Five Guys Famous Burgers & Fries

I had heard so much about 5 Guys and how great they were. They are a local chain with about a half dozen or so locations. They opened a location across the road from me and I was excited. The burgers at 5 Guys are great, and they have a lot of different (and free!) toppings to go along with them. The "regular" burger is actually a double (two burger patties). The "small" burger is a single regular sized patty. The fries are another story. I had heard them raved about, but they were not that impressive to me. They were okay, but just not fantastic. They do pour a huge quantity of fries in your bag. If its only two of you dining, I would get a small fry and share it. *Note: They do have unshelled peanuts in buckets all over the place so if you have a peanut allergy unfortunately you'll need to skip it. more

I have been to this Five Guys a couple of times. Their burgers are great. They have been rated the best in Washington several times. The burgers are of good size. I do not especially care for the french fries but that isn't why I go there. They also have peanuts in big barrels so why you are waiting you can help yourself to them. It is perfectly fine to throw the shells on the floor. But then you go around crunch crunch everytime you take a step. But the kids love it and the burgers are great. more
