Washington, DC
Harry currently ranks 5 burgers spots in Washington, scoring 40–83 on the Harry Score.
A burger is an engineering problem. Structure first — it has to survive being held. Then fat, seasoning, and a bun that knows its job is to hold, not to star. Harry is unmoved by brioche towers, gold leaf, and anything requiring a skewer. The patty either earns it or it doesn't.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
