7th Street Burger Dupont Circle

Pretty average across the board, from the greasy burgers to the stark decor. Prices are relatively reasonable for DC ($9.50 for a double cheeseburger and $4.50 for fries as of Jan 2026). However, I disliked being prompted for a 22% tip given there’s no table service - what am I tipping for? I see other reviews mention long waits, but I ordered around 7PM on a weekday and had my food in under five minutes, though the restaurant was nearly empty. The interior is sparse and industrial — steel tables and walls, concrete floors, and no decor at all. It felt cold and uninviting, more like a workspace or a morgue than a place to enjoy a meal. Loud radio music was blasting the entire time, which made it hard to relax. As for the food, I agree with other reviewers that the burger is very greasy and would benefit from a hotter sear. The beef seems overly fatty, to the point that the grease soaked through both the bun and the paper wrapper. Between the soft, fatty patty and the soft potato roll, the burger lacked texture and contrast. On the plus side, the fries were good — clearly fried to order, crispy, and well executed, though possibly a bit salty depending on your preference. Hopefully management figures out a fix for the overly greasy burgers and puts some effort into the decor, otherwise I don’t see this spot getting a lot of repeat customers.

A very good burger and fries, this will be even better if you've had a couple of drinks in your system, since the burger is very greasy. I felt so bad for my poor bottom bun that soaked it all in, but the sauce onions and pickles cut through the grease and make it delicious. The fries were crispy and perfectly salty.

Simple menu. Ordered a double burger. Size is on the smaller side but taste is excellent. However, I would prefer if the patties were cooked on higher heat for a crust. There is also a lot of grease.

Food was slightly too greasy for my liking but the experience was amazing. Very community friendly place and the staff are incredibly kind and considerate. My friend accidentally left his book and one of the staff ran an entire block shouting and looking for us. Above and beyond!

We had this delivered to our hotel by GrubHub. The burgers and fries were AMAZING. So amazing that my boyfriend and I wanted to order another, but unfortunately, they were about to close lol. We will definitely be ordering again!

Ordered at 3:27pm today. DoorDash took almost 2 hrs to find a dasher to grab my order and you guys sent the same burger and fries that were cooked at 3:42pm (according to receipt). I received order at 5:27pm. You guys couldnt even remake the fries at least??? I even sent you a new customer yesteday that works near this location.

Visiting DC from the UK. We all really liked the burger, agree with other comments it is a greasy affair but then again nobody’s coming here to prepare for a bikini competition. I respect the menu concept, do one thing, do it well. No options. I guess if you don’t want coke or water you don’t need to buy one. Servers were excellent and price wise, you aren’t getting much better for this area. My only issue was the space, it’s quite stark and basic. I think you can go ultra basic on the menu, but such a basic setting might be a step too far and it doesn’t need to be, because they have a great crew that could hold down a more personal atmosphere.

Very tasty burgers and great service! 👍
