    I ate a lot of z burger while in college. I'm glad there are more locations. For me the onion rings, cheesesteak, and ordering extra sauce is the move. I actually prefer z burger over 7th street burger that recently opened up. I even recommended z burger to my coworker and he ended up ordering it the same night I did. Food came out pretty quickly which is always a challenge with onions rings because they've always fried them fresh when I'd order them in person. Big fan of z burger, some of the pricing seems expensive now and this time the onion rings were a bit oilier than I remember. I still highly recommend it.

    About a 1-1.5: Z-Burger is a local D.C. burger chain with several locations. We had visited the one in Tenleytown years ago, so we were interested in trying out the new one that had just opened off of Pickett. The menu offers hand-crafted burgers, chicken sandwiches, vegetarian options (grilled cheese sandwiches and veggie (black bean) burgers), hot dogs, cheesesteaks, fries, onion rings, and hand-spun shakes & malts. Standard toppings include mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, fried onions, sauteed mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard; in terms of sauces, they have the Z-Sauce, BBQ, hot sauce, A1, honey mustard, mango mayo, and chipotle mayo. They also have the following free toppings available: raw onions, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, relish, banana peppers, crushed red peppers, sweet peppers, sauerkraut, honey mustard, pepper & salt, and Z-Seasoning. Premium toppings include onion rings, applewood bacon, fried egg guacamole, and potato chips. We came here for an early dinner, and we ordered: +a single Hamburger - with mayo, fried onions, raw onions, and jalapeno peppers; this came with a sesame-seeded topped bun; the burger itself was okay; it was juicy and a pretty simple burger +1/2 Fries & 1/2 Onion Rings - these were just not good - both the fries and the onion rings were just undercooked/under fried; the potatoes were raw, and the onions inside the batter were raw; they both looked so promising, as they portions were generous (came in two separate bags), and they were hand-cut and super large in size +a small soda - they have Pepsi products We also noticed that there was a menu that were offering various pizza by the slices; the staff told us that they'll come at a later time - interesting! I'm glad I was able to give this location a try, but I think I'd rather go to other burger places than return here again. There's a handful of seating inside - a couple of booths, a table, and a counter seating. Staff were friendly. Note that there's an automatic charge for bags on your receipt - make sure that if you don't require one, to let the staff know so that they can refund that to you - I just feel that it's super unfair to add on fees like that without letting the patrons know! Plenty of parking in the small plaza lot; just be aware of speeding cars (no Stop signs in the lot) and pedestrians. +undercooked fries/onion rings +automatic bag/packaging charge! +friendly staff +free parking in shared plaza lot

    This was my first time at this spot, wanted to try something new. The burger was okay but the portion of the fries were great. I will be back to try it again

    Regular Sized Fries - enough for 3-4 people.  It is a lot to share!

    Reminds me of Five Guys and all their elements. Clean spot but a small space for eating. Food was good and hot and not as disappointing as the other reviewers seemed to think IMO. 75 flavors of shakes is impressive but I did not try. Even though we ate in, they charged a $2 packaging fee. I can see supplies being wasted on a daily. No complaints from me yet.

    My husband had Z-Burger at the DC location a while back, and since I have not--with the BOGO offer that I got in the mail, we decided to give the place a try. It's located on the far end of the Pickett Shopping Center, right next to the Peruvian chicken place. Upon entering, I noticed that the place was a bit disorganized with highly, stacked chairs near the entrance and a circular table in the middle of the restaurant. I ended up getting two double cheeseburger (BOGO) and a small fries. You can get standard toppings (e.g. lettuce, tomato, fried onions, pickles, Mayo, etc.) as well as some other options that are all free (e.g. raw onions, green peppers, etc.). They also have premium toppings such as: bacon, fried eggs, etc. which you can get with your sandwich by paying the extra $1.75 (each). Even with the BOGO offer, I ended up paying about $20 for one double cheeseburger and a small fries (without the coupon, it would've been over $30 for two double cheeseburgers with a small fries). Not sure if the taste justifies the price as I think there are plenty of other options available for similar price range (or less) for much better quality food. As a person who had Z-Burger for the first time...the burger itself reminded me of wanna-be Five Guys' burger and the Z-Sauce was wanna-be In & Out sauce. There was nothing original nor special about the food, and definitely don't want to be paying the hefty price for them. Will I return..? I don't think so. Side Note: 1. There are limited seating inside the restaurant, so most likely you'll have to take the food to-go AND pay the packaging fee of $1.79. Apparently this can no longer can be waived as the price is already "embedded" in the system. And yes, I did ask to not charge me the fee and was denied. 2. If you do take the food to-go, they will pack the food nicely in a brown bag with a handle--and give you some of those nice Heinz ketchup packets you'll get at Chick Fil A (they have them stashed inside their counter so that ppl don't take them). If you are eating at the restaurant, you may be stuck with no-brand ketchup as these are readily available with the napkins and plastic utensils at the condiment station. 3. You can ask for all their speciality sauces and the seasoning (for the fries) on the side if you'd like. And can also ask the meat to be cooked "well done." 4. They seem to be now selling pizza and had some combo menus available, which I thought was weird given it's supposed to be a burger place. 5. There are ample amount of parking, but be careful as you enter & exit out of the shopping center as there are a lot of ongoing traffic of cars. Price: $$$

We walked in and were blessed to immediately get a table despite being told it may be an hour wait on the phone. We received a menu and ordered the breakfast burrito and the biscuits and gravy. Our food came extremely fast which surprised me and makes me wonder how much is prepped ahead. My friend received the burrito and it was very greasy so she requested to order something else. My biscuits and gravy were yummy. The eggs were cooked well and the fried chicken was the star of the show. Easily this was some of the best chicken I have had in a while. I overall enjoyed my meal but I wish there was way more gravy as there was only a little bit layered on top of the 2 biscuits. My friend was given a menu to order something else and this menu was different and had dinner options. It was 4:30 when we came and not more than 15 minutes of difference before receiving a menu the second time so we were surprised but eager to look. My friend ordered the half chicken which came with collard greens and grits. Since there was a different menu I wasn't aware of I wanted to order something additional and opted for saving the brunch meal I ordered for breakfast tomorrow. I loveeee scallops so when I seen them on the menu especially over grits I had to order it. The scallops were cooked wonderfully and I loved the composition of the dish with the creamy grits and the acid from the tomatoes and the smokiness of the sauce and grits. My friend loved the half chicken and after trying it myself we both agreed Matt and Tony's knows how to cook chicken well. The greens had nice flavor but were a little dry and needed some broth/juice from cooking. Again the grits were delicious and creamy with a bit of smoky flavor. I also had the Peso Cocktail which was sweet with a nice kick. Overall I enjoyed this restaurant and would come again and absolute what I ordered again as well. Coming here next time will be hard cause I'm definitely going to be battling between wanting what I already had and trying something new.

They emphasized fajitas as being a featured item on their extensive menu, and reviews seemed quite positive, so hey...why not give it a try? We arrived around 4 and sat at the bar. We were the only customers at the time which seemed a little odd since it was a Friday and a very pleasant day outside. We were greeted by the bartender/server and given complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were quite nice. We also had basic salted rim jalapeno margaritas, which were ok. Not bad, not outstanding, they were poured out of a large plastic jug. We then opted to split the steak and shrimp fajitas with the usual accompaniment of guacamole, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, refried beans and rice. For $28.99, this was a huge disappointment. 3 shrimp and 5 strips of thin beef with fried onions and a few peppers. The shrimp was actually tasty and very well seasoned but 3 shrimp? Please. The steak was difficult to evaluate since the pieces were so tiny. The refried beans, rice etc were fine, but the dish was overall a total disappointment and a terrible value for the price. There was only one other party of people that came in during the entire time we were at the restaurant which I feel is telling. With so many other Tex Mex options in the DMV, I would not consider returning to Dos Hermanos again.

    Discovered this restaurant for Alexandria's restaurant week and really glad I found it!…read more It's a smaller space but very intimate, dimly lit, and well decorated! We were immediately greeted when we walked in and our server/bartender was extremely welcoming and friendly! We chatted for a bit and really loved the quality of service he provided. It was personable and professional. We tried the wagyu burger (perfectly seasoned and cooked, juicy!) and the hot chicken sandwich (crispy chicken, delectable sauce, overall 10/10 and a MUST). The appetizers we got Brussel sprouts (very bitter, a little soggy, overall a bit disappointing) and the ribbon fries (they were basically chips, but not seasoned or salted) topped with a mayo-based sauce that was pretty good but also pretty disappointing. We didn't have room for desserts but the main dishes and drinks were good! There is a speakeasy counterpart that is right next door with incredible cocktails. Excited to try it out soon.

Makes sense, a little more room out there anyway. We haven't been on this side of the place since it was a Sugar Shack so it was nice to see the new concept. The seats are mostly at the bar was maybe 3-4 tables around the rest of the restaurant. We got a small taster when we sat down which was really good but I do not remember what it was. The zero proof menu we were there consisted of a Blueberry, Fauxgroni, and a Honey cocktail. We got the Blueberry and Fauxgroni to start. Both were made in front of us and had very cool looking details, especially the Fauxgroni's ice cube. The Blueberry was delicious and the honey foam on top was great with it. We figured since we were there we should also grab dinner which was fully available too. Not a huge menu but had snacks and sandos with a Japanese influence. We started with the Oysters Trio and Tater Tots. The oysters came in these ceramic oysters which was pretty cool and they had an amazing flavor to them. Little sweet, little sour. The tater tots were also great because they're tater tots but the sauce really changed the flavors for us. We also got two sandos, the Hot Maple and the Miso Honey. The sandwich's were a good size. So much flavor packed in each bite. The Hot Maple had a ton of bacon jam and combined with the red onion it was a salty, sweet, sour, crunchy rich sandwich. The runny egg on top was a nice touch. The Miso Honey had a strong truffle flavor but the honey sweetness came through nicely. Also very crunchy. Lastly we got two more drinks off their regular menu, the Coffee Bean and the Hibiscus. The flavors in the Coffee Bean worked so well together. I would say it was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The Hibiscus was pretty solid too but I only had a few sips. To end, as a part of our experience, we got these complimentary yuzu lime donuts. I guess as a call back to Sugar Shack maybe? They weren't bad, a little crispy but the flavor wasn't strong. Definitely a cool experience. I might not pay $20 for the zero proof experience itself but I would come back for their food and cocktails because I would say it was all on point.
