Quite possibly. The place is a revolving door of politicians and lobbyists. It's good, but not worth the wait or the price. It is probably a place everyone should go if they visit Arlington.

True Story: as a baseball fan, the first thing that pops into my head when i hear Arlington is the Texas Rangers for a split second. I was like 12 before i realized the Unknown Soldier wasn't buried under the left field grandstand*
*that last part is an exaggeration, however i did for awhile think that arlington was the same one as the arlington in Texas.

What place in Arlington are y'all talking about?
Hell Burger.
Oh, but, that's not a chain. Well, the owner has other local restaurants, but it's not a national chain.
Also, the price is amazing. You get a big ass, premium quality, ground in the store burger for $6. What's bad about that?

I remember it being more like a bit less than ten bucks for the burger, but I could be wrong as I was eating on corporate money. It's good, it's quality, it is big ass, but the burger itself lacked a defining character to it. The trimmings, though, were absolutely top notch quality. I don't recall being too big on the bun either.
Of all the eats I've had in Arlington in my travels, including catered lobbyist chow, that was probably the least remarkable meal.

They have premium cheeses at Ray's Hell, so if you get a cheese burger, the price can go up significantly. Me, I rarely get cheese burgers, so my price there is $6 + a bunch of amazing free toppings (grilled jalepenos, sautéed mushrooms and onions, etc...they have loads of them).
They also have a little known "to go" spot, so since I work pretty much right across the street, I can just go there, avoid crowds, and eat back at the office.

It's all chains really...TGIF, Cheesecake, Applebees, Ruby Tuesdays, etc...Its all lower quality, high sodium (like 300+% of the daily allowance), high calorie, and high fat food, that is put together, and cooked by people who don't really give a shit. I just assume eat at home where it's healthier and cheaper.
