Lots of choices. Great for large-scale groups with all kinds of dietary needs including gluten free options

Kriston László

Best fast food restaurant in the USA, plus points for the gluten-free bun, but the service is terribly slow...

**Satisfying Experience at The Capital Burger 🍔🍟** Dining at The Capital Burger was an absolutely delightful experience that I am eager to recount. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, perfectly setting the stage for a wonderful meal. 🌟 Our party indulged in a variety of selections from their tempting menu, beginning with the delectable bacon cheeseburgers. Each burger was crafted with precision, featuring juicy patties complemented by the rich, smoky flavor of bacon and perfectly melted cheese. The Capital Burger, a signature dish, did not disappoint either; it stood out with its harmonious blend of flavors and tender texture. 🍔 For those in our group with dietary preferences, the bacon cheeseburger with a gluten-free bun was a notable highlight. The bun held up beautifully, maintaining the integrity and taste of the classic burger experience. It’s heartening to see such considerate options available, ensuring everyone has a satisfying meal. For our little one, the children’s grilled cheese meal was a hit. Simple yet delicious, it was a comforting choice that appealed to their taste perfectly. 🧀 What truly enhanced our dining adventure was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive and kind, ensuring our experience was seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. 🙌 In conclusion, The Capital Burger offers not just fantastic food but an overall exceptional dining experience. It’s a place I look forward to visiting again soon, and I highly recommend it to others seeking both taste and quality. 🍽️

Amazing gluten free pizza! I have never tasted this type of pizza in a gluten free format! A must try.

If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.

Great atmosphere and amazing service! Cool place to sit down and get some homework done. I was lucky enough to find a seat right away, but it was crowded- the place seems very popular! I got an iced oat milk latte with lavender and it was very good! I also got a gluten-free chocolate muffin, but it was honestly pretty dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Our party of 4 had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. 2 of us are celiac or gluten intolerant, they have a whole gluten free menu and we were very satisfied with the food and the wonderful service.

Had an amazing time here! This will be my go-to spot in Georgetown. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Loved the cocktails!

Geina Tharp

This place is a must!!! Great options for gluten free! They also have vegan chili and turkey burgers. Ben's is iconic!!! Do not skip!

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy, please do not go here. I would say I've requested a gluten free bun 8 times at this location, and every time it has been a normal one. I've been to other locations where they do pay attention and accommodate gluten free buns on the burgers. You pay extra for a "gf bun" while you are being ripped off-- even when if you specifically mark that you have a gluten and wheat allergy/sensitivity. To whoever manages the store, please stop offering gluten free buns if you are continually making people sick.

Very good gluten free chocolate cheesecake.

Patrick Fleming

Hamburger and chicken sandwich place with gluten free options. They even place the gluten free items on a separate tray if you tell them it's allergy related.

The food here is delicious. Hits the spot when you want a burger, fries, and shake – which is what I usually order. Specifically the cheeseburger with mushroom bacon, and sometimes the crispy chicken sandwich. They offer both herb french fries and sweet potato crinkles, both are yum. Their Oatoasty milkshakes are great, and come in a variety of flavors. Can’t forget the sauces also, love dipping my fries in the spicy aioli, maple mustard, and Plnt Sauce. The burgers/sandwiches are on the smaller side, but it’s not really a big deal for me. If I want more, I order two. Oh, and they offer gluten free buns, as well as Swiss chard wrap as a bun alternative. Not very many fully vegan/plant based restaurants in my area, so I love stopping by Plnt Burger whenever I’m in DC.

Joia Burgers on Wisconsin Ave (DC) serves a tasty smashed burger on a fluffy potato bun with melty American cheese. The Joia Toppings were fresh and flavorful, but the Papaya Salad topping didn’t sit well with me 🤢. They offer gluten-free buns for $0.50. The burger was solid, but a bit overpriced for what it is. The Ube soft serve was fun but lacked enough magnolia vanilla flavor for that rich, creamy texture. Ambience was quiet for a Friday, but the customer service was outstanding—friendly and attentive!

We have been to the Nashville location many times, and we're so excited to try the location in DC. The food was great, and we now have new favorites that we hadn't tried before. This is a great place for anyone. But especially for those with celiac or just need gluten-free without the worry of cross contamination. The crispy zucchini is a must.

Yummy food but PRICEY! Our tab was $70 for two burgers and two drinks. Up charge for a gluten free bun was $4. For a vegetarian patty $3. Pickles $1. Onion rings instead of fries? Up charge. Can of cider? $8. I think there was a service fee on there as well. We enjoyed the food but for $35/person you expect something exceptional.

Susie Wright

Love this place! Great to see happy staff! Food was awesome! Our 9byear old had the sliders and fries and is a fussy eater but never left crumb! I had the smokehouse sandwich, and am gluten intolerant, the staff were so helpful and made it with a gluten free bun even though it's not on the menu. It was delicious! It's been so long since I have enjoyed a burger/sandwich. Staff were attentive and not pushy! We also have the buffet breakfast included in our stay at the hotel, once again, staff were great in grabbing me some gluten free bread from the kitchen. Daughter was unwell and staff were happy for me to take some cereal and yoghurt back to our room for her. After our day out we grabbed some fries and tots to tske back to our room, it was great to see 2 young lads working with great personalities and enjoyed conversing with us! Well done boys! You are great faces for this company.

I got the avocado bacon burger and it was delicious 😋. My friend got a gluten free burger and also liked it, in particular the gluten free bun was very good, above average. The food was made quickly, the bathrooms were nice, and they have made the switch to having two gender neutral, single person bathrooms instead of arbitrarily labeling them. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat down by the wharf.

Jackie Palmer

Very hard to find this place. Signs indicated in one food court but actually need to enter the hotel across street and go down some stars in the lobby (we asked concierge, very helpful) and then go all way to end of mall area, turn left and it's there. Once you find it, food is delicious! They use canola oil so great for my soy allergy. My fried was vegan, gluten free and they had a vegan burgers and GF bun. The normal fries are house seasoned which is very yummy. The sweet potato fries were very good too.

Eh. You get to build your burger with an array of spices and sauces. Fries are good. There are gluten friendly bun options, which is appreciated. No fountain drinks, all options are bottle or can. Flavorful food but overpriced in my opinion.

Smoray

Tasty vegan food! I got the cheeseburger, herb fries, and chocolate oat milk shake. I was able to get a gluten-free bun for my burger. Would definitely go here again.
