    Came into town last night , and tried this place it was close by, the meat was good on the Reuben but nothing to write home about, the service on the slow Tuesday was something else , waiting 15 minutes for my server to refill a drink. The food was average. Most likely wouldn’t come back here . The drinks also way over priced.

    First time going to this huge restaurant (super long) and it was good. Friendly, prompt and professional service. I did enjoy my crab cake sandwich and it came with a decent side green salad which was impressive to my boyfriend and I. They do have a service fee that they disclose on the menu so it’s an additional cost but it was still a nice meal. I would go back again for a different food experience. Clean bathroom too. I would recommend this place.

    The food was good and the service was quick. I ordered the Ruben with Tater Tots and my friend ordered the Chicken Cesar Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries. We both had coffee to drink and the bill including tip was around $20 per person. They had a nice selection of draft beers but unfortunately I was still too hungover to try any.

    While sightseeing wanted to stop and cool off and have some lunch. I had a burger, it was tasty. Hubby had the Ruben, he enjoyed it. Good choice of beers, service was OK, place was pretty empty. They do have a small outside patio. I think it would be a better place at night, nothing much to look at a little of a 'dive pub' feel. Prices a little high like ALL od DC. And I hope they have another bathroom somewhere, because 1 unisex bathroom for a bar? A little odd.

    This place was awesome! It is truly a hidden gem. It's a Wisconsin / Packers themed bar just steps away from the national mall. Had VERY affordable drinks ($4 for a PBR in a city like DC is unheard of). Food was good and reasonably priced.

    The burgers were overrated IMO. I got the Rodeo and my companion got the Flamethrower. My burger tasted like an overpriced Carl's Jr burger minus the mayo. Overall it was dry, it had generic BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. The top bun had nothing on it. I had to ask for mayo and more bbq sauce. The portion is decent, and I did appreciate that they give you several options for sides without an additional cost. We tried the tater tots and sweet potato fries. They were good. And they also have a decent selection of beers. The seating is crowded inside, and they sat us right in front of the main entrance hallway where there's very dim lighting and everyone passes through. Our 'waiter' might have been the bartender or bus boy, bc he didn't have the same color shirt as the other guy, and had a very dry attitude, no customer service whatsoever.

    We stopped into Hamilton's Bar and Grill early on a Saturday afternoon. It was not very crowded, but the staff seemed like they were expecting a lot more people imminently and were only marginally helpful with our small group. We decided to just stay for a quick drink (beers were cool, but not cold) and head out. Hopefully we just hit them on an off day.

    Great spot for all Wisconsin sports. Super friendly staff, and great atmosphere for Packers and Badger games. We went during a big Packers game so the surface was not the best, but they tried as best as they could. The food overall was not bad, but not great. Gavin, not sure if this is just because of being a really busy time with the Packer game.

    Employees were incredibly nice to our dogs. Great burgers and drinks. Seemed like a small town restaurant in a big city.

    We stopped in here for a snack and beverage while visiting the US Capitol. The chicken quesadillas were good. Beer selection also good

    Great service, food was tasty. Very accommodating. Walked here from the National Galary of Art on a Saturday evening and was very satisfied with our experience.

    Stumbled across this place since it is near to my hotel. I arrived as an older woman alone. We oFten get dismissed. Service was over the top. The bartender knows his drinks. Food was great. Besides the excellent food and drinks it was fun to observe and eavesdrop on young DC staffers.

    Walked here because it wasn't far from our hotel. It was quiet in the area at the time but they seemed to be preparing for an event. The French Dip sandwich I had might have been the best I've had anywhere. It's a pretty simple sandwich with not that many ingredients but it tasted fantastic. The staff was really friendly as well.

    Good selection of beers, some local beers on tap, really good wings. A coworker and I split some wings, pretzels, and fries while having a few beers. It was a great way to wind down a long day of hiking all over the Congressional offices. The service was excellent, and while we didn't take advantage of it, they had outdoor seating. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town on business.

    Popped in for a late lunch at the bar before heading to the airport. The bartenders took our order quick and ensured that the food was made timely as well given our short schedule. Our burgers were fantastic, cooked to temperature, great blend of toppings. The fries were a perfect outside crunch and soft potato on the inside.

    Solidly okay. Burgers were good but not great. Fries were better than nothing but far from good. Definitely a bit piecey for what you get.

    Only problem is a bit noisy. There are too many young people team players of kickball. Maybe could be good to put hem all together in the same area. For the rest we had the best wings of washington. And the blue cheese burguer was very nice too. We are cabin crew and our hotel it's really near by and the waiter blond with a Pitbull dog was very nice with us. It's cheap and very good food. I recommend it to all my colleagues for when we have a layover in Washington. See you soon!

    Great time as always here! I ordered the spicy crab sushi and broccolini! It was one of the freshest and tastiest sushi I have had, my friend ordered the chicken sandwich with mumbo sauce. I recommend you make a reservation here especially during the weekend. Their milkshakes looked good ! Although I did not order one

    The burger was absolutely delightful, the restaurant is kinda small for having such big taste. I would definitely consider it a hole in the wall and is a perfect stop if you’re visiting the monuments.

    Great wings, great beer, great service and given it's location so close to the Capital a great price too!

    I had the Mushroom and Swiss burger for dinner. While the patty had the charred taste which I personally like, unfortunately it was severely underseasoned. If I were to think of it on the bright side, it is a very healthy burger I guess. The buns were alittle on the soggy side too. However I think the burger still tasted alright overall

    Typical American style restaurant with good price. Recommendable restaurant near US Capitol for tourists.
