Five Guys has mastered one aspect of the fast food experience: The limited menu. It's hamburgers, hot dogs, and the one concession to vegetarians - grilled cheese (I appreciate this as there are times when my business group will include vegetarians and I still get to eat at places like this. For example, In-N-Out Burger doesn't have any options for veggie heads.)

And so with that, it's then paramount that the hamburgers are of a high quality. And indeed they are. A "regular" hamburger is actually two patties, whereas a "little" hamburger is only one. Mrs. RJG said one is more than sufficient (these aren't small like Freddy's for example). I naturally go for the regular. From there you request your toppings, which are numerous. "It'll be ready in 7 minutes" the girl at the counter stated. That's music to my ears. Nothing is more depressing than having your order ready two seconds after ordering. You order it - and they cook it. Sure, sometimes they'll have a head start, but not by much. They don't, as a rule, want burgers sitting around. So the burger usually comes out searing hot. I've burned the roof of my mouth more than once at the Reston location. As stated in another post, the taste is closest to Kincaid's overall (a Fort Worth institution for my new readers). The fries are fresh cut potatoes, and they even tell you where the potatoes were grown (Burleson, Idaho I think was this day's special). And, while you're waiting those 7 minutes, grab a handful of peanuts that are sitting everywhere and munch down as many you can eat. Just like chips at a Mexican restaurant.

All Five Guys locations have a red and white checkered tile look. The walls feature the numerous articles that have been featured on Five Guys, many of them from the Washingtonian, a local magazine similar to "D" or "5280".

My wife and I have eaten here many times in the past, however, today was our first visit in a couple of years. We were disappointed with the burgers. I had a bacon cheese burger and my wife had a bacon burger. We both thought they were blah. They did not have much flavor. We also had fries which we thought were very good. We also thought that the price was too high. We can normally get a great lunch for $15 to $18. Our lunch at Five Guys was over $24.

If you are looking for a really good burger, and you don't care about atmosphere, this is the place! Loved all the toppings, and the order of fires was big enough to feed a family of 4! It was fast, and the best burger I ever had!

Healthy servings, and no extra cost for additional toppings. Fries are solid, milkshakes pretty decent as well, old school 50's style burger joint food and atmosphere. For burgers I still prefer Smashburger, but you can't go wrong with 5 guys

Went here on recommendations from other people. Some said it was as good as In and Out. Not in a heartbeat. The order taker was very disinterested, the music was way too loud, the restaurant was dirty, would not go here again. Not as good as Burger King. The employees were not invested.
