At last! My friend Jessica and I, after many months of talking and planning, went to Whitlow's last night for dinner. We chose to eat there on a Monday to take advantage of half-price burger Monday, and take advantage of it we did!
Whitlow's is a casual sit-down diner/grill/restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, with a typical American-food menu, including their famous (and delicious!) hamburgers. Jessica ordered the Smokehouse burger, which included BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and bacon, while I ordered a modified version of the same burger and opted for Monterey Jack cheese & bacon. We tried our very best, but were unable to finish our burgers; they were just too darn big. (Maybe if we had run a marathon the day before like my friend Ellen we would have been able to finish). We didn't even have room to stop by the Cheesecake Factory on the way home for a ridiculously overpriced (but tasty) piece of cheesecake.

Though I was warned at work by my co-workers to watch out for single guys at Whitlow's looking to pick up girls, Jess and I didn't have a problem with that, probably because we both had on wedding rings. We were also pretty engrossed in our burgers to notice much going on around us.

Apparently Whitlow's opened in Washington, DC in 1946, but closed in 1989 for a redevelopment and then re-opened in it's current location in 1995. If you're looking for a large tasty classic burger, try Whitlow's. Remember to go hungry!

Loved out Whitlow's Night! I am a classic American who can't live without her Bacon Cheeseburger, French Fries, and Diet Coke! Thanks for meeting me for a fun night!
