Fun interior with just a few indoor tables (maybe 12 or so) and an outdoor seating area. My table ordered an appetizer of the nuggets. They were more like boneless wings, but still very good and extremely flavorful. Just a little bit spicy though. I ordered the OG bun with a runny egg, and it was very good. Overall, I had a very good experience, but I feel as though I was disappointed that the burgers did not come with fries. That seems like it should be a staple of a burger place! read more

$21 for one of the worst burgers I've had in recent memory. I don't understand how it's even possible for a burger to have so little flavor. 0 salt. Extremely mid. read more

Wow‼ Where and how do I start such a challenging review. We visited the Union Market location on 6/23/24 we went to Union Market specifically to try Lucky Buns. We have tried a great deal of restaurants in Union Market and even Eastern Market and Baltimore Markets small Markets like Old Greenbelt and College Park. Safe to say we are well endowed in the market scenario lol. Our experience we endured was very concerning to me and my 4 teenage sons who were super excited we were going to try Lucky Buns for the first time We always take pictures and videos before ordering for memories sake and to post and tag the business to increase community relationships. As we were taking photos a man that later announced himself as the manager asked to see the photo. I showed him the photo in excitement and even said to him "money shot" a term used in photography to praise a nice photo. He said to me "are you taking photos of me" I was in complete shock as the photo clearly captured the FOOD‼ (fries, burgers, grill etc) He was definitely not the frame of focus lmao I explained my objective to him. He demanded that I erase the pictures. I did erase the pictures and did not make a purchase. His demeanor along with body language and emotional state gave me the impression that I was not welcome at Lucky Buns. My sons were embarrassed and very upset at the treatment we had received. They insisted that we find somewhere else to patronize it was clear that we weren't appreciated. Lucky Buns your manager had a problem with paying customers taking photos of your food to share on social media. Thats seemingly odd. No worries we took our appetite to establishment that didn't mind us sharing our experience on social media. Tread lightly when at lucky buns not everyone is treated equal‍ read more

Lucky Buns - Here i am pulling up to Union Market 6/23/24 my sons have arrived and are waiting for me to park our Slingshot - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have been meaning to try out this spot for the longest time ever and finally got the opportunity to do so today (after living in DC for 4 years)! The burgers were absolutely delicious and the meat was the juiciest ever. We ordered takeout hence they may not seem as good as they are in photos. Lucky Bun comes with two patties and it would be good to order two burgers and split them into half with someone else so that you get to try more items on the menu! One can also never ever go wrong with a fried chicken burger. Would love to try the store at union market one day. read more

I'm a little late on writing this review, but this place is really good! They do use creek stone patties, so their beef is halal! I got the OG bun and it was so good. Their mocktails are really good too. This place had good vibes and the service was excellent, the waiter was able to make some good recommendations. I highly recommend to all those in the DC area. read more

Did a pick up order on Saturday night. Let's start with the highlights. The food was ready very quickly. When waiting the couple minutes to get it every single person who worked there stopped and asked if I had been helped. The food was hot. The flavor was OK. Low lights: The fries had no seasoning. Not a single flake of salt. The burger was beyond greasy. The bottom bun essentially disintegrated with all the oil. Over all unimpressed. I was disappointed bc I really enjoyed their stuff from Union Market. It was significantly less greasy there. read more

Excellent burgers. Perfectly crispy fries. Had El Jefe and added runny egg. My son tried the chicken sandwich. Two thumbs up. Very close to Washington Hilton. Nice servers even though it was busy Sunday. We sat outside read more

First, let me say the food was absolutely delicious. It's like each burger was crafted with the intent to make your palette more refined. Price was actually better than most DC restaurants especially in the area. Service was great, not overbearing but caring about delivering a great experience. The general ambiance is very cozy, lots of unique things to see and the disco ball is fun. Over all great place for a great price. read more

Small casual semi intimate setting. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. You can walk in and seat yourself or outside if there is a table available. Waiter comes right over immediately with a menu. I ordered regular fries and the Bogan burger. Basically a bacon cheeseburger with jam. All burger sandwiches come with 2 patties. They are also cooked medium rare unless you state otherwise. I needs my burgers well done and that's how they came out. Nice and juicy. The Is was definitely a multi napkin sandwich but it was soooo good. The fries were excellent and crispy just how I like them. Not sure what type of sauce came with the fries but it was amazing. Parking is not too ideal. All street parking in the area. read more

We decided to try this place out for the first time after the rock 'n' roll, DC marathon. Will, our server was amazing, professional, friendly, and even made some recommendations. Worded a couple of burgers and table fries with a few meals. If you're trying to decide on a place with lots of flavor and burgers that are huge and filling. This is the spot! read more

Lucky Buns! I Love You! We Were Just Visiting DC And Wanted To Check Out The Local Food Scene And Headed Over To Union Market. The Vibe Was Casual Or Sure With A Lot Of Outdoor Seating And It Was Very Busy! Union Market Has SO Many Food Options But Something About Lucky Buns Made Us Stop By! The Service Was Fast And Our Burgers Were HOT! Our Total For 2 Burgers And 1 Order Of Fries Was About $50 A Little More Pricey But Worth Every Penny! The Burgers Were Fresh, Seasoned Well And The Cheese Fries Were Crispy And Savory In All The Right Ways! I Cant Wait To Visit Again! read more

Genuinely such an amazing spot, some of the best burgers i've had with even better service. Noah, the G taking care of me, truly made my visit unforgettable. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone, and thank you again for the amazing hospitality and experience read more

Food was absolutely amazing, service was great, and the fries were amazing, would rate 20 stars if I could. Lighting could have been better but it's still a vibe. read more

Awesome burgers and a good selection of fries. Nice casual atmosphere with a relaxing vibe. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. They don't rush parties, either. read more

Beer, burgers and FRIES. Great atmosphere! Table agreed unanimously that the fries were some of the best we have ever had!!

Their online hours state they close at midnight on their site. My friends and I got there at 11p and it was closed, lights off on a Thurs evening. Unsure of what time they closed but it was not raining when we arrived and does the business not have heat on the inside?? This is an indoor establishment? read more

Went there late on a Sunday night, the food came out quick. The fries were good and in a large batch that the table could share. My wife had the chicky bun sandwich and she said that the chicken tasted like frozen chicken. I had the patty melt on recommendation. The burger was good but i regretted not getting an actual burger on a bun. My son got a bogan bun and he said it was good. The servers were friendly. The place had a tropical-ish theme and good vibe. Overall, not a bad place but I'd probably only go back for a burger. read more

We had gone down to The Wharf and happened upon Lucky Buns to satisfy our craving for a good burger. We were greeted by a polite hostess and were led out to the heated porch. Our hostess was placing our menus down and talking to us when a server (who ended up being our server, started talking over us and the hostess telling her to get a drink menu for one of his tables. Didn't sit too well with me as she was doing her job already by assisting us. The food waa great. Burgers cooked just right and the serving of fries you get when you order fries is huge! Def get the queso fries! read more

We had such a wonderful late night experience in AdMo on Friday! From the music, the food, to the service! The bartender Jenny the manager Shante were truly GEMS! 10/10 read more

A classic millennial-run, overpriced burger place with uncomfortable chairs where they try and sell you on "vibes."

Came highly recommended. Got the chop cheese and chips n queso. I had 2 issues with my experience. The first was the price and the other was flavor. I believe prices are too high for the product received. The chopped cheese is a $10 sandwich elsewhere. The queso was different and I commend them for trying to think outside the box with theirs. I think over all both items lacked great flavor. Had I wanted a side with my sandwich, that would have been an additional fee. Sandwich, chips n queso totals over $30. read more

Excellent burgers. Double smash with any of the flavors they offer will make you happy. Make sure you order the Cajun seasoned fries. They are excellent!. read more

Amazing serverice service ! Quick and efficient and so yummy! Will was amazing in his promptness. Visited for the weekend and came to DC and found this easy to order menu and great atmosphere. Highly recommend this burger along with a pear mule . read more

What a cool burger joint, resting at the intersection of Florida & 18th! My friend and I decided to meet up with a fellow past co-worker who moved back to the city, and we had a great time! The weather was nice, so we grabbed a table outside, and it happened to be brunch time! The menu had quite the variety of burgers, including beef, chicken, and vegan options! It was a hard decision for me, so I had asked for the best beef and chicken option. The Bogan Burger was recommended to me, so I went with that! It was two beef patties, arugula, gouda cheese, bacon jam... it was just BOMB. And the price was reasonable too! I've never had to squeeze a burger so tightly in order to fit it in my mouth XD. I thoroughly enjoyed it though! Everyone at the table shared an order of fries that were good. The chill air made them dry and cool really fast though! And I got a mezcal paloma to drink with my meal. Next time I want to try a chicken burger, and maybe some proper brunch entrees! read more

Literally enormous, gigantic, stuffed burgers. For only around $16-18, for the amount of meet you get -- I think it's a half-pound? -- I would consider this a steal. Boyfriend finished his burger, I finished half mine. We got fries for the table -- perfectly crunch, well seasoned, and I was able to take fries + my burger home for a second meal. My only gripe is that I don't particularly agree with charging extra for fries if the burger is already going to be this expensive. But I did enjoy the food a lot, especially the unique burger combinations + seemingly Asian twist on a lot of the menu items. Would recommend! read more

Love a good burger spot! The vibes were cool; very hip place! We live in Tyson's and my husband said it was worth the drive and he wants to go again soon. I should have followed his lead and got a burger, but I decided I wanted to try something new. I ordered the tandoori chicken which was grilled. It was good and flavorful, but looking back I think I should've gotten a burger. The curry fries...wow. I want to buy that curry sauce and use it on everything. It was so good!!! We'll definitely be back and definitely recommend y'all stopping by! I'll be getting my burger fix soon! read more

Came to hang with a friend who wanted to do outdoor dining! They have tables inside and outside, depending on what you want. We were looking for a place with outdoor seating and fans to keep us cool during the summer and this place worked out great. I got the lucky bun burger and fries with an orange crush and it was amazing! The burger comes with two patties and it devoured it! Definitely recommend. So delicious! read more

So many amazing things to say about this place! The location is great, the decor is fantastic, and they have indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of spots! Super cool spot. Our waiter was incredible, super friendly and attentive to our tables dietary restrictions. Food wise, they have gluten free fries and gluten free options. I had my meal on a salad base that was super yummy and worked so well with what I got! The drinks were also delightful! I got the Il Bandito and enjoyed it immensely! read more

Went for a dinner. Sat outside. Great ambiance. Service was great and loved our server. Food was decent.

Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon. First let me start with the fact that I'm not a fan of burgers. My party was looking for french fries and wings in particular and I will say they delivered. The service was ok. At one point, I wondered where are server was and if they would ever stop by to check on us. The ambiance was decent. Nothing spectacular. I wouldn't make a special trip there but I'm probably not the best judge seeing I don't love burgers and that's their specialty. read more

This place is all about burgers, but I usually seem to come here during happy hour, which goes a little longer than most places (until 7, I believe). Nice outdoor space with good people-watching on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. Happy hour has good drink deals and a few smaller versions of regular menu items, if I remember correctly. The mumbo nugs absolutely "slap" as the kids say. Think they're cooked in a sweet Thai chili sauce and come with mint leaves and cilantro and crushed peanuts. For someone who's spent a lot of time in SE Asia and whose favorite cuisine is Thai, I absolutely love these. Fries are big ol' steak/diner fries and come with a delicious vinegar cream kinda sauce. Last night I got a burger for only the second or third time and maybe I was especially hungry and/or the perfect amount of buzzed, or just happy to find a place still serving food at 10:00 on Thanksgiving weekend, but it was quite simply one of the best burgers I've ever had. I asked them to surprise me with their best chicken burger and they served up a "mumbo bun." It's the best burger I've had in DC for sure. I've heard a few people grumble about having to pay extra for fries, but the burgers are absolutely huge and have so much going on with them flavor-wise that I was glad I didn't order fries and could barely finish the burger on its own. I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years now and overlooked this place until recently. Now it's one of my go-to spots. Nice people working there, friendly service, and they knock the food out of the park. read more

Chicken was very crispy but lacked flavor. Wish the chicken was spicier or had spicer options but overall service was really good. read more

We had an awful dining experience. I have celiacs disease and made that known right when we sat down. They confirmed that the fries were fine and that there was no cross contamination and said that I could get any of the burgers on a salad. I eat half my salad when the manager comes out apologizing saying that there is soy sauce in the dressing and that it's not gluten free (which I clarified that I needed multiple times when ordering). They also charged extra for the salad which was not made clear. She brought out a different version but by that point I was already feeling sick and didn't want to eat anything. They comped my meal but not the rest of the table. I had to leave the dinner early and was sick and throwing all night. I've already cancelled weekend plans knowing I will be sick for at least 2-3 days. read more

My girlfriend and I were so hungry we forgot to take a picture of the food. Sorry people When we arrived the inside was busy and a large group got up, the staff immediately cleaned everything and sat us down. Same thing with the party of 2 behind us. The staff was soooo friendly. And the theme for this visit is fast. Like, shockingly fast. We ordered the lucky bun, royals bun and the queso and chips. We ordered our burgers cook through. It was still a little pink on the inside. For me that's fine. I suggest everyone order this unless you specifically something in the opposite direction. They only have 2 ways they cook their burgers. Queso was great. We were in DC for 5 days basically getting our Keith Lee on and this was our favorite place overall. 6 stars. read more
