Duke’s Grocery is a quintessential DC networking spot serving traditional American food that will never disappoint. I have gone here quite regularly, and I’m always met with the same level of decent hospitality. Although the place will not “wow” you, it will do its job for the fairly priced menu and great locations. Whether meeting friends or mentors, this place is versatile and appeases any tastes. They have indoor and outdoor dining options, including high and low tops and bar seats. I believe it’s a better, more low key environment than it’s neighboring competitor, Founding Farmers. Come here to avoid the lunch lines elsewhere and enjoy great brews and burgers!
The atmosphere on the inside is lively, you will have a blast with a group or the bartender. If you prefer a more quiet setting they will seat you outside in front or outside in the back, the inclosed market are which has a nice vibe. I am a repeated customer who would urge anyone I know to give the Proper Burger a try. They are so good my fiancé and I ordered a third one to share. There are multiple options for vegetarians. The service was so awesome I’m sure they would accommodate for vegans.
Unbelievable burgers. This is a must visit in DC.
Giving tavern/pub vibes, the restaurant is located in the Western Market of DC with both indoor and outdoor seating.
The staff are incredibly kind and provide great service.
For food, I'd recommend their Proper Burger or their Wagyu Beef Burger, and their house-made fries are delicious.
There is also a Pho Joint connected to the restaurant which is surprisingly also an option on the menu
Cool, British pub hangout spot near the white house and downtown. Happy hour, brunch on the weekends, and amazing lunch/dinner.
Burger is stellar, as is the BLTA. Fries were chrispy and fresh. Overall a great experience on a bustling Saturday afternoon.
The Burgers at Duke's ever disappoints and the pancake brunch was executed well. But the star is the BURGER. The first time you go, get the Proper or the Wagyu, then if you go back and feel you can even justify ordering anything else, go ahead.
The service at the Foggy Bottom location was lack luster and the out door "booth" tables could use some TLC. But overall still a must in DC.
This is another awesome location for Duke's Grocery. We generally come here for the burgers and other menu options. Making a reservation is generally a good idea. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Service is good as well. We enough the ambiance and the food here. Among our favorites are:
The Proper Burger
Fish and Chips
White Truffle Mac and Cheese
Fired Up Chicken
Taken With Liberty
The desserts are nice too and good enough to share.
The cocktails can be a bit of a miss sometimes.
The consistency of the quality of the food and service makes it our top spot for burgers and the other menu items ❤️💕
Perfect for a weekend brunch ! Loved their truffle Mac & Cheese very much.
Met friends here for brunch. Overall good time and my burger was great. Service could’ve been faster but it was busy so understandable!
Great menu selection and I would love to visit again.
A great won’t break the bank local place. Good food, service, and atmosphere. Not a touristy as Founding Farmers down the road and significantly easier to get a table at. We called and said we’d be there in 5 minutes and they said great we have an open table and will put your name on it! Burger was fantastic and unique. Would recommend.
Excellent pub and restaurant with a lively atmosphere! The place takes on a worldly theme with a full sized English telephone booth located in the corner and not too mention their culturally eclectic menu. The food was great and the staff was nice. I could see why many people at George Washington university would go for food and fun. Hope this helps!
