Great burger , great service and actually better than i expected! I like this place better than shake shack plus the aesthetic inside is so cute! I have to try the chicken sandwich if the burger was that good! 9.3/10

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

First time at Hank's Oyster Bar in the Wharf in DC. Restaurant is a relaxed place right on the…read morewaterfront with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is seafood focused but also includes burgers, pasta, and more. I had the crab cake sandwich with Old Bay seasoned fries. The crab cake was filled with crabmeat and little filler. It had a nice mayo sauce and the perfect potato roll that hold the crab cake. I'd give the crab cake a 4 out of 5 and would love to try the dinner. My partner had the Mac and cheese which was homemade with a sharp cheese flavor and broil perfectly on top. Hank's is a great little stop if you're on the DC wharf. I'll be back when I'm in town.

Very solid and enjoyable dinner spot on the wharf…read more Dozen mixed oysters (9.5/10) were super fresh, briny and delicious. Crab cake sandwich (8/10): tender, enjoyable but not revelatory. Hushpuppies: (9.5/10) piping hot, light, poppable. They were a hit! Chili carrots (9/10): damn good for a side of baby carrots: warm, sweet with just a touch of heat. Brussels sprouts (9.5/10): they do them right: nice char, well seasoned, packed with flavor. BBQ Oysters: 10/10: gigantic! Some of the biggest oysters I've ever seen, cheesy, with a nice broil. Served 6 to a plate. Service was friendly if a bit inattentive, because it was quite busy. We were glad to get a table outside on the patio to enjoy the views of the water and the warm weather (before all of the Canadian fire smoke came down). Very enjoyable dinner spot.

Basic Burger is new to the L'Enfant place food court…read more Online ordering was straightforward and efficient...and my order was ready within 10 mins for pickup. Full disclosure, I was getting my hair done nearby, and placed an online order because I was starving, and wanted a quick hearty bite during my deep conditioner hair treatment. I ordered a double cheeseburger (almost the same price as a regular cheeseburger), and a turkey burger for later. Also I ordered of regular fries, and sweet potato fries for my friend. I specified that they place their 'basic sauce' on the side, but they did not provide the sauce at all. And barely enough ketchup packets for my order. The burgers were both pretty good. The fries were tasty too. However, for the price, the place isn't all that. If you happen to be in the area, and you're in the mood for a burger, this place is good, but you can definitely find a better meal for much cheaper. I recommend, but only if you truly wanting a burger. They also offer veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches (grilled, fried, or other flavors), beyond (meat) burgers, fried fish sandwiches, and hot dogs.

Second time visiting this location. The description says it for itself, Basic Burger…read more Self-service kiosk for ordering. Food is grilled to order. It's a decent burger but a little high for what you get. Free refills on drinks. Plenty of seating throughout the food court but can get quite noisy at times.
