Slash Run - Washington

I come here regularly because they host frequent live music performances.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant due to the hidden fees, incorrect pricing on the menu, and lackluster service. We were also unpleasantly surprised to see a roach in the kitchen during our last visit. Despite these issues, the food was good. However, I was not given the option to pay in cash and was presented with hidden fees on my bill. The restaurant should be more transparent about their pricing instead of defending these extra charges.

The burgers here are delicious. The atmosphere is like a dive bar, which adds to the experience in a positive way.

This is the first bar I've ever done this, but they had such good burgers I ate two. Great punk rock show featuring Sad Roach and Erik Nervous. Fun night.

This place seems to be a dive bar and music/performance venue that happens to sell burgers. I 've been to plenty of places like this and love them as a genre, but have never been to one where the distance between burger hype and actual burger experience was this significant.The menu and reviews led me to believe that this place took its burgers seriously. The staff and the food itself seemed to just be slinging hash.I went there this past weekend, and had a completely adequate burger that would be competent for a music venue, spectacular for a regional airport, and subpar for a place that claimed to take its burgers seriously.I asked that my burger be served medium rare/rare, and the server said it 's just two thin patties, cooked on the grill. I said oh, are these diner-style smashburgers then? He responded it 's just two thin patties, cooked on the grill. The weird thing is that I heard at least three other patrons ask a question about the burgers and the guy responded with exactly the same answer every time: it 's just two thin patties, cooked on the grill. I would offer that if you find yourself giving the same answer five times in a few minutes, there is something inadequate about your description. The guy was otherwise friendly, just oddly inarticulate about the main menu item.The patties weren 't smashed flat and crispy, no real effort to maximize the flavor, just kinda medium thickness beef pucks cooked to well done. Nothing spectacular, elevated or even above average about the experience. They were truly, just two thin patties cooked on a grill.This is totally fine if you 're watching a band at a bar and want to get a burger to take a break from drinking whiskey. But it 's a fairly low-effort stab at a burger at a time when burgers are kinda having a moment, if they 're trying to run a credibly competitive burger joint.Hamburger America, Shake Shack, even Five Guys are offering something at scale that 's got some flavor to it.I was in there for lunch, so I didn 't see bands or the comedy shows. But the kitchen closes an hour after the 9PM shows start, so there 's really only an hour where you can enjoy a competent burger while rocking out.Vegetarian options: They appeared to have vegan items on the menu.
