Four things that should be in every to-go order: Ketchup, A Straw, Napkins, and a Tamper-evident seal over the bag, this had none of those. Two stars and not one because food was fine.

Went here late at night. Its nice that it's open late. It took a really long time for our food to be made and when it was done the staff was irritated when you didnt pick up your food immediately after it was done as if there was some urgency, yet they had taken 10+ minutes to make one burger.

Stopped by for a quick lunch since I was in town for a conference. Place was very clean and service was fast. I want to give a shoutout to Steve, who was working behind the counter. He was working his butt off to make sure every order was correct and timely, and was very polite.

I don’t know what’s happened to Five Guys, but it’s changed over the years. The burgers are overpriced, plain tasting, and not worth wasting your hard earned money on. Pretty sure the overpriced milkshake gave us horrible food poisoning (vomiting throughout the night), and the experience inside this location wasn’t anything special. Save your money and go to Otto’s, the Corner Room, or even Wendy’s — all would be better options than Five Guys. Makes me miss Whataburger or In-N-Out. One positive from this location was the employees. They were hard workers and attentive.
What is the Five Guys story/How did you guys get your name?
Five Guys began its pursuit to redefine the global burger landscape in 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell asked three of their sons whether they wanted to start a business or go to college. 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 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.
