Juicy burgers, crispy chicken, thick fries, and fresh crushes
"A Union Market stall followed the Adams Morgan opening in 2019 and continues to feature the brand's global menu highlights and local favorites. The menus continue to showcase items like Gordy’s Pickles, freshly squeezed orange crushes, and mumbo sauce–slathered wings, and Union Market staff are eligible to transfer from the closing Wharf location to this site." - Tierney Plumb
"The fries here are of the thick-cut British chips variety, deep-fried in peanut oil and typically served with a malted vinegar mayonnaise. But for the more adventurous they can also be coated in a South African dry braai spice, topped with a hatch green chili queso, or served doused with an Irish chip shop curry sauce. Get them hot at locations in Adams Morgan, NoMa, the Wharf, and National Airport." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"This classic burger restaurant with four spots across the D.C. area has crushes on its menus, including late-night $5 orange and grapefruit options from 10 p.m. to close at its Adams Morgan location." - Emily Venezky
"Lucky Buns chef Alex McCoy plans to open a standalone burrito shop and all-day cafe for his West Coast-styled burritos. Preview dish included beef barbacoa tacos with smoked avocado salsa, coriander, and guajillo crema." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
"I tried the Union Market outpost of the Adams Morgan burger bar and found a pared-down menu that emphasizes burgers, fries, and hot chicken, plus D.C.-themed items like the “Mumbo bun” — a hot chicken sandwich with a Thai chile spin on the city’s sweet-and-sour mumbo sauce — and the “Go-go” chili cheese fries loaded with half-smoke." - Eater Staff
