of seating inside, and the restroom was blocked, but overall a solid lunch spot.

    Nice fully vegetarian fast food. Good options, rotating menu, nice beverage options, clean. Tasty, fast. Delicious. A little pricey, but you always pay more for good food..

    The smokehouse burger with sweet potato fries and Sriracha aioli at HipCityVeg.

    Entering HipCityVeg after getting pleasantly lost during my evening DC stroll, I realized I was really hungry. In that state, I could only stare dumbly at the menu while standing at the counter. Everything looked like exactly what I wanted to eat. But I finally settled on the smokehouse burger: a Beyond Meat patty topped with onion rings and smoked gouda with a golden BBQ sauce. Extremely satisfying. The employee at the counter recommended the Sriracha aioli to go with my sweet potato fries, and I'm glad she did. It's sharp and savory and adequately balanced the sweetness of the fries, which were nicely crispy. I topped it off with a glass of their refreshing turmeric-tangerine beverage. This place is vegan, fast-casual burgers done right.

    Vegan fast food? Yes please! My friend and I split a couple of sandwiches, one crab cake and one chick'n. Both were fantastic! We actually got a Philly cheesesteak sandwich to go for the next day and it held up great too! Limited seating and quite busy, but overall really good!

    man I love this place. as a lifetime vegetarian, I was thrilled when I found out about this in philly a few years back. then they opened in dc and I couldn't wait to try it out. Their veg nuggets are crispy, flavorful and come with the best dipping sauces - i recommend the siracha aioli and hipcity sauce. The cauliflower nuggets are also delightful and bring a whole new flavor profile to fried foods. The fries- reg and sweet potato- are always up to par and allow for two dipping sauces! I think the veggie burger could use some work, at least consistency-wise, but my parents both love the meatball sub and ziggy burger. The delivery and takeout is usually pretty fast, but I also like to order there because the people are typically pretty friendly. the storefront itself is pretty small, only 4-5 places to sit and eat, but it serves its purpose if you wanna stay there to chow down. All in all, I'm thrilled that there's such a great veg place in town to put in a good word for meat alternatives! if you're interested in going veg or vegan, or if you're just looking for some fast food that feels a bit healthier, look no further!

    To be honest, I haven't much liked most of the mains that I have gotten here in the past. I gave the crabcake a try and it's pretty good. Absolutely drowned by sauce but other than that, tasty and a nice crispy exterior. It says crab on salad, but note that the salad is actually coleslaw

    If you're looking for healthy vegan comfort food, look no further! HipCityVeg is a fast casual spot with delicious food that'll boost your mood. I've had their breakfast sandwiches and am eager to return. Service is friendly and helpful. Try it out!

    It was nice to stop into HipCityVeg for lunch. I got a simple Chick'n sandwich but it was so delicious! This place is always on point for quick plant-based eating options! It was nice to eat here while I'm in town.

    Pretty tasty! We went around late morning on a Monday so no wait to order even though the lady taking orders may have lacked a little patience.... food came out pretty fast. I don't remember the name of my wrap but it was good. I didn't hear much from my partner because he didn't put the burger down. Also got the kale lemonade which was good. When I'm in the area I'll definitely visit again.

    I never got to try HipCityVeg in NYC before they closed, so I stopped in while visiting DC. The menu has burgers, sandwiches, nuggets, fries, shakes, and more, so they cover all the fast food bases but with everything vegan. We tried a bunch of different things, but my favorites were the nuggets (a little on the expensive side but excellent) and the ziggy burger (provolone, bacon, and special sauce). Their seasonal milkshake flavor when we visited was birthday cake, and this was a nice sweet treat. I wish they hadn't closed in NYC, because I really enjoyed our meal here.

    HipCityVeg is located on 7th and H street. A Philadelphia based restaurant that has made its way to DC, just one block away from Chinatown. It is in a small building, however, it has lots of charm. It is an all vegan restaurant that serves burgers, sandwiches, nuggets, shakes, and sweet potato fries. They also offer gluten free options. I ordered the spicy crispy burger and the wait was not so bad. You will be happy to know that the chick'n is made of organic grains including pea protein and ancient grains. Once I received my order I could not wait to make it disappear. I took one bite and quickly took another. It was a juicy burger and the cilantro lime slaw was wickedly delightful. The toasted bun was nice; the pickles and aioli were appreciated. It was definitely satisfying on numerous levels. I devoured it like a lady. Next time, I have my eyes on the Philly cheesesteak, oh maitake, the legendary fries, and one of the seasonal shakes. Everything here is never not vegan and everyone-friendly.

    HipCityVeg is a solidddddddd place in DC especially for veggie/vegan people! The atmosphere is nice and modern and the staff we nice and knowledgeable. But I do with the space was ALOT less cold lol and more seating space But the menu is the star of the show as it offers innovative and delicious options that redefine what vegan cuisine can be. From the crave-worthy steak and cheese to the refreshing fruit punch and kale lemonade and the crunchy french fries. Each bite tasted like meat that and really wanted to try the other items on the menu. The commitment to sustainability it's also respectable, with eco-friendly packaging and and trying to use organic items. The only struggle is the high price but it was pretty worth it and is expected for DC Whether you're a dedicated vegan or just exploring plant-based options, HipCityVeg is a must-try

    Perfect place for a quick bite as a vegan/vegetarian. The sauces are insanely flavorful and the burgers are great. I would say they were a bit overcooked, but everyone's preference is different. The lemonades were also very worth the hype!

    I want to go vegan, is this a good place to eat?

    This is the perfect place to eat! All of their ingredients are vegan, and they have gluten-free options, too!

    What is the "chick'n"?

    It is a chicken substitute. Most likely a soy protein or other vegan meat alternative. Their buffalo chick'n sandwich is SO good, you almost can't tell it's not meat.

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.

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes!

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. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!
