The 12 Best Burgers In DC 2024

"You gave up McDonald’s ages ago (except for the occasional after-club snack), so you haven’t had a quarter pounder with cheese in a while. Enter Tom’s Watch Bar—a sports bar so deep down the rabbit hole that it has its own sports channel playing events you’ve probably never heard of. The All-American burger comes with the basics: gooey American cheese, mustard, ketchup, and pickles on a buttery brioche bun. And unlike that #3 you’ve been craving, the juicy patty is made of actual beef. It’s a burger that’s looking to win you over with its easygoing, down home nature, not to schmooze you with its good looks and fancy toppings (unlike your latest Tinder date). Pair it with the tater tots and a brew while you watch ear pull and slippery stairs on the screen." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
