FIVE GUYS Burgers and Fries

www.fiveguys.com The Five Guys experience is a must for anyone who enjoys a good burger. From the pleasant staff, to the air of relaxation, to that extra “bang for your buck” (as one newspaper says) it is a good place with excellent food. That is the reason why FIVE GUYS has won numerous “Best Burger” & “Best French Fries” awards from around the TRIANGLE. There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys. All toppings are free, including grilled mushrooms. If you want your onions sautéed, they’ll do that too.

They use only fresh ground beef. There are no freezers in Five Guys locations. Nothing is ever frozen. And no burger is complete without FIVE GUYS french fries. They are cut fresh twice daily from IDAHO #2 potatoes; served hot and fresh [never cooked ahead of time] and served either regular or Cajun style in huge portions... enough to share. So if you’re a burger fan and you haven’t hit up Five Guys, you must do it now.
