Five Guys

Five Guys burgers is one of my favorite fast food restaurants and defiantly one of my favorite burgers. I was introduced to Five Guys by a good friend who lives in DC and while in Baltimore MD I finally got the chance to try Five Guys and I was highly impressed. It's to the point now, whenever I see a Five Guys I have to stop, rather I am hungry or not, I am stopping for a burger.

The atmosphere of the place is simple, it's a burger joint. Don't like burgers, well they offer hot dogs and grilled cheese, don't like those options? Well then you better find somewhere else to go.

Let's start with the french fries!

First off, you get a TON of fries. This size is there regular, but what you may not know with Five Guys is they also fill up your brown bag with fries. Seriously, there are so many extra fries in the bag, you have to dig through them to find your burger. As you can tell the fries are freshly cut and cooked on the spot. There is no frozen items in this place!

Now if you are going to go to a burger place, what more do you want then a Burger?

This is what you get. A great, simple, true American burger! This thing is fantastic. Size wise, may not be your largest burger but the taste will simply blow you away. This is what I think of when I think of a burger.

For my first visit, I elected to get my burger plane so I could get a good taste of the burger itself and I approved. The taste was great and it was everything you could want from a burger.


I really do not know what more to say about this place other then it is the best burger you will find. Five Guys does some very unique things such as: Telling all the customers where there potatoes were grown that day and they also advertise that nothing in the place is ever frozen. Sounds good to me!

I am currently counting the days down until Five Guys finally makes its way to my local area of Tallahassee Fl. We are getting one location for sure and possibly a second. As of recent, the coming soon sign is up and that is enough to get me excited about this place. This place ranks way up there on my list of great restaurants and may take the cake when it comes to best fast food/burger place.



For the Urban Tallahassee Readers, a few notes:
-Burger, Fries, and a drink is roughly $11.00.
-Size of burger is not overwhelming, but the regular size with fries is a great meal. (Smaller then a Whataburger but larger than a Backyard Burger)
-The Burgers come in 2 sizes. A single, which they call the Little Burger, and the double which they simply call there cheeseburger.
-Five Guys offers numerous toppings for the burger which are all free with the exception of bacon. There are something like 14 options to add, or close to it.
-Fries come in 2 sizes, regular and large. Also available in Cajun.
