Woodmont Grill
Renowned in the Bethesda area not only for its food but for its live music, ambiance and full bar, Woodmont Grill is a standard burger joint that delivers better-than-standard burgers. The hamburger patties are soft and juicy, and the sesame-seed buns are toasted right on the grill. There are plenty of condiments, and burgers should be topped off with a side of mouth-watering fries.
