The holidays brought lots of cooking and baking for holiday guests and celebrations. Now the cook(s) need a day off. Your nearest Five Guys restaurant will provide you with a quick, inexpensive and delicious meal of those good old American standards of hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries.
Five Guys Restaurant is known as a fast casual restaurant as opposed to your typical fast food place. Fast-Casual restaurants typically offer higher quality food at a slightly higher price level. The difference is made-to-order, fresh cooked food.
The restaurant founders, Janie and Jerry Murrell, began Five Guys in Virginia in 1986. The name "Five Guys" comes from the couples' five sons, Jim, Matt, Chad, Ben and Tyler, who are all involved in the restaurant chain that today includes over 1,000 restaurants throughout the United States and Canada with more than 1500 more planned. Since 2013, several have opened overseas in England, the Middle East and Europe.
The Five Guys menu is simple and centers on hamburgers (offered with American cheese or bacon), kosher style hot dogs, grilled cheese and vegetable sandwiches.
Five Guys uses buns that are sweeter and "eggier" than normal buns.
Fresh-cut French fries are the sole side item, available "salted only" (in Five Guys style) or seasoned "Cajun style".
The burgers are available as 'single' or 'double' with 15 fresh toppings to choose from. The toppings are available at no extra charge and you can have as many or as few as you want. My favorite is a single burger with mayo and tomato slices.
Five Guys also features Milkshakes in a variety of flavors!
Complimentary roasted in-shell peanuts are offered for on-site consumption while you wait for your order. Signage is provided alerting customers who may have a peanut allergy.
A Five Guys restaurant typically consists of red-and-white checkered decorations, open kitchens, a single counter for purchasing and picking up food, and tables and chairs for customers.
Five Guys has won numerous awards over the years and signs are posted showing some of them.
So, take a well-deserved break from your kitchen and pick up dinner tonight from Five Guys! My closest one is just 2.4 miles away!
Teenage boys like nothing better than food, so for Christmas for my three teen grandsons I sent Five Guys Gift Certificates. They love Five Guys Burgers as much as I do. These gift cards work equally as well as birthday gifts.
Pick up a gift card at your local Five Guys while you are waiting for your order. Or grab a gift card online at the Five Guys website and send either a physical card or an eGift Card to your favorite Five Guys fan!
Get the Five Guys App for Android phones and place your order in a minute! The app is free to download and is a very handy way to have your order ready when you arrive at your favorite Five Guys restaurant!
Happy Eating!
