However I definitely enjoyed the food here! They're known for the egg sandwiches. I had the animal, which was a sandwich of egg, cheese, hash brown, and sausage and I really enjoyed it! I also had tater tots on the side too

The eggs are sooo fluffy and so is the bread. Absolutely dreamy. I live for a good, crispy tater tot and theirs are the best! The amount of food you get for the price is actually pretty great too! Service is quick and helpful. The place was clean and seating is a little quirky but seems like most people just order takeout.

Jeeeeeeeezus... how did we not plan this better? So a…read morecouple of friends and I spent the day doing the full tourist thing at the Smithsonian National Zoo - walking miles, chasing pandas, melting in the sun - and by the end of it we were DONE. Hungry, tired, slightly delirious. We just needed somewhere close to sit, eat, and recover like normal humans again. Literally crossed the street and landed at Duke's Counter... and wow, what a save. First off, the vibe hits immediately. It's got that lively, slightly chaotic energy (in a good way), like everyone there just escaped the zoo too and is ready to refuel. We grabbed a table outside for people-watching, and honestly, that alone was part of the experience. Food?? Let me just say this: if you're even thinking about getting the burger... stop thinking and just do it. I got the Proper Burger and it was one of those meals where you go quiet after the first bite because your brain is trying to process what just happened. Juicy, messy, flavorful in every bite--no notes. You can tell they take that "best burger in DC" claim very seriously. We also ordered the elote to start, which was exactly what we needed after sweating all day--salty, creamy, a little tangy, just hitting all the right spots. One of my friends got a sandwich (I think it was the Cubano situation) and it was HUGE. Like, borderline "should we have shared this?" huge. Only minor thing--the fries were fine. Not bad, just not on the same level as everything else. But honestly, when the burger is that good, I'm not losing sleep over fries. Service was friendly, even with how packed it got. You can tell they deal with zoo crowds all the time, so they keep things moving without making you feel rushed. Random side note: after we got back and were still in "treat yourself" mode, we ended up ordering from Pressure Deliveries--clutch move to keep the chill vibes going after a long day out. Highly recommend pairing the two experiences if you're making a full day of it. Overall, this place felt like exactly what we needed without even planning it. Great food, fun energy, perfect location if you're doing the zoo or just exploring the city. Would I come back? 100%. Would I walk another 5 miles at the zoo just to justify eating that burger again? ...also yes

Just finished a late lunch here with my kiddo on a Sunday afternoon. Not terribly busy, plenty of…read moreopen tables at arrival. Server came by, not so much as a greeting or introduction, just a short, "do you know what you want?" Fine - no problem. We ordered two avocado toasts and side of fries to share. Now, the menu clearly says the avocado toasts are served with a "runny egg". Ok sure, no problem. 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 server comes by gives me the clunky machine, I tap and put it down, he reaches for it and I say, it's processing, I still have to sign...and then he starts snapping his fingers...WHAT IN THE ACTUAL €¥($ ARE WE DOING RIGHT NOW?!? Never again. Never, again.

The condiments were a bit of a let down. I ordered onions on mine and I got one small onion on my burger. It had far too much lettuce as well.

Wagyu beef I was hoping to notice a significant difference and I was sure that the fries would be great. Boy was I wrong. The patty is flat and you can barely taste it over here sauce that is over the burger with the chopped tomato and onion. It's a good thing I got a double or I wouldn't have noticed any meat on the burger. The fries were pitiful. Tasteless, no salt and a super waste of $5. The only positive is that the food was ready in about 5 minutes or less so the service was good.

Absolutely love!!…read more Such a great concept, fresh burgers with a plush, toasty potato bun that your teeth just sink into perfectly. Crispy edges on the wagyu meat, so juicy. I tried both the original and the papaya salad toppings. Papaya salad topping 4.5/5, I love how crunchy the mixture is, super sweet with a slight pickled taste that cuts through the richness so well. I'm big on texture and this had all the crunch I was looking for. OG burger toppings 5/5, I love how the veggie toppings are finely chopped and tossed in their burger sauce. It tastes so delicious and you get a bit of every veggie in each bite, which is so smart and honestly amazing. I've always hated when tomatoes slide around or when you have to wait to find a pickle in your burger, this made every bite perfect. Fries were pretty standard but came with the same burger toppings. I wish they mixed it up and offered more Filipino inspired toppings or different sauce options because it's the same burger sauce that's in both the papaya salad burger and the original. It can get a bit of flavor fatigue. I know they offer other sauces for purchase, but it would be nice if those were included on the fries too for some variety. And yes, the ube soft serve is worth it. Yes x100, get it. So creamy and rich. I didn't realize how much I missed ube, oh my gosh. Aaand the restaurant is super casual. Only bar seating around the edge of the restaurant. Not a very good place to sit formally or invite a lot of people to because it's quite tiny I guess. Also had such cute art around the walls. Love!!

I decided to give this place a try after seeing it on social media. It was very busy, but the staff…read morekept things moving, and the wait wasn't long. The space is on the smaller side, and the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for us. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really stand out, and we personally wouldn't return. The kids also didn't enjoy the ice cream, although I know it's a unique flavor that may be more of an acquired taste. One thing I did appreciate was what came with the kids' meal--it was a nice touch. Overall, while it wasn't a favorite for our family, others may enjoy it more depending on their tastes.

I did wish they gave a little more time between the bread/salad course and the main course, since I didn't have enough time to finish my salad. The sauce is delicious and the fries were nice and crispy. Wish dessert came with the meal for that price. The steak is definitely very low quality -- there were so many pieces that were too tough for me to even cut, let alone eat. Since they give you an extra serving, I had enough steak to eat, but it just felt like such a waste to have this giant pile of inedible steak on my plate. There was probably 3/4 of a serving of steak that wasn't so tough it was inedible, so might not have been enough of a serving for others.

It was really hard to flag them down for refills, etc. Medium Rare is a great brunch spot for the spring/summer time! Their outdoor patio is my favorite spot to be seated albeit they pack the tables like sardines. The steak frites with the peppercorn sauce is a must try. I'm not even a steak person, but as a saucy person, I love for this meal. The French toast is also crispy on the outside, yet soft and moist internally. It's the perfect balance of textures.

My first time trying Uyghur food- everything was delicious! So many great options for vegetarians…read more We got the: - Kawa Goshnan (fried bread stuffed with butternut squash, onions, red and green bell peppers): So good! Loved the flakiness of the dough and subtle sweetness of the veggies. - Korma chop (fried noodles with chives, onions, red bell peppers, and tofu): Noodles had a nice chewy texture. I got the Hot spice level and wish I'd gone down a level to get a better taste of the dish's original sauce. - Mango doghap: Reminded me of mango lassi. Not too sweet and pleasantly tangy. The desserts, though, were maybe my favorite part of the meal. All had the perfect amount of sweetness: - Kazandibi (Turkish milk pudding with a caramelized, slightly burnt bottom layer): Really liked this pudding. - Honey cake: Ugh the honey with the soft cake with the whipped cream = actual heaven. - Dolan cake (Homemade puffed pastry with Walnuts, Buttery cream filling, and a Chocolate drizzle): Also really good! Very different than the other desserts given the crunchiness and butteriness from the puff pastry and walnuts. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is really nice, I enjoyed viewing the traditional art pieces. Also, super convenient because it's literally right next to the Red metro line. 10/10 would recommend!

The staff are very friendly and attentive. There is Uyghur art of different types throughout the restaurant, which has two levels.

The beef begins with a subtle flavor and then builds with every bite. I asked for medium heat on my korma (the noodle dish). It was delicious and spicy. I hope to try the Dolan pot of tea, if I am blessed to be in this area again. Dinner was truly lovely.

The fries still taste like potatoes and have a rustic cut- they remind me of really good Five Guys fries. And the lemonade was not too sweet but so flavorful. I got the beltway box with a slider, which felt like a whole sandwich. It includes fries, sauce, and a drink for $12. I'd love to come back and try a sandwich with a specific flavor combo, since the slider just had pickles on it. My only complaint is that the inside of this location was a little run down. The chairs had obvious dirt marks on them and the interior felt hollow. Once you start eating, though, you won't care!
