If you're looking for the classic, neighborhood bar/grill characteristic of the Midwest, Albert's fits the bill nicely. The bartenders/cooks are very welcoming, and we felt right at home.

Nice little burger place tucked in Columbia Heights. Cheap tap beers, free peanuts while you wait, and good burgers. Can get beef or gator patties and side of delicious home cut fries. The owner is usually there working the grill and is commited to good service. He'll often bring over a free appetizer or desert and he'll do what he... More
