The 12 Best Burgers In DC 2024

"DC has a few home-grown burger chains, but Z Burger is the one that oozes picnic in Rock Creek Park. Don’t expect any of those fancy “artisanal” cheeses or smoked meats at this Tenleytown spot. No, you come here for a double cheeseburger with lettuce, ketchup, tomatoes, and pickles. Fried onions, sauteed mushrooms, mayo, and mustard, if you’re feeling spicy. And if you really want to round out an already great meal, get a side of onion rings as big as your head and a milkshake made with one of the restaurant’s 75 flavors. What? We’re here for a good time, not a long time. " - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
