Grassfed Griddle
670 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This neighborhood burger spot at Bryant Street Market is earning serious loyalty for their grass-fed beef sourced from local family farms, with reviewers raving about meat that's genuinely flavorful and tender enough to melt in your mouth. Beyond the standout burgers, they're turning out solid breakfast sandwiches and creative touches like a surprisingly delightful sweet element in their bleu cheese burger, though quality consistency seems to be a work in progress. It's the kind of place that feels like a genuine community find rather than another DC chain, especially if you're looking for ethically-sourced, locally-minded comfort food.”

I was very disappointed with the quality of the food I received. My BLT and bacon egg and cheese sandwich came with three slices of bacon that were clearly old—the taste was spoiled, the color was dark brown, and the texture was dried out. The bacon was also difficult to chew. Since I ordered a BLT, I expected fresh bacon straight off the griddle, but instead it appeared that the strips had been cut in half, leaving only three small pieces on each sandwich. Overall, the sandwiches did not reflect the “grass-fed griddle” quality advertised. I placed my order online for breakfast, and when I arrived at my scheduled pickup time, the food wasn’t even started. The entire experience was frustrating and disappointing. Although the staff were friendly, I would never revisit this place.
Best burger I’ve had in DC. Was meat ant toppings were super fresh and the cheese sauce is amazing! My new go to burger spot!
I stumbled across Grassfed Griddle during my first time @ Bryant St. Market the other day. I am so glad that I did! Grassfed Griddle partners with local, family businesses to source their ingredients. Their breakfast menu and menu in general look delicious! I was intent on getting a breakfast sandwich, when a mushroom confit sandwich made with a signature cheese sauce, and ginger-siracha mayo on a black truffle brioche bun caught my eye!! I quickly changed my mind after learning that Grassfed Griddle sources their mushrooms from a local farmer’s market and it’s one of the chef’s favorite sandwiches. After walking around checking out other vendors and waiting for a few mins because Grassfed Griddle was a little busy with previous orders, I decided to sit down at their counter to enjoy my sandwich when it was ready. Let me just say, that black truffle brioche bun was so soft and buttery. The mushroom confit and special condiments made for the best flavor combo! The sandwich was like a pillow of palette pleasing delight!! The mushrooms were so plentiful, that they were falling out after each bite. It was a little messy to eat, but grabbing a fork helped. I would go back to Bryant St. Market JUST to savor this sandwich again! It’s seasonal, so I suspect the menu may change. If you enjoy mushroom and truffle and a good brioche bun, this sandwich is IT!! I definitely want to go back to try Grassfed Griddle’s breakfast sandwich, tater tots and French toast and of course that mushroom sandwich! So, so good!! The ambience was casual and quaint. I suspect it’s busy on the weekends. I went during the week around lunch time and it wasn’t too busy.
Food was great. We had the bleu cheese burger and chopped beef. The chopped beef was perfectly cheesy and felt like home. The burger was also very good and had a nice surprise with the sweet element. The tots were tasty and really crisp. Overall great meal and will be back. 4 on atmosphere because the food hall needed lights on in the seating area we were in.
The burger was one of the best I've had. Local ingredients and so flavorful. It melts in your mouth. Don't pass this place up!
