"The name of the restaurant should clue you in to the fact that they take their burgers seriously and have a variety of choices, but it doesn't tip you off about the great beer selection. They carry a whole host of really great craft and microbrewery beers on tap and in bottles. The beer menu is just as extensive as the burger menu, and the two complement each other nicely. The staff is very friendly and accomodating."

"We were pleasantly surprised at how much all loved the food and low key atmosphere at Thunder Burger. I had a Kobe burger that is by far the best burger I've had. Even the kids raved about the garlic dusted fries, sliders and chicken. Awesome original brews too. Perfect find in Georgetown."

"Decent food. Waited too long for waitress to come over and then even longer for drinks. Burgeres were good and the side salad was excellent and a very pleasant surprise for a burger joint. Management did not seem to have the right staffing levels at the time we were there. Nice beer selection"

"We paid a visit here for DC Restaurant Week. The service and decor were great, everything was very clean. Most of us got the three-course Restaurant Week deal; I opted for the Thunder Burger with bacon, Swiss, and tomato. Everyone liked their food. Only negative? A bit overpriced."

"Their beer selections were interesting and very tasty - it's worth it to do the beer flights. Definitely recommend the pulled pork, either by itself or with a burger. Only let down was they'd run out of potato skins..."
