Sami's Hot Dog Cart has great hot dogs because of a secret recipe!…read more Important: Please ignore the Yelp map which mis-places Sami's (as of Aug 2026). You will find it on C Street, which is the south face of the FAA building. If you search in web, all reviews that show photos or say "i am at Sami's" will put it on C Street, not on Independence Ave. Whew! That's been making me crazy. Now the dogs: Sami says he simmers them in a secret mixture of spices! Aha! This is why every dog and half-smoke here is better than the ones you make at home! Yes, there's all kinds of toppings, and i recommend the rich savory flavors of their home-made chili. But it's the secret spices that put this a step above. This ain't no Oscar Meyer. This is a Sami's dog!

It's my first time having a stuffed churro, and I'm ecstatic I found this place on a chilly night. There was a crowd waiting for their churros, and they technically had closed their ordering already; however, I asked kindly if I could order churros before they closed their curtain. The worker kindly let me! Churros are my soft spot for desserts! These were crunchy but also had a very creamy, smooth center. Found this place at the Christmas holiday market in DC, but they're normally at the Eastern market!

I don't do the breakfast ones because I'm just conceptually not a breakfast burrito guy. But the lunch burritos have nothing to envy any burrito in California, Arizona or New Mexico despite the protestations of some from SoCal or AZ who would never admit such a thing. The fresh squeezed lemonade is great too. The guys who run it are great. I order in Spanish. They're friendly. And they remember you. There's no protection from the elements eating there but that's the only downside.

While it sounds simple enough, I've actually had my fair share of less than yummy dumplings. I ran into Pinch at the City Center Farmer's Market and I knew that I had to give them a try. They were serving an assortment of vegan and meat dumplings. Being the carnivore that I am, I got their two meat options: chicken and asparagus and beef. Both came with a dumpling dipping sauce and an Asian slaw ($1 extra). While fried dumplings are always infinitely 100% better, I chose to get the steamed option in an attempt to be healthy. My freshly steamed hot dumplings were ready in less than five minutes and I excitedly split it with my husband. The quality in their product is evident: they hand roll their dough, grind their filling using local and organic ingredients, and pinch their dumplings daily. When eaten with their vinegary Asian slaw on top, it is a delicious combination. $19 for two orders is a bit pricey but to find quality, delicious dumplings it is worth the price!

My go-to is fully loaded: onion, chili, mustard, and relish. That's the move. I've worked my way through a lot of the menu, the hot dogs, burgers, bean soup, onion rings, and mac salad. The fries are a seasoned wedge fry, which was a nice surprise and a step up from your standard cut. A large sweet tea is the right call to wash it all down. I still haven't tried the breakfast sandwiches, but they're on my list for next time. This is the kind of longtime local spot that keeps you coming back. Worth a stop.

My go-to order is the pressed-flat chimney cone with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries. It's served hot, fresh, and makes the perfect afternoon treat. They offer a huge variety of toppings, so there's something for everyone, along with fresh juices and smoothies if you're looking for something to drink. My platter was around $13, which I think is a great value for the quality and portion. If you have a sweet tooth or are looking to try something different, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Lumier's is not far from Gordon Ramsey's Fish & Chips and the Pier. There are SO many choices (sweet drinks, juices, ice cream) but the chimney cake is the unique item to order. It is a dessert within a dessert. The chimney cake is delicious by itself. But you can have a variety of toppings placed inside - ice cream, fruit drizzled with caramel, crushed cookies & ice cream and other choices. You can enjoy dessert or a beverage while watching boats, the sunset or activities at the Wharf. It is the perfect place to grab a treat. Check instagram or the web site for hours. They are usually open late.

My Friendly, Neighborhood Food Stand…read more ****************************************** This is one of the ubiquitous food carts one sees throughout the city. The "staff" are friendly and they don't gouge you on prices. 35 cents for one of the old-school 5-stick packs of gum. Great-looking fresh fruit every morning. 50 cents for a banana and 75 cents for beautiful apples and oranges. Better quality than my local grocery store. Always happy to break a 20-dollar bill if that''s all I have. I hope they don't move. Will eventually try one of their hot dogs.

The menu is not your typical hot dog stand as you can get burgers, cheesesteaks, and a variety of sides and other items. Depending on when you stop by, there could be a line and the food is made fresh, so the wait might be longer than expected. However, the food is really good. I plan to stop by again soon to try other menu items.

We ordered two burgers -- the classic smash burger (lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese) and the BBQ bacon burger (grilled onions, bacon, and BBQ sauce) -- along with their famous cheesesteak combo. The cheesesteak came loaded with lettuce, jalapeños, tomato, and steak infused with peppers and onions, topped with Marky's-style cheese, plus seasoned fries and a soda. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I can't recommend this place enough -- especially knowing they're part of our local community. I've walked past this gem so many times without realizing what I was missing! It's tucked away in the Home Depot parking lot on Little River Turnpike, so don't sleep on it. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the entire menu.
