ALEXANDRIA, VA – Holy Cow Del Ray is celebrating its first decade of serving up custom burgers, crafted milkshakes, and hand-cut fries to the Del Ray neighborhood!

“Ten years has really flown by. It feels like just yesterday we opened this place because we didn’t want to make rice bowls,” said one of the owners Bill Blackburn. We’re known for great burgers, and for the controversial names we give them.”

Quarters, Scratch-Offs and Free Burgers for a Year

The restaurant is also known for many things including it’s generosity to the community.  Patrons know that since 2012, a quarter for every burger sold has been donated to ACT for Alexandria, the community foundation representing hundreds of local charities. In September 2018, they marked the 400,000th quarter donated, or $100,000.  That works out to about $17k a year in quarters still going back into the Alexandria community.
