Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is an American multinational fast-casual restaurant chain renowned for its high-quality burgers, hot dogs, and hand-cut fries. Founded in 1986 by Jerry and Janie Murrell in Arlington, Virginia, the company has grown from a single location to over 1,700 establishments worldwide.

The Five Guys menu is centered around customizable burgers and hot dogs. Customers can choose from 15 free toppings, allowing for over 250,000 possible combinations. The burgers come in two sizes: regular (two patties) and little (one patty).

Hot dogs are made with Hebrew National all-beef franks. The menu also features grilled cheese, BLT, and vegetable sandwiches. Fries are hand-cut daily from fresh potatoes and cooked in 100% peanut oil, offered in "Five Guys style" or seasoned "Cajun style." Complimentary roasted in-shell peanuts are available at most locations for on-site consumption.

In 2014, Five Guys expanded its offerings to include milkshakes. These are available in traditional flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, with the option to add up to 10 free mix-ins such as Oreo cookies or bacon.
