Duke's Grocery

One of the top burgers in DC here called, appropriately, the Proper Burger : two patties topped with Gouda , charred red onion , sweet chili sauce , dill pickles , rocket & garlic aioli on a brioche bun .

Lunch ? Get there early and sit upstairs. What a gorgeous spot and you might get lucky and have an incredibly attentive server/bartender all to yourself for a while. Savor over the hummus and lunch ...

The Proper Burger . Much has been written. Not enough has been said. Remember how your first ShackBurger made you feel? This is that, only better. More intense, more honest, and way more flavorful.

Can’t recommend it enough! Got the Truffle Mac&Cheese, Proper Burger , and Caribbean Queen, and all were fantastic. Be sure to talk to a staff member to get in the waitlist for a table, or come early.

The prosperity burger is the way to go- every table had at least one during our visit. $5 cocktails beer and wine during happy hour 12-7. Service could be friendlier

The Wagyu was really good, I had high expectations and was not disappointed. Staff was super friendly also. For any burger fan in DC, this is a must place to go.

The happy hour is amazing and so is the food. Start your night out with a whiskey & soda , Skull Splitter beer , and literally ANY sandwich . You won't be disappointed!

Walked about 2 ½ miles in rain and took the metro to get this burger . It was damn good and they have Walkers from GB. The "Proper" Burger .

Can sometimes be a bit difficult to get attention at the bar (if you're lucky enough to get a seat), but the food is worth it. Cheese Toasty and Pumpkin Curry are out of this world.

What's that creeping? Oh, just stacks on stacks of brined brisket , w/ house pickles spilling out between toasted rye . Read more

The Spicy McHaggis is a knockout sandwich ! Seared haggis , fried egg , grain mustard , hot sauce , & rocket on sourdough bread !

This is a neighborhood shop dedicated to scratch cooking. It draws inspiration from East London, but the sandwiches are just as much influenced by Argentine or Vietnamese street vendors. Read more

Great happy hour ! $5 glasses of presecco? I'm happy. The photos on here don't do this place justice. Such a great spot tucked away with great ambience.

Massive portions so come hungry and skip the sides/apps. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu but "cheesy toasts" aka grilled cheese w truffle oil or the roti are my faves

The Proper Burger also goes by the name of "Brunchie Burger " during the brunch hours

It’s hard to go wrong with a classic such as Duke’s Proper Burger . Read more

The brick Lane salt-beef sarnie has beef brined for two weeks in a bath of brown sugar and 20 spices; simmered for hours and stacked on rye with house-made pickles and mustard . Read more

My skepticism dwindled with every delectable bite I took into the Proper Burger . The flavor is the savory equivalent of a starburst, exploding with flavor with every chew.

Cozy food. Creative and delicious menu. The brisket sandwich is fantastic.

The cheese toasties are tremendously decadent and come in a satisfying portion.. The truffle oil take them over the top in deliciousness. Perfect for vegetarians .

The Proper Burger is just fantastic! Definitely the best burger I've had in DC!

Best Burger and Mac and cheese I've had in DC. Someone needs to tell them to get a host tho. People walk in and walk out because they have no idea what to do/where to order.

Sandwiches were good! Nice place to have a lunch (brunch )

Brioche bun burgers tend to have too much bread . Not here. The burger is nearly perfectly balanced, like most of their sandwiches . Thumbs up.

The brunchie burger was on point! They were serving brunch for dinner tonight and my girlfriend got the french toast which was also superb

Best brunch period ...great black pudding worth the wait . staff is very friendly ..hp sauce on table was a nice touch

The green papaya salad is super spicy and the corn plate is not really for sharing... Really yummy food and a great happy hour !

The Proper Burger was very much a proper delight!!! Great!!!

Great weekday lunch vibes and creative sandwich combos . Rocket, quinoa , watermelon salad was awesome.

Great selection at happy hour (ends at 7) - gets crowded quickly! Outdoor seating is great.

The proper burger with Mac and cheese is a great way to get to know the place!

Their take on the bahn mi is one of those delicious sandwich experiences you wish would never end.

So here's the thing about Dukes: the food is good but the bread always ruins it. I don't know why but whether it's burgers or hummus or banh mi , the bread is just off. Otherwise drinks are good.

The Proper English breakfast is fantastic. As are the condiment options!

First visit was excellent - highly recommend the pumpkin curry and $5 wines 'till 7pm is a great deal.

The avocado toast is fantastic. Such thick seedy bread !

The Proper Burger is everything it's cracked up to be. Mac n' cheese was also great.

The Proper Burger was hands down one of the best burgers I have ever had.

Local corn is a must to go for! Burger and Mac&cheese were good.

The burgers are the best in town !

The hummus is seriously good, as is the spicy eggplant sandwich for vegetarians .

Mac and cheese is a must. Salt-beef when they have it. Enjoy this neighborhood gem

You have to experience the burger at least once.

The burger ???? Absolutely worth it

Insanely good proper burger . On my top 10 list in the world

Great vibe & great comfort food but far too busy to be worth it these days.

Excellent burger . Hummus was good too

This is actually THE place to get THE best burger . There's no where else that's comparable. No one.

BLTA with an egg was delicious. I'll try the proper burger next time.

Not sure it's an "East London pub " but nice patio with communal picnic tables . Proper burger is legit
