I was in town for the week for work and stopped in for lunch. It was pretty busy but the staff did a great job of getting orders and filling them. We ate in. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. read more

The fries are the reason we visit. They cost a bit more but the portion is huge. There are several locations in the area.

Place was clean came right before closing. Service was quick even though they gave someone order before mine who ordered after me. The patty melt was cooked a lil too long bread was burnt. Burger wasn't as good as usual from other locations 6/10. The fries were cold which is ridiculous 4/10 lacked seasoning. Wouldn't return to this location. read more

Solid five guys!! More of a takeout option though... and there isn't great parking options (most five guys I've been to have a parking lot - but this is in the city). But, yummy as always and great service. read more

Five Guys - a cheeseburger wrapped in aluminum foil - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It's hard to beat five guys. The prices have gone up across all locations but the quality of burgers and fries here remains the same. I just need somebody to tell me why some locations offer milkshakes and others don't and what I have to do to get my local store to offer them. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, short wait in line, maybe 10 people eating in. I imagine it's busier during the week, but took about 10 minutes to get my food. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Five Guys is always going to be a bit more expensive than McDonald's etc but I think it's worth it since the burgers are cooked to order and the fries are amazing. There are some reviews stating that this location skimps on the fries. I ordered a regular size and had the same overflowing the cup into the bag mountain of fries that I've gotten at other locations so I will disagree with the other reviewers on that point. The location itself is clean, wide open layout. If you want to sit along the windows you can get a view of Florida Ave and the train/Metro traffic on the overhead bridge if you're into that. It's a very short walk from the Noma-Gallaudet Metro stop across the street from the Courtyard Marriot. All in all it was a solid experience. I'd come back here with no hesitation. read more

Portions are huge for everything. The little fries is enough for two people. The little bacon cheeseburger is still big enough to fill you especially if you have fries. The regular size bacon cheeseburger will give you heartburn. All toppings are free so get your burger ALL THE WAY (everything in the black) You can get your fries five guys style or Cajun style. If the Cajun seasoning is too excessive for you, ask for the seasoning on the side. Eat peanuts while you wait. Fin. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Five Guys is an upscale version of a fast food chain like McDonalds. They are pretty generous in regards to their portion size, as they give you TWO patties instead of one (at least when you order the cheeseburger). Plenty of free toppings to add to your burger, which I can always appreciate. Fries come out hot every time as they fry them in front of you! The only thing I would say about this place is the wait. I had so many rowdy kids wait inside and honestly got a headache while waiting for my burger. It took way too long for my liking, which is why I'm giving it a 3/5 star. read more

It's no secret that the prices at Five Guys have gone up substantially in recent years. I won't be surprised if/when they change their name to Twenty Guys, because you can easily spend that in here without trying. But business practices aside, this Five Guys is consistently good. The employees are very friendly (albeit flirty), and service is always delivered with a smile and efficiency. My burger is always greasy (the good kind of greasy), fresh and yummy! Inside is clean and open. A great place to forgo your diet plans for the week - because who has time to count calories anyway? read more

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriott across the street and when we saw the Five Guys, we knew we had to come and try. Upon entering, you see a big box of unshelled peanuts on the counter (apparently they are free, but I didn't have any). The place is pretty big, but no one was really eating there. We actually took our food back to our hotel room to eat. My friend and I got the "little" bacon cheeseburger along with one order of large Cajun fries. The large order came with soooo many fries! We couldn't even finish half of it. The burger was also pretty good. The burger tasted yummy, above average. This is a good place to eat if you are staying at the hotel. Quick and easy. read more

The food is great and they give you plenty to eat. When I order French Fries I always get little fries. You always get extra fries with your meal. read more

Yum! Came here with a friend and saw bacon cheeseburgers on the menu and became excited and then saw cajun fries and became extremely excited! When they were filling our bag up with our order, I saw the guy take a big cup (for the large fries) stuck it in the bag and then shoveled up a huge heap of fries and just sort of dumped them into the bag and then proceeded to add a few more shovels full. We ended up eating just half the fries they gave (because they gave us enough for 5 people). I guess we should have read the reviews recommending that we order the regular sized fries. Whoops. The food was good and prices were reasonable. The free peanuts thing is cute but I'm allergic so I don't benefit from those at all haha. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Good Food. Problem for me: They cook the fries in Peanut Oil. So don't take fries there if you're nut allergic read more

The convenience of this location is cool because it's within walking distance of many government office buildings and other establishments. I had a very peculiar incident at this location earlier this week. I came in just to order some fries. I got a Little (small) because the amount I knew I would get was going to pair perfectly with my lunch. When I got my fries, I noticed the bag my fries came was unusually light. I looked inside of the bag and it was just the small cup of fries with a few loose pieces on the bottom. I was missing that second scoop of fries dumped in the bag. It's always been customary for Five Guys to dump the second scoop of fries inside of the bag. This is literally one of the many things why they became famous. I took the bag back to the counter and informed the staff that the amount of fries I received was unacceptable. This had marked the first time in Five Guys history that I received an order of fries without the second scoop. The young lady who assisted in preparing the orders looked inside of the bag and told me that amount of fries inside of the bag was the correct amount of fries I was supposed to receive. I asked to speak with the manager on duty and she informed me that she was a manager, but the other manager who was on duty would basically tell me the same thing. She proceeded to walk over to me holding a small metal container with a few additional fries that she offered to put in my bag. I declined and asked to speak with the other manager instead. If you're wondering why I didn't just accept the fries and keep it moving, the amount of fries she was attempting to give to me still didn't amount to the second scoop. When the manager walked to the counter, I showed him the bag and expressed my displeasure with the amount of fries I received. He offered to prepare me a fresh order of fries. Ironically, when I received the second order of fries, they had the second scoop of fries inside of the bag. I appreciate the manager taking the time to correct the issue, but I'm not sure if this was an issue with the staff messing up the order or if this was an issue where the manager might have instructed his staff to discontinue the second scoop. The prices are already sky high at this location, so I would hate to feel like I'm getting cheated out of something. Just check your order before you leave because many of these local food establishments have been known to skimp on the amount of food you're supposed to get just to stretch their profits and pay for that high rent. read more

The burgers and fries are just outstanding as usual. When I was going to high school around the neighborhood, I would always go there after lacrosse practice. It felt like my own little sanctuary where I can just get a quick bite to eat! read more

Attention: This review is based solely on the fries. I haven't been to Five Guys in ages, since I don't eat burgers and have no desire to touch a hot dog, I would get fries every now and then. This was my first time at this location and it was clean, not busy at 3:00 on a weekday and everyone working there came off as nice. You have the option to eat free peanuts and stare out onto Florida Avenue or look at the many publications that have lauded Five Guys. The fries came and there were a lot of them. They were made to order so they weren't the heavy, regretable kind. They were superb. A perfect portion to share with one other person as a snack. My only issue and it is a minor one--the condiments. I am not the biggest fan of ketchup but I will do it if my only other option is vinegar. Thumbs way down to vinegar fries, even if I tried it wrong. Z-Burger does that right, to make the comparison. 4 Stars for the home team. 2Up 2Down read more

Placed order on line, haven't been since pandemic. Little cheese burgers are NOT worth the almost $10 price, better bigger and less expensive burgers at other burger joints, even McDonalds. Most disappointing were the fries. Ordered regular size at approximately $6.50, I got a little 8 ounce cup of warm fries. NOT worth the price, what happened to all the over flow of fries. I could have purchased 2 bags of frozen fries for the price. Don't waste your $$ or tastebuds! read more

I really don't know what the hype is about 5 Guys. I ordered a little cheeseburger and regular fries during lunch and I was stuffed. I almost passed out from a food coma because that little cheeseburger is not little after all the stuffings. I don't know how I managed to concentrate at work because the meal was extremely heavy. The cheeseburger was good, but it wasn't oozing with beefy goodness that I throught it would be. The regular fries are plentiful and heaping with fat, so order with caution. They are soft and crispy at the same time. The wait for food can take about 10-15 minutes because they make everything fresh to order. It can get crowded here during the lunch rush hours, so tables can become scarce. This place is about a block away from the red line on the METRO, but I suggest walking it off after you just consumed about 2,000 calories. read more

This particular location made me believe that restaurants to deserve a second chance. The first time I ate at 5 Guys at another location, I was determined to never dine there again. I mean, really, who wants to dine with peanut shells all over the floor and a gallon of grease dripping outta their burger?!?!? This location was free of peanut discards. Ah...that means respectable people here...at last! 5 Guys now offer "little" burgers...which is just right for me. Plus, that means less grease...which is just the way I like it. The "boardwalk" fries are still hit or miss. Some fries are cooked to perfection and the others are flaccid...not that I expect them to be stiff. You know what I mean. Anyways...stick with the regular order of fries instead of large because these people like to overload. The fountain drinks were outta sync. I think the syrup was out. The staff were informed but they were unable to solve the problem the entire time my friends and I were lunching there. The location is perfect! Windows all around...meaning when it's sunny outside...bright inside! And plus, just steps from the NY St/Gallaudet Metro. read more

It's Five Guys! Yay Burgers, Yay fries. Huge fries. Large amounts of fries. Salty fries. Juicy double patties of beef. Peanuts to snack on while waiting. Uncrowded because its out of the way and most people still haven't realized it's here! Seriously though. The food is good and it is uncrowded. It's on "2nd Street" but it really seems like an alley. Five Guys is in the lobby level of the ATF building (but the door is to the outside so no security check for customers), facing the empty hulk of a future Courtyard hotel. One block South is the (under construction) Justice/Harris Teeter/Hilton Garden Inn building and the NY Ave Metro entrance. I'm not so sure I'd want to come here after dark, but during the day it is absolutely fine! read more

i ordered a small fry and little burger and the fries aint even cooked all the way barely any salt no flavor the burger is ok Ngl but do better and it ain't worth $18! and i didn't even get a drink.... read more

Great customer service, clean store, and large portions!! Staff was super fast and engaged with customers!

I will have to say when you want a good burger this is the first place I will think about. They have a good quality burger at a good price. The fries are very good, and they make sure you have plenty of them to make sure you are not hungry when you are done. You get what you want on your burger, all you have to do is know exactly what you want when you are there. The staff is very friendly and they are smiling no matter what job they are doing, I have seen the staff member smiling while cleaning the tables, so that to me means they are at least enjoying their job. I have not had a bad experience here and I have enjoy my dinning experience with Five Guys. read more

Food is ok but the person taking my order never greeted me. No hello, may I help you, nothing. Costumer service could use some serious work.

Visited this place a couple times when I use to work across the street at the DOJ building during the Spring of 2011. The burger tasted like something I could replicate at home and they over supply the fries. On a positive note, you do get a lot of bang for your buck. You get a lot of food for what you pay, but the food is "meh." I do like however, that they offer to put A1 on your burger and you can customize said burger sandwich to your heart's desire. What does not make up for this is the blandness of the food. Oh yeah, I haven't tried any of their hotdogs but my co-worker use to order them. I found it odd how they sliced their hotdogs lengthwise in half before placing them on the bun and serving them. read more

I'd heard a lot of positives about this place and being that it is only a block from my apartment I figured it was time to give it a shot. What a waste of 1,000 calories, all the guilt and none of the pleasure. The burger and the fries were sooooooo blah. They obviously believe that monstrous portions can make up for poor taste. Sure, they will give you a huge burger and a mountain (literally) of fries but both your wallet and your digestive system will pay too high a price for the product you receive. I honestly prefer McDonalds and I haven't been there in years. If you're in the mood for some delicious greasy spoon style food hit up Ben's Chili Bowl, not only does it taste good but its not a chain and most importantly they have they best chocolate shakes. Skip it, I wish I had. read more

Can't go wrong with Five Guys, although man, one Five Guys trip goes a LONG way! For about $10 you can get a burger, fries and a drink and you will walk out stuffed! TIP: order the small fries b/c you get a TON even with the small. Their regular burgers are two patties, but if you get a little burger, it is only one, which I think is plenty. You know when you go into a restaurant and they basically server one thing, it's gonna be good and that is the case here! read more

Best Five Guys I've been to. Everything was fresh and tasty, the staff was friendly, and the space is quite clean and well-maintained. Just beware that it is a stop for random neighborhood characters, so there is the off chance that you could be accosted for change or something if you're not careful. read more

What can I say about Five Guys that hasn't already been said. The burgers are delicious albeit INCREDIBLY unhealthy. But lets be real...we are not going to Five Guys expecting a healthy meal. They have a limited menu but what they do, they do really well. This location is always relatively empty so you are able to order and get your food very quickly. On this day, there was a fire alarm sort of system going off and that was not pleasant. I believe that is an issue due to the fact that they are located inside a government building. The staff can be a bit unfriendly at times and the location can be untidy, that is the only reason I took a star off. read more

I had tried Five Guys a couple of ones back home in CA and concluded that the food couldn't compete with In-n-Out. Being in the other side of the country though and closer to Five Guys origins, I gave then another try. Surprisingly, they weren't even as good here as out in CA. Pros: 1. Lots of choices of toppings, all included 2. Spicy fries 3. Unlimited free peanuts, if that is your thing Cons: 1. The burger I practically cold when it comes out 2. I saw them put the bun on the grill and yet it defies heat and is soggy, limp, cold, and falls apart in your hands 3. The music is so loud inside you can barely hold a conversation In the end, it is fast food and is okay, but really is not worth even a small fraction of all the hype it seems to get. read more

Three and a half stars. Best of the fast food options (Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King) near the New York Ave Metro Station. This location is a little larger than the one that Obama ate at down by the Navy Yard, and has windows on two sides. For the uninitiated, Five Guys cooks up fresh burgers, not frozen. Their "Little Burger" (big enough for the average mortal) is really just a regular burger, while their "Famous Burger" is a double burger. Fixings (such as fried onions, mushrooms, etc) are free as are the peanuts, so you can munch while you wait (or you can take some to your table if you're eating in.) They also have kosher hot dogs for those that don't want a burger. When it comes to the potatoes, personally, I'm a fan of the Cajun fries. A small order will do because they always throw in a bunch of extras. Biggest drawbacks? Well, it is fast food after all, so you're not going to get your burger cooked the way you want. Also, I really wish they had milkshakes. read more

I still don't understand the appeal of this place, but it's growing on me. The grilled cheese was good today and the little cheeseburger is great w/ grilled onions, mushrooms, and bbq sauce. As you know, they serve peanuts for free. I love this location bc 1) right off metro 2) in my hood, and 3) a lot of the Gallaudet crowd shows up (makes me want to learn sign language). read more

I probably come here twice a month but this time I noticed $6 for a hotdog!! So I opted for a little bacon burger for a $1 more since I wasn't about to walk back down to 1st St. They have cut down on the fries but I think now it's more the serving size it should have been because I actually finished them. Normally I have too many leftover and never eat all of them unless I'm splitting them with someone else. Not sure if I'll be back. Way too expensive but the employees always seem nice. read more

Five Guys makes a decent burger and fries with fresh ingredients. They have a good variety of burger toppings to choose from. Can't go wrong with them, but at the same time it's nothing to write home about. I come to this particular location once in a while. Two times they've gotten my order wrong, even though my orders are simple without any special requests, but they're always happy to fix it. I wish they would serve real iced tea, not the horrible substance that comes out of a soda fountain. The unlimited free peanuts are a nice touch. read more

I really need to stop going to this place! But its sooo tempting :( Its on my way home right after getting off the metro so I literally walk by it everyday on my way home. You see I hate cooking and its one of the closest fast food joints by my place so its just a case of being lazy. But something has got to be said about their burgers and seasoned fries(mouth watering). Some background info: I discovered Five guys, I want to say about 2 years ago, a buddy of mine(Mark) in Chicago introduced me to it. It was out of my way there so I went very rarely so its still relatively new to me. Now in DC it feels like you cant walk down the street without running into one! My favorite is now the Bacon burger which i discovered only last week...niice. Otherwise nothing too special about the actual restaurant; nice staff, clean, efficient, friendly etc. So I'm not saying go out of your way to go here but if you do, try the bacon burger... delish! :) read more

It took 90 minutes of them to make my burger. Horrible service. No one said a word to me or even tried to help. I will never order from them again. Go somewhere else. read more

I don't know why people compare this place to In N Out. They're so different. I'd have to say it would depend on my mood for which place I'd go to. If you're into burgers, this is a place you must try out. Not this particular Five Guys, but the franchise in general. What makes this place great are the fresh ingredients, and how they cook everything in plain sight. The sacks of potatoes have the dates on them as well as what state they came from. It's a nice touch if you really want to know what you're eating. I've been to Five Guys on several trips out to the DC area. Surprisingly, I've never tried any of their hot dogs. That's one thing I will try next time I'm out there. Well, I hear there is one here on the West Coast now. Time to confirm the rumor. read more

5 Guys makes acceptable burgers. They are thin, so getting it cooked medium is out of the question, but they put enough stuff on it that you get the illusion of juiciness. The fires are the best part. Fresh cut and they serve them by the pound. read more

Might be giving In N Out burger a run for their money but they are both delicious and great in their own way. This is a franchise owned kind of place but its damn good. They use fresh ingredients; the food is cooked right in front of you. The sacks of potatoes have the dates. They have some pretty good hot dogs to.
