Bobby’s Burger Palace (Washington, DC)

2121 K Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20037

Bobby’s Burger Palace is an upscale chain of upscale, fast food restaurants that features an array of burgers inspired by Chef Bobby Flay. It currently has 17 locations in the US, mostly in the Northeast. This one in downtown DC looks funky and offers a wide range of original burgers, sides and shakes. I get the Dallas Burger and the Undecided, i.e. a combination of two sides. The burger is indeed prepared medium and comes on a nice brioche bun with a heap of “spice crusted” slaw, pickles, and BBQ sauce. While perhaps not the best choice, it is really tasty and well-executed. My “Undecided” are three big onion rings and a batch of French fries, which come with two sauces. The onion rings are crispy but a bit bland, as are the sauces. The fries are pretty good.

VERDICT: 90/100

Good burgers in a funky environment.
