Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Portions are huge for everything.
The little fries is enough for two people.
The little bacon cheeseburger is still big enough to fill you especially if you have fries.
The regular size bacon cheeseburger will give you heartburn.
All toppings are free so get your burger ALL THE WAY (everything in the black)
You can get your fries five guys style or Cajun style. If the Cajun seasoning is too excessive for you, ask for the seasoning on the side.
Eat peanuts while you wait.
Fin.

This was my first time at any Five Guys even though we have them locally. The burger is fully customized and amazing! The bag was filled with fries and it was a little difficult getting the burger out but it was worth it. Next time I’ll try a shake too.

After posting my original review, the owner contacted me about my experiences. I’ve been to this location many times since and seen an improvement: no more pan handling. Over all, this a great place in a great location.

Best burger and fresh fries I’ve ever had. Yes, even better than In ‘n Out! Friendly, fast, accurate customer service! Price not bad for food you get!

Another great Five Guys location. But what makes this extra great is the staff. The cashier was so friendly and outgoing it made my trip here even better! Give that man a raise!

I had a bacon cheeseburger and a bacon hotdog.
The cheeseburger was juicy and not overcooked. And the hotdog was cooked just right.
I would recommend it if you are looking for a good burger or hotdog!

Five Guys makes a decent burger and fries with fresh ingredients. They have a good variety of burger toppings to choose from. Can’t go wrong with them, but at the same time it’s nothing to write home about.
I come to this particular location once in a while. Two times they’ve gotten my order wrong, even though my orders are simple without any special requests, but they’re always happy to fix it.
I wish they would serve real iced tea, not the horrible substance that comes out of a soda fountain.
The unlimited free peanuts are a nice touch.

Best Five Guys I’ve been to. Everything was fresh and tasty, the staff was friendly, and the space is quite clean and well-​maintained.
Just beware that it is a stop for random neighborhood characters, so there is the off chance that you could be accosted for change or something if you’re not careful.

I will have to say when you want a good burger this is the first place I will think about. They have a good quality burger at a good price. The fries are very good, and they make sure you have plenty of them to make sure you are not hungry when you are done.
You get what you want on your burger, all you have to do is know exactly what you want when you are there.
The staff is very friendly and they are smiling no matter what job they are doing, I have seen the staff member smiling while cleaning the tables, so that to me means they are at least enjoying their job. I have not had a bad experience here and I have enjoy my dinning experience with Five Guys.

Loved the hot dog, plenty of toppings to pile on, and the kids loved the burgers. Also, they have us mountains of French Fries!

Not In-n-Out…but I’m a biased California kid!!! Def my east coast supplement though!!! The Cajun Fries are really the only thing you need… or as the Eastern Shore calls them: Boardwalk fries!!!

Pretty decent Five Guys location located just a block away from the Noma metro station. It’s not the best Five Guys I’ve been to, but the food was tasty and filling enough. I ordered the small hamburger and a small order of fries (though I wouldn’t call the fries small — they were very big chunky pieces of fries). Service was friendly and quick and there are plenty of topping choices.

This is some good schitt!!! Juicy burgers. Health conscious? Diet conscious? Stay away.

I had tried Five Guys a couple of ones back home in CA and concluded that the food couldn’t compete with In-​n-​Out. Being in the other side of the country though and closer to Five Guys origins, I gave then another try.
Surprisingly, they weren’t even as good here as out in CA.
Pros:
1. Lots of choices of toppings, all included
2. Spicy fries
3. Unlimited free peanuts, if that is your thing
Cons:
1. The burger I practically cold when it comes out
2. I saw them put the bun on the grill and yet it defies heat and is soggy, limp, cold, and falls apart in your hands
3. The music is so loud inside you can barely hold a conversation
In the end, it is fast food and is okay, but really is not worth even a small fraction of all the hype it seems to get.

Visited this place a couple times when I use to work across the street at the DOJ building during the Spring of 2011. The burger tasted like something I could replicate at home and they over supply the fries. On a positive note, you do get a lot of bang for your buck. You get a lot of food for what you pay, but the food is «meh.» I do like however, that they offer to put A1 on your burger and you can customize said burger sandwich to your heart’s desire. What does not make up for this is the blandness of the food.
Oh yeah, I haven’t tried any of their hotdogs but my co-​worker use to order them. I found it odd how they sliced their hotdogs lengthwise in half before placing them on the bun and serving them.

I’d heard a lot of positives about this place and being that it is only a block from my apartment I figured it was time to give it a shot.
What a waste of 1,000 calories, all the guilt and none of the pleasure. The burger and the fries were sooooooo blah. They obviously believe that monstrous portions can make up for poor taste. Sure, they will give you a huge burger and a mountain (literally) of fries but both your wallet and your digestive system will pay too high a price for the product you receive.
I honestly prefer McDonalds and I haven’t been there in years. If you’re in the mood for some delicious greasy spoon style food hit up Ben’s Chili Bowl, not only does it taste good but its not a chain and most importantly they have they best chocolate shakes.
Skip it, I wish I had.

Yum!
Came here with a friend and saw bacon cheeseburgers on the menu and became excited and then saw cajun fries and became extremely excited!
When they were filling our bag up with our order, I saw the guy take a big cup (for the large fries) stuck it in the bag and then shoveled up a huge heap of fries and just sort of dumped them into the bag and then proceeded to add a few more shovels full. We ended up eating just half the fries they gave (because they gave us enough for 5 people). I guess we should have read the reviews recommending that we order the regular sized fries. Whoops.
The food was good and prices were reasonable.
The free peanuts thing is cute but I’m allergic so I don’t benefit from those at all haha.

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriott across the street and when we saw the Five Guys, we knew we had to come and try. Upon entering, you see a big box of unshelled peanuts on the counter (apparently they are free, but I didn’t have any).
The place is pretty big, but no one was really eating there. We actually took our food back to our hotel room to eat. My friend and I got the «little» bacon cheeseburger along with one order of large Cajun fries. The large order came with soooo many fries! We couldn’t even finish half of it. The burger was also pretty good. The burger tasted yummy, above average.
This is a good place to eat if you are staying at the hotel. Quick and easy.

Three and a half stars.
Best of the fast food options (Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King) near the New York Ave Metro Station. This location is a little larger than the one that Obama ate at down by the Navy Yard, and has windows on two sides.
For the uninitiated, Five Guys cooks up fresh burgers, not frozen. Their «Little Burger» (big enough for the average mortal) is really just a regular burger, while their «Famous Burger» is a double burger. Fixings (such as fried onions, mushrooms, etc) are free as are the peanuts, so you can munch while you wait (or you can take some to your table if you’re eating in.) They also have kosher hot dogs for those that don’t want a burger. When it comes to the potatoes, personally, I’m a fan of the Cajun fries. A small order will do because they always throw in a bunch of extras.
Biggest drawbacks? Well, it is fast food after all, so you’re not going to get your burger cooked the way you want. Also, I really wish they had milkshakes.

This particular location made me believe that restaurants to deserve a second chance. The first time I ate at 5 Guys at another location, I was determined to never dine there again. I mean, really, who wants to dine with peanut shells all over the floor and a gallon of grease dripping outta their burger???
This location was free of peanut discards. Ah… that means respectable people here… at last!
5 Guys now offer «little» burgers… which is just right for me. Plus, that means less grease… which is just the way I like it.
The «boardwalk» fries are still hit or miss. Some fries are cooked to perfection and the others are flaccid… not that I expect them to be stiff. You know what I mean. Anyways… stick with the regular order of fries instead of large because these people like to overload.
The fountain drinks were outta sync. I think the syrup was out. The staff were informed but they were unable to solve the problem the entire time my friends and I were lunching there.
The location is perfect! Windows all around… meaning when it’s sunny outside… bright inside! And plus, just steps from the NY St/​Gallaudet Metro.
