The Capital Burger

"This Capital Grill offshoot has a barrel-aged negroni on its menu to pair with its burgers and sandwiches, priced at a reasonable $12." - Travis Mitchell

"The Capital Grille’s offshoot burger joint has a lunch and dinner takeout menu in Mt. Vernon Triangle. The signature Capital Burger is dubbed “a take on French onion soup you can hold in your hands,” topped with caramelized onions, gooey Wisconsin Grand cru gruyère, and shallot aioli." - Tierney Plumb

"The Washington Post’s Tim Carman weighs in on Mount Vernon Square’s the Capital Burger, which he calls “a steakhouse for burgers, without the tablecloths and the tufted, black-leather booths.” He’s conflicted on the upscale take on the humble burger, but he’s into the steakhouse burger itself. The restaurant stands by its patty so much that diners need to ask for lettuce and tomato. “The ground-beef patty, all by itself, is a thing of beauty: thick, luscious and reliably cooked to your preferred temperature,” Carman writes, but there can be an issue with too much salt." - Adele Chapin

"Every meal at area newcomer Capital Burger starts out with a free mason jar brimming with semi-sweet, crunchy pickle chips that are perfect for nibbling on before lunch or dinner. Or slip a few onto a featured burger to add a funky vinegary pop to every bite." - Tim Ebner

"Staff at this casual spin-off of steak chain the Capital Grille tout a French onion-style burger as the runaway favorite, but tell Eater a mushroom-Swiss combo and truffle-blue cheese creation continue battling it out for second. It’s no contest. The truffle burger delivers sauteed onions spooned into a mass of fragrant blue cheese that runs down the sides of the juicy patty." - Eater Staff
