The Capital Burger

Really great burger restaurant located in the Hyatt Hotel. They serve flavored pickles for the table instead of bread which is a nice touch. Smoked gouda fries are amazing. Peppers were good and it was a large appetizer with plenty for a table. Chicken sandwich was okay, a little on the thin side so some parts were more crunchy than actual chicken. Atmosphere is nice but the staff sat us next to another occupied table, actually three tables in a row were all seated right next to each other, which I thought was weird since there was plenty of room elsewhere. Right behind us was an entire row of empty tables, so being unnecessarily crowded together was a little odd. The service was fantastic and overall it was a pleasant experience.

Capital Burger is an outstanding spot that delivers on every level—food, atmosphere, and service. I especially love their vegetarian burger, which is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, it’s a dish I keep coming back for. Their fresh lemonade pairs beautifully with it, making the meal even more enjoyable. Another detail that sets them apart is their complimentary pickles—absolutely delicious and a small touch that makes a big difference. The warm atmosphere and attentive staff make each visit a pleasure. Capital Burger has become one of my go-to places, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Capital Burger inside the Hyatt was wonderful! I was tempted by the salmon salad, but thought, Im at a burger place -- and they offered gluten free buns. So, I went with the classic burger. The burger was so tasty! The bun was soft and didn't fall apart like some gf buns. THE PICKLES! If you like pickles, the house pickles are amazing. They were the second reason I went with the classic burger. I enjoyed a side salad, but my CEO who is also gf, said her sweet potato fries were fried separate - so no cross contamination - and she noted that meant they were fried in beef tallow. For those of you who love beef tallow, it could be a reason to try capital burger. Our drinks were excellent too - and so was our service. All-in-all, it was a great meal!

★★★★★ | A Delicious Gem in the Heart of Reston What a pleasant surprise! Our visit to The Capital Burger in Reston turned into one of those unexpectedly great days — the kind you wish you could bottle up. From the moment we walked in, the service was on point. Shoutout to Veronica, our waitress — she was kind, attentive, and made us feel like VIPs. That kind of hospitality is rare these days, and it really elevated the whole experience. Now let’s talk food: the burger was absolutely delicious, juicy and cooked to perfection. But what blew us away? The veggie burger — hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Rich in flavor, well-balanced, and satisfying in a way most veggie options aren’t. Even the kids were impressed, and that’s saying something. The atmosphere was classy yet welcoming — perfect for families, friends, or even a casual date. And the best part? The location. After lunch, we didn’t just head home — we stuck around. The area is packed with fun: there’s space for kids to run around, play soccer, even splash in the pool if you’re staying nearby. You can really make a whole afternoon of it. This wasn’t just a meal, it was a mini getaway. We’ll definitely be back.

I just had a wonderful late night dining experience at The Capital Burger. I am staying at the hotel, and it was very conveniently located, plus they are open late. The atmosphere was relatively chill, and the restaurant itself was not particularly full, although the bar area was hopping. The space was well lighted and immaculately clean. My server, Ariana, was absolutely lovely, and her service was attentive and friendly. She made sure that my water glass was full and that I had refills on my Diet Coke. You can tell that she takes pride in her work, that she is a "people person," and that she enjoys her job. The manager stopped by my table a couple of times to check in, and he was friendly, professional and conversational. I was very happy with my order, which was a bacon cheeseburger with a side of brussels sprouts (in lieu of fries) and a Belgium chocolate mousse for dessert. The burger was cooked perfectly, and the quality of the meat as well as the accoutrements was high. Everything was delicious, fresh, nicely presented. I enjoyed the experience thoroughly, and I will certainly be back.

Our food was delicious. We both had burgers cooked perfectly and super juicy. My husband loved the pickles. If we're ever on that side of town again, we're definitely coming back.

Dined last night as first time guests. Decided to leave this review because our server, Matthew, was terrific! He is reason enough to return. The rest of our service to include the manager "touching the table" was good, too. Food came out fast and hot and drinks were quickly replenished. Okay, we knew that burgers would cost around $30. When you compare our meals and overall experience against "regular" burger places, there's no comparison. Dine here.

Food was not great. Cheese fries were so mid, the fries itself were horrible. Asked for the red chili wings, the bartender told me they didn't have any. Would have been good to know that from the beginning when I sat down. Bartender was coughing and cutting up pineapple with his bare hands. Ended up getting the chicken sandwhich and it's so basic. I feel like I was being fooled looking at these comments before going to this restaurant. There wasn't a single table in the restaurant but 3 people other than myself sitting in the bar area. Ended up still paying about $31 for a chicken sandwhich w cheese fries, and one beer. Service was not even close to average or subpar. Dang, I'm so disappointed. Won't recommend this, and think other people could find better places to get some food nearby.

The Capital Burger at Reston Town Center offers gourmet, juicy burgers and a comfortable atmosphere with a large bar and multiple seating options. It provides a steakhouse-like burger experience, with an extensive wine list and a variety of cocktails. We visited for breakfast, and their breakfast burger was excellent--juicy and satisfying. The pancake was simple yet delicious, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and plenty of blueberries. The applewood-smoked bacon and egg on a brioche burger were okay. However, the coffee was disappointing: the cappuccino was too acidic, and the café latte was more like a café au lait with lots of milk. Service was adequate, but the upscale ambiance felt outdated and in need of upgrades. The nearby parking garage operated by Hyatt charges for parking, unlike other garages in Reston Town Center, which are free on Sundays. Street parking is also free on Sundays with a 2-hour limit, so avoid parking at the Hyatt garage.

It's a really hearty breakfast burger early on Saturday morning. Nice service, perfectly cooked food, and a clean bar concept. I am excited to try more food here.

Came for an event and service was excellent start to finish! They give you complimentary pickles and WOW they were deliciously addicting while waiting for our meals! The capital burger with side Caesar salad was so good and the mint lemonade was so good. I would absolutely return here and recommend. The area and parking were lovely! Go, enjoy!

I stopped by for lunch and ordered the roasted mushroom and Swiss burger which came with my choice of side- I chose Brussels sprouts. The burger was very good! Cooked well and very tasty. The bun was buttery and soft. Patty was moist and well seasoned. Mushrooms and Swiss pairing was great! The Brussels sprouts were okay. A little too sweet for me.

It wasn't a ton of people there when I went but I would aay it's a very laid back atmosphere. I think to food is average. I would still reccomend though.

Place is alright, I knew it wouldn't be like Capital Grille proper but parts of the restaurant could use some renovation. Anyway, food is alright as well but for a place that focuses on burgers I was a little bit disappointed. I'm not sure what I was expecting but the Blue Cheese and Black Truffle Burger was a little bit flavorless which is strange given that blue cheese is usually very strong. I couldn't even really tell that it had blue cheese to be frank. Anyway price point it's decent and there's a good beer selection, in my mind it's the ideal happy hour hang out after work. Too bad I don't work nearby.

I dropped in at the Capital Burger on my way to Washington Dulles International Airport. The salmon was grilled perfectly. The dish of the salad was a bit small. So, I had to eat it carefully to avoid spilling the salad. Since I got accustomed to the size of meals in the U.S., almost all the dishes are felt to be small now. The person there was kind and attentive. I am satisfied with these last dishes in the U.S.

I had lunch here while staying here for a conference, and it was lovely! The pickles that arrive immediately as a starter were delicious. Our server was so kind and helpful! Our meal arrived quickly and was delicious. I had the calamari with a side of truffle fries. The fries were PERFECT. The calamari was cooked perfectly, as well. The service was the best part of the experience. Our server was nice enough to give me a to-go soda. We popped in that evening to see if we could get disposable silverware for dessert takeout we'd grabbed from a nearby restaurant, and they gladly obliged our request.

This is for a room service order. I got the Capital Burger and it was delicous! So juicy and easy to order. Also, I sat in the restuarant for a few drinks with coworkers and the service was great. After hours, it does get packed, but they have enough tables to have you and your group seated. Service was great for the times that I was there.

Pretty mixed feelings on this place now. They used to be sooooo good. But after the most recent visit, it seems like the food has declined in quality. The burgers normally melted in your mouth. But now it felt like they switched how they made the patties because they definitely don't melt anymore. And it also feels like the burgers themselves don't taste as flavorful. It's like they forgot seasoning or something. And considering the prices are now all over $20 when they used to be $15 a year ago, I expect more from them. They upped the prices and reduced the quality. Quite sad considering I used to recommend them all the time. The service has also gone down in quality over the past year. It can be not busy and yet you won't see your server for 15 mins at a time. There's a line that can be drawn about visiting too often and not enough. The ambiance is darker. Definitely makes it feel more intimate and romantic. Wish the food still matched that energy. I can't highly recommend this place anymore. Perhaps they will read their recent reviews and do better. It's sad that something that shares The Capital Grille namesake is this disappointing.

The Capital Burger in Reston is a delicious spot for all of your burger cravings! Popped into this location on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant is dimly lit, spacious, and provides a welcoming atmosphere to small and larger groups alike. To start off the meal, we ordered the Parmesan Truffle Fries with Parsley. I really enjoyed how flavorful each fry was and finished these quite quickly :) For my entree, I went with the Capital Burger medium rare with a side of mash potatoes. The meat was juicy, but not the most flavorful. The Wisconsin Gruyere cheese and caramelized onions truly made the meal complete. I do wish I could have tasted the Shallot Aioli a bit more. The mash potatoes were smooth, but a bit bland. I would have appreciated some other flavor like garlic to accompany. The service was speedy and extremely accommodating! I appreciated the small touches like the jar of pickles placed at each table! Overall, a great burger spot for a date night or family event. This restaurant is connected to a hotel making it a convenient stop if you find yourself traveling in the area!

Very good hamburger. A good place to eat if you are staying there. The service was good and the restaurant and bar area has a good vibe, day or night.

Post Great Falls stroll, we worked up a huge craving for a satisfying burger. Came here with high expectations and this spot, overall, fell shy of that. We ordered- -King Pao Brussel Sprouts ($9): very flavorful spicy soy glaze coating topped with bacon bits. devoured within a few minutes.. very tasty savory app & recommend! -Capital Burger w/ side of parmesan truffle fries ($25): cooked medium & very juicy, thick layer of carmelized onions, gooey gruyère cheese. fries were fragrant, perfectly crisp and delicious! Recommended by our server and definitely the better of the two entrees! -Ribeye Steak Sandwich w/ side of caesar salad ($33): even with the cabernet-braised red onions and gruyère cheese, this was dry and lacked seasoning/ flavor. Unfortunately, ribeye itself was not tender nor enjoyable with every bite. Our server spoke highly of this which is what sold us in getting it instead of a burger, but we were unsatisfied & extremely underwhelmed. Perhaps it was an off day, but would not recommend. Complimentary thick-cut pickles, instead of bread n butter, were tangy & fresh! Overall, most of the food was tasty but one of the main entrees was a HUGE miss. Service was good, though we felt like our server was overbearingly enthusiastic on this place offering the best..

Really delicious burgers and adult milkshakes! We ended up sitting at the bar and the service was really good. It's connected to the Hyatt and has a nice restaurant vibe to it.

I wish we had a Capital Burger in the Seattle area. It's always a good meal when I visit a Capital Burger spot, and at this northern Virginia location, the food was delicious. Solid food and drinks, but the service could be better. We visited The Capital Burger on a Friday night and sat at the bar where the place wasn't too busy, with just a few patrons dining in. This Capital Burger is located in the Reston Town Center in the Hyatt. The bar is nice, reflective of what you'd expect from a classy steakhouse, with dark wood furnishings and whatnot. I ordered the signature Capital Burger with a side of the kale salad, and had their signature pineapple martini. The bartender who was helping us seemed to be in a bad mood, as his answers were very short. When asked for recommendations for a cocktail, he said, "They're all good." He clearly did not want to make any conversation with us and didn't even acknowledge a thanks or anything. He'd drop off the food and leave. K, thanks. Can we get our waters refilled? We had to wave down another server for follow up. The food however, was delicious. If you like French onion soup, you'll like the signature burger, which is a beef patty with melted gruyere and caramelized onions. The kale salad was really good, with a peanut sauce. I recommend trying. The pineapple martini was also nice, with a nice foam and abundant pineapple flavor. I'd like to come back and check out their happy hour and perhaps a different kind of burger as they feature plenty others, along with some entrees, appetizers and desserts.

Wow is all I can say!!! The menu was pricey when I glanced at it and I told myself I will not pay $22 for a burger!!!! Fast forward....i was taken to dinner because they wanted to try capital burger ( we missed happy hour) so here we go....i ordered the capital burger...I was still whining about that price!!! I also order New England clam chowder and the sweet pickles came with the table. Let's start by saying this...THIS WAS A VERY VERY VERY DELICIOUS BURGER cooked perfectly with truffle fries!! Omg was I wrong about it being expensive, like the saying goes, you get what you pay for and baby I am a true believer in capital burger and the prices now ! The clam chowder was perfect with crackers, I can't stop the compliments....everything was great! The service was good just a lil slow...we asked for condiments that we got late because the meals were almost finished! So we took a star away for that...but besides that it was good!!! We asked for more sweet pickles and we got em towards the end of the meal. Service was slow but the food was great. The capital burger sits inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel....the restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was laid back. The rest of the food was great too...calamari was fried perfectly with a crispy crunch...the chicken Caesar salad was good with plenty of chicken... the classic cheese burger with bacon was perfectly cooked also and it was still juicy even though it was well done also!!!!! If you ever in resson, va give this place a try!!!

The best part of our visit was the incredible server, Anaya! She was courteous, attentive, and friendly. There were a couple things that went wrong in the kitchen, but she handled it with grace and poise! The food was delicious! Our burgers hit the spot! The manager was top notch too! He brought out a fan to help blow away the cigar smoke from a neighboring table. We enjoyed our afternoon at The Capital Burger!

Really good Classic burger. Attentive and knowledgeable bartenders. It is always a plus when I order a burger and it comes out to order. Thanks for the rare burger that I ordered...well done in that regards.

Reston town center has changed a lot in the last few years. W & S closed. Clyde's closed. I miss Clyde's. Even Pizzeria Uno vanished some years back. I'm not a Chicago style pizza person but it was always a nice option and something different for a date or drink with the fellas. A buddy suggested the Capital Burger. Honestly I had no idea it was there. We had lunch last Sunday. We get a table and grab a seat. Waiter (Keith) came over and asked if we wanted to start with a drink. He had to chase a customer at this point who did not pay her bill. After a few he returned and apologized. I ordered lemonade and my buddy ordered OJ and water. The menu is not too big but enough to keep me interested. I order the bacon cheeseburger without the tomato jam. He ordered blue cheese and truffle burger with an order of truffle fries for the table. The waiter brought out some home made pickles in a small jar. I tried one and they were pretty good. The waiter came with the burgers and fries for the table in a bit. I ordered another lemonade. The bun was fresh. Burger cooked medium like I asked. Fries on the plate were hot and crispy. Truffle fries were ok, I'm thinking made before the burgers were done. Still tasty. No complaints about the food or the service. Keith was busy with a couple other tables. Definitely a try for something different in the burger department. Good form a date or burger & beer with the fellas.

Excellent burger. Great selection of whiskey but would be nice if there was a full list instead of just a "highlight" summary of a few. The list on the menu doesn't remotely cover every kind of bourbon or whiskey they have. Just a suggestion.

One of the best burgers I've had in years. I got the capital burger, and it was like a French onion soup burger. The Gruyère cheese with the caramelized onions was delicious, the patty was cooked medium to perfection and the size of the patty compared to the bun was huge. I got the Brussels sprouts which was a little on the bitter side, maybe a bit more balsamic glaze would have made them sweeter but they were still very good. The other burger was equally delicious, a mix of savory and sweet. The fries were well seasoned and crispy, and I think cooked in some kind of animal fat because they had that taste to them. Really good fries. Also got the chocolate mousse and it was 100/10. Definitely try that. We got take out but the food was ready by the time I walked over the pick it up, and the hand off was quick. The inside of the place seemed spacious and nice, I can't wait to try the outdoor patio with the fire pit next time.

Great Service Good Food Perfect spot for catching up with friends or having a drink with coworkers after work!

We arrived early for a Saturday evening, around 5:45pm. We knew they didn't take reservations so we wanted to get there on the early side. We were seated immediately. Our server came and introduced herself, took our drink orders and gave us some time to peruse the menu. I ordered the Pursuit of Happiness and husband had the Stoli Doli. Both fantastic!! For apps, we chose to share the Bavarian pretzel. It was huge and would've easily been great for 4-5 people. My son ordered the lobster bisque. I took a taste and it was delicious! Lots of chunks of lobster. For dinner, I had the Bleu cheese and black truffle burger, my husband has the capital burger with bacon and my son had the filet with mashed potatoes. Both husband and I thought it was one of the best burgers we have ever had! Cooked perfectly, the flavors of each burger were complimentary, and the burger was so juicy! He had a side of roasted brussel sprouts and I had the smoked Gouda cheese fries. Both were prepared well and very tasty! My son enjoyed his filet and mashed potatoes. Would definitely go back there again. We were smart to go early as it did get crowded around 7pm. They turned the lights down to give it more of a romantic feel. Excellent food, excellent service!

Such good burgers! You can tell the food is fresh. Meet has got to be top grade. Ambiance is chill and welcoming

My husband and I ate here since we were staying at the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised! The food was VERY good and the service was also outstanding. Overall a great experience. I am only giving 4 stars because I was not a fan of the prices and thought they were pretty high; but this is DC area, so not surprised.

The evening dinners are great... and the cocktails are delicious... but my favorite part of Capital Burger is breakfast! Especially before 10am (and after 10am I call it brunch!)

What a crazy night when we walked in after an event, the place was still almost empty. However, 5 min later, the place was crazy and crowded from the event that was at the hotel. It was loud, and people bellying up to the bar, but the staff handled it like any other Thursday night. Drinks came quickly, and food came out in a timely manner. Speaking of food, we had the late night menu. Thai wings, shashito peppers, and a Ribeye steak sandwich. Each was prepared to perfection. Kyle, our server was as cool as they came. Many folks were yelling stuff to him, asking him for things, but he was calm and cool and was able to make everyone at our table and around us happy. I watched as he noticed I was getting ready to move out, and the check came right over. It is a fine place that next time will try to enjoy a full meal at this place. Sorry, food never made my camera as my phone died.

Delicious! You get a fairly thick patty, classy and upscale environment, and flavorful. The service was pretty good as well. When it got busy they dropped the ball a little, but overall I'd still come back. The bourbon shake was delicious and strong! It's a great milkshake to go with your burger. The Caymus wine also complimented the burger well. I got the Bacon Cheeseburger with an egg for an additional $2 and Parmesan Truffle Fries I wanted to really try the the Vermont egg burger that's on the popular list here on Yelp. However, they don't have that any longer. If you get the bacon and Vermont cheeseburger you can just add the egg and it's the same thing... the truffle fries were great! They have fresh pickles and onions on the table in a little container

I'm here to right a review about one thing. Not clearing our plates after we were finished eating. Excellent ahi tuna nachos and generous portion. Devoured them. Fried calamari, excellent. Fried chicken sandwich was good, truffle fries good, could have been hotter. Everyone liked their food. Service: We must have been approached more than 5 times by waitstaff as for orders while our spouses parked the car. Approached many times (too many) to ask if we needed more drinks, etc. But after we ate, we sat there with our empty plates for more than 15 minutes and no one came to clear them. It was a small high top in the bar, so the table was very crowded. Tired of sitting with dirty plates, we left.

Service had little interest in doing anything, food came at wrong then came out correct but cold. The GM that came and spoke to us was extremely rude. Would never recommend this place.

The burgers are great. The wings for appetizers are so good and their cocktails love them.

This Capital Burger is all that! Soooo good, so plain, and so you think it is going to be missing something. It totally hits!! This burger doesn't lack in taste, I didn't miss the salad that comes on a burger. The Capital Burger is Burger 101; bun, meat, cheese, and grilled onions. Not a fan of onions or grilled onions? These onions are on for the ride, and don't even let you know they are there. The onions just hangout with the Gouda and they meet up the tastiest burger to create a work of burger magic.

Upon the recommendation from my daughter, we decided to venture out to celebrate my birthday on warm Sunday evening and try The Capital Burger. Since the pandemic started, we have been fairly insistent on finding restaurants with comfortable outdoor seating, and we weren't disappointed with the comfortable seat we were offered on the patio facing a lovely park. This is located in one of the more quiet areas of Reston Town Center. Upon arriving at our table, we were provide a tasty jar of bread and butter pickles and an a bottle of water for the table to share. The waiter, George, was very helpful and guided us through the menu. The bar menu looked excellent, and the drinks that others were enjoying looked very good, however we did not imbibe this evening. We started out with an appetizer size of french fries. The fries are deep fried in beef tallow which makes them especially delicious. However, keep in mind that tallow is basically cow lard (50% saturated fat), so it isn't something you would want to eat everyday. But the fries are made even better by dipping them in Truffle Aioli, Béarnaise and Spicy Mayo that comes with them. Very decadent, but a great way to treat yourself! I fancy myself a kind of "fry connoisseur", and I have to say that these are some of the best fries I have ever eaten. And then this happened.... For my entree, I chose the blue cheese and truffle burger that comes topped with black truffle, melted blue cheese, Cabernet-braised sweet onions. I ordered the burger medium rare, but unfortunately the burger arrived well done. I am really not a fan of well done burgers, so George kindly took it back to have another burger prepared. Well....George brought the freshly cooked second burger out, but it was barely on the well done side of medium. Seeing that everyone else was over half done eating, I accepted the burger from George. It wasn't his fault and I didn't want to eat alone. The burger was fine, but would have been spectacular if cooked correctly. Let me be kind but clear. If your restaurant has the word "burger" in the name, you only really need to get one thing right. Just one thing....that has to do with burgers....like knowing what medium rare looks like. $16 dollars for a burger, in a restaurant called "The Capital Burger", that is also associated with The Capital Grill, should be able to cook a hamburger correctly when given two chances. The burger was really good otherwise, but I can only get to three stars. Two failed attempts takes two stars off my rating. Everyone else had better luck and enjoyed burgers that were properly cooked. It wasn't their birthday, so maybe that is key to getting your burger cooked to order. Don't go on your birthday. In summary, this is a nice restaurant that has great atmosphere, great service and a lousy burger chef on Sundays. I see potential for The Capital Burger, once they get the burger part fixed. Lordy....

Best burger I've had in a long time. Unique and flavorful pairings. Customer service was great as well.

The Capital Burger in RTC unleashed a burger so well-seasoned, even my taste buds started a standing ovation. My patty was cooked to perfection--I haven't seen this level of culinary wizardry since my microwave learned to defrost. The smoked Gouda cheese fries? They're on a first-name basis with extraterrestrials, that's how out of this world they are. Sean, the bartender, not only crafts drinks but could probably negotiate world peace with an Expresso martini in hand. This place is so beautiful; I'm considering bringing a sketch artist next time. Outstanding food, stellar service--it's like the restaurant hired food ninjas and service wizards. Capital Burger, you're the Michelangelo of the culinary canvas!

Come here with a friend for lunch during the week. I was immediately greeted at the door and offered seating in either the dining room or the bar area. I chose the dining room. They put pickles on the table instead of bread. Yum! They were sweet and delicious. I ordered the cheeseburger medium with Gorgonzola cheese, tomato, and extra lettuce. Next time I'll try another cheese- so many choices! The burger looked a little red but was still delicious! The side kale salad was incredible and I'd get that again too. Service was perfect. I even heard him remind that I wanted extra lettuce. Can't wait to return!

BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! There is no other way to start off this review other than stating what you need to know. Hands down the best burger I've ever had and my friend agrees because he had the same burger ... never in our lives have we had a burger that was so simple yet ingenious and oh so flavor packed that we literally said we need to come back weekly .... The Capital Burger is just that good and is what makes this review 5 stars! Every element of it is perfection! The fact that they serve deliciously spicy pickles as a free nibble while you wait for your food is what I thought I'd be raving about or the over the moon mini coconut cream pie mason jars they offer for dessert ... or the eggs and bacon deviled eggs ... or the flavor packed wings .... but nope, it's the BURRRRRGER!!!! Do yourself a favor and drop in and savor this burger because I promise you that the only thing you'll be mad at is the fact that you want to eat 2 but can't because you're full.

The Capital Burger is an attached restaurant to the Hyatt. We stopped in here for breakfast on our first day of daycare for a nice date breakfast. We wanted to sit at the bar and do a brunch style engagement - but they had closed the bar area for some work - they had contractors coming in and out doing something. We were seated at a table. Social distancing was enforced. We placed out orders for a order of mimosa's, chicken and waffles, and fruit side with a burger. It was Meh. The waffle came out doughy and cold. We left it on the plate and told our waiter about it - and he had them make another one. It came out warm but still doughy. Some of the fruit was ripe and some was not yet and hard. I'm not sure if the experience we had was because we came when they opened, or because there was construction going on with the bar, or because they are light staff due to covid. If we are in the area again - we might try them for a lunch or dinner, but probably not for breakfast.

Delicious salad for a place known for their amazing burgers! As much as I would have loved to had a burger I decided to go with something lighter like a salad. I'm always hesitant to order a salad with fruit because I just tend not to like it, but this salad was delicious! I really enjoyed the dressing, which was light yet super flavorful. The salmon was perfectly cooked. My coworkers said their burgers were very good. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was in my hotel and I arrived late and starving. Wow. This was unexpectedly wonderful. I'm sure part of the reason was because I was starving --- had not had lunch. Bacon Swiss burger and truffle fries. Juicy, meaty, perfectly cooked and messy. Fries salty but complimented the non-salty burger just fine. The sweet pickle slices in a jar on the table were a perfect crunchy complement. Dessert was a chocolate mousse cake in a jar that was dark chocolate and not too sweet. Server was fantastic. Had a glass of Cabernet. Comfortable booth. Place got a little noisy near the end. I wish I had a photo of that burger, after all, we had a brief relationship LOL.

Popped in for a quick beer. They had a handful of hers on draft. About half were craft with a couple locals too. Service was quick. Passed by later in the evening and they were very busy.

The service there is terrible. The waiter was really cool, but we had got seated at a table and ordered me and my friend ordered truffle fries and a basic plain burger with no cheese just Pattie and bun. I asked for well done and my friend asked for medium well and once we got it mine ended up being more pink and the bottom bun was wet and red. The worst part was after we ordered six minutes later 2 people sat down next to us and got there food before us we watched people finish there meals and leave but we didn't go to another place cause there wasn't to many other places and we thought it would be good. Also because we didn't have a car at the time and it was freezing outside I really don't recommend this place even if your staying at the hotel go somewhere else down the street.every other place is way better you can trust me on that. I can't tell if they treated us different because we're teens but overall terrible place.

One of the Best burgers in DC Metro. I've been to both the DC and Reston VA locations and the latter reminds me of The Pharmacy (burger place) in Nashville,TN, or the Burger Republic also in Nashville, TN. It's truly great to have this Reston location near my area since I've been mostly working from home for 9 months. The blue burger is my fav with parmesan aioli fries! Customer service was excellent and ambience is great with outdoor seating, perfect for social distancing. I also love my Riondi and followed by Justin Isosceles which goes very well red meat for its complex yet very smooth flavor!

Our first visit here, and we did takeout for my husband's birthday since he's a real burger guy. We each ordered the lobster bisque as an appetizer, and that was sadly on the bland "nothing to write home about" side. Only a tiny piece of lobster included, so it was mostly creamy lobster broth. I ordered the Capital Burger based on other Yelp reviews, and added some aged balsamic mushrooms to it. Cooked medium. Opted for the Brussel Sprouts rather than the traditional fries. It was excellent. Well prepared, the correct temp, good amount of toppings. The sprouts were on point - well cooked, some crispy leaves, well seasoned. My husband had the Cheeseburger with Vermont Cheddar, cooked medium, no acoutrements, with hand-cut fries. He really enjoyed it, and said it was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Although we couldn't get a sitter for his birthday, I tried to bring a special celebratory dinner home to him - and aside from the blah soup, it did not disappoint. I even liked how they fancied up the faux silverware (plastic; see pic) and rolled it in a nicer paper napkin that looked like the real cloth deal. We had been here before when it was Tavern 64, so we know the outdoor patio will be a nice spot on a less humid summer evening sometime soon. I'm looking forward to coming back and sitting outside, trying a cocktail or two from the menu, and going back for another Capital Burger. Yum!

Came here on a Tuesday night (10pm) got in on a late flight and there wasn't much open and I was looking for a convenient bite while staying at the Hyatt. Burgers aren't my "go to" usually but I was starving. Got the mushroom burger with a kale salad and was impressed, the salad hit, and had a Asian style dressing that was pretty good paired with the burger, which I didn't expect. The meat for the burger (medium-rare) was cooked perfectly and the truffle sauce with the mushrooms on top was the perfect choice. My server was attentive and straight to the point, which I loved since I was so hungry. I would definitely come back for a burger sometime.

Giving them 2 stars because the food was good. The service was very poor, we had to wait for so long before somebody could come and take our order. The way the server was leaving (loud banging without asking whose order was it) the stuff on our table was very rude...need to train the staff to be more courteous. The staff was not even making eye contact with us...forget about asking us if we needed anything. Not going back to this place again. Probably they get enough business from room service and don't need walk-ins.

We came for lunch on a Saturday, right at 11am when lunch service starts. We were on our way to someone's house, and I had skipped breakfast in expectation of early lunch, so we weren't looking for a "European style" relaxed service on this day, which means I probably didn't make the wisest selection for our lunch, but hubby was really jonesing for a "gourmet" burger. Service was incredibly slow, especially given that the restaurant was nearly empty. My husband saw our food sitting waiting to be picked up for several minutes for each course as well, and we're not really sure what our server was doing besides just wandering around and chatting with other staff. The server was formal and polite, but like I said, we really didn't want to just sit around and suck up the stuffy ambience that day. If we were doing "date night" it probably would have been ok. The good news was, the burgers were great. He had the Capital burger (caramelized onions, gruyere, some kind of aoili), I ordered the bacon cheeseburger (candied bacon, tomato jam, Vermont cheddar). Both were really good, mine was better because I am a sucker for tomato jam. My first Asian fusion burger I ever had years ago had tomato jam on it, and I've had a soft spot for it ever since. Hubby agreed, he would order mine next time. But his was really good too - you can't go wrong with either one. Both 5/5 burgers, where I just like one flavor better than the other. We had the deviled eggs w/ candied bacon appetizer. They were pretty good, maybe 3/5 but not amazing and not quite what I was expecting, so I probably wouldn't order them again. I was actually expecting bits of candied bacon atop or mixed into the egg/mustard creme - but the bacon came separately in a glass, and I wondered if it were perhaps leftover from the brunch service as it was not freshly cooked but was cold and hard. The "candied" part wasn't as obvious as I would expect either. The filling was more tart than usual. For sides, hubby had fries and I had a caesar. Hubby thought his fries were really good. The caesar was fine, but the lettuce was just on the ok side of being a little too old to serve... at a less fancy establishment. At Capital burger, I want my lettuce to be full on fresh. All in all, I'm rounding up to 4 because the burgers themselves were REALLY REALLY good 5 star burgers. The rest of the experience was more 3 star level, not up to Capital Grille standards. We'd come back but only if we weren't in a hurry.

Food and service are exceptional. Breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg is maybe the best I've ever had. Service is polite and attentive. Staff operate as a solid team. Bar offering is solid - especially if you like bourbon. Highly recommend for a meal or drinks or both.
