We just got a Five Guys on Long Island - I didn't realize it was a chain in other states until now! To me, the french fries are the best part - crispy, warm and just delicious. I had one of the smaller burgers, and it was definitely really good. It's a good alternative to getting a burger at a real fast-food place because these are made to order and they seem to be of better quality.

I was suspicious about all of the hype about these burgers when I tried one in Sicklerville, NJ, but I've got to say that was the best dang burger I've had in a really long time. Fries were the big surprise, they were perfect! I watched some poor guy actually making the fries through an open kitchen door while I waited, he put a potato in this lever contraption and pulled the handle to one side (with all of his weight) and fries came out...nothing motorized, nothing frozen, just potato. Superb!

Good burger, but I was not overwhelmed by it. I had heard so many good things from other people before I went to Five Guys, that I was expecting something extraordinary, but merely got something that was just good. My idea of fast food isn't cooked to order, so I don't know if Five Guys truly fits the Fast Food category. I'll go back again when I'm in the mood for a burger, but its not a convenient stop like a drive-through, nor is it something that I am absolutely in love with.

Seriously, the best burger in the biz. Johnny Rocket's gets best overall menu/experience but if you just want a great burger...this is the place.

We go the the one in Springfield and the one near MCI Center the most- with all the expansion I think they have lost the touch on the burgers- I have seen the cooks now pat the burgers (which they claimed that they never would). The fries make up for it some but they have slipped a notch. A better burger is at Uno

simply the best fast food burger i've ever eaten. if you're going to try one, be advised, the regular burger is actually a double, and the "little" burger is a single. they cook 'em when you order and put on only what you tell them to. Also, don't order a large fry unless you have about 3 friends to share them with. A small is plenty, and they always put an extra scoop in the bag. They're a tad bit pricey, but to have a burger that's so good for the same amount of time i'd spend at mcdonalds, it's worth it. oh, and if you're like me, just be able to get home quick... ;-)

Heard of Five Guys on the Internet, and found one just around the corner from my hotel on a visit to Washington, DC. It was love at first bite; didn't even consider looking for any other burger joint during my stay there. Burgers were fresh and hot, and I made the mistake of ordering a large fry (couldn't finish them). One has opened in my hometown, and I really hope they keep to the "formula"

Pricey but worth it for a better burger than any of the fast food chains, plus they make it fresh with any toppings that you want for free. The large burger is easily a meal in itself and I get stuffed.

Flat out the best fast food burger I've ever had. It's a little deceptive to think of this place as fast food - all the burgers are made to order, and a (big) burger, fries, and a coke will run you $9 or so.

But it's worth it if you appreciate a good burger. There are a variety of free toppings - jalapenos, mushrooms, fried onions, etc.

Randomly, the night after I had my first Five Guys burger, I was talking to guy I went to school who was now running about 20 off the Five Guys franchises.

I was blown away by the level of detail that this restaurant goes to in terms of strategy. They only serve burgers and fries because their philosophy is that if they can't be the best, they're not going to do it. They leave sacks of Idaho potatoes around the store (not in the kitchen) so customers can see the food is fresh. Each batch of fries must be shaken 15 times to get the grease off. They bake their own bread.

This restaurant could be a force to be reckoned with...

Now in New England as well. The fries are done in peanut oil...that is reason enough.

Good place..hopefully other burger joints will follow with this concept...freshly made with fresh ingredients.

burgers are fine, toppings are great, but the fries . . . .not enough salt put on them, to damn greasy. i can't count the number of times my bag has fallen apart before i got home on my hands and feet ! ! !

Virginia/DC/MD/Delaware FINALLY has its own In and Out! These burgers are FANTASTIC, and only a dollar or so more than McDonalds. Their regular burger is the size of a McDonald's BIG MAC!
Like In and Out, the selections are limited: Hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon cheese and they do have a beef hot dog. But numerous toppings to choose from, GREAT FRIES (cooked in peanut oil) and free peanuts to chomp on while you're waiting.
