Build Your Own Burger at Z-Burger Tenleytown
[Directions from Tenley View to Z Burger Tenleytown]
Take a break from the In-N-Out vs. Shake Shack vs. Five Guys debates and head to Z-Burger. This is a DC staple spot for the tastiest All-American burgers and shakes, and they’ve been featured on everything from The History Channel to The Wall Street Journal.
Plenty of people rave about the malt-vinegar topped fries, thick, rich shakes, and friendly staff, but the thing that really sets Z-Burger apart is their free topping policy.
Irish Whiskey Burger at Kitty O’Shea’s DC
[Directions from Tenley View to Kitty O’Shea’s DC]
If you’re not getting the excellent Guinness stew, you must try the Irish Whiskey Burger. Or just get both. Sink your teeth into 8 ounces of ground Angus Steak, glazed in a house whiskey mesquite sauce and smothered in cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. You can choose between fries, chips, or a side salad. (Hint: Fries. Every day, all day.)
The Cajun Burger at Tenley Bar & Grill
[Directions from Tenley View to Tenley Bar & Grill]
This Tenleytown gastropub sports bar hybrid has our hearts, especially when a Cajun Burger is on the table. The menu is full of mouthwatering options, but this particular option is brimming with flavor—a spicy Cajun seasoned grass-fed black Angus beef burger with crispy onions, creamy ranch, and peppery jack cheese. If this sounds like a commercial, we’re sorry. We couldn’t help it. Side note: try the Rosemary Tater Tots or Crispy Mac and Cheese Bites on the side.
Haight-Ashbury (Veggie) Burger at Burger Tap & Shake
[Directions from Tenley View to Burger Tap & Shake]
If you’re not the meat-eating type, head to Burger Tap and Shake for a delectable Haight-Ashbury veggie burger. It’s not your usual meatless patty; it’s a crunchy falafel patty with a cilantro mint sauce, pickled veggies, and feta cheese. Technically, this would be considered a falafel sandwich, but the homemade soft buns make it a stellar burger.
Spanish Burger at Bread & Salt
[Directions from Tenley View to Bread & Salt]
Bread and Salt’s Spanish Burger might be the best thing on this menu. We know that’s a bold statement, but it’s pretty close to true. It’s an 80% ground beef and 20% chorizo mix, served with cilantro, onions, pepper jack cheese, tomato, and a side of yummy salsa. You can’t go wrong with the Spanish Burger!
