Behrad EatsDecember 27, 2013Mr. Truffleupagus Burger is a good choice: sea salt & fresh ground pepper, truffle pecorino cheese, roasted shallot & sweet garlic relish with grilled field mushrooms. Only drawback is overcooked beef
Washington PostFebruary 13, 2014All burgers are cooked to medium. Bolt has a toppings-oriented approach can lead to a flavorful bite, no question. But every burger I’ve ordered here has been a virtually juiceless affair. - T. Carman Read more
Daycation DCApril 12, 2017Great burger spot near the Convention Center. Veggie, turkey, and low carb options. Read more
- L. T.October 1, 2015The greasiest veggie burger I've ever had... But really satisfying! Great fries and sauce. Drink water and eat salad for the next two days.
RyanMay 25, 2015Fries are men but grilled cheese is definitely worth it. Great place to watch sports without crowds.
John KDecember 2, 2014Burgers so so....onion rings very good! Specialty ketchup isn't to my taste. Bacon is good.
Vincent MacalusoMay 9, 2014Get the kids meal. Its the same dry-ass burger except for the same price you'll get fries and a drink.- Mohammed AlghammassJanuary 14, 2019I don't know why it's 5. food is delicious and ppl are nice. I would give it 7.5 !
Sanjay ChainaniJuly 1, 2014Turkey boltissimo burger was nice and flavorful but this place is a bit expensive for what you get - 12.36 for a coke and burger
Sean JamiesonJanuary 13, 2014I don't understand why DC needs this place! It's a burger joint with flat screen TVs. I mean, I'd choose Bobby's Burger Palace or even BTS over this place any day!
Leandro LageraSeptember 9, 2016A little biased since a colleague of mine owns the place but it reminds me of jollibee!
Carmin RuggieroMarch 7, 2014I hate to do this, but this has to be one of the blandest, burger I've ever had. Ordered the "Bolt Classic". If it's your staple burger it should be great right? Not so much.
Omar MApril 1, 2014The burger I got was dry and expensive. I asked for "extra spicy" I got extra salty. The people who work here are really nice, but the burgers at five guys and shake shack are way better.
TalalApril 26, 2018The place is not organized, the meat is frozen and tastes awful wouldn’t come back here again.
- BossiDecember 22, 2013Decent food & friendly service, but too expensive for me to consider it worthwhile. Too many options elsewhere at far better prices.
Davin ChristiansenFebruary 1, 2014Don't waste your money! Dry burgers. Their killer ketchup taste like its mixed with armpit! The world doesn't need another overpriced burger joint!
andreMarch 16, 2014No desespero ele fica até as 23h valeu galera. Fica para os brasileiros que andam o dia todo e chegam tarde.

There are a lot of good burgers out there. But none of them deliver the big, exciting flavors sophisticated diners want. That’s why we developed Bolt.
