Everytime I have had the displeasure of eating there the burgers have been very plain tasting, not worth the price IMO.

I like them, but I can only eat about one a year, if that, because I just feel like total crap afterwards.

We just got one here. It is GREAT. I can only eat a burger. If you "have fries with that", it's too much.

The one in by Innsbrook. I'm not that picky to please either. All I want on my burgers is, meat, cheese, bacon and some ketchup. Everytime I have ordered 1) the order came wrong and 2) it tasted just like a burger from McD's/Burger King |

+1 I think they're over-rated, and I'm not difficult to please, either. I've tried them, but never had a decent burger at one. |

I love that place, the cajun fries are awesome.
Another place to go is Malbon Bros, and get a "Boss Hog". That makes me feel like I ate a brick. |

Over rated and overpriced. They just mask the burger with a bunch of toppings, rather than make the meat taste good in itself

The 5 guys in Lynchburg and hte one in Chesterfield are really good. I've never eaten at teh NOVA ones, but it's nice to have a "real" hamburger as opposed to a "fast food" one...

Have never had the chance to try them out. I've heard that they're good, but the oppurtunity has never
presented itself to give it a try. I used to drive past the one in Alexandria, but that was always on my way home, fighting traffic. There's one in Herndon, but I never seemed to remember it was there when choosing somewhere to eat. Fuddruckers is good, but I still cringe when it's time to pay the bill. Good, but I'm not convinced that it's worth all that for a burger, thus I don't eat there very often. I'd give Five Guys a try when I get the chance, just to give it a fair shake. If it's not up to par, I won't go back. |

Eaten at several Five Guys, and they are way way overrated. The burgers are good, but way too expensive. Doesnt even come close to a burger bought at a Wendy's or especially one cooked at home.

I love Five Guys burgers and eat that after every Shooters Paradise USPSA, IDPA, ICORE and 3 gun match I shoot over there. Fuddruckers are nice too but too damn big and too slow of service, usually I'm in a hurry. YMMV.

Another reason to like the Woodbridge store?
They are Open-Carry friendly and they have been good friends to the Shooters Paradise community. Examples: the Intro to USPSA/IDPA class usually has dinner there after every class session. There was also a 5Guys get-together after the public SIG Shoot held down at Shooters last month. They just opened another store: this one is in Arlington on Wilson between Clarendon and Court House. Good people in my book. |

There's a Five Guys on Minieville/PW Parkway now, too. Not far from a Cheeseburgers in Paradise. Just a stone's throw from Fuddruckers. A Carabbas just around the corner. Quantico Arms Potomac Mills store is within .5 miles.
I think I'm going to die fat and broke. |

The one in Charlottesville is pretty good. They're adding two more of them locally. I get a burger that costs $5 with no tip,and I can have lots of good toppings with it rather than the usual ketchup/pickles/mustard/tomato/lettuce/onion that local burger joints have.
I don't know what they cost in NoVa,but down here $5 is about on par with most of the local hamburger chain's larger burgers (usually $3.50-$4.50 for a quarter pound burger with a squashed bun and crappy toppings). |

+1 I tried the burger's and fries when the had the store at columbia pike and glebe rd and from there RT 7/waltereed location and havent been back since. If you want a good burger for your $$$$ go to Mario's pizza house. |

Granted, it’s not in the same league as a fancy sit down restaurant.
And I have to agree that the meat is a bit bland. Still, for $5.86 in the Chantilly Fiveguys I can get a burger (w/o cheese), drink, and a pocketfull of peanuts. (The fries are good, but just too much to eat.) It’s a better meal than what you get at Burger King or such and it’s really not that much more expensive. |

I love Five Guys. My home town is Alexandria, so I'm near one no matter which side of town I'm on!
There are a lot of them now. Not just in northern VA. The closest to where I sit now is 5 min walk. |

The one in chesterfield is one of my favorite burger spots.
I haven't tried anywhere else... if you get the single patty, small fries, and a drink, you're out of there for about what it costs at a McD's these days. |
