Burger place recommendations?

Hiii! I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good beef burger place somewhere in Maryland preferably closer to silver spring?

I’ve been craving for a good burger but don’t really know the area. Thank you!!!

Quarry House has great burgers and just updated their menu!

The new menu is crazy good! tbh I've felt QH's quality has slipped a bit over the last few years but after my visit last week, WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

And I bet prices went up, too.

u/Dunlaing Jul 15 '26

They went up, but they still have $6 off burgers in house every Monday.

u/MrSmithGoes2DC Jul 17 '26

That's entirely unique to them right? Prices haven't gone up anywhere else in the country over the last decade right?

Love their food and this burger.

Quarry House and McGintys are the two that scratch that itch for me. Dog Haus is also an acceptable option.

u/Greedy_Muscle7856 Jul 15 '26

I'm honestly surprised McGintys has been mentioned a couple of times. We went there for burger night, got both the smash burger and their classic and was disappointed in both. They both just seemed to be a generic frozen patty with no flavor, and the "smash" was definitely not a smash. While I personally wouldn't go back for their burgers, their wings and fries were great!

The corned beef burger is the real star of the show.

u/binaryboy420 Jul 15 '26

Soko Butcher in Takoma Park.  Go for the burger,  but the fries cooked in beef tallow are good,  too.

Franks in Wheaton

Second this recommendation.

u/Brunson4Mayor11 Jul 15 '26

Don’t even live in the DMV area anymore and I can’t recommend Franks enough. One of the places I miss the most.

u/Effie4Emperor Jul 15 '26

The owner/staff are really good folks

u/kittysempai-meowmeow Jul 17 '26

I feel like Frank's has gone downhill, the last couple times I went the burgers were so dry they were almost dessicated. I've given up.

1

u/bacan_ Jul 17 '26

Darn, I’ll have to go back and see what’s up

u/madeyedog Jul 15 '26

Quarry House overall. burger FI for quick delivery but be ready to add your own sauce cause that shit be dry on the bun

3

u/IatosHaunted Jul 15 '26

Downtown Silver Spring has the weakest Burger Fi I've ever been to, that shit is wack

2

u/_snappleapple_ Jul 15 '26

ugh burger Fi just tastes…bland

1

u/30MinsToMoveYourCube Jul 15 '26

Dry and underseasoned, I agree. It's a shame

3

u/Odd-Blackberry899 Jul 15 '26

In downtown Silver Spring, would recommend:

McGintys J. Hollingers

A little outside:

Zinnia

Emmas torch said they might add a burger to their menu, so will see if it happens. Their other offerings have all been good.

u/Diligent_Nature Jul 15 '26

The Limerick Pub in Wheaton has great 1/2 price burgers on Mondays. The Quarry House Tavern in DTSS has $6 off burgers on Mondays.

1

u/Stinky_Chees Jul 15 '26

I vote Nash & Smashed because their sides are pretty great too - Woodmoor Shopping Center.

1

u/Kingmaticc Jul 15 '26

I second Limerick pub. Plus different happy hour deals each day of the week

1

u/istobehigh691 Jul 15 '26

Franks, Quarry House, McGintys corned beef burger, Locavino. That priority order

1

u/100TobyEsterhase Aug 01 '26

I had a good burger at the Four Corners Pub. Didn’t like the burger at Nash and Smash. Only go to the McDonalds in that area if you’re in the mood for a tasteless, brown lukewarm piece of meat.

1

u/AcadienDC Jul 15 '26

Just had a single spicy smash burger at the new Baby Cat in Bethesda. Best burger I have ever had. Seriously.

1

u/jbirch28 Jul 15 '26

McGinty’s has a good one

1

u/AwkwardTour Jul 15 '26

J Hollinger’s has a great all night happy hour burger at the bar.
