I would be at 5 stars, except for the price point. A burger, small fries and a shake came out to just under $25. In what world? Ray Kroc would roll in his grave. The fries are always fresh and delicious. Just the right amount of salt. The shakes are blended out of the machine, but still great quality. The burgers are always a hit, and at least they don't charge you by topping. This location has plenty of seating and seems to be pretty well stocked and maintained. read more

The person at the counter was very rude and unprofessional. Acted like she didn't want to help. After speaking to the manager issue was resolved. I don't understand why paying customers are treated this way. Foul language was said. read more

Over price and the burger was way too greasy. At their price point, I might as well go to a diner for something a little bit better. Service is fine and ambiance is the same at all their stores. Would not recommend going to Five Guys, you can do better. read more

I visited the Five Guys location around 2 PM today and noticed a concerning situation involving the manager on duty. He was yelling at one of the employees in front of customers and not letting her do her job. She looked very stressed and upset, and it made the environment uncomfortable. I come here often and usually see the two ladies working hard and doing a great job, but today the atmosphere was completely different because of how the manager treated her. I wanted to share this because no employee deserves to be treated that way, especially in front of others. read more

We stopped by here on the way home We come here often. But today. The burger was gross. Frozen tomato. Super soggy bun with a hard chuck on top Like it was overcooked or stale in just one spot. Usually they are great and the food is good. But today it was sad. Dont know if we will come back to this one location again read more

A complete cluster*#^@. Ordered online, it said it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. It was obvious that wasn't happening. They were incredibly backed up but in observing them it wasn't just that they were overloaded, but they were kind of confused and incredibly inefficient. Thank goodness after about 15 minutes or so, I could see when my burger order (the bun and condiments) hit the counter about 12 deep or so. I watched it proceed, slowly, go toward the back where it was waiting for fries (none done despite the depth of line) and then proceeded to sit there for almost 5 minutes until I grabbed the attention of a very busy worker and said "my burger has been back there 5 minutes, just waiting for fries. I eventually got my burger and fries 35 minutes after I ordered it. I'm glad I wasn't in a particular hurry. I'm a regular Five Guys customer (not this location) and I've never seen anything like it. read more

I love Five Guys in general but this location is horrible. The place should be shut down for health violations. I watched the cook take a dozen pre-cooked, cold burgers sitting in a container next to the grill and put them on the grill to warm them up. They never got warm enough to melt cheese though. He tested temperature of the almost warm patties by touching them in between scratching his ass. I am not sure if he was scratching his ass to add flavor to the burgers on purpose or not. He scratched before touching every patty though and without being hot, who knows what bacteria lived on the burgers in the end. It was revolting. read more

Charge me $4 for a bottle coke that they apparently don't have. Refused to refund me said $4. Instead just handed me the smallest cup they have. Really!! Overpriced garbage with even worse customer service read more

I'm a big fan of Five Guys, but I don't love this particular location in McPherson Square. The staff aren't particularly polite or patient, the food is slightly lower quality than other locations', and the price for the quality is disappointing. read more

I love visiting five guys for a quick pit stop. But when I came here, the floor was dirty, the tables were dirty, the restrooms were dirty and one of the doors didn't close when we tried to close it. The food wasn't fresh and it was kind of cold, barely warm. I'd come back to give it another chance but I was very disappointed. read more

For to go orders they need plastic bags. The brown paper bags both soaked thru w grease within a few minutes and literally fell apart w fries falling out. The palm of my hand and then both bags literally were dripping grease on the ground. Good burger but holy cow the grease was truly overwhelming. read more

Burgers are good but the fries are the best. I love the shakes too. The staff is friendly

Very rude cashier! He added an extra item that I didn't order and when asked to remove it he made a big show raising his voice and trying to deny it. Then he turned to his coworkers and proceeded to yell "I don't care if I get written up!" All he had to do was delete one item. Really not necessary for his behavior. Top it off they forgot the cheese on my cheeseburger! Do better Five Guys! read more

This is one of the best five guys I've been to! The food was quick, (and very delicious)! When I visit DC again I will make sure to stop here! read more

You can never go wrong with Five Guys... especially when you're traveling and just want an awesome burger!! Friendly staff and love the peanuts! read more

Fast and quick service! The team behind the counters are very nice. The burgers come out perfectly as I would get at any Five Guys. I also appreciate that the dining room is clean and they did everything to keep it clean as people come and go. This I appreciate these touches especially in the post-pandemic world. read more

Great fries! As good as other locations I have visited. read more

This is like every Five Guys I have been to. Tons of free peanuts to eat while waiting for your order to be cooked. The hamburgers are amazing. The best in the business! The portion of fries is enormous. One order is easily enough for two people. And, the fries are great. They don't offer much besides burgers and fries, but they do those two things superlatively. If you like burgers, I highly recommend Five Guys! read more

Firs time eating a burger at Five Guys. I ordered the bacon and cheese double burger and skipped the fries. I did order the large Coke. Great burger! Tasty, plenty of bacon, cheese, toppings, and added the jalapeños. The fountain Coke was perfect. Not too sweet or over/under carbonated. Service was friendly, easy to deal with, repeated my order back for accuracy and thanked me for my order. The restaurant was clean, plenty of seats, and good music playing on the overhead speakers. Employees were busy cleaning the windows, sweeping floors, and emptying trash cans. I enjoyed sitting at the counter facing the street watching people and traffic. It's like live tv for me. Loved the burger! read more

I absolutely adore Five Guys! It's one of my favorite burger places in the area. I usually go here often when I'm in the mood. Their burgers are so filling and cooked very well! Some might disagree with me, but this place will not disappoint you. The burgers are not like anything that I have eaten before! Fantastic taste if you ask me! Their fries are also to die for. I recommend going to this place if you are in the mood for burgers and need something filling. read more

As you can see this was (previously) my favorite 5 Guys around. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and yes, for sure served up the only burger worth eating in DC...5 guys signature burgers and the only Iced Tea- Gold Peak. Very sad to learn that this location has been CLOSED (maybe temporarily) by the city because the owner hasn't paid the city it's sales tax collected, owing the city over $500,000. For me, all the goodness this restaurant was, takes a backseat to the fact that this owner/business cheated my city out of sales taxes it collected from paying customers. WORSE- the owner cheated and stole from me, their customer, by charging me sales tax on my delicious hamburger, out of this world french fries (grease gladly accepted) and Gold Peak Sweet Iced Tea...pocketed that sales tax and never turned it over to the city I live in and that it serves. You've cheated me and you've cheated my city. If this location pays up and re-opens that's great for the city, great for the economy of our our city and great for hungry customers wanting a great burger but, for me, you only steal from me once. I won't ever return. read more

Five Guys is an excellent hamburger chain. It does not taste as good as Shake Shack, but it is much cheaper (about 30%-50% less money). It used to dominate the Washington market in burgers, while Shake Shack was very big in New York (where I come from originally). Eventually Five Guys moved into NYC, and Shake Shack became plentiful in DC. Both are very good places to eat, but, if you want the best burgers irrespective of price, you should go to Shake Shack, and however, if you want damn good burgers, and to save money on that meal, you should go to Five Guys. Also, Five Guys is the one with endless free peanuts, which you can have as a free side instead of french fries. That saves still more money. This is a nice, helpful Five Guys; a good place to go. read more

It was our first time to visit Washington DC, and this Five Guys was the first restaurant we went to off the plane. We've been to Five Guys before, and the food is just as good each time. But there was something special about this visit... the guy working the register. His name is Davon, and he has a special personality about him that really stood out. He is super friendly, genuine, and seems to make every moment count. He even struck up a conversation with me about my custom jean jacket and we talked about that for some time, & about his clothing business he has started. Five Guys, you hired a real good one. So big shoutout to Davon! Keep doing what you're doing! Thank you for the amazing customer service :) read more

Great service I really enjoyed my burger I didn't have to wait too long. The restaurant was very clean read more

At local hotel ordered online and add delivered to Lobby. The driver was ahead of scheduled time from the app which was a bonus. Order a bacon double cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce. Lettuce was a little wilty but overall top notch Burger would definitely order in the future. Very convenient way to get a tasty burger not leave my hotel and continue to work from my room. read more

Is there anything better than five guys? When it comes to burgers and fries, the answer is no! They are reliably good, and this store is no exception. The meat is good, the fries are excellent, I mean excellent. And they put anything you want on the burger. My standard is the bacon cheeseburger with jalapeño peppers. It's just a little bit of heaven. Remember that a regular order of fries is large enough to split. And plan for enough time so you can come and enjoy the free peanuts before your burger. This is one institution I hope endures forever! Bear in mind that this five star rating is for a fast food burger place. I have been to a few gourmet burger places that have phenomenal meat, but these are hard to find, pricey, and hit and miss. For the price, and the reliability, five guys can't be beat! read more

Five guys burgers are just something else. I always get the bacon double cheeseburger with everything. Patties are freshly grilled from non frozen meet when ordered. Toppings are always fresh and the burger comes tightly wrapped in foil, which makes eating very easy, just peel as you go. Fries are always on point, and cooked In peanut oil, which adds to the amazing flavor. I have never been disappointed in any five guy burger I have ever had, and I consider it the best fast food burger on the market. I would give this place 5 stars but this location is always busy and parking sucks, so had to give it a small ding. But I assure you, if you don't like this burger, u just don't like burgers In general. read more

Five Guys - Open late night on weekends - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This location is generally on par with other Five Guys locations as far as the food quality and atmosphere is concerned. It's conveniently located by the McPherson Square metro station and a good option in the evening when a lot of the casual dining places in the heart of downtown are closed. The service could be faster at times, but otherwise it's a reliable option for burger and related fare. read more

This location is extremely large and extremely busy during the work week. It's located near McPherson Sq on the orange/blue line of the metro. What I love: -large dining area -they have a cool touchscreen coke machine that lets you make hundreds of different combinations of cokes! What I don't love: -Dining area is always crowded -They were a bit slow.. but it was lunch time. read more

Standard Five Guys fare, which we love, & a great location to our hotel. The employees are fast & helpful. This is our 2nd trip to DC & we have eaten at this location during both trips. read more

First time at this location and they messed my order up smh This food is too expensive to not get what I paid for....got all the way back to work before checking :( note to self always check your food before leaving.

Delicious! I ordered the Beacon Cheeseburger. It was nice and juicy and perfect. The fries were great, too. I also got a chocolate shake for desert, mouth watering! I wouldn't recommend getting bacon, though. Just get the regular cheeseburger and you'll be better off. Adding it costs an extra dollar and they only gave me one piece... Other than that, great place to have a meal! read more

Five Guys - Slightly hidden area with tables, behind kitchen. - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Always tasty, always reliable! This Five Guys is located at McPherson Square and is always a "cultural experience." You get lots of locals, lots of hobos, lots of tourists. I also notice that all Five Guys are great places to eat dinner alone - lots of singles, and often attractive singles. Can't beat a cheeseburger with ketchup and a sack of fries (though I hate wasting the fries, I wish they had an even smaller size!). read more

Ordered this afternoon. Promptly went to the bathroom to throw up about 6 minutes after my first bite. Honestly I don't think I'll ever eat five guys again. read more

Well, well, well, Five Guys again. This is my first time at this location next to the McPherson Metro (east stop), and I was a little surprised for reasons I will detail below. The environment was that of a typical Five Guys. Hard surfaces amplify the volume in the dining room. You can always see what the cooks are doing. There are very little frills disguising what the restaurant does: quality food with quality ingredients. Until now. This was the first time their fries unsatisfied me. As I waited in the line for the bathroom I was able to see what the fry guy does with the fries, and I wanted every secret to their delicious fries. Now I'm the kind of guy that likes my fries crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. When I watched the guy dunk the fries in the oil for a second dip, I thought they double fried their fries. To my dismay, he pulled the fries out of the oil within seconds of their second dip. Now as a guy that enjoys the science behind cooking, it didn't register to me that he basically undermined the whole principle of frying. That principle is cavitation, or the creation of bubbles under the surface of the food. When anything is dipped in hot oil, the water on the cells of the surface of the food instantly evaporate. This leaves behind a bubble that the proteins and carbohydrates created. By dipping the fries in oil for a second time (and probably not as hot as before), the oil rushes to fill in the precious bubbles you've created before, and coats the fries in oil. As a result, my fries turned out soggy and oily, a bellyache of a reminder of what my stomach has to endure for the next few hours--a stomach full of peanut oil oil-soaked potato strips. On the upside, I did try their milkshake and it was solid. I got a chocolate milkshake with bacon bits and it was delicious. The milkshake came in a standard 12 Oz cup, which I thought was a bit small for a milkshake that would eventually end up being $5 after tax. Fortunately I got more than enough bacon. The only bad part was that the bacon chunks were too big to fit through the straw, but that's not really a bad thing, is it? In the end I think I will stick to their burgers and this milkshake, but I will be wary of how they prepare their fries read more

This Five Guys at 14th and I Street NW is the worst. 9 people behind the counter and they can't get an order straight, for me or the other customers Also need customer training -- how to speak to a customer. read more

I cannot believe I'm giving a fast food restaurant a 5-star rating but I need to give a shout out to the staff here. They are very friendly and run a super tight operation. As always, the food is good but the team at this location went above and beyond expectations to make you feel welcome. I see successful careers in hospitality for everyone trained by their manager. Please keep up the great work! read more

This was one of my first time trying Five Guys, I have heard about this place from many friends so I was excited to finally try it. I got a cheeseburger and some fries. I will say they have a very unique and delicious taste. I believe my favorite part of the meal I ordered was the fries. They had just the right amount of salt and were so crispy and crunchy. It's amazing how good their food is because after all they are considered a fast-food restaurant. I also enjoyed how they are handling the whole COVID-19 situation. They make sure that everyone is the social distance when waiting in line and pour your drink into your cup so it's not crowded in the drinks section. 10/10 would recommend! read more

The burgers here are really good and the french fries are amazing. They're so crunchy and not too salty. The staff was very friendly and carried out my order quickly. The place was also clean and they sanitize pretty well (which is very important now that we're in a pandemic). I don't usually go to Five Guys but every time I do, I never leave disappointed. They have good prices for pretty large portions so you can get a really good meal here. I like how everyone follows CDC guidelines and make sure to stand six feet apart from each other in the lines. Overall, a good place to take your business to, so if you're ever in the area, come here. Also, don't forget to try their milkshakes! read more
