Enjoyed a Red Apron Original burger along with a beer from their plentiful selection on a nice sunny day! For only $13 the double patty burger and a side of fries felt like quite the bargain in DC. If it wasn’t so nice outside I would’ve definitely stayed at the bar, the skateboard decks are a nice touch.
We love coming to Red Apron to get their burgers and rosemary garlic fries. The burgers are always amazing, and dare I say the best burger I’ve had in DC so far. Their bottled cocktails are fantastic (and strong) as well!
The customer service was outstanding as was the food. The chefs take great care in preparing and presenting tasty sandwiches with just the right amount of spice and sauce. The pulled pork is the best I have ever tasted. Well done Red Apron Union Market.
The sandwiches at Red Apron are really tasty, but it seems a bit pricey although you could probably say that for most of Union Market. The Porkstrami sandwich though was really tasty, moist and full of flavor and the French fried are really a great as they are cooked with fresh herbs. Also seem to have a butcher's counter as well and they are best busy. The flow to the inside counter to order is a little non-intuitive as you pass the menu to order, but very tasty food. Not enough seating though for this busy stall.
I stopped in union to grab a quick bite to eat and I decided to try the chorizo burger. To my surprise it was really good. The staff at red apron was cool and my food was made quickly. One of the best things about eating in this area is there is so much going on and I love the outdoor seating.
Porkstrami Sandwich
*twist on the traditional pastrami sandwich, shaved super thin and almost melts in your mouth, absolutely loved the sauerkraut reminded me of the sauerkraut I had in Berlin, not sour but rather savory and porky.
*since I got my order to go, I might ask for the bread to be on the side next time because the mustard aioli made the bread super soggy
Beef Fat Fries
*Super crunchy with the skin on, great with the rosemary and garlic, added a nice flavor to the fries
Spent $15 for lunch and I was super full and satisfied, definitely will be back. Interested in trying the beef and cheddar but reviews have been very mixed so I'm not sure.
I live near Union Market and have always been meaning to try this place. It's always packed and for good reason. I had the meatball sub and really highly recommend it. The salsa verde on top of the sauce is a good touch. It comes with two meatballs and it would be perfect if there was just one more. Still pretty reasonably priced for what you get.
Great burgers & beers. Sadly they closed down at the end of June 2022.
I am absolutely obsessed with the burger and fries here. I could sing praises to their fries. Get the fries. The restaurant can be a bit crowded at times, made worse by the general crowded atmosphere of Union Market, but food still manages to come out in a decent manner.
The first thing that stands out to you is the knowledge of the staff. I dare you to ask about any of the craft beer on their menu and not be prepared to be stunned by the rich, full length stories that can be provided about each of the hand selected brews on their menu.
The second thing that will slap you in the face is how perfect the meat ball sandwich is. If you don't come here and try this, you are missing out on the experience of a life time. Your first bites will blow your mind.
I definitely recommend stopping here for a beer and a meatball sandwich. You are crazy not to.
