"Not all outposts of José Andrés’ vegetable-centric fast-casual chain Beefsteak are currently open, but the Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom locations are serving up marinated beet burgers, warm grain bowls, salads, and more for pickup and delivery via GrubHub, Postmates, Caviar, DoorDash, and UberEats." - Adele Chapin

Soggy veggies ☹️ This place was great when it first opened, but now if you get a "hot bowl" the veggies are usually overcooked and not at all strained, leaving them a soggy mess without texture, like overcooked spinach. Super sad, because idea of the place is great. Original review: Best veggie burger! What a great restaurant. Not anti- meat, but pro-veggie. Great menu, good prices, great deco and music.

I was super excited about trying this vegetarian place on my trip to DC and I was not disappointed! My friend and I got the Little Curry Warm Rice Bowl and it was loaded with veggies and super delicious! I love this concept of quick casual yummy vegetarian food and I hope that Jose Andres expands it to San Francisco!

Heaven for healthy eating! Mostly vegetarian , some options to add chicken , but plenty of protein options. Incredibly delicious, steamed veggies that are crispy , grains and the best toppings I had ever tasted and I am a picky eater. So many options too. It's beyond reasonable for the quality and quantity ( although I never go for quantity as a an asset ). Friendly service and also house made Apple- cucumber- kale drink is so tasty as I was hesitant to try. Been a regular here and recommending it to all my friends! Love the fact that they are committed to recycling and this is a brainchild by the famous chef José Andrés !

Great for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. Tasty and inventive take on staples of fast casual food. More vegan options or vegan substitutions for non-vegan items would be great. Highly recommended!

Service was great. Food was ok. However, I was hoping a cleaner environment to match the concept. I grabbed a greasy menu at the entrance. The floor was somehow sticky, and the food tray turned from white to grey due to repeatedly writing and erasing (they write customer's names and numbers on the tray). I appreciate the concept, but the devil is in the detail.

Who knew vegetables could be so exciting? Beefsteak offers an amazing assortment of fresh, flavorful, and healthy food in a fun, rustic environment. The menu is fairly extensive, with a diverse mix of vegetables, sauces, and toppings (yes, they even have chicken sausage for the obligate carnivores out there), and the staff is friendly and helpful. The most interesting part of the meal by far is the immersion hot water machine (think french fry fryer, but greener) - when I saw my veggies descending into a boiling vat of water I expected the worst, but they came out well-seasoned and still surprisingly firm. Don't forget to grab a homemade fruit and veggie juice mix on the way out!

First time to try José Andrés’ mostly plant-based fast casual restaurant. We ordered a lentil curry bowl and the “Frida Kale-o” which is black beans and rice with steamed kale and sweet potatoes. Delicious. I also got the “Beetsteak Burger” with a big slab of golden beet, pickled and topped with tomato, pickled red onion, and sprouts on brioche. Don’t skip the gazpacho which is some of the best I’ve had.

Very good! I love the aesthetic and how the name “Beefsteak” contradicts what they actually serve! I can’t wait to eat here next time! The Beafsteak burger and Eden are recommended
