    Everything is reasonably priced. Their burgers are really popular, so I can't wait to go back and try one. Brunch is a must try specifically for the chicken and waffles.

    The Great Chicago Fire Burger is dusted in chipotle and topped with fire-roasted chili and mango salsa, habañero jack cheese, and chipotle aioli. Make sure to drink a beer to cool down. Read more

    The Great Chicago Fire is great! If you like a spicy burger, look no further! The side of mango-habañero salsa gives it an even bigger kick! Don't forget salt & pepper fries on the side!

    The Great Chicago Fire is one of the best burgers in DC. It's got a lot of kick -- so be careful with the Habenero sauce. Pair it with Old Bay or Sweet Potato fries.

    Great burgers. Beware that they usually stop serving their normal menu around 9:45, instead of 10:15 as it is advertised. So you will have to order from their limited late night menu starting at 9:45.

    I'm not a burger person, but this was the best burger I've had in years. I had the Ciao Bella, but I am sure any of them would be excellent.

    Love it here. Never had a problem with bartenders or staff. Everyone's always upbeat and bartenders are awesome. Great Chicago Fire Burger is awesome.

    Top notch beef and ingredients make the burgers here really stand above other bars that serve burgers. The Au Poivre burger with bleu cheese was delicious.

    Inexpensive burgers and a decent selection of beers. Top it off with friendly service and I am a fan. Bonus: you can sub a veggie patty on any of the burgers.

    Oh wow...I built my own burger: 8oz, medium-rare, sharp cheddar...that's all you need. It was delicious.

    All of the burgers are phenomenal. The ever changing stock price board on the beer is a clever addition.

    The owners are rad and the beers are good, if a bit pricey. Ambience is awesome. Will agree its more cap hill crowd than h street. Best place on h to watch a game (sry pug)

    Karaoke night upstairs on Thursdays. Play badly enough (last place) and you get a free tequila shot.
