Z Burger

Goal: Wanted fries to go with leftovers.I had been to Z Burger before but not this location. I had been to this location when it was a Jerry's Subs and thus when finding out that was closed I found out about this location.When I stopped in there was one group eating and otherwise the restaurant was empty. Despite this the person behind the counter on their cellphone did not look up. I stood semi in front of him, no dice. I moved to checkout area, no dice. I pretended to look at menu, no dice. I clicked the "Welcome" screen they have next to the fastpay in case it was a self order, as far as I could tell it was not. I looked over at the guy who finally looked up and took my order.As mentioned by another review, there's a charge for serving and packaging. Mine was $.49 so I guess, comparing with that review, it scales with your order size.I was annoyed but I assumed that was carry out (not dissimilar from plastic bag charges at grocery store) but reading it also applies to dine in seems a shady way to avoid making prices higher. There is no warning I saw that this charge would be applied.For those two things 4*s.Other than that no real fuss, it was just fries. Goal achieved.Came with napkins, z-sauce (think sweet thousand island) and ketchup without prompting.The fries are (still) good, comparable to 5 Guys, a smidge less oily and firmer.The large is outragously sized for 1 person even bigger than 5 Guys (also more expensive). Unlike 5 Guys, they have 3 sizes making me wonder if the regular is sized like 5 Guys large.I also noticed they sell pizza there which the other ZBurger location I went to did not - I cannot say if this one is special or they're brancing. Also the seating seemed a bit tight but I didn't eat there so didn't affect my review.Maybe review update some day.PS: For people who have never been here but have been to 5 Guys from previous experience their burgers IMO are also comparable and their shake selection and other things besides burgers selection is superior (tho I've never had anything but burger/fries/shake so your milage may vary).

This was maybe the best burger I have had in my life; and I am 47 and have had many burgers;)!! I got the double cheese burger today with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo and ketchup. The bun was fresh, and the patties were perfectly cooked and the grilled onions and cheese were just the perfect amount. I am SO glad I finally tried this place in my new hood. Way better than Five Guys, Shake Shack, Steak n' Shake, Freddie's...the list goes on. Seriously! Y'all need to go!!! Next time, I'll try the fries. Didn't hurt that the service was nice too.

I ate a lot of z burger while in college. I'm glad there are more locations. For me the onion rings, cheesesteak, and ordering extra sauce is the move. I actually prefer z burger over 7th street burger that recently opened up. I even recommended z burger to my coworker and he ended up ordering it the same night I did. Food came out pretty quickly which is always a challenge with onions rings because they've always fried them fresh when I'd order them in person. Big fan of z burger, some of the pricing seems expensive now and this time the onion rings were a bit oilier than I remember. I still highly recommend it.

About a 1-1.5: Z-Burger is a local D.C. burger chain with several locations. We had visited the one in Tenleytown years ago, so we were interested in trying out the new one that had just opened off of Pickett.The menu offers hand-crafted burgers, chicken sandwiches, vegetarian options (grilled cheese sandwiches and veggie (black bean) burgers), hot dogs, cheesesteaks, fries, onion rings, and hand-spun shakes & malts.Standard toppings include mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, fried onions, sauteed mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard; in terms of sauces, they have the Z-Sauce, BBQ, hot sauce, A1, honey mustard, mango mayo, and chipotle mayo. They also have the following free toppings available: raw onions, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, relish, banana peppers, crushed red peppers, sweet peppers, sauerkraut, honey mustard, pepper & salt, and Z-Seasoning. Premium toppings include onion rings, applewood bacon, fried egg guacamole, and potato chips.We came here for an early dinner, and we ordered:+a single Hamburger - with mayo, fried onions, raw onions, and jalapeno peppers; this came with a sesame-seeded topped bun; the burger itself was okay; it was juicy and a pretty simple burger+1/2 Fries & 1/2 Onion Rings - these were just not good - both the fries and the onion rings were just undercooked/under fried; the potatoes were raw, and the onions inside the batter were raw; they both looked so promising, as they portions were generous (came in two separate bags), and they were hand-cut and super large in size+a small soda - they have Pepsi productsWe also noticed that there was a menu that were offering various pizza by the slices; the staff told us that they'll come at a later time - interesting!I'm glad I was able to give this location a try, but I think I'd rather go to other burger places than return here again.There's a handful of seating inside - a couple of booths, a table, and a counter seating.Staff were friendly.Note that there's an automatic charge for bags on your receipt - make sure that if you don't require one, to let the staff know so that they can refund that to you - I just feel that it's super unfair to add on fees like that without letting the patrons know!Plenty of parking in the small plaza lot; just be aware of speeding cars (no Stop signs in the lot) and pedestrians.+undercooked fries/onion rings+automatic bag/packaging charge!+friendly staff+free parking in shared plaza lot

Food - The burgers here are decent. If you're someone that loves burgers, believe me, there are way better options out there. But, the food here isn't terrible. It's your typical burger spot with fries and a drink. Service - customer service here is okay. They tend to get orders right, which is important because I'll turn around and kick the doors open and walk in like "who made my order!" Better recognize! Ambiance - Ehh

I came here one day for a quick bite to eat when I was downtown for a conference. First my order was totally messed up. I seldom ask a place to redo it but it wasn't even close. I also found it interesting that this business charges a packaging fee on their order especially when I planned to dine in. I didn't need all the packaging they gave me. Although I don't eat out as much as I did pre-Covid I have never seen this fee added anywhere. I realize the cost of things have gone up but I feel this would go better pre-built into prices. Plus if it was my kid and gave them cash to pay they may not have have calculated enough based on this fee. In addition the tip screen pop up (15, 20, 25, other) when you ordered at the counter where the man at the counter stared at me and the screen. Tips are popping up allover the place and I am not sure what fast food tipping should be if any. My quick fast food meal that was not very good was $22. The place also felt pretty unclean.I won't be back.

This was our go to burger spot for a while! Kinda reminds me of a five guys burger but not as greasy. I usually order a double bacon burger with their standard toppings (Mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, fried onion, sautéed mushrooms, ketchup, mustard) with z sauce on the side. I like that they give a fresh piece of tomato and lettuce. It helps balance the fatty parts of the burger. I also like the z style fries and their original crispy chicken sandwich with z sauce.

Reminds me of Five Guys and all their elements. Clean spot but a small space for eating. Food was good and hot and not as disappointing as the other reviewers seemed to think IMO. 75 flavors of shakes is impressive but I did not try. Even though we ate in, they charged a $2 packaging fee. I can see supplies being wasted on a daily. No complaints from me yet.

I just had the double cheeseburger, and it doesn't taste the same as it used to. I feel like the quality of the meat has declined, and I don't think I'll be coming back.

Looking for a perfectly made to order burger, hot dog, philly cheese steak, or designer one of a kind home made milk shake? This is your newest go to location. The restaurant is spotless so clean the floors were shiny and looking back into the kitchen was exactly the same. The crew was polite, professional and extremely patient as I made my order. Food was just as I had requested, no surprises in the bag when I arrived home to the family. I will be back. Highly recommend.
