For folks on a tighter budget, check out "Jimmy T's Place." A cheese burger there is currently $4.70. Also, "7th Street Cafe." An egg and cheese burrito is $3.60. These two places are within walking distance of major sites. Rob, very informative video!

While visiting the Library of Congress a Security Guard suggested we go next door to the Madison Building cafe for lunch. I highly recommend this tip! The restaurant is located on the 6th floor and had the feel it was for the locals and employees. We were welcomed by the restaurant workers and enjoyed good food at very reasonable prices. Not to mention a great view overlooking the city. I enjoyed a custom made grilled deli sandwich, while my grandsons had chicken tenders and fries. You could get made to order items as well as a salad bar and soup. Thanks for all your You Tubes Rob!! If any of your followers are thinking about taking your tour...Do It!! We did and it was great!

As usual, your videos are very informative even for DC residents.

I live in DC and really like your videos, very informative. I've eaten at Hip City Veg, Swizzlers and Surfside and love their food. I also like Bub and Pops on M Street, favorite is their Meatball Sub, and Abunai on L Street, love their Kalua Pig Plate Lunch and Spam Musubi Plate Lunch.

Hi Rob, This is a great video. Knowing good casual places to eat is always a huge plus visiting any city !

Went to Swizzler and it was AWESOME! Thanks Rob! Used the circulator bus too all you sir!

[yvettehatch]

Thank you for listing places with veg options. 🌱

Thanks so much! My husband and I are going in October and def. trying a couple of your recommendations.

Swizzlers was really good. Friendly guys working, gave us different sauces to taste. They don’t have social media, so I said I’d give them a shout out on here (I told them I’d seen them on one of your videos)

I am going to Washington D.C pretty soon just in time for the video before I go thank you for this video Rob.

Little Sesame is a new one on me. I'll definitely have to check that out when I'm near one. I have to say, fast casual isn't quite the value proposition that it used to be.

Thank you! As a 50 year DMV native - it’s not easy to find great local spots I hadn’t heard of yet. But you found some great spots I’m now super excited to try. Cava (the original location - that’s a really nice restaurant in a strip mall - not a fast casual spot) is one of my faves. And I like Spicelife better than Rasa. But the other spots on your list are totally new to me.

Rob, thanks to your videos, I learned about District Taco. I ate there twice on my last trip. A recommendation I have is Tatte Bakery and Cafe. I plan on going back there when I am in DC in September.

Rob, thanks for refreshing this video! I'm definitely going to try Rice Bar this Aug when I'm in DC next. I learned about District Taco from your last video which was a family favorite! Also, just noticed we got a Cava nearby in Hanover MD and looking forward to trying one of their bowls thanks to your video.

I live in MD 2 miles from the DC line. Cava is out of control--I go there every week or so. I would also put Sardi's Peruvian Chicken on the list.

[annekearney]

Excited to try little sesame. When we want something super cheap and fast, we stop by Whole Foods and grab a slice of pizza and a drink.

[skybluejay]

All of these places look good, we’ll possibly try a couple while we are there next month

I love that your options are so diverse. Thanks for this video.

Thanks for the updates Rob! We love bibimbap so we'd definitely try Rice Bar 💜💚
