Five Guys - Potomac

This is a decent location for Five Guys conveniently located in Potomac shopping area. The restaurant is cozy and does have a few tables near the entrance for outdoor seating. The location is also busy during meal times and are open until 10 PM on most days. The staff is friendly too and helps you with the order if needed. Service is quick too and we have been able to get the food within 5 minutes. They do give you a hard time on getting more napkins for some reason! The food is good like other Five Guys. There is also a sack of peanuts waiting by the ordering counter that guests can dig in to while waiting for the food to arrive. It's always fun to crack open peanut shells and make a mess when you do not have to do the cleanup later! Our go to items are of course the burger (with cheese, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms , hot dog, and fries gotta have them while they are hot! The sauce on the burger is good too. Reminds me of In and Out burgers! And two patties in the burger are better than one : A nice place for greasy fast food when in the mood. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, specially during the weekends.

I've always like 5 guys. I hate there fries so then I ask cook them longer

The burgers and fries were both delicious. The service was quick, and the staff were very friendly.

I remember when they only had that little storefront in Arlington. They serve the best fast food burgers around, and their fries are absolutely amazing. When you visit, I recommend asking them not to press the burgers down on the grill while cooking. Flattening the burgers speeds up the cooking process, but it can turn them into hockey pucks. That’s my only complaint. It seems like they started squashing the burgers more after their expansion, when one of the brothers who kept an eye on quality control stopped being involved.

The service was fast and efficient. There was plenty of parking available in the lot, and it wasn't crowded, even on a Wednesday.
