About

Nestled within the iconic National Mall, Refreshments is the perfect spot for tourists looking to grab a quick bite. This snack bar offers a casual atmosphere with accessible seating and friendly staff ready to serve. While the menu features a variety of pre-made options, guests rave about the hearty black bean burger and generously portioned burgers. Though prices lean on the higher side given the location, the convenience of takeaway service makes it a go-to for solo diners.

Located conveniently at the National Mall, Refreshments offers a quick bite for tourists on the go. I tried their black bean burger, which surprisingly exceeded my expectations – hearty and flavorful! The staff was particularly accommodating when I asked for extra sauce, which could be more generously portioned. Prices are a bit steep, but hey, you're paying for that prime location. While the food is mostly pre-made, it serves its purpose well for a snack break. Just be mindful of the seating! 🍔
