If you aren't interested in new restaurants why would you click on the link. Yes it is exciting because if your like me, a foodie, then you like to experience new foods. Personally I enjoy ethnic foods so I would be excited for a new Indian restaurant near by. Also some places have different places to eat, for example we dont have eat n park, boston beanery, qdoba places I really enjoy. I actually enjoy eating, it keeps me from drinkin

So since Northern Virginia has gifted you a Five Guys, when will I get a DP Dough within a short, drunk walk of my house here?

Just a word of advice, their "miniburger" is the size of a normal burger while their "burger" is two patties. They cook their food fresh so it isn't sitting in grease all day like at McDonalds. They are expensive though (usually between $10-12 just for a burger, fries and a drink). I am surprised that it has taken them this long to open the one in Morgantown up, they have been spreading like wildfire in the burbs of Pittsburgh

The closest one to me is in College Park, MD, which is not a place you want to do a drunk night walk to...

Fyi I ate at the 5 guys in jefferson co, it was ok but dont get your hopes up. I thought it would have a bigger variety ie blue cheese burger or something to that affect. I also didn't see where the burgers were huge. I got a bacon cheeseburger and it was about the size of a double qtr pounder from mcds, so big but not anything special. It was good, but no better then a mcd burger. They try to make you feel like it is better by putting up advertisements of their achievements. I dont think it cost 10 to 12 as previously mentioned maybe with large fry and large drink included, but I think the burger I got with bacon was 4.99 or somethin. I did think the fries were good they have cajun fries and provide vinegar, kind of reminded me of boardwalk fries from oceancity. So if you want an all around good burger this is a good choice, but its far from the best burger.

Agree pretty much exactly with boycewv above. I mean, it's fine and all, but it's not like it's even a real restaurant -- i.e., no waiters, it's a chain, etc.

Decent burgers & dogs & good fries, as mentioned. OK prices -- not great but not bad. The one in Jeff. County (Charles Town, I guess it is) has a good vibe, employees seem happy (relatively speaking), we have fun there. Satellite radio Classic Rewind lets the good times roll.

So it's good stuff, just have modest expectations. i.e., "Wait for 5 Guys Almost Over" is waaaaay too breathless.
