Great appetizers and burgers, maybe best in town! Cocktails were also amazing.
I had the Grapefruit Martini and was pleasantly surprised at how well the gin, grapefruit, lemon, and thyme complemented each other - great combination!
My friend got the bacon Old Fashioned. The drink was great but I was shocked that it did not come with a clear ice cube. Anyone going this far with their cocktails should invest time to make clear ice for their cocktails.
We stopped in here on our way to make a flight out of Dulles airport. Overall, we had a very nice experience. The stand out was the Capital burger with caramelized onions. It was absolutely delicious. The cheeseburger was good, but paled in comparison to the Capital burger.
Prices were pretty reasonable for the location and quality of the food. The restaurant is well used and could use a good deep cleaning and freshening.
Our service was excellent.
Parking is free in the local garage after 5 PM. You pay for parking on the street and the restaurant does not validate.
Choosing The Capital Burger for a business luncheon was the right choice. It was the first visit for both myself and my guest. Shortly after the hostess seated us at our table, we were greeted by our server, Danielle, who was thoroughly delightful and professional. She answered our questions regarding recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods. She also cleared the table between courses and efficiently handled the payment.
The food was delicious, and the atmosphere contributed to a mutual exchange of valuable information flowing both ways between me and my guest. All food ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Especially unique were the complimentary, exceptionally flavorful, large gherkin pickle slices as an appetizer. My burger arrived cooked to order, juicy, served on a sesame hamburger roll with leaf lettuce, tomato slice, and onion slice. My lunch companion savored the taste of his Southern-Style Fried Chicken Sandwich. Both of our entrees came with remarkably delicious fresh-cut fries seasoned with sea salt. Plating presentation was artfully done. I enjoyed a perfectly balanced lemonade with just a hint of mint and sweetness.
The furnishings, tables, and chairs have substantial weight, and earth tones are throughout the interior architecture, with subdued lighting and a quiet atmosphere favorable for conversation. Tableware is hefty (glasses, dishes, flatware, and linen napkins), characteristic of steak houses. Upon leaving the restaurant, my guest suggested we meet at TCB for our next meeting in a month or so.
The burger was amazing, hands down cooked as ordered and tons of flavor. The lobster roll was also excellent. A little pricey but good. Food server great but once finished they want you outa that table.
Favorite burger place in DMV. Delicious burgers 🔥 amazing service with very attentive and friendly servers, including Keith and Perry who took care of our table.
We tried the mushroom/Swiss burger, blue cheese truffle, and the capital burger; all were great but the blue cheese was my favorite. The kitchen was very fast two times I visited in the afternoon/noon.
We’ll be back!
Excellent food and good service. I had the mushroom burger which was very flavourful and the patty was just the right amount of tender. The fries were ok, and I suppose that if anything this is one aspect that could be further enhanced. I thought that the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food.
I have eaten many of lunches and dinners here with pleasant experiences. The food has always been yummy. That was until today. I came for breakfast and I was disappointed. Ordered the blueberries pancakes but got pancakes with a side of blueberries. They do not put the blueberries inside the pancakes and apparently, even on request, the kitchen could not accommodate. It is a shame something as simple as this couldn't be marketed or presented well. At least on the menu, it should mention pancakes with a side of blueberries so that patrons know what they are ordering.
One of, if not the best burger I’ve ever had!
Friendly and quick service. Not the biggest menu, but most people will find something to enjoy. Everything we ordered was delicious. And they cook the burgers to a real medium, super juicy. Most restaurants will only cook med/well. Highly recommended. Not super pricey either.
Don’t validate parking.
Cool high-end burger bar. Great social place for a few evening beers or cocktails. Standing room only with lively conversations. Couple TVs in the background with local sports.
Food was decent. Service was very good. Parking in the garage is cheap and easy.
So I discovered Capital Burger in DC and was floored by both the food and the service. Fingers crossed that I would see the same at the VA location. First off, huge shout out to Kyle who took excellent care of me while I was dining. He was engaging, polite, and professional.
The food???? There are no words, it was amazing, outstanding, heavenly!! Everything was perfect, from the pickles to the burger, which was cooked to perfection, to my drink. I was so full, but Kyle talked me in to a salted caramel milkshake. I'm so glad he did, holy cow it was off the charts delicious, lip smacking goodness, liquid gold.
When you walk in, the bar is off to the right and dining is off to the left. The bar was very busy when I went, and while you could hear the activity, it wasn't overly loud. There's also a nice outdoor patio.
Stop in if you're in the area, ask to be seated in Kyle's section. He'll make sure you have everything you need.
