Description:
Spreading like wildfire across the East and and Mid-Atlantic Region...it's Five Guys.
A "hamburger" ($4.49) or "cheeseburger" ($5.09) here is by default a double-patty sandwich. If you want a single patty, you'll have to order a "little hamburger" ($3.09) or "little cheeseburger" ($3.69). Bacon is 60¢ extra across the board. All other topping options are provided at no extra cost, but you have to ask for them—otherwise your burger comes naked.
Yes, burgers here, unfortunately, are cooked to well-done as per company policy. While this would seemingly result in a dry puck of a burger, ours, while not dripping with juices, were moist enough. The 3.3-ounce patties are packed moderately loose by hand each morning and are cooked atop a griddle, which, along with the coarse grind, makes for a great crunchy crust. The joint gets the cheese-melt just right, too.
Five Guys was founded in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia, by Janie and Jerry Murrell and their five sons, the "Five Guys." In 2002, there were five locations in Northern Virginia run by the family. The restaurants had gained popularity among locals, and the Murrells decided to franchise the stores. As of March 2007, there were more than 150 locations along the U.S. East Coast from Florida to Connecticut. There are 1,000 more in the building or planning stage. The company claims that each store has a revenue of about one million dollars per year.
