    Jalapeño bacon cheeseburger
    Dave T.

    Decent burger good price. I got the jalapeño bacon burger. The food was fresh the person taking the orders was friendly. Place was clean and didn't have to wait long. I would recommend this place if you want a fast decent burger and your by nationals park.

    This was my first time ever eating at Swizzler Crispy Chicken and Smash Burger, and honestly... I wasn't even supposed to get this order. I had ordered Wise Guys on Uber Eats, and this showed up instead and I am SO glad it did. Whoever originally ordered this got a bacon jalapeño burger and a spicy chicken deluxe. The jalapeño burger was a 10/10. I'm not even big on peppers, but it had the perfect amount of jalapeños, great flavor, and was just really well done. I passed that one to my friend, and I took the chicken sandwich. The spicy chicken deluxe was incredible. Perfectly crispy, great sauce, and I'm pretty sure it had bacon on it, which just took it over the top. Everything worked together so well, and I was honestly upset that I hadn't known about this place sooner. The fries were also really good, crispy and plentiful. They remind me of Five Guys fries, but honestly? This felt like a better version of Five Guys overall. I don't even know what the price was, but I can confidently say I would pay good money for both the smash burger and especially that chicken sandwich again. The best part? This place isn't even far from my house, so this is officially my new burger spot. Sorry to whoever lost their order,but thank you for putting me on. I'll definitely be back.

    Very solid burger meal option for 20 dollars. You can tell every thing is fresh and made in house. Def want to come back and try their spicy chicken nuggets as well. I came during the lunch rush and they got food out quickly and with good quality and care. My one comment and where they lose a star is the man behind the counter was just the worst. Obviously hates working here and was rude in every interaction he had that I saw. All other employees were nice so maybe they should consider retraining him for the grill instead of front of house.

    Great good burgers are good and the chicken was also good but the frys had way to much salt. Restaurant could be a bit cleaner though just saying. Price was a bit up there for burgers. But they do taste good.

    TL;DR Swizzler is another Chicken & Burger spot with all the feels of a Shack Shack but better. If you're in the area it is the number option for a quick cheap bite instead of in Nationals Park. My wife and I planned and decided to go here before we hit the Breezy Bowl, and I'm glad we did. We knew going in it was going to be just like other quick service burger joints but we were surprised how good it was compared to Shake Shack. You can't go wrong with a burger of Chicken Sandwich but I'd prioritize the Chicken Sandwich over the burger for sure. It was seasoned really well and the nice crunch and was tender and juicy. The service was decent and did a great job handling the slight rush of folks getting food before the show. It didn't feel like we waiting long at all for our food but it was hot and fresh. The inside was very regular not special at all, and kept decently clean. The bathrooms could've been better everything was out TP and paper towels but I'll give them a little bit grace given there was an event.

    No seed oils, woohoo!! Burger was very good and give it an 7.5/10, very solid burger. Best in DC? I'm not sure about that one. Everything is made to order and ready in about 5 minutes. Their signature sauce is great! Crispy chicken sandwich was fresh and also good but their burger was a bit better, 7/10! Fries were really good, cooked in avocado oil, 9/10 in my books! There's about 5 booths in the restaurant then some bar style seating near the front entrance

    Craving for some juicy burger so I decided to order a delivery from Swizzler. Ordered the Standard American which comes with two patties, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and a side of fries. I think this burger would be better eating as soon as you order it. The delivery person was great but the food was warm not hot.

    Ordered the swizzler signature cheeseburger with fries and loved it! Great portions for both the burgers and fries and left plenty full. Made to order, so might be a little wait but it is def worth the wait. Would love to try the chicken next time to see what's that giving.

    If you're craving a burger this place got you covered. Checked Swizzlers out with the boys and we all agreed the burgers were legit. Had just the right amount of flavor with each bite, wasn't too greasy, their swizzler sauce pairs perfectly.. definitely satisfied the craving for sure and justified the price in my opinion. Personally the fries aren't the most memorable , they go well with the burger but by the time you're finished you may just forget about them. Its a small space that can get filled up quickly but we got lucky and managed to find a seat so be mindful if going in big groups. Overall its definitely a solid spot in Navy Yard to have in rotation.

    This is a pretty solid burger spot! For the price, the portion is really good. The fries are my fave kind, and I love that sauce that comes with. I got the signature burger and that was also good! The only reason it's not 5 stars and there are better smash burgers out there, but it's still good! The staff is nice and service is fast, overall a great little spot.

    I'm not sure how this place made the top 5 burgers in D.C. list because it's really *just* okay. The patties themself lack flavor and seasoning. The bun is to die for-- so buttery, soft, and a bit of sweetness. It was definitely the best part. The fries are delicious and came out piping hot. I also really loved the lemonade. But the star of the show, the burger, was bland and not memorable. Definitely not the best burger in Washington, D.C., at all.

    Solid spot for a casual burger and fries. I like how they use 100% grass fed beef and avocado oil for their fries. However, fries could be a bit crisper. Apparently there was a recent change in the menu but everything is pretty much still there. They also have a kids menu! It was my first time there and I saw the teamwork behind the counter. The employee who took care of me was very personable as well. Would come again.

    If going to a Nats game everyone said get your Swizzler here rather than pay stadium prices. Didn't know whether to go for chicken or beef. Went with the smashburgers and it was actually a pretty good smashburger. I went for the Swizzler Signature and my husband did the Bacon Jalapeño- he said mine was better. I liked the griddled onions and pickles plus I think there's chopped pickles in the Swizzler Sauce too. It all went together very well. The fries reminded me of Wingstop fries - they were good too. You get to pick a dipping sauce too with your fries, we tried their Spudz - which is like a fry sauce. Overall it was good meal, soda machine is behind the counter - but they do refills. The restaurant was just really warm though, didn't have the AC blasting or the kitchen heats the place up!

    Does this spot have gluten free options?

    Thank you for the question-they can serve the burger on a bed of arugula. Just ask for no bun and option for arugula. Enjoy!

    Are the vegetarian burgers/hot dogs prepared on a different grill than the meat items?

Surprisingly, it wasn't very busy for a Friday night near Navy Yard, which, in hindsight, may have been a sign. The service got off to a rough start. Valet parking was advertised, but no valet was present when we arrived. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone showed up. Once seated, it took quite a while for our server to introduce himself, check on us, and even offer water. We opted for the $30 unlimited drinks, which sounded like a great deal. Unfortunately, the bartender struggled with an Old Fashioned multiple times. The first drink had the wrong liquor, incorrect ingredients, and even the wrong ice. After another attempt, our server explained that the bartender was new, so he ended up making and pouring the drink himself. The food was a mixed bag. The jerk steak bites were disappointing, several of the six pieces were mostly fat, making the appetizer feel like a waste. The Brussels sprouts, which are cooked with okra, were anything but crispy. Instead, they were extremely slimy. The lobster pasta had good flavor, but it was swimming in so much oil you could have fried a batch of chicken. On the positive side, the chicken and waffles were delicious and easily the best dish we ordered. The sea bass, however, was just mediocre. To end the evening, we experienced another long wait. It took about 15 minutes for the valet to return, and then another 10 minutes to bring the car. Overall, Hen Quarter has a beautiful location and a lot of potential, but the inconsistent service and hit-or-miss food made for a disappointing experience. I really wanted to love it, but based on this visit, I wasn't impressed. I hope they can work through these issues because the restaurant truly has the potential to be something special.

It actually tasted pretty good, but we're paying a premium for the real deal here. 4) The fries I did get were cold and bland. 5) The sweet and spicy chicken fingers were very nice.

They make for a great appetizer to share with a group of 2-4 people or a perfect small meal if you're not looking for something heavy. Highly recommend giving them a try. Espresso Express - This is an interesting and creative take on an espresso martini. Instead of vodka, they use reposado tequila, which adds a richer and more complex flavor profile. The result is an outstanding cocktail and probably one of the top five espresso-based drinks I've ever had. Without question, this was the highlight of the meal for me. Busy - We arrived around 6:00 PM on a Saturday night during the summer and were pleasantly surprised to walk in and find seating for our group of eight. The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going throughout the evening, but the space is much larger than it appears from the outside, allowing it to handle the crowd well. Pro Tip: If you're on a date or hoping for an easier conversation, ask for seating in the side dining area. It is noticeably quieter than the main dining room and outdoor seating areas. Pro Tip: Don't judge the size of the restaurant from the exterior. The inside is surprisingly spacious and can accommodate larger groups better than you might expect.

Staff and atmosphere overall were great and it seems like it'd be a fun spot for happy hour or event nights.

We also got single orders of beef ribs and beef brisket, along with coleslaw and fries. The ribs were very good but priced high for the amount of meat. The brisket was a bit bland on its own, but a barbecue sauce that came in an unlabeled jar helped it out because that sauce was excellent, whatever it was. Coleslaw and fries both had good flavor and solid portions. Overall, not a bad experience by any means, but the portion sizes felt small for the money. If that's the standard, I can't fully recommend it based on that alone.
