Hill East Burger is a smoked burger saloon at 1432 Penn Ave SE, a block off the Potomac Ave metro stop. The setup is simple: smoked burgers, stiff cocktails, ice-cold beers, and a jukebox running through the room.
Regulars note the single patties run small, with many opting to double up, and the sides have built a following of their own. The kitchen also runs creative rotating pop-ups alongside the standard lineup, and the room has developed a reputation for friendly, quick service at fair prices.
