Is this the Fontaine in Old Town Alexandria? If so, I agree. Their mussels and frites is so good.

I have literally no idea why so many people like 5 Guys fries.

Sure, you get 5lbs of them per order but they're ALWAYS limp, soggy, greasy, and severely oversalted.

Pollo Rico in Arlington, the ones you get as a side with the Peruvian chicken. Get the cole slaw as well and dip the fries in the cole slaw.

Also now in Woodbridge and just as good

The crispy home fries served with breakfast orders at Silver Diner are delish.

Agreed. I feel like 5 Guys fries is definitely a quantity over quality thing.
