I have not tried Five Guys, but have heard very very good things about their burgers. I'm looking forward to trying them!

Five Guys has unbelieveably tasty burgers! Somehow the mishmash of everything you can think of on an a symmetrical mound of fresh ground beef is heavenly! OH! and you CAN'T go without their fries!!!
Bit o' history (or popular lore):
Five Guys started in DC several years ago when a father approached his sons with an option to invest money that they had recieved. The boys decided they wanted to use the money to open up a burger joint- and there it is! -
Subject: good stuff
Ate there last week.....it was really good. they are still working out the kinks service-wise, but the burger (and especially the fries) were delicious -
JOINT IS 169% OFF THE HIZZY!
BEST BURGERS FOR MILES, PLUS DEM FRIES ARE TOP KNOTCH (SAME AS THRASHERS FRIES FOR THOSE OF US WITH MADD D.C. KNOWLEDGE)
DEF. THE NEW HEIGHTS HOTTNESS. NOTE TO NON-FAT PEOPLE: A "REGULAR" BURGER IS ACTUALLY TWO PATTIES. YOU WANT NORMAL ORDER A SMALL ONE.

If that's not a winning endorsement, I don't know what is...

Five Guys burgers are great. We tried them last night. French fries were cooked to perfection. Will definitely become a mainstay in this house.

Subject: They should deliver!!!!
I just tried the place out. First off, they must have about 9 people behind the counter. It seemed like they were all training because the girl on the grill was the only one working and instructing the rest of the crew. There was an Asian guy who stood staring at 4 burgers for 2 minutes and 43 seconds (I timed him) without touching them. I'm still trying to figure out how the other 8 employees could ignore the orders that were not going out. Mine was one of them and all it needed was BBQ sauce and to be wrapped up. OK, I understand they just opened so I will let this go. As far as the taste, the burger was OK (all burgers are cooked well), nothing to write home about. The fries were very good. I think that Henry Street Ale House has a better tasting burger (you can get it cooked the way you want it also), and their fries are almost as good but not as crispy as Five Guys. They should really consider delivering. I will try them again. They seem like a clean operation. -
I grew up eating at the original Five Guys in Springfield,VA right outside Washington, DC. They are basically thought of as the only place to eat burgers in the entire DC metro area. Five Guys started franchising about 3-4 years ago and the franchise has pretty much covered the U.S. in such a short time. This will be the best burger you have ever had. Hands down. Also try a grilled cheese w/ all the veggies...AMAZING...
