Every neighborhood and city needs its greasy burger spot, and local chain Z-Burger is it for Dupont! My needs are simple. I love getting my burger stacked with all the scrumptious toppings and washing it down with some fries and a shake. I don't really know what is in Z-sauce, assuming it's mayo mixed with other stuff, but it's good. And by the way, they have almost 100 flavors of shakes. I am partial to Oreo, but no matter your taste preference, there is a shake out there for you! The couple times I've been here during COVID they looked like they were practicing good sanitation, wearing masks, distancing, etc. It looks like you can sit out on their small patio. Since the Columbia Heights location closed (or maybe it's re-opening? I'm not sure), I'm glad this still exists for that greasy fix you sometimes just need in your life. read more

After a full day of hanging out in DC, we wanted something quick but filling before going back to the hotel. Thank you Z-Burger team for making it happen. We were truly satisfied with your friendly and abiliging service. Your restaurant was clean and the food was served hot. If I didn't have a milk allergy, I would have ordered a shake from the huge selection for dessert. read more

Tonight we truly had the worst experience with Z-Burger that we couldn't even make up if we wanted to. If I had the option to give this place zero stars then that would be my rating. We ordered our food with 'Mr Beast Burgers' through Uber Eats, which Z-Burger was the restaurant that was suppose to provide the food. To start, an order that was suppose to take 30 minutes took well over 1 1/2 hour. My Uber Eats driver waited and waited, and finally got so frustrated that he messaged me details about the fiasco, and ended up leaving. And then I had the pleasure of calling Z-Burger where I got hung up on 4 times before I finally got an employee on the phone. After 10 minutes of the employee trying to gaslight me as to why they weren't responsible, and in fact blamed the Uber driver saying he didn't show up. And yet, I could see the driver at the restaurant on my GPS and was communicating with him the whole time. In fact, I had to post the screenshot of my conversation with my driver because Uber Eats doesn't deserve to be blamed by an incompetent employee. Luckily for me another driver finally showed up to pick up my order, or so I thought. The Z-Burger employee assured me that the food was just cooked and the order would be correct. Wow was he lying to me, the order finally arrived at 10:15pm, and the order was totally wrong, missing items, and to top it off the food wasn't warm. This has to be the biggest fail I've experienced from a restaurant with a food delivery. Luckily Uber Eats saw that Z-Burger completely screwed things up and gave me my money back. That's why I will continue to use Uber Eats, but I will never ever ever order Mr. Beast Burger or Z- Burger from the location. read more

Came here on a whim with my friend on a layover. Inside is decently sized, clean and the staff is very friendly. My friend got their fried chicken sandwich and fries. She loved the sandwich, didn't realize you could add toppings but she still enjoy it. I got the single cheese burger with their in-house "Z sauce", Jalapeños, and onions. I also got a side of their fries. The burger was delicious, I wish I got a double! The burgers are on a sesame bun and the patty is well seasoned. Overall, really enjoyed this place. The location is great to walk around in. If work sends me back and I have time, I will stop in for another burger but this time a double. read more

Great service My man Domo got me right with my order will return again fast service great dude

I'm here on a work trip and was looking for a burger - this place popped up on Google Maps, within walking distance to my hotel, so I decided to check it out with my boyfriend. If you love shakes, they have absolutely got you covered. The burger was DELICIOUS and I love that I could add a fried egg. The burgers are so juicy I didn't even notice that the sauce I asked for came on the side instead of on my burger, so I just used the sauce for the fries instead. So good, definitely recommend it! read more

I've been to this place five years ago when I visited the first time. Their food was great and the place felt so refreshing. Five years forward. They are under new management but everything else was untouched. Well, the place feels old and greasy and the food felt soggy. They were out of some of the fountain drinks. The fries were good. Not sure if I'll be back again. read more

I was in DC for a conference and heard some good things about Z-Burger and was happy I tried it. It was just around the corner from my hotel and I ordered a hot dog, burger, french fries and a Ice Tea. The burgers and dogs are made to order and the toppings on both were tasty. The fries were disappointing since the bag was full of grease that seeped through before I got back to my room. This location had outdoor seating and it's relatively clean and inviting. Not in the mood for a big meal, Z-Burger hit the spot. Recommend! read more

This is what you call a BURGER. I had gotten the cheeseburger loaded (with raw onions instead) - I would recommend light lettuce on the burger. As well get the seasoned fries! The wait time is about 10 minutes maybe a few minutes more. But overall I would highly recommend their burger. read more

Basic burger.. I prefer 5guys There wasn't anything fancy about this burger place. Maybe it's COVID but I wasn't overtly Impressed and probably won't return. The food wasn't bad so if you just need a bite it's good enough to eat. Enjoy read more

So, it was late at night and this place was one of the few that delivered and had a 4.7 stars on Uber Eats. My friend and I needed burgers, yes, we needed burgers. As soon as I started ordering I noticed the opportunity to order the burger with so many toppings in it. You could even add fried eggs, which I did to mine. I don't remember what my friend put on his but he was still skeptical. We also ordered a milkshake, I got the oreo one. When the food arrived, celebration started. These burgers don't play. They are DELICIOUS! My friend even told me how impressed he was by the quality. This place deserves more stars. The milkshake has little chunks of oreo which made the taste even better. I wish they had them in Miami. read more

Customer service excellent Eli provides great services and energy to customers Chicken Sandwich & Milkshake was great as well

I'm all for equal opportunity but maybe this job is a little too hard for the special needs old man at the register

This place is what 5-guys, shake shack, and smash burger are trying to be. Just a really really good greasy American burger, cooked to perfection, with fresh and flavorful toppings. Also a huge variety of shake/concrete flavors! They also do cheesesteaks that are really good. The prices are so reasonable and the staff is great. No frills place with great burgers and huge portions of fries? Gets a big heck yeah from me. read more

So once a year I choose to eat a burger. Today was the day! Lol. I don't have much to say about the inside except that it's small. Now, either I was really hungry or this was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time(since last year). Anyway, everything was fresh. The bun was soft and the burger was juicy(like me). They aren't stingy with their fries either. I tried not to eat them all only because I would feel miserable afterwards. I probably won't eat anything for the rest of the day though. You gotta have #balance lls. read more

Z-Burger - Bacon cheeseburger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've never been to see burger before and it's close by so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered a grilled cheese and instead of bread they just turned a bun over and use that for the bread. Not the worst but not what I expected or wanted. I ordered a hotdog and you can tell by the photo that the hotdog is very old and just cremated. I'm not sure why the cook would think it's acceptable to serve that to anyone except for a dog. Will I be going back to give it another chance No. Will I recommend them to anyone NO. Oh the price was right but the quality is definitely wrong! read more

I am visiting the DC area and needed to grab something to eat. They were one of the few places open. I bought a Philly Cheesesteak 8" sub at 12:20 am. By 2 am, I was violently ill and throwing up non-stop. I had to be rushed to GW hospital via ambulance. It was confirmed that I had food poisoning. After sharing the news with friends that live in the DC area, 5 ppl told me that they had gotten food poisoning from there as well. A horrific experience! read more

Burgers kinda like five guys, fries also like five guys, and a bit cheaper if I'm not mistaken. Service is quick and concise.

I'm only giving one star because I have to. I'm literally sitting in my car outside of the location writing this review. I was craving what was supposed to be a 5 oz Turkey burger. It was cold and very much processed and definitely not 5 oz. I put in the comment section to add provolone cheese being that was what I was instructed to do when I called because there was not an option for that. Of course there was no cheese on the extremely salted unappetizing burger. I went back inside to request the cheese and both employees stated that was not a request. She looked up my order and her only response was "oh". No apology but a half slice of cheese was issued at least. I tried eating the $10 burger but it's too salty from the salt and z seasoning. My first time trying this place which is also my last. Money wasted because the food is in the trash outside of the establishment. I'm currently on my way to find a decent sandwich. read more

You can't call in an order. They tell you to use grubhub. So automatically they're giving away money. Ordered two cheese steaks and two orders of onion rings. So between tax, service charge and tip. It was over $50. Prompt delivery. Open the order and no onion rings. Two orders of French fries instead. When I called they said they were out of onion rings, sorry. Could they have called to let me know. I was charged the price of the two onions rings at 7.29 each and not the fry price. We don't enjoy their fries and trashed. I'll use grubhub again but never z burger. And I live across the street. For deli ery next time, it'll be George's King of Falafel for cheesesteak read more

Stood in front of the counter for 5 mins with no assistance. Someone finally comes to the counter with no sense or urgency to take my order. I finally had to ask if someone was going to help me, to which I was asked if I had ordered yet. Another minute goes by and still nothing. I finally just walked out. There was absolutely no line, no crowd, and no excuse for to have been waiting over 5 minutes to order. read more

Friendly staff, clean dining room, fresh ingredients, and great flavor. I particularly liked the fresh jalapeños and mango mayo. I debated between 3 and 4 stars because of a couple of mistakes. First the fountain drink machine was down, they forgot the cheese on my turkey burger, and it took a bit longer than expected for a burger. In the end, I went with 4 stars because the turkey burger was the best I have ever had, and the staff were great. read more

Consistently awesome burgers, fries, and shakes. The fries are the best in the region and some of the best in the country (think Thrashers fries). The Tenleytown Z-Burger location has been a favorite staple for our family for more than a decade, and we go at least twice per month. Even better, Z-Burger must treat their staff well, because Joseph has been working the register there the entire time, and there has been almost no turnover of the rest of the team over the past decade. Where have you ever seen this in a retail business?? Even though they have a chain of restaurants, I consider this Tenley location to be a true "local" restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

This is a copycat of Five Guys. I see the price range says it's cheap with only one $. That isn't true. A double bacon burger is $8.70. The smallest order of fries is $4.50. A small shake is $6.00. For a fast food joint that is the most I've ever seen. I'd rate the cleanliness of this store when I visited very low. Everything was a mess. Also, the fountain drink station didn't work. I'm sure Coke came to fix it the next day. So if you like Five guys you will like this place. It's just expensive. read more

We usually go for lettuce wraps but not this time. It was worth the cheat! Cheese was melted, lettuce was crisp, and the buns held all of it together. No complaints from us. We were quickly served and the process were reasonable. Also, the lighting by the window creates perfect selfie lighting. read more

Z-Burger is one of my favorite indulgences. You can get so many toppings on your burger, and it's fun to mix and match. Wanna add hot sauce? Bbq sauce? Sweet peppers? The choice is yours. I'm a major fan of their cheesesteaks too. The fries, Z-style (seasoned) are awesome when dipped in ketchup and vinegar. Shakes are also great for dessert. This is one of my favorite late night spots and it's often open later than bars. If you want to crush some greasy food after midnight, grab a hot melty burger here. read more

Terrible experience. Would give it zero stars if I could. Placed a pickup order to grab on the way home. Order was placed at 11:25 for 20-25 minutes. We arrived a little before midnight and stood in the line to pay and grab our food. We told the cashier that we were there for the order, paid, and he handed us a receipt. We assumed they didn't start making it until we paid, and sat down to wait. People who ordered after us started getting their door and I looked at the time and realized it had been thirty minutes. Walked up to the counter to inquire after the food and the guy went back and got it from the back. I looked at the receipt and saw that it had been made and HOUR EARLIER AT 11:30. The man at the register did not offer to remake the food, despite the fact that it had been sitting there for an hour, and 30 minutes since we arrived. read more

Friendly staff and good food. Similar to five guys but I like supporting local restaurants. Burger was good, fries were okay. My family said the milkshakes were really good. Also great hot dogs. read more

Ooof. Overpriced, lacking in flavor, and an overwhelming dessert beverage menu. Z-Burger needs to focus in on something, either lower prices to match the quality of their food, or gourmet shakes rather than just an absurd number of flavor options--because right now the most memorable quality of Z-Burger for me is that it's like a knock-off Five Guys...in the town that Five Guys originated. Weird. BURGERS: Nothing special here. Decent meat and toppings. Wide variety of customization options. ONION RINGS: Dude, I love onion rings. I didn't love your onion rings, and it's not onion rings' fault. Why'd you let them sit in an oil bath for so long? They didn't deserve that. FRIES: Their fries are thin cut and old school with bits of potato skin lining the edges. Never really met a fry I didn't want to eat. SOFT DRINKS: Z-Burger has the Coca Cola Machine with the touch screen and several flavors of every drink. The Mr. Pibb shouldn't have been the highlight of my meal, but it certainly was. DESSERT BEVERAGES: Z-burger would benefit from scaling down their shakes and malts menu to a few really flavorful and unique options. Having an entire wall of the restaurant dedicated just to displaying the shakes and malts is distracting. I spent an hour in Z-Burger during the lunch rush and each of the 9-11 people who had ordered a shake ordered one of the most basic flavors after remarking about the quantity of options, with the most daring flavor being chocolate peanut butter. read more
