Customer Reviews
Duke’s Grocery is a DC favorite known especially for their burgers. They’re an English-style pub known for having one of the best burgers in the city. Even though I’ve been to Western Market several times recently, this was my first visit to Duke’s Grocery. I came specifically to experience their holiday pop-up, part of Duke’s Destination Dreamland series, which runs through the first week of January 2026. Each of the five Duke’s Grocery locations is hosting a different holiday theme. Since this is my year of Wonderland, I had to visit the Alice in Wonderland–themed pop-up at the Western Market location in Foggy Bottom. The space was decorated throughout with Alice in Wonderland characters, and there’s a themed cocktail menu with playful, story-inspired drinks. I sat at the bar and orde
Solid visit for a burger and great happy hour deals. We went for dinner and the burgers were great, truffle Mac was excellent, and the bread pudding was lovely. Service was good, drinks were cheap, and atmosphere seemed dive bar meets knights of the round table with a few other oddities. I’d say, stop in if you’re looking for brunch, a burger, or great drink specials.
I went to Duke’s Grocery in Foggy Bottom and had an overall great time with friends. The service was decent, though our waitress wasn’t very attentive and we ended up waiting quite a while for the check, which was a little frustrating. That said, the burgers are excellent. The star of the menu was definitely their famous Proper Burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and worth every bit of the hype. Duke’s has a fun, laid-back vibe that feels equally great for casual after-work drinks or just hanging out with friends on a weeknight. Despite the slow service, I left happy and satisfied, and will definitely go back.
I placed an online to-do order after exploring the African American Museum, Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. Website was easy to use and it took about 20 mins before my order was ready. My interaction with staff was brief but very pleasant. Burger and fries were delicious.
Went on a non busy day, so we were seated as soon as we entered and the food itself was good. Unfortunately, the customer service really ruined the experience. After we ordered, no one checked on our table the entire time. We had to ask for water refills ourselves, and tables that arrived after us received their order before our appetizer. After finishing our appetizer, we were wondering where our main course was and finally asked an employee what was going on. Turns out our food had already been ready but just hadn’t been brought out until we asked. It was also very difficult to get anyone’s attention when we needed things like napkins, water refills, a to go box, or the check. Employees would look in our direction but wouldn’t come over to ask if we needed anything. At one point we even
