Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen: Our Father-Daughter Quest for Burger Greatness…read more My daughter and I were back on our mission to find the best burger spots in the DMV. This time, we chose Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen, mostly because their food pictures had us ready to risk our budgets and our diets. When we walked in, the menu surprised both of us. It was huge -- burgers, grilled cheeses, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes in bottles. My eyes immediately locked onto the desserts like they owed me money. I was so distracted by the sweets that my daughter had to take charge of the ordering. She knows how I get around sugar. After a few rounds of debate, we finally settled on: Lamb Burger Seafood Grilled Cheese Oreo Cookie Cupcake Snickerdoodle Cupcake Strawberry Shortcake While we were placing the order, I started talking to Naimah (hoping I spelled that right). I asked her if the food was good, and she hit me with a confident, energetic "YES." I told her if it wasn't, I'd be talking about her -- and she laughed like she knew she was safe. I could see the women in the kitchen working in their uniforms, focused and moving with purpose. That always gives me hope. Good food usually comes from people who look like they care. After a short wait, our food came out packed to go, but even through the containers, the aroma was strong enough to make us both hungry all over again. Everything passed the eye test -- visually perfect. We split both sandwiches.The Lamb Burger went first... and wow. It was beyond outstanding. I was blown away. My daughter isn't a lamb lover at all, but even she admitted it was really good -- which tells you how strong that burger was. This was clearly a homemade lamb patty -- juicy, seasoned, and paired with feta like it was meant to be. My mouth is watering again just thinking about it. Hands down the juiciest lamb burger I've ever had. Next was the Seafood Grilled Cheese. It was good, but something was missing. We added the sauce, which helped, but it still needed a little something to make it great. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The crab was lump, but it didn't stand out. My daughter said it needed a tomato to balance the flavors -- and honestly, she was right. A tomato might be the missing piece. Then came my favorite part: dessert. The Strawberry Shortcake was great, but I needed more whipped cream. That's just who I am. The cupcakes, though? Outstanding. Moist cake, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture, frosting that complimented instead of overpowering. They were the kind of cupcakes that make you close your eyes for a second. We'll definitely be back to Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen to try more things.And yes -- Naimah is safe. I don't need to name‑drop her in shame.

I found this place while I was visiting another business nearby…read more The name Yellow Bun and Chocolate got me. I thought it was a dessert place. But, I walked in and found that they actually have an array of savory items as well. First things first, it's carryout so no place to dine. But the service is awesome. I've been a few times and have gotten a different person every time and they have all been really helpful and kind. I met the owner the first time who recommended the Turkey Club as it's one of their headlining items and remarked that they serve all day breakfast as well. After trying a few items, I can say that they rarely miss. My favorites are: *Yellow Cupcake with Chocolate Icing. Pretty simple but it's my favorite type of cupcake and it never disappoints. *Brioche Bacon, Egg and Cheese. The eggs were fluffy, the sandwich was flavorful and filling. I've a had a few from different places and this is at the top for me. *Turkey Club. I have no complaints about this one. I've ordered it a few times and enjoyed it every time. It doesn't come with a side but you really don't need it. All in all, I'm a repeat customer so I order from them from time to time and have recommended them as well.

I tried this spot for burgers and fries, and it was pretty average overall. The burger itself was…read morefine, but it got a little soggy, so it didn't really stand out as anything special. The "holy sauce" was also pretty mid--I couldn't really figure out what the flavor was supposed to be. The highlight was definitely the seasoned fries. They were crispy, flavorful, and honestly the best part of the meal. Not a bad place overall but everyone in there said it was a great place they got to regularly

I love the street art graffiti style decor. There isn't a lot of indoor dining despite having the…read morespace to accommodate. There is also no public restroom which supports why the indoor dining isn't much. The food was hot fresh and made to order. I ate my food late so I unfortunately didn't capture a worthy photo to display in this review. I did order the spicy nuggets and fries. The chicken was well seasoned but the spicy has a delayed fuse which is tasty but will get you. I do like the crispy style fries. The service was friendly and what you'd expect along the lines of carry/take out. The dipping sauces are good currently the mumbo sauce was my favorite followed by the house mixture. 3.5 out of 5

Delicious gourmet sandwiches - the March monthly special veggie sandwich, The Truth hit the spot!…read moreThe sandwich shop is tucked inside The Gatsby hotel with only indoor solo seating on cozy bar stools with a window view and some outdoor seating in front of the stadium. It's primarily a take-out shop with a dozen or sandwiches and a few sides. The Truth veggie sandwich was bursting with flavor with sweet potato, crispy eggplant, juicy portobello mushoroom, and creamy lentil aioli stuffed between whole wheat bread. It was so good that I didn't even miss not cheese! Initially, I thought about adding cheese, but glad I didn't and stuck with the classic sandwich. By the time I made it through a couple of bites of the 2nd half of my sandwich, I was stuffed and didn't have any room or a craving for chips or fries that I typically get. It was a simple sandwich with quality ingredients made well. Crossing my fingers that the veggie The Truth sandwich stays on the menu and looking forward to coming back to try other sandwiches!

No matter where you get your favorite reuben (even if its nyc or brooklyn), this will unseat it!

I ordered a ham and provolone cheese sandwich and a mesquite chicken sandwich. I also bought a whole bag, yes BAG, of their chili sauce. They don't sell bottles. Both sandwiches were fantastic!! So fresh, so delicious, toasted, with the rosemary bread. The location is a bit sketchy, though not something the restaurant operators can control. Several people were hanging out in the parking lot, a police officer was asking illegally parked vehicles to move, and there was a lot of profanity from a group arguing with another group. A few cars were oddly parked, and some people were exchanging items with their driver's side doors open.

No matter where you are in the DMV, visiting this Quiznos is well worth it! P.S. Don't forget to grab a cup of their famous homemade raspberry lemonade! The crisp and tart flavor is the best!

I didn't care for the cole slaw. If it had more of the sauce it may have passed. It was extremely dry.
