A Mini Hamburger Is Not a Slider

Actually, if we're going to be picky ... a slider is Navy slang for a hamburger. Has nothing to do with size. The nickname originates for the burgers sliding across the grill during heavy seas. The nickname made it into the general public following WWII with the return of sailors to the homefront.

D.C.'s Best Burgers

Here's a couple of alternatives to 5-Guys:

Elevation Burger
442 S Washington St
Falls Church VA
http://www.elevationburger.com/

Dad's Backyard Burgers
This is on Gallows road near the Lee Hwy intersection.

Both are a bit more expensive than 5-Guys and both have negative reviews.

From 2006's Washington Post best burgers:

Elevation Burger
Evening Star Cafe
Palena
The Reef
Wonderland Bar and Grill

Let's not forget the pickle!

Love Bread and Butter pickles ... great for burgers or just by themselves. My grandmother used to can them herself, but since then I haven't found a brand I don't like. Lately though I've been eating the Splenda version.

Hamburger Matty on Five Guys Brooklyn Heights

I've never had a 5 Guy's burger that I didn't like. Actually, my only complaint is the location in Tyson's Corner Mall is stingy on the fries. You don't get the cup plopped into the bag and then the fries shuvelled. Instead, you get a cup of fries. I'm guessing they're a franchise and the owner either never ate one of the orginal 5 Guys in the DC area or is just cheap. On the other hand, being in the mall they are very busy and maybe they just couldn't keep up with the fries going out so fast in such a large volume per order.

Where's the Beef: Virginia

That's a good starte on a list, but this is the birthplace of the awesome 5 Guys Hamburger establishment (unfortunately it doesn't look like the 5 Guys guys have the same franchisal OCD that McDonald's Kroc had to keeping the food consistent from franchise to franchise).

There's also Elavation Burger in Falls Church which is a 5 Guy wanna-be, but with their higher prices and smaller fare (as well as french fries fried in a "healthier" olive oil) they have a long way to go.
