Paid 20 for a combo. Asked for No tomato no onion. Got both. Burger and buns was sloppy and wet for some reason. Five guys is my go to when im looking for a burger. But out of the 20 ive been to in the country. This was the worst one. Also called to order on the way and got put on hold. With no response. Love five guys...but bad!

Very nice location inside the mall property. We had no wait, and our burgers were made to order. We got off the highway on our way to the Washington Dulles airport. It was worth the extra few minutes go get something good! The parking situation there is not great, though. If there are no spaces out front, good luck.

The burger tasted like what you expect for a Five Guys burger. Nothing special but it satisfies your craving when you want a burger.

Great food but in store ambience is not great. Better to sit outside.

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.
