Sunshine General Store

I’ve been hearing about the burgers at Sunshine General Store for several years now, and yesterday’s drive home from Walter Reed finally gave me the perfect excuse to stop in and try it for myself. Sometimes the best food is found in a true hole-in-the-wall — and this place fits the bill. First opened in 1947, Sunshine General Store is a beloved, no-frills American diner tucked away in Brookeville, Maryland. It’s the kind of place that feels unchanged in all the right ways. I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger loaded with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, and hot peppers. The photo doesn’t do it justice. The burger was packed with flavor, the bacon was cooked perfectly, and there was something about the hot pepper spread that gave it that extra kick. It’s the kind of flavor profile yo

A short hop from several breweries and winerys. This is an excellent food option. People love the burgers which are served up fresh when you order. They are also reasonably priced. Be aware of the hours before heading out there... But a solid stop on your way out to some do the local spots. Suggestion: just list the available toppings. The person helping us seemed pretty annoyed by having to list off the options. Everyone is used to 5 Guys these days. Let them look at the sheet and pick. No need for the snarky "whatever you want." Tell you what... How about shiitake mushrooms with gold foil? No. Don't have have that? Then don't answer with "whatever you want on it "

When I heard this place was voted as the Best Burger in Maryland, I was skeptical — but it really lived up to the title. Burger patties so fat they need their own zip code, and enough delicious sauces to make a Southerner cry. Get the burger, ask for everything, and be prepared to strike every single taste bud in your mouth. 10/10!

Finally made it out to try this much heralded burger and I wasn't disappointed. Far from the best burger I've had (I've had many across many cities and a few continents!), but it's an excellent and simple burger. There's a robust, juicy patty that is perfectly grilled medium. They top it off with fresh lettuce, tomato and onions and there's a thin and tasty and toasted sesame seed bun. Mustard, ketchup are options but I favored just having it with a generous amount of mayo and it was perfect. I also got the steak and cheese to go and had it for dinner and it was solid as well. Definitely not a choice cut of ribeye or sirloin, this is a processed meat with the consistency of lamb gyro meat, but it's salty and delicious. And again accented with lettuce, tomato and fried onions, and on a d

Having read about the burgers in various local media, I read the Google reviews and became excited to locate a potential quality burger place in MoCo. After the closing of many restaurants, it has become a necessity. So I have been searching and trying places for the last few weeks to no avail. My wife happened to be passing the area so she picked me up a burger. Please understand that there was about an hour between the time that the burger was cooked and I received it. Regardless, I doubt that the wait influenced the burger much beyond one issue that I will mention later. The burger patty itself was large and the beef was quality. With that said, it wasn't seasoned well and the patty was cooked medium well but closer on the well done side. The patty was fairly dry, but you wouldn't know
