Ray's Hell Burger is by far my favorite burger institution in the greater D.C. area and is the brain product the same chef and owner of Ray's Steaks (also a fantastic place to get your cred meat fix which I shall talk about later in a list not geared toward the cheaper eats). Ray's is the epitome of a restaurant that knows what it does well and sticks solely to that. I admire this in an eatery. My biggest pet peeve is when restaurants, businesses, people, etc... try to over extend themselves and instead of doing a handful of things well ends up doing a wide array of things poorly. Ray's Hell Burger excels at exactly what you would guess. Burgers. Good old fashion sirloin ground practically in front of you burgers.No matter how busy Ray's is (which is quite busy and quite often) I always get fantastic attention and care from the crew there and always a numero uno product. I'd give insight on what to order, but really you cant go wrong... definitely get a bigger burger and skip the fries if you do anything as the fries are good but nothing amazing... but do get the fresh homemade root beer they serve on draft as it is beyond worth it. And also DO bring cash as they are cash only; however, if you do forget they have an ATM in the back that has zero fees (nice of them) but your bank will no doubt hit you up with a couple buck surcharge and why deal with that when it can be easily avoided and instead place those extra couple of clams down for drinks later or snacks after your evening libations?!
Pros: Burgers and root beer
Cons: cash only
