Thunder Burger & Bar

"Thunder Burger & Bar in Georgetown is one of those places that knows what it does well and sticks to it, so the burgers here are delicious. But none are better than the Love Me Tender—a kobe beef patty topped with white cheddar cheese and a sweet housemade remoulade. It’s the kind of burger where the juice runs down your hands and pools back on the plate (even when it’s well done), soaking all that flavor back into the toasted brioche bun. The burger joint is especially popular with parents looking for an easy way to quell the hungry bellies of their kids—but also grab a stiff drink." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"Craving a juicy patty to sink your teeth into? Thunder Burger is your spot. During the day, you’ll find families lining the pink zebra-skin booths to grab a bite after a day of walking the C&O Canal. But the afterwork (and after-school) crowd takes over later in the day—mostly grabbing a drink or two at the sparkly bar. While this burger joint serves up bison burgers (and impossible burgers), the beef is the best. Get the Love Me Tender, a kobe burger that drips down your arm every time you take a bite." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"Good burgers are tough to come by, but Thunder Burger & Bar does them well, and in every meat (and non-meat) option you can think of. Beef, pork, chicken, impossible, black bean, bison, you name it. Pop into a pink zebra-skin booth at the Georgetown restaurant to grab a quick bite before the show. If you’re in a rush, food comes out fast, but you can also chill out and grab a drink or two at the sparkly new bar. Get the Love Me Tender, a juicy kobe beef burger served with a sweet housemade remoulade and crispy fries. " - tristiana hinton

"Take a less refined approach to game meats with a bun and patty from this Georgetown burger bar. Chow down on the “Born to be Wild” boar burger with pineapple salsa. For something more funky try the “Elk River Falls” variation with ground elk meat, herbs and mustard seeds." - Travis Mitchell
