Was going to get a burger with my daughter before theater. Fries overcooked and I'm concerned about hygiene when I saw one of the employee rolling the carpet with gloves and then going to the cooking area without changing gloves ..... will avoid the place for now ....very sad of what it became.

Amazing food. Probably the best burger I've had in Nova Scotia! Went with my homies from the gym for a lil cheat meal 🤤 we called it Five guys takes on Five guys 😆. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with Cajun style fries 🍟😋. So good and service was fast. It's nice how close we are all getting. Really love these guys , we lean on each other for motivation and support ❤️ I'm sure we will be back again 👌

Ordered through skip, the driver was lovely but that was about the only positive from our experience.
We got a bacon cheeseburger, a hot dog and some Cajun fries and everything was soaked in grease. I've never had Cajun fries that were bland before, but honestly there was no taste to anything.
Our milkshakes were not what we ordered even though the slip on the bag was correct.
The cost to product ratio was awful also. Would have been better off getting Burger King for the quality of the food.

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.

Is the Five Guys veggie sandwich a veggie patty?

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.
