Red Apron

Enjoyed a Red Apron Original burger along with a beer from their plentiful selection on a nice sunny day! For only $13 the double patty burger and a side of fries felt like quite the bargain in DC. If it wasn’t so nice outside I would’ve definitely stayed at the bar, the skateboard decks are a nice touch.

Although they have a colorful selection of draft beers the service staff is not helpful in understanding their menu or selection. The staff member was very rude when asking about the beer and pricing and just wanted to hurry us along to the extent that he tried to select a random beer for us. We were the only people there, I’m not sure what the rush was. My wife ordered there previously and had a negative experience as well. To the benefit of those visiting Union Market, looking for a good time with friends and family, I would recommend going to Hi-Lawn on the rooftop for about the same price or lower price and better ambience or any of the other fine establishments within or around Union Market. It’s a real bummer to be in the city looking to enjoy summer and see people who clearly don’t like what they do and take it out on the other people.

The customer service was outstanding as was the food. The chefs take great care in preparing and presenting tasty sandwiches with just the right amount of spice and sauce. The pulled pork is the best I have ever tasted. Well done Red Apron Union Market.

We love coming to Red Apron to get their burgers and rosemary garlic fries. The burgers are always amazing, and dare I say the best burger I’ve had in DC so far. Their bottled cocktails are fantastic (and strong) as well!

The sandwiches at Red Apron are really tasty, but it seems a bit pricey although you could probably say that for most of Union Market. The Porkstrami sandwich though was really tasty, moist and full of flavor and the French fried are really a great as they are cooked with fresh herbs. Also seem to have a butcher's counter as well and they are best busy. The flow to the inside counter to order is a little non-intuitive as you pass the menu to order, but very tasty food. Not enough seating though for this busy stall.

I stopped in union to grab a quick bite to eat and I decided to try the chorizo burger. To my surprise it was really good. The staff at red apron was cool and my food was made quickly. One of the best things about eating in this area is there is so much going on and I love the outdoor seating.

Porkstrami Sandwich *twist on the traditional pastrami sandwich, shaved super thin and almost melts in your mouth, absolutely loved the sauerkraut reminded me of the sauerkraut I had in Berlin, not sour but rather savory and porky. *since I got my order to go, I might ask for the bread to be on the side next time because the mustard aioli made the bread super soggy Beef Fat Fries *Super crunchy with the skin on, great with the rosemary and garlic, added a nice flavor to the fries Spent $15 for lunch and I was super full and satisfied, definitely will be back. Interested in trying the beef and cheddar but reviews have been very mixed so I'm not sure.

The staff was amazing. The food was amazing. But the simply fact that only one person was working at dinner time is insane. This review is solely to management. There were three people in line in front of me to order, and at least 5 people waiting for their food. Additionally, there were more people coming while he was prepping food to order, which meant he had to stop, take their order, then continue prepping. The guy working obviously can’t take orders and prep food, which made my wait time ridiculous. I came at 6 PM. Prime dinner time. Why are there not more people working? Why are you overworking this one man? Honestly ridiculous. For both your employees and your patrons sake, I hope this can be remedied in the future, especially with summer coming up. As I was writing this two people got out of line because the wait was too long and saw one man was doing this all on his own. Do better Red Apron.
