Basic Burger - Lenfant Plaza

Bacon double burger: 9/10 The first bite of this burger was full of flavor. I recommend the secret sauce with it. After a car ride home the burger wasn’t much to look at but was great! About the size of my fist a bit bigger it was a large burger and definitely worth the money for the combo $19 to get the fries and drink included. 4/5 seasoned fries: good but not the star of the show it was crispy and seasoned well. During lunch I wouldn’t go to this location unless you work in the plaza. Parking was hard to find and $15 for 1 hour if you use the plaza parking.

The Basic Burger place recently opened in L'Enfant Plaza so it's great to have another lunch option at work. I decided to try the cheeseburger to test out their ability to accomplish the basics. I am happy to report they did a great jog. The bun was soft and didn't fall apart while still melting in my mouth. The meat was tender and juicy. The veggies were crisp and actually tasted fresh. They were not wilted or gooey like most restaurant comparable to Basic Burger. And I loved the sauce on the burger. So great job! My review is based only on the food but I will say that the burger was a bit pricey for being so simple, about $10. However, the one thing that really annoyed me was the use of those fancy take away bags! I only ordered one little burger and it was given to me in a big fancy ba

Hot dog was tasty but not worth $11. No reason to return.

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.

Phenomenal burger. We both enjoyed the bacon double cheeseburger. Grab plenty of napkins. Burgers are fresh and juicy. Borderline sloppy. Yet so, so good. This spot gets a huge lunch hour crowd. We can see why. Friendly folks working here. Definitely a new go to spot when visiting DC.
