Cassia County Commissioners heard Jackson area residents’ case for incorporation as a city at Burley‘s City Hall Monday. Rob Williams,

Reading this review/posting about Marvin on U st. is like reading about kids
bickering about what and who has a something better in their neighborhood.
It’s obvious most of the comments from the ones who are the haters about the burger, the decor, the name , the owners and the vibe about Marvin have not and do not know what “IT” is about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don’t really know but you think you know.
It’s all opinions w/c we are all entitled to.
So here’s mine and let me school you on FACTS.

I don’t see anyone talking about the $25 /ounce burger at BLT downtown . Which btw if you order it, requires a 2 oz. minimum. Yes, it’s KOBE beef.
So what if Marvin has a $15 burger ?
Clearly, there’s something special and great about it. And to assume that U st. is pretentious makes it sad for you who can’t appreciate the progress that DC is doing on their own. Sure it’s becoming cool and hip ( read the NY times) . I love my “hood” and being here 8 years, it’s just great that I only have to walk a block to or two at the most to enjoy Marvin any day of the week I can.

ThievCorp.,Local 16, Marvin, ESL’s motto have always been to support the local community and talent first and foremost.
TCorp. does not only set the bar for cutting edge organictronica music and style they also do a lot for the world and are aware of current events and issues. As much as they can and they try with out even proving it to anyone of you haters. Check your facts before you whine about them or their partners because of one place they are associated with due to a burger. HA !
Let me help you guys out, you need it !

As far as being part of the community, they deal , buy and support local farmers, organic growers and the like to be able have quality food for their places to serve you. The public who want to claim about being epicureans.
What TCorp. ( the establishments they and their partners run and own ) are doing is just what they do best. Making a comfortable atmosphere and great eats for those who recognize it and appreciate it. Dress code or none. It is what it is and they do it well. And this all comes without mass or commercial ads. It’s what they do.

They’re not trying to please everybody all the time.
The neighborhood is happy about it and I don’t hear anyone here in MY neighborhood complaining, thinking or wanting to be like NYC.
Who cares ? We’re doing our own thing.

Dragonfly is no longer folks ( old news )..that got bought by the FlyLounge folks.
Now, talk about pretentious.

Go to where you want to go and enjoy that. Stay where and what you’re used.
No need to be mean, whiny and hissy about something or someplace you haven’t tried.

MARVIN ROCKS !
Owners, Staff , Dj and all.

Everyone is jumping all over the $15 burger because the only reason you price a burger at $15 for your restaurant is if you are trying to make a statement. The folks at Marvin are trying to say “We’re top shelf. We’re exclusive. We’re the best money can buy.” The problem is that doesn’t work on U Street, even in its gentrified state. Expense account people would order that — the lawyers and lobbyists rich old money folks — they’d all order that. But on U Street, it just screams pretension.

Charlie Palmer’s burger isn’t $15. BLT Steak, the most famously overpriced wanna-be NYC joint to grace our Nation’s Capitol, has a hamburger for $16. And Marvin wants to charge $15 for a burger? Please…

If you’re on U Street and you want the best burger U Street can offer (and in an inviting, exciting, beer-centric venue), walk over to Saloon. The burger is priced reasonably and I guarantee it would kick the Marvin burger’s ass in any blind taste test.

Simmer down veger’s, just kidding.
