Anyone ever eat at 5 Guys?

They finally invaded my neighborhood. There's another a few miles away but we were rarely in that area. So far 2 weekends in a row we've eaten there. Love their burgers and nuts while waiting is a great touch.

Maybe I should post this in Ramblings for some colorful answers.

I love that too. A regular fry is a cup of fries but then they're like it fuck it and give you another scoop in a bag.

They have been in my area for about a year and yes they are best in my area.

There have been several threads about them already in ramblings

I made my parents go with me when I was down between semesters and it was great, not too expensive either. We didnt realize the whole fry thing and bought a large fry needless to say me and my father could not finish it. The bacon double cheeseburger is to die for...literally with all the grease and shit but its sooo good

What sucks is that they're right next to my Costco which I frequent a lot. The smell is tantalizing.

Not bad. The double bacon cheeseburger was good.
The decor was In n Out wannabe, but the fries were good and the burgers were OK. As I am in TX, this is the best since there is no White Castle or In n Out.

Anyone ever tried the Cajun Fries there? I've had Cajun Fries at other restaurants and they have been great.

I tried the cajun fries. All it is, is that they add powder to the fries. I had it on the side and dipped my fries in it. It's ok but I prefer the regular normal tasting ones. It's decent if you feel like mixing it up.

They're all over the DC Metro area. Everywhere. Good stuff but I don't know if they're the "BEST burgers evar!"

I think Red Robin makes a better burger.

The UX guys in my group bring it in a least twice a week. The smell of the fries is damn tempting.
