Station 4

As the only spot in Southwest DC to grace our list, Station 4 holds its own in terms of flavor and flair. The most notable thing about Station 4's Kobe-style burger is the choice of meat—waygu ground beef from Snake River Farm, which yields a tender, juicy burger. Gorgonzola, mayo, lettuce and tomato are the perfect additions to this dish, not commanding too much attention from the burger itself. At $20, it’s a little steep compared to others on the list, but it’s worth checking out. Only a few blocks from Nationals Park, Station 4 is a great spot to hit up before and after Nats games, especially if you want to avoid all the riff-raff outside the stadium.
