Default Five Guys

...Located in the Bed Bath and Beyond shopping plaza. Everything seems so fresh and the burgers are great. Their large order of fries is enough for four people...and I really mean that. Here is another place that offers peanuts in the shell...as much as you like. Great place for lunch.

I found the menu to be a little confusing. The regular burger is a double patty, and the baby (I think that was the name) is a single patty. So, the baby burger is realy a regular, a regular is a double and I think they have a tripple but I forget the name. The burgers were good, as were the fries, but it was almost $20 for two.

We eat at 5 Guys often and have never been disappointed. Had lunch there today and 2 single patty burgers and fries was only $10. Plus all the peanuts we could eat. We were only able to eat less than half of the fries because they give you so much. Hard to believe you could spend $20 for two.

Default That's a lot of food!

Sounds like I could share my "regular" burger plate with five of my closest friends.

We have been there a couple of times and were very impressed. I like the way they trained their help, too.

They have great burgers and fries, without a doubt. The first time we went was shortly after they opened. Standing in line in front of us was a lady who had eaten at other 5Guys and she explained to us that a "small" or whatever it is called , for each of us would be enough. She also said to only get one order of fries. Boy was she right. We ate and ate and even brought fries home. They're great reheated in a toaster oven.

Just finished wading through the thread on burger recommendations that ended 9/09...now, being almost a year older (better) and wiser and in light of ongoing changes in local eateries, any updates on where NOW to find the best burgers around TV. Krystal burgers & White Castle...holy cow ...only the morning after a serious bender...please!

We've become 5 guys addicts and have an self-imposed limit of 1 visit every 2 weeks. Good thing they don't serve there!

Long Horn has great burgers, and you have a choice of many sides, including baked potato or sweet potato.

Wow. We have a new Five Guys in West Chester, Ohio. Will have to try their burgers now that I have read rave reviews.

I love that old line about pay you Tuesday.

Can definitely picture Wimpy standing at the 5 Guys counter...negotiating a burger transaction.

Recently back visiting my hometown (Worcester, MA.) where a 5 Guys had opened since we left MA, about 8 months ago. Didn't get to stop in and check it out...but my family has visited & was also raving about it too Gotta like the raves!
