Free peanuts!
If you order a small fry, they shove a bunch of fries in your bag... I recommend you bring some kind of aioli cuz I don't think they have any..
It's such a great price to just buy individual patties... Or just add a Patty to your burgers.
One burger patty is like $3 or so. One burger comes with two Patty's and is like $13

They do great simple burgers, but the main reason I love this place is the fries are the closest thing in the US to English chips.

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 veggie sandwich is not a veggie burger, but truthfully, it can be a mix of whatever you'd like. Choose any combination of our condiments and add cheese for an additional cost.
Our standard veggie is a mix of peppers, onions and mushrooms with or without cheese.
What is the best way to reheat leftover fries?
Leftover fries are excellent reheated in the oven (or Air Fryer). According to Chad Murrell, one of the Five Guys, just pop them in a 350-degree oven for about 10-15 minutes.
Also, give those leftover fries a try as hash browns, home fries, or even as the filling in an omelet.
