Five Guys

Five Guys may have exploded on to the national scene over the last few years, but D.C. is where the chain got its start. With their mammoth burgers, stacked high with every topping imaginable at no extra cost, and fresh cut fries (available spiced up Cajun-style), there’s little doubt as to why you’ll always find a line at Five Guys. Most locations even offer free shelled peanuts to keep you busy and whet your appetite while you await greasy goodness.
