"Capitol Hill’s Tune Inn is a shrine to all things fried, so of course fried pickles are on the menu here. The pickle spears are coated with the restaurant’s special beer batter, fried, and dished out with ranch dressing." - Hannah Yasharoff, Missy Frederick
"The Capitol Hill dive has been around forever, and they keep drinkers satisfied as early as 8 a.m. daily." - Missy Frederick
"Tune Inn reopened in November 2011 after a fire shut it down for a few months. But before that fire, it had been a classic hangout since 1947. It’s less of a dive now but is still a beloved Capitol Hill hangout, serving up burgers, French dip sandwiches, and more." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"For an assortment of bar snacks, breakfast platters, and half-pound burgers, head to Capitol Hill's iconic Tune Inn, which serves food until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays (about an hour before closing), and till 1 a.m. every other night." - Missy Frederick, Eater Staff
"The scene: A classic Capitol Hill dive where pols and bikers have bonded over burgers for more over 70 years. What to order: Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, mozzarella sticks, Joe’s West Virginia (roast beef)" - Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
