Jason HermanOctober 4, 2013These guys helped support furloughed Federal Employees in 2013 with free food. I will forever be grateful for their assistance & support. Great burgers, great veggie burgers, & great fries!
Claire RivkinJanuary 13, 2015Z-Sandwich, long in coming, finally arrived this year and is delicious! The salad bar is the best in dc for value, quality and variety combined and the staff is very friendly.
Johnny OrlandoSeptember 1, 2022🍔Hand-crafted to order with endless toppings, grilled to perfection!!
Hannah LuddySeptember 15, 2016Great variety of milkshakes, and the burgers are very tasty with a lot of options. Awesome for students!
- Chris MooreFebruary 7, 20155 Guys, with shakes. The burgers are better than Shake Shack, BTS. The burger joint winner in my eyes.
The burgers, fries, and shakes are all great. Onion rings are a little doughy, but if you like that then they're fine
Milkshake combinations are the best in the country. 1 large fry can feed 3-4 people easy. Burgers are boss.
Miss GraceNovember 21, 2012Burgers are great!! Bigger and juicer than Five-guys. fries are eh! Z-sauce for the burger or fries.
I had some of the chocolate and peanut butter shake. It changed my life for the better.- Get a jalepeno, onion, relish and mustard bacon burger. No grease, very tasty!
The shakes are to die for! Burgers are great too, not too greasy. Customer service is iffy...
Khatiera AndersonJune 25, 2011The double cheeseburger with a birthday cake milkshake =amazing! And it doesn't hurt that the manager is super nice.
Chris CombsApril 3, 2010The onion rings here are unusually doughy--more like sweet and sour chicken than tempura, if that makes sense. I like 'em but they're an acquired taste among my friends.
RandleSeptember 23, 2012The management are good people. Unequivocally some of the best in any food place I have ever been to
One of the only places in the area that has birch beer in the soda fountain. Take advantage of it
Don't get a turkey burger here. Not sure why, but they can take as long as 20-25 minutes.

CedricNovember 29, 2012Not bad. The milkshakes are good. The burgers aren't bad. Fries are good albeit very seasoned. There are no napkins in sight; weird for a burger joint.- Manager is really nice and the onion rings are the best in the city
Lisa JohnsonMarch 31, 2012I don't understand all the hype over "Five Guys." Z Burger is far and away a better burger joint. Expensive, though. Make sure to try the onion rings!
- Chris CombsApril 3, 2010Delicious burgers, but skip the guac - it's more a thin avocado paste than a proper guacamole.
Ditto on the onion rings. These are how they should be!
