🚨 You need to know
Alexandria-based burger chain Five Guys is perhaps best known for their delicious Cajun-style fries and customizable burgers and sandwiches (vegan options are a little lacking, but that’s a soapbox for another time), but the restaurant also has a new top ranking: most expensive fast food burger.
Dining website Delish ranked the most expensive fast food burgers in America with Five Guys taking the top spot above Burger King and Shake Shack. The ranking was based on menus of over 15 fast food restaurants in the Los Angeles area and based the rankings on the most run-of-the-mill, classic burger.
According to Delish:
The restaurant’s classic cheeseburger (which features American-style cheese melted over fresh patties and sandwiched between a toasted sesame bun) is $12.89.
While my wallet probably hates to hear it, I’m suddenly craving a Five Guys cheeseburger.
Five Guys moved its corporate headquarters to Alexandria in 2022. The chain has three locations around the city and started just up the road in Arlington in 1986.
