It is amazing how 5 Guys grew so big. They were just a small store in Virginia that the locals loved - famous for their french fries. The Washingtonian Magazine had them rated #1 for years in row for the best hamburger in the DC area. I was there a few times back when I lived in Maryland. We were very surprised to find one here in The Villages.

The burgers are delicious and the toppings are great. Always freshly made. I do not have any negatives about them at all. The stores are always clean, good service, and great tasting food.

Go 5 Guys!

We finally went there and found it to be an overpriced Burger King.

The only good thing were the fries.

Don't know what's taking so long for them to open up in Brownwood. Each week the report is that interior design is pending. You would think they would be opening up more venues in Brownwood as it's been quite awhile since City Fire opened. Although I did notice that the beer place looked close to opening.

P.S. Love the fries and burgers

I thought that someone posted a couple of weeks ago that World of Beer at Brownwood is opening sometime in the first week of September, which would be next week.

5 Guys a "best" burger? Really? Average at best in my opinion... They make a nice "salad" (the toppings), but the burger, the meat, leaves a lot to be desired.

They are way overpriced. If you want a great cheeseburger and fries, you can't beat Chi's Grill.

I would have to say that their fries are awesome. The burgers are OK.

5 guys is good although we went to Johnny Rockets at SL for the first time ever and was very surprised at how good the burger was. It good to have choices in getting a good burger.

We like Five Guys burgers. For not being angus beef, their burgers are pretty tasty. The peanuts are an interesting item to go along with the meal.

We've had their hot dogs before, too. They split them and then cook them on the grill. Tasty...........but kinda pricey for a hot dog!

Everyone misses the best thing on the menu, the hot dog. It is split and grilled, I get mine "Chicago" style (or close to it) tomatoes, onions, mustard, pickles and jalapeno peppers. When we went to the original one in VA we used to get the hamburgers, now we only get the hot dogs.
