[@msrlw1975]

Nice tips but Ben's Chili Bowl & Crab Cakes are also a MUST for anyone visiting DC!😉

[@bigpoppa4094]

Specific place, or any spot for crab cakes ?

[@luisleduc7222]

Thanks for letting us know Ben! 😅

[@solobaby191]

yall need mumbo sauce and fried chicken

[@evancortez2]

Tried out &pizza for the first time as per your recommendation and I'm glad I did! Thanks for the recommendation, Rob!

[@TripHacksDC]

Nice. Just had it yesterday too. Delicious.

[@TheBachelor916]

&pizza was one of my favorite places to eat while I was there. Thier pizza was really good and combining that with thier unique sodas options made me a repeat customer.

[@TKLAable]

Thanks for the suggestions Rob!!! Eating at District Taco Right now!!! We are in DC for the week and your videos were very helpful!!!

[@TripHacksDC]

Enjoy!

[@abdulsharif6541]

Carolina Kitchen... Home style cooking reasonably priced. Two blocks away from the Rhode Island Metro Station (Red Line) at the Rhode Island Row Shops

[@annaescolano-hara5174]

We just came back from DC yesterday. Thank you for your videos it help us a lot! We had a great meal at District Commons, Edgar at May Flower hotel. Not cheap but great food! Can’t wait to comeback! 🤗

[@TripHacksDC]

Nice! Come visit again soon.

[@RoosterCogburn1008]

Roaming Rooster will give you the best fried chicken sandwich in DC.

[@65TossTrap]

Best diner experience is Royal Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria: 734 N. St. Asaph Street. Home cooked food. Excellent portions. Big breakfast buffet on weekends. Milk shakes with real ice cream. Wow!!

[@boatlover1875]

Try Washington Deli, 1990 K St, a couple blocks from Farragut West. The owner is a hard worker and local college grad. They have two levels, one mostly pizza including by the slice. He makes his dough in house daily. Also a full salad bar and hot and cold deli sandwiches on the other level. Also a wide variety of drinks and other side items. The prices are very reasonable and they have something for everyone. I have enjoyed a couple of the places you mentioned and liked them as well.

[@TripHacksDC]

Good pick. Thanks for sharing.

[@erinwilson1182]

For lunch, We the Pizza has a $10 deal. You can get two slices or a slice and salad plus a drink. That includes their original handcrafted drinks. I personally recommend the Sour cherry or strawberry lemonade.

[@TripHacksDC]

Good rec!

[@JhonnyBoi]

Pupusas are a must in DC! They are very cheap and fulfilling (under $2 each). El Rinconcito on M St is very good!

[@TripHacksDC]

Pupusas are an excellent cheap eat!

[@apple38939]

Yess!!!

[@JessicaZimmerly]

Do you have a more recent cheap eats video?

[@TripHacksDC]

Yes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3mQf3-EmcuKhKs

[@delontereid7584]

Thanks for the great info you offer in these videos. Tourists often ask me about landmarks, restaurants, and Metro stations on a whim.

[@TripHacksDC]

Happy to help.

[@RMTStudios]

Medtarra At Wardman Park is super cheap. $5 for a cheesburger and fries, $1 frozen margaritas all day!

[@carlosvasquez6151]

Rob, have you tried arepas before? If not, you should definitely go to ArepaZone on 14th St or inside Union Market.

[@TripHacksDC]

I'll give it a try!

[@cgilM924]

its looks like funny with flags with sheldon cooper jajajajaj

[@Anna-vl6ym]

Guapos in Tenlytown is amazing as well as the Falafel Shop in AdMo

[@TripHacksDC]

Falafel is always a good cheap eat option.

[@philipdileo3750]

Filomena in Georgetown, absolutely the best Italian food in the area. Taste’s just like how grandma cooks.

[@walgreenstothemoon]

I think Google's Wing drones would help restaurants get meals to customers if the drone delivery would cost $1 or less per delivery.

[@Drakeman2003]

3:35 I love stuffed crust pizza! all meat! what's your favorite? btw could I get that there?

[@TripHacksDC]

They have meat pizzas but no stuffed crust. I'm not aware of any pizza place here aside from the Pizza Hut type chains that do that.

[@assumedplains8173]

Just returned from DC a couple of weeks ago. Your videos were incredibly helpful! We enjoyed &Pizza and Astros donuts for “cheap” eats.

[@TripHacksDC]

Nice. Astro Donuts is definitely delicious.

[@francinevanzanten8368]

Haha, the American definition of a cheap restaurant: all serving fast food....

[@catherinegillan4404]

awww wow I love mom & pop shops xx do more of them ...pleeeeeeeeease

[@TripHacksDC]

👍👍👍

[@joshuahamilton4259]

Beefsteak by Jose Andres is a great option for vegans

[@TripHacksDC]

Good suggestion.

[@TheBachelor916]

&pizza was my favorite but I also really liked Potbelly and Founding Fathers. Thanks for the suggestions, your videos were a great help.

[@TripHacksDC]

Good choices!

[@qdogf15]

Surfside on N St.

[@TripHacksDC]

Good pick!

[@sidneymathuka7014]

Nice

[@madi-tf]

Very helpful! Im going to DC today, and it’s a Tuesday, so I might have to try TaKorean

[@TripHacksDC]

Have fun!

[@adrianvigil-coello796]

Do Tips And Tricks About Capital One Arena.

[@jorgesequeiracampos3109]

thanks for the info! really usefull

[@TripHacksDC]

Happy to help.

[@megdav3588]

I was just in DC and we loved good stuff eatery! Also we enjoyed Flippin Pizza pretty cheap and very filling and delicious! We had the calzone and bread twists.

[@TripHacksDC]

We have a lot of good pizza options. Definitely a choice choice on the cheap end of the spectrum.

[@dalej42]

Thanks for the ideas! I’m heading back to DC in December and might end up moving there. A place I liked is Tortilla Coast, although you can’t get by under $10 unless you’re only drinking water and pick one of the least expensive items. The swirl margaritas are excellent. And, it’s a favorite of political types.

[@TripHacksDC]

Many restaurants come with that caveat, unfortunately.

[@jackwestcott4469]

No DCG?! What! Anyone visiting DC, make the trip to District Chicken & Gyro. They used to be in Georgetown when this video was made but now they’re in Tysons which is only about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown but you will not regret it. It’s a simple, straightforward meal but you’ll be talking about it until you come back to DC and try it again. Another place is Ben’s Chili Bowl and while it isn’t in the sexiest part of DC, you got to try it.

[@Gary-ib8dz]

I was in DC in October 2021. I didn't try the places in this video. I loved Hill Country BBQ. Wiseguy Pizza was pretty good. I don't remember the prices. I'm sure the bbq was well over $10, but it was the best brisket I've ever had (Get the moist, not the lean). They are both in the NW area

[@arkapratimchatterjee1052]

I'll be visiting in December. Any suggestions of good eats near WW Convention Centre?

[@TripHacksDC]

I rarely eat at restaurants near the Convention Center and can't personally vouch for many, but check out dc.eater.com/maps/restaurants-near-convention-center-dc Lots of potential options.

[@arkapratimchatterjee1052]

Sure. Thanks!

[@artcurious807]

The TaKorean looks very interesting ( no food pics ?) I’m guessing it’s either mex/Korean or all Korean but in taco shells/wraps.

[@TripHacksDC]

I am terrible at taking photos of food and it didn't seem fair to post unappetizing looking photos that don't do justices to these restaurants. You can see what the Takorean tacos look like in this article though: www.washingtoncitypaper.com/food/blog/13130493/takorean-opening-restaurant-in-navy-yard

[@artcurious807]

Trip Hacks DC , thanks I checked the link. Looks like Korean ingredients with soft shell. tortillas, authentic Korean is not widely popular among Americans but Mex/Kor fusion has the potential to be very popular. I will definitely be eating there someday.

[@MusicandRelaxation]

Thank from a man from Paris :)

[@TripHacksDC]

De rien

[@fleurefraser9957]

THANK YOU!

[@TripHacksDC]

No problem.

[@wsdadasdawf8384]

Wtf my friend lives in an Arabic country and a falafel sandwich is like 36 cents

[@TripHacksDC]

Now that is a cheap eat!

[@ericredwings2009]

Thanks for your tips. They were very helpful for our trip in August. We ate at Far East Taco Grille. That place is incredible.

[@TripHacksDC]

That's a good one! Which location did you go to?

[@ericredwings2009]

15st location. The burritos are awesome.

[@TripHacksDC]

Nice!

[@lw4327]

Can you make a video of family friendly restaurants in DC? Places that a family of 4 or more with kids can sit get out of the cold or hear and have a good filling dinner? Pricepoint something like your average chain but “DC favorites” version? Its a very specific request I realize, but I am having difficulty finding something that isn’t fast food, bars, or upscale restaurants.

[@TripHacksDC]

Probably not this year, sorry. There are some restaurant recommendations in this podcast episode: triphacksdc.com/podcast6

[@m4rk05R5]

Wow. Tks my friend.

[@TripHacksDC]

No problem.

[@Drakeman2003]

At bub and pops, how big is a half sandwich vs a whole sandwich?

[@monarue1987]

Just came back from DC, but saw this video after. We enjoyed District Taco 3 times in a week. Great call!!! Also, we ate breakfast 5 times at Jimmy T's and fell in love with the staff there. But, be aware, Jimmy T's is cash only.

[@TripHacksDC]

Nice. Jimmy T's got a shoutout in the things to do in the morning video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHaTZoqBmp1gnck

[@aheimbig]

VERY good advice as of 2021. Thank you! I want District Taco to go national so badly! &Pizza was also good. I actually wasn't impressed with the smokehouse burger at Good Stuff, but the strawberry lemonade and shake were worth the trip on their own.

[@TripHacksDC]

Mmmmm. Thanks for the review!

[@Tim_Raths]

&Pizza is really good, I also ate here when I went to DC and loved it! www.boltburgerdc.com/

[@TripHacksDC]

Good pick!

[@juliek262]

Thank you

[@TripHacksDC]

No problem

[@patrickmc.2011]

what about the capital bldg? I know the one in Charleston was killer good and very good price. Real food.

[@TripHacksDC]

It's fine if you are already there. I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

[@bmg963]

hi! Great videos!! Do you have a current 'cheap eats' list for 2022? love to have a link if you do~!

[@TripHacksDC]

Working on one now. Won't be ready for a few more weeks though.

[@syckindahead]

Just posted 7.17.22

[@greghinton5424]

George's King of Falafel and Cheesesteak in Georgetown is a must try.

[@TripHacksDC]

Excellent rec!

[@Drakeman2003]

3:36 we should go here sometime

[@susans.3409]

We love to eat outside at a pizza place called “We the Pizza”! Yummy!

[@TripHacksDC]

Good pick!

[@susans.3409]

[@TripHacksDC]
