Five Guys Burger and Fries (East Coast)

If you enjoy a good burger and fries, then you may be interested in trying the ultimate burger and fries. Five Guys Burger and Fries has a pretty simple menu...it's right there in the name...burger and fries. Okay, they also have hot dogs, drinks and free peanuts. But basically, the menu is about the burger. I have compiled a list of the top five reasons to visit five guys, as follows:

Reason Number One
Idaho Potatoes are stacked up in fifty pound bags all over the store. These potatoes will be the french fries that you eat...eventually. They cut their fries inside the store and fry them up fresh. No frozen potato by-product. No preservatives. Just fresh french fries. They need the bags and bags of potatoes to keep up with the demand. When you order...if there are two of you...just share one large order of fries. The large order comes in a 24 ounce styrofoam cup, placed inside a paperbag, and then overfilled by about that size again. That is a LOT of french fries. You have a choice of ketchup or vinegar on your fries...the vinegar gives you a "State Fair" feel...I like it.

Reason Number Two
Peanuts. Okay, so what...they have free peanuts...plenty of places have done that in the past. True...but how many burger joints do it. The free peanuts are nice to nosh on while you are waiting for your fresh burger and fries to get cooked up. It gives the restaurant a fun atmosphere. It is an atmosphere that welcomes the kids, without having a three-tiered jungle gym, or kids meal specials. The peanuts are help yourself in large fifty gallon wooden barrels. It is almost a contrast to the otherwise clean and shiny image that Five Guys projects.
