A Hungry Media Frenzy Was Fed Free Falafel During Trump’s Historic Arraignment | Eater DC

"I noticed lunchtime standby Franklin Grill in the Hall of States provided catered platters of wraps to media crews covering the arraignment." - Tierney Plumb

My first time in Franklyn. Small town with the best people. Looked around on Reddit for burgers as I usually do. Found this. So glad I did. Went Thursday, Friday and Saturday night after long hot days. I’m a fancy guy, high end tequila and fresh juice is my jam. Not here, not now, enjoy the moment. The moment, was a beautiful, fresh, miller light in a just perfectly oversized plastic cup. So fresh and light. All is right in the world. Then I got hungry. I did come for a burger. Honest kitchen. Get bacon on your burger. Wish they put tallow in the fryer. But you can’t have it all. If your are a whiny person who complains about everything and generally start sentences with the word I. Please stay away. If you enjoy nice people, who enjoys fun times and memorable (fuzzy)times. Open your heart and mind and visit grill bar.

Slooooowww…. Don’t go here if you’re in a hurry. It took us two hours just for lunch. There was one server, one cook, and one gal on prepping buns and condiments. I don’t know why they don’t have another person on the fry and one person on the grill. The cook was in no hurry at all. The server was running around and very busy, but wasn’t extremely friendly. And didn’t check on us that often even after trying to flag her down. The tables were gross. Just kind of grimy. The mirror in women’s bathroom behind Toliet gives me the creeps too…. You do get pretty cheap. Decent big beers with limited options. And the burger was pretty good and thicker. The sides were just basic basic basic. Just deep fried no love or added anything. Pretty good portions also

irst time at this place — and it immediately left a great impression. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, without trying too hard. Sometimes you just want to be somewhere that feels natural: the conversations, the music, the food, even the cups. And here, everything just fits. Drinks are served without fuss — but with a sense that someone actually cared. Light, fresh, and perfect after a hot day. And when it’s time to eat, the menu doesn’t disappoint. The burger was prepared with attention, the flavor balance was spot on, and the texture just right. It’s clear the kitchen operates with honesty, no gimmicks or distractions.

Super good bar spot in Franklin! Super packed during weekend lunch when I went. Loved the cheese balls and cheeseburger. Word to the wise- the mini cheeseburger is the size of a normal cheeseburger. Can’t go wrong with Grill Bar

Stopped in after an Artcraft showing, both of us ordered the half-pound burger with chips. Pretty busy and potentially understaffed, but our server held her own and still did a good job taking care of us. Burger was big and juicy but not too greasy. My only complaint is a lack of seasoning on the meat itself, but condiments helped this a lot. Overall a tasty thick burger at an extremely reasonable price. Would likely return if in the area.

Fantastic place To grab a burger, a beer and some cheese curds. Ask for the made in house spicy cocktail sauce. This place might be the best burgers ever. Our bartender was a blast and we never had to try and get her attention. God bless this place.

Stopped in with friends for food and drinks. Get the burger, get TWO BURGERS. They are absolutely tremendous. Otherwise standard cozy bar fare, does the trick, plus HUGE draft beers. GET. THE. BURGER.

I’ve always loved Grill Bar for its history and sentimental value, but after my recent visit for my brother’s 21st birthday, I won’t be returning. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was hostile. Our waitress never introduced herself, made us feel like a burden, and barely checked on our table despite the bar being nearly empty. After waiting too long for a second round, we had to go to the bar ourselves. When she eventually returned, another employee approached us to deliver an unsolicited “life lesson” about not “talking shit” about her “girl”—all because we quietly noted the waitress’s rude attitude. This was, without a doubt, the most unprofessional and uncomfortable experience I’ve had here. I always support local businesses, but I can’t support one that treats its customers with such disrespect.
