Fast and friendly service with great music to listen to while you wait! Burgers and fries come out exactly how you order them. If they don't, they are quick to fix the order. I get extra Cajun fries and get a side of malt vinegar to dip! Fresh veggies and the bread is never soggy or stale. My go-to in the DCA airport! read more

Being one of three options for dinner in the DCA US Airways terminal, I think this is your best bet for safe, American airport food. For those of you who have been to Five Guys before, you know what you're in for: Delicious french fries that looks as though the potatoes were peeled that day; juicy and tender burgers (you can go All The Way in the airport, too!) and only a few soft drink options. The problem, and what seems to be a recurring theme throughout the entire terminal, is the wait. There was a line of about 10 people waiting to pick up their orders when I arrived and by the time I had ordered and paid, no one's orders had been called. What I don't understand is, there were 10 people behind the counter (I'm not kidding) TEN people all bumping into each other, laughing, talking and rarely looking at the burgers on the grill or the prepartion lines. Cutting that group in half and finding an effective manager to control the gossip would increase output times and customer satisfaction. .... But hey, at least it beats service at Gordon Biersche next door! read more

Good burgers and good service. I go through DCA airport every day and I eat here at least once a week. It is a great spot if you take into account that it is airport food. I really think they have the best burgers compared to the other burger places at the airport. read more

The Cost of Airport Food Yikes. $12.19 for a Bacon Cheeseburger & small drink (No Fries & No Tip)? Yes it was delicious! I eat about 1 burger a month when there's nothing else appealing nearby. Just didn't realize it would cost that much since it was counter-carry with no tables or seating. I ate it all so I would make it through my next flight. That turned out to be a good call, as weather prevented the plane from landing ~ plane was diverted to another city for refueling & to wait for the fog to lift ~ adding 4 hours to the original 3-hour trip. I really don't want to see any more pretzels or cookies for a while . . . read more

Leaving on Sunday nights for business travel is one of my favorite ways to fly. Oftentimes, however, the airports can be quite busy, and if you're strolling through the terminal at mealtime it can be very difficult to find a table or a decent restaurant. Thank you DCA for having a Five Guys. I can grab a burger, carefully unwrap it from the foil (serving as a grease-catch / plate on my lap), and sit down at the terminal seating and "go to work." For the Five-Guys neophyte - and there should be very few of you out there, especially in the DC area - this joint has some of the best fresh burgers and cut-in-the back french fries. They cook everything to order, and the turn-time for a meal is PDQ - usually less than five minutes from ordering. A regular burger has two patties - so my advice is if you're not looking to engorge yourself before a long flight, then get the small burger - it has one patty. And one Five Guys' patty is more than enough meat for a burger - I'm pretty sure that it's more than a quarter pound. Also note that if you get the small fries, there's about 1.5 times more than a McDonalds offering of large fries. There's all sorts of toppings available on their burgers - LTMMOK - and then fried onions, mushrooms - whatever you want, within reason of course. And all the stores have free refills on their drinks, so don't go overboard before boarding otherwise you'll be really dreading that wait before the seatbelt light goes off at cruising altitude. In short, Five Guys is a great place to stop on your way in or out of National. The company has a great story, and a great following as well. Lots of great press - no need to blather further here. Just google the name and you'll see that I'm not the only one that's nuts over this restaurant. And by the way Five Guys, why no peanuts (which are usually standard, in the shell, at most restaurants) at the airport? read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Literally watched my completed burger sit for nearly 5 minutes while multiple people took a break.

I don't usually let myself eat fast food. Obviously, high fat content is a concern, but there's something else. You see, when I eat, I have to make sure that I eat everything in even numbers. I get two pastries for breakfast on Saturdays, and I have to get two burgers. Come to think of it, I like parking on even-numbered floors, too. Yep, you guessed it: OCD. So even walking into a place called Five (!) Guys was a challenge. I have to say, though, I am glad I did. Five Guys is the East Coast's answer to California's own In-n-Out. The prices were a little steep, but I guess it makes sense at the airport location. I am very curious to find out what the prices are at their stand-alone locations; they cannot be this high. The menu is as simple as TSA's 1-2-3 requirements: * hamburger * cheeseburger * bacon burger * bacon cheeseburger * little hamburger * little cheeseburger * little bacon burger * little bacon cheeseburger * regular fries * large fries That's it. Well, they have sodas and hot dogs, too. Naturally, I ordered TWO little cheeseburgers at $3.49 a pop. (Thanks, Five Guys, for putting LITTLE cheeseburgers on the menu. I'd hate to order two big cheeseburgers). Ouch. Add some regular fries and a soda, and you're looking at a $12 happy meal. Ouch. All items are a la carte, so no "#2 with cheese." The burgers are pricey to be sure; however, if you like toppings, you're dead cow meat heaven: all your toppings are included in the price. Choose as many as you want for FREE: * Mayo * Relish * Onions * Lettuce * Pickles * Tomatoes * Fried Onions * Sauteed Mushrooms * Ketchup * Mustard * Jalapeno Peppers * Green Peppers * A-1 Sauce * Bar-B-Q Sauce * Hot Sauce I had burgers with ketchup, mustard and sauteed mushrooms. The burgers were delicious with thick, juicy patties prepared well-done. There's a big sign telling you that they cook all their burgers well done, and they don't microwave or freeze anything. I'd say that Five Guys was on par with In-n-Out, if not better. When it comes to fast food, it's definitely top of the line. The fries didn't excite me as much. They were very greasy (cooked in peanut oil) and prepared home-style, i.e., thick cut with potato skin. Regular serving of fries is pretty big; I couldn't even finish half. Overall, great place to visit before boarding your US Airways flight. Remember to check the monitors for up-to-the-minute flight information, though: the burgers are cooked to order, and it'd be a shame if you missed your flight waiting for your order number to be called. read more

AVERAGE, just average. I was told this was the In-n-Out of the east coast which made me slightly skeptical, because as my New Englander friends say "the East Coast has pizza the West Coast has hamburgers" and they are right. I will never try to compare pizza in LA to pizza anywhere within 100 miles of NYC, nor should I have expected to have hamburgers on the east coast be anything like the Tasty, juicy, HUGE and cheap burgers you can get at most any shack in California (TK Burger in Huntington Beach or Newport is one of the best!) Without wasting too much time on ranting about why I was insulted to pay over $10 for a burger and fries from a fast food joint (seems to be a fast food price problem here, see my review of Chipotle) I will say, at least its better than Burger King, but they charge you like it is a Fillet Mignon. read more

Just like any other Five Giys with 2 exceptions. The prices are inflated and there are no tables to sit at. For these two reason a 3 1/2 stars. Rounded to 4 because food was still good. read more

I'm very surprised and a bit skeptical off the glowing reviews here of five guys. I mean they are just another fast food chain. The burgers are OK, but they lack flavor and personality. With Ray's hell burger and good stuff burgers, I'm surprised so many people rated five guys number one. Make me honestly question the validity of Yelp all together. read more

Whenever I work the LGA-DCA Shuttle I make it a point to stop by Five Guys. One day my trip schedule took me from breakfast to lunch and I had Five guys for Breakfast and Lunch. Some of my co-workers walk all the way down to TGIF for breakfast but to me that's a waste of time. The sandwich is pretty typical...Eggs,bacon and cheese on a bun. Why does it taste so good? I have no idea. For lunch I get the little bacon cheese burger with a regular order of cajun fries. Words cannot describe how good the burgers are...the fries are perfect...crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. The service is always super fast. Sometimes I have only 20 minutes between flights but I'm able to order my freshly prepared food get back onboard and scarf my food down before the passengers start boarding. read more

Bryan and the Terrible, Awful, No-Good, Very Bad Day. It started at 3:45 AM at Reagan National Airport. Delayed flight meant missed connection meant scramble to find another flight. I won't spend the time regaling you with the gory details... just know that 11 hours later I finally got a plane. The shining bright moment in my Terrible, Awful, No-Good, Very Bad Day? 5 Guys breakfast sandwich. When you order a sandwich with an egg, you watch them crack and cook the egg. Hot bun, added a patty for $1, bacon and cheese. Simple ingredients combined to make me so happy in the midst of a shitstorm. Recently 5280 magazine held back giving a breakfast sandwich award because our options in Denver are that bad... If someone could do something as simple as a '5 Guys' chain in an airport in DC there would be hope for the Mile High City. read more

Abdul is the greatest manager and makes flying into DCA a pleasure. I'll always go to 5 guys here!

Even though 5 Guys is fast food, my lunch here today was the best airport food I have ever eaten. The menu is the full blown menu at regular non-airport 5 Guys. There's even a breakfast menu - they don't have that out in California! The quality of the burger is that of, or even better, than all of the 5 Guys locations that I have been to in the past. Despite being busy, they got my order correct, the bun was perfectly toasted (not soggy at all as I have often experienced at 5 Guys), and the patty was well cooked. And to make things even better, the prices are not hiked up like most airport places! Seriously, $4.50 for a burger in an airport is an absolute steal. Best layover meal ever! read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

A-ok for this fast food joint on the sterile side of the C concourse hidden next to C-37. The cashier was friendly, but the grill man, fry cook and food preps had some serious staring problems, it'd almost be better if they were behind the scenes in the heart of the house. It's Five Guys, the burgers were greasy, the fries beyond plentiful and the Coke products mixed just right. This place will keep thousands of cardiologists employed for decades to come. read more

Umm, less fries more burger!! There burger is excellent-on par with non fast food places or better, I love how they give you every topping imaginable standard. However, the amount of fries they give you is just scary. I mean they give you more fries than your head. And they are just ok-fries really are better if they are processed a little actually. read more

I had an amazing experience here. As soon as I walked up Abdul greeted me and made sure I was taken care of. This stranger's joy & friendliness genuinely made my day. Jasmine took my order with a smile. My food was fresh, hot, & delicious--I got a little cheeseburger and little Cajun fries for $11. My only complaint is that the online survey doesn't let me leave a comment! I wanted to commend Abdul and the rest of the staff here because they were truly noteworthy. Highly recommend Five Guys across the board. read more

Such great customer service & my favorite egg & cheese sandwich. Five Guys doesn't try to be something it is not...like a Mexican restaurant selling an overly hopped IPA on draft when I really want a Pacifico draft. Thank you Five Guys for being a local company who hit the big time & hasn't compromised quality. It was too early for your fabulous fries but I was temped. read more

There's one about 10 minutes away from where I am staying (south carolina), so I make sure to go every once in a while after work. Their burgers are some of the best I've had in years. Along wiith that, they give you a TON of fries, which is great considering they're so good. Mr. Pibb? oh yes please. SO glad there's one close by. Great place to go when you're looking for REAL burgers. read more

Food is good. ...but service eh. Here is a tip for Five Guys airport....When its 530AM and there is a customer standing at the counter...how about say hello, we aren't open yet...instead of just staring at you with bacon in your hands. If that is too hard....make a sign that says CLOSED. FYI it opens at 6am in case you are wondering. read more

The place was busy however it is no excuse to have poor hygiene. I am very particular regarding food handling. After my hamburger was made the cook was touching the raw hamburger meat then with the same gloves picked up the cooked meat and put it on my bun.... What's the point of gloves it they don't change them . I have gone to many five guys and have always thought that they met my expectations. I wouldn't feed my dogs here. read more

The people here so are so polite and nice!! I am so happy I stopped here rather than a more expensive worse sit down restaurant. The little man that was here greeting everyone was so great!!! He made my day! read more

It was 6:00 am on Monday morning. My husband and I were supposed to be in the air, returning to our hometown Denver. Received a call from Orbitz at 6:01 am: "I'm sorry, but your 5:45 am flight has been delayed". No shit. Man, I was irritable and hostile...directed mainly at the incompetence of US Airways (which I'm never flying again, if i can help it). Then suddenly I noticed that 5 Guys just opened. The smell of bacon on the griddle, and the sound of cracking eggs. It was as if the rain clouds over my head had parted, and a ray of light was shining upon this holy place. Best damn breakfast sandwich ever. Freshly cooked bacon (that they started at 5:00 am), eggs cracked and cooked up once ordered, soft yummy bun, melty gooey cheese. YUM. I almost added a burger patty for a $1.00, but didn't. Wish I did after having a bite of my husband's. They have a slew of toppings to choose from (onions, lettuce, jalapenos, A1 sauce, etc.) My choice? Hot sauce...of course. Irritability? Gone. Hostility? Gone. That sandwich was magic. read more

Love breakfast being available all day. Fast , hot and made well. Mushroom topping is a must. Good fries too. Worth it if your hungry and in a hurry. read more

What's special about Five Guys burgers? Yuck. Greasy, we'll done burgers, sloppy toppings, uninspiring fries. $17 for a cheeseburger, fries, and a fountain Coke? Never again. read more

Your normal five guys burger. Always consistent and expectations. The greasy burger your craving for will hit the spot. If your not into alot of that and heavy. Then its not the spot for you. Its you normal average five guy burger spot that you can get everywhere else. Cant go wrong there. Cajun fries with extra cajun seasoning always hit the spot too. The service seems more outstanding here but i guess it depends on who is also working there on the day of. What can i say love me a bacon cheeseburger. Thats on the heavier side too read more

Overpriced?? It's fresh meat (not frozen) and fresh veggies. You get whatever you want on it! The small burger is the size of most fast food joints. You taste meat and not bread! An order of fries is for two! I've never found them to be soggy. They're fried in peanut oil, I think it's physically impossible for them to be soggy... I love Five Guys, and if my arteries did, too -- I'd eat there all the time. read more

This is the best fast food service in the airport! The food was awesome as always! Thanks for the quick, friendly service here guys! Makes being in the airport a lot better. read more

I almost prefer not to fly out of this terminal so I won't even be tempted. I find the burgers slightly better than adequate (it's nice that you can get them with jalapenos), but the french fries call out to me. French fries! read more

This is a quick and efficient airport five guys. The staff is friendly and ready to take your order! It can get a bit confusing as to who is waiting to order and who is waiting for their food but if you just pay attention to the signs it clearly states where you should be ordering. The staff definitely understand here that you are in an airport and might be in a rush; they worked through about 10 orders in abut 10 minutes which I appreciated. If you are waiting for your US Airways flight I recommend checking out the five guys for quick service that is a notch above some of the other airport food options. read more

I can't complain about eating in the airport when in DC. The five guys burgers is a great place and reasonable for airport food. The ones in a West Palm were good but they didn't make it for some reason. The burgers are good as are the available toppings. Solid place for a bite while wasting time to get on flight. As good here as at any other 5 Guys. read more

Five Guys gets it done again... This time, our hero is stationed in the otherwise unexceptional regional air food court at Reagan National. Site of so many disappointments (missed connections), romances (biting into those buttery Auntie Anne's cinnamon raisin pretzels), and overly public mobile phone conversations, this food court is dominated by national chain crud (Cinnabon, Dunkin', Auntie Anne's, etc). Tucked back in the northwest corner, 5 Guys small format, friendly staff, and quick turnaround will have you scoping out a teeny round top sit-down table in the middle before you can say "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Get you some democracy and a fatty burger! (And some Cajun fries; they are freakin' delicious!) read more

Everyone should be familiar with five guys. The airport version is pretty familiar: same food, increased prices to account for the location. With that I'll focus on the location-specific differences: - Burger was solid, a little lighter on the toppings than free standing locations - Fries were cooked to well done, a little too much for me Go for it if you need dinner on the fly (pun intended, I guess). read more

First time having five guys and I'm not disappointed. Reminds me of a burger you make at a barbecue and that's the best kind. The workers look hard working so i put a tip in the tip jar. Thanks read more

This may be the best five guys in existence ... well maybe not. They do not have peanuts but they do have BREAKFAST. Awesome! I love five guys and every time I have to take a morning flight I get an egg with everything except mayo and a patty for $1. Five guys also has kick ass jalapeos. read more

A+! Perfect thing to stuff your face with after being starved by the airlines. Nice portion of the tasty burger, enough to hold you over on your next leg of your flight, and awesome fries. "I'm never brushing my teeth again after eating here, unless it's with a toothbrush made with that burger.." read more

You gotta love the five guys chain! Fresh made hamburgers and fries with everyone's favorite condiment, A-1!!! (I honestly think more burger places would get better ratings if they just want ahead and put A-1 on everything!) You have to wait a bit because they cook the burgers fresh when you order, but that is a good thing! The fries are outstanding and many go just for the fries. The servers are always friendly and helpful. Grab it to go and take it on the plane! read more

The best burger you can get in the DC area. I frequently get one before I fly out of DCA. I highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches with a burger patty added and/or get a burger with an egg added. The biggest advantage this location has is being at the airport so they have to save breakfast, because the fried egg added really completes one of their burgers, but isn't available at non-airport locations. read more

GOOD STUFF! Super juicy burger MADE TO ORDER.. melted cheese, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes.. YUMMY!! This is WAYYY better than In&Out!! read more

My first time eating at 5guys. Absolutely delicious burger. The wait times were long, but worth it nonetheless. I had the cheeseburger with all toppings except for jalapeños and it was divine! I love that they had mushroom as a topping. Will definitely return if I'm in the north pier terminal at Reagan airport! P.s. The fries were ok..I prefer crunchy McDonalds fries :) read more
