WASHINGTON — Whether you like yours with lettuce and tomato, rare or of the veggie variety or slathered in ketchup, there are tons of different kinds of burgers to gobble up.
And May, also known as National Hamburger Month, is just to time to do it.
In honor of the burger bonanza, WTOP turned to a very unscientific place to find the top burgers in the area. We looked at online review site, Yelp to point out some of the best-rated local burger joints.
The No. 1 ranked burger restaurant is D.C.’s Fast Gourmet. Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring, Maryland came in second and national favorite Five Guys Burgers and Fries rounded out the top 3.
