A well-cooked burger is truly one of the most satisfying things in the world. There’s nothing quite as good as a flavorful, juicy burger with a side of well-seasoned fries. We have our choice of good burger places in DC but there’s none like Ollie’s. Ollie’s Trolley is truly the best nostalgic burger joint in DC!

Ollie's Trolley stands out from chains with its old-time feel, but at one time, it was part of a national chain. The Ollie's Trolley chain began in the 1930s.

Most of the other Ollie's Trolleys have closed but DC is one of the few that has remained.

The DC location keeps the heart of the old-fashioned chain alive while including modern upgrades and new twists.
