No we really don't :(. 5 guys' home, northern VA, is a chain food mecca. Anything that is able to escape the chain food feel becomes wildly popular.
A key reason for their success is this ability to retain the local burger feeling, while still being able to franchise quickly.
- mattrepl 17y agoNoVA and the DC metro area is huge, we have lots of restaurants. Yes, some are chains, but there are a ton of awesome local places as well. I cringe when you suggest there are no good, local places to eat here. Yelp is decent for finding some of them. I actually like Five Guys, their Cajun-seasoned fries are amazing. There's also Ray's Hell-Burger, Foster's Grille, Tuskie's (amazing lamb burger), and others in Alexandria, Arlington, and DC.
