The burgers are all right didn’t appreciate the sucker punch of bad BO in my face walking. You think the smell of the burgers and the fries would at least Hide it, but that’s not the case.

Don’t get me wrong I love myself some 5 Guys Burgers, but this location was just NOT it. Me and a Friend had ordered a cheese burger combo and kept it simple. Wait wasn’t long at all fairly quick but the burgers said otherwise.
Both burgers had 6 Slices of cheese, almost like they picked up the cheese blindly and slapped it on, it wasn’t even melted, just cold stacked cheese. I checked burger for the same but OH! i spotted a piece of bacon in between the veggies on a cheese burger.
Honestly five guys is an amazing franchise, this location was just so horrible.
We ended up taking a few of the fries and just had to leave the burgers as our appetites were just finished at that point.

Ordered a burger for takeout, unfortunately the patty was dry. Seems to be a common thing with five guys branches lately. Fries were good though.

Usually go to the Royal Oak location, but they were closed so I tried this location. Long wait for sure which I don't mind as long as the food is being prepared right. The fries were soggy and undercooked, the burger had very little ingredients, lettuce wrap burger came with paper thin lettuce on both end. Gotta admit was surprised with the difference.

Now, three decades after our first location opened in Arlington, Va., Five Guys – a fast-casual restaurant chain named for the Murrells' five sons – serves a classic take on hamburgers, fries and milkshakes in more than 1,700 locations across 24 countries.

Our standard veggie is a mix of peppers, onions and mushrooms with or without cheese.
