Jon HusseyDecember 21, 2013A lot of good duck-related items on the menu: sweet potato fries with duck, pulled duck sandwich, duck burger. Buffalo shrimp and wings are also good.
No matter what day you come here, ask them about their desserts. They are always delicious, from tiramisu to key lime pie, all sorts of cheesecakes and peanut butter pie! Yum
John CiprianiOctober 4, 2012Waffle fries with duck are delicious. Also ask them to make any of the burgers with ghost chilis for those who love the insanely spicy. You will not be disappointed.
timmymathewsNovember 17, 2012So very happily surprised at how perfect this spot is. The Pinch is the perfect neighborhood bar. Good beer. Cozy atmosphere (dive-y but not creepy). AMAZING "meat lover burger." Check it out!
Friendly local owners and fresh daily desserts based on what the chef feels like baking! Love this neighborhood hangout.
SophieAugust 25, 2012With its garlic wings, parmesan fries, juicy burgers, and delectable desserts -- not to mention wonderful staff and excellent musical selection -- this place promises to win your stomach.
- M FJuly 8, 2012Classic wings are AMAZING. Best sauce. Fried pickles are amazing as well. The owners are friendly, attentive and helpful. Overall great place.
Great brunch with excellent (and strong) Bloody Marys and mimosas. Ashley is a phenomenal bartender and server! Also, try the donuts.
Brunch is phenomenal. This place might have the best bloody mary in all of DC and the staff is truly lovely!
Daniel SJanuary 22, 2013Somebody pinch me. The burgers are succulent and big, bursting with flavor. The fries are dressed in parmesan and the beer is served ice cold.
Kaitlynn AnnSeptember 1, 2012Totally amazing sweet potato waffle fries with duck and cheese! So amazing it's worth the trip everytime!
VikaMay 15, 2012Waffle duck fries!! Amaaaazing! Nice people too. New joint, come check it out. Won't be sorry
Great place. Great vibe. Bartender named Joel is awesome.
If you're into Nudie Picture Hunt, the machine is on the bar downstairs.
Monday night is Mac & Quack night. Mac and cheese with sick bacon. Yummy.
The crab cakes have real crab in them. Shell crunch in every bite. Skip this on the menu.

"Tons of great cocktails, nice craft beer and cool space. If you like Lost & Found, Free State isn't far behind."
Michael Jenkins - 7.4
"Impressive, diverse beer lineup both on tap and by the bottle. Dive bar vibe not appealing to all."
Peter Blumberg - 7.7
"Awesome outdoor space with a complete heated/tented back Courtyard area. Games to play, pet-friendly, good drinks and food. Loved it!"
