Crystal City Sports Pub is a little (ok a lot) less polished but has killer daily deals. On 23rd St but across the highway from the hotels and the restaurant strip.

Darn you all... now I need to make burgers for dinner - cast iron "beef chuck/lamb sirloin blend smashburgers" for this kitchen.

My wife retired from the Forrestal Bldg. She worked for NNSA when we were in Abq. I worked nearby the Forrestal (walking distance) and went over there for the Dunkin Donuts in the basement to get a dozen now and then. There is a Hill Country Barbeque up the street on 7th that is pretty good (brisket), but a little pricey like all DC. https://www.hillcountry.com/location/hill-country-washington-dc/
I don't know if the current situation has impacted them/their service

Yes...making me hungry for a burger.
