Five Guys Burgers and Fries

I am happy. Can’t see why anyone wouldn’t be with this spot. After paying too much for a bottle of wine next door and being followed around the beauty supply store where they are out of one of the three things that I was looking for (a few doors down) this place provides the perfect comfort food needed to get over the traumitizing events of the neighboring stores. My cheeseburger made me smile, that’s all that matters.

Greenbelt location No Jalapeño for the Second time!
SECOND time this has happen I order grilled jalapeño on my burger SECOND time they were not there. Next time I will drive the extra 5 miles to the Bowie location.

I’ve been to a couple dozen Five Guys in several states and this one, by far, is the absolute WORST! The outside of the restaurant was not properly maintained with trash overflowing to the point that it went up the window of the establishment. I figured that maybe since its the end of the day that they were just waiting until close so I let it go. I should’ve left.
I order my food the same way I always do and proceed to wait (there was one person ahead of me). While I’m waiting I decide to grab some peanuts. Lets start there, they have two locations for peanuts both near the counter. One of which is actually inaccessible when there is a line because it on counter before the registers and next to the wall where people line up to order. The second location is on the side of the soda machine on the floor (the opposite side of counter). I grab some peanuts from the second location and take a seat. I start to eat my peanuts only to discover they are completely stale. I mean, like all of them are super crunchy and dark brown inside. Do you know how long it take for peanuts to go bad? Do you? Months… I love peanuts though so like the dedicated stan for them I am I finagle my way to first location in that awkward place in front of the line only to return to my seat with MORE stale peanuts! Like, seriously?
So finally, my food is ready and I proceed back to my table to load up the few good peanuts I had in my container when one of the worker kicking some type of dirty carpet thing across the floor that I can’t take my peanuts!!! Now in fairness to them, I know what the company said about taking peanuts out the store. But never… NEVER in my years of being a patron of the franchise have I been denied the opportunity to take my peanuts home! Peanuts are 50% of the reason I even go to Five Guys. That being said I’m like screw it and leave so I can get back to watching college football.
Here is where the story SHOULD end. But noooooooo… They just won’t let me be great even post patronage. After finishing my 15 – 18 minute drive back to my residence only bite into the DRIEST, SKIMPIEST, struggle cheese having, tough pieces of meat between two pieces of cardboard. I am LIVID! Never again will I step foot in the parking lot of that shopping center, let alone that poorly run establishment.
Avoid this business at all costs! It was bad enough to make me write my first ever Unilocal review.

I would’ve given this establishment 5’s but the fact that the grease on those scrumptious burgers is NO BUENO for ones health I had to hold back LOL!
Other than that great food, friendly staff and pleasant environment. Good place to eat on those CHEAT DAYS from ones diet!

The best burgers in the area. And the French fries are INCREDIBLE. Lots of seats and tables, and the service is fast and efficient. I recommend the bacon cheeseburger and a large fries for a really satisfying meal.
This place has the best French fries in the Washington are. Bring a big appetite, because the burgers are huge and delicious. You can’t go wrong at Five Guys!

This location is garbage. I’ve gone there twice now. Both times the burgers were terrible. They didn’t even get my order right this time. I’ve been to several other locations with no issues. I’d rather have gotten McDonald’s and I’ll only go there as a last resort for food!

one of the best burgers I have tasted. the customer service is exceptional and it’s a clean environment every time I go there.

It was my first time eating at this restaurant and I have to say that the burger is the best! The fries were so good that I couldn’t stop stuffing my mouth! I live in another state, but I will always remember the first time I had Five Guys, especially in Maryland! The service was fantastic and fabulous! They were so nice especially the girl who took our order, always having a smile on her face! This restaurant broke my scale! (:

If your looking to lose weight… don’t go here, very oily and fattening… and I love it great five guys its clean and it does what its supposed to; fill me up.

Why is it always so cold in here!

Definitely the place to go if you want the perfect burger. The burgers are delicious and the perfect size. Ordering a side of fries is a must if you have atleast one other person to share with. The portion of fries is huge and way more than one person needs, they are on the greasy side but still delicious. The burgers couldn’t get any better. This location is almost always nearly empty since it caters to more of a carryout crowd. I also really like the complimentary peanuts by the door, keeps you busy while waiting for your order.

Best fries!
They take their fries so seriously that they write the variety and origin of the spuds on a white board every day.
My companion had a cheese burger and reported that it was very good.
Fast, friendly, and clean.
At noon, this place is geek central because NASA is just across the road.

Probably the closest you will come to getting a decent burger around here in a fast food venue. Hand shaped burgers, all the toppings you can think of — and the fries are good and plenty. While you wait for your burger, if you are hungry, they have peanuts at this location by the door.

Well, if greasy burgers and fries are your thing, this place hits the spot. The burgers are hand shaped from their special beef. There are tons of toppings at no addtional charge to choose from. Very similar to In-​N-​Out in California.
Fountain drinks, mimimal decorations, regular tables. You go for the burgers. Also, have hot dogs.
Price is right for a burger lunch.

Eh, I just don’t get this. The fries were great, yes, but taste just like every other fresh-​cut fry, honestly.
The burger was really greasy and tasted sweet. It didn’t really seem like the patty was seasoned.
I’d go back and try a single cheeseburger without onions, but I wouldn’t rush to go there.

We have to go there! Where I asked? Five Guys was my friend’s reply. I’d heard about Five Guys from Kevin L. who thinks Five Guys is better than the West Coast’s In-​N-​Out Burgers. My vote is still for In-​N-​Out, but I’ll gladly eat at Five Guys when in the DC area.
Five guys does have many more toppings for their burgers. I was a bit surprised by there being two patties when I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. I was also surprised at the size for «regular» for french fries. It was huge!
Prices are very reasonable. My friend and I both waddled out after eating our fries and burgers. As a token to too many calories, I had diet Coke to appease my guilt.

Way better than McDonald’s, which isn’t saying much, but if I want a quick burger I’ll duck in here any day. I’m not a fan of the fries here, they’re hit or miss. The portions are ridiculous, I have to share my order of small fries every time since all they do is fill a paper bag with fries and call it a small. Oh, and for first timers, a regular burger has two patties, the little burgers have one.

Offering one of the best burgers off of 193/​University Blvd/​Greenbelt Rd, these Five Guys stomp on the Burger King’s crown, mess up Ronald’s mascara and pull out Wendy’s weave. The menu here is simple: burgers, hot dogs, and fries. You can add bacon or cheese to your burger or dog for about $ 0.50 each and all the toppings are free — I usually get a bacon burger all the way with hot sauce, jalapenos and green peppers ($ 4.79). For my usual long review check out
As far as this location, there are several things to report.
1) they do take Mastercard and Visa
2) there were no peanuts the 3 times I’ve gone, hence the fifth guy doesn’t get his star. And, no, I didn’t go 3 times in a week.
3) this Five Guys resembles a Chipotle as far as the diversity of their workforce (or lack thereof)
4) I ‘m not a fan of the way the employees do the fries here. They simply put a cup in a paper bag and put 2 scoops of fries in, which isn’t as dramatic as when they fill up the cup, place it in the bag, and dump a bunch more in the bag.
5) get in before 12:30 b/​c the lunch rush can get rather intense. Combined with the long wait times for the food (5 – 15 minutes), this may be a problem for those looking for a quick lunch.
11am-​10pm daily.

Great burgers. Definitely the place to go if you’re looking for a greasy heart attack on the bun. This place isn’t much of a sit down restaurant. It’s a big fast food joint, but it’s well worth it. Don’t expect much better service than if you went to McDonald’s.

oh man, what can I say about this place? it’s ridiculous how good it is. It makes you wanna go behind the counter and totally make out with the cook for like 20 minutes as a thank you for the food. The only reason I decided to try it out was because I had seen on the Food Network that it was labeled in the Top 5 burger joints in America. So I figured it must be good. That was a SERIOUS understatement. However it is true. One bite of their «regular» cheeseburger, and your heart rate will slow down a little bit. It’s not a place to go everyday.
Always in moderation. But a sweet temptation it is!
