| - Five guys is like the Chipotle of hamburgers. It's delicious, it's good quality, you choose all your toppings, and it's fast.
I like Five Guys better than I like McDonald's hamburgers. I find them to be more filling and the toppings remind me of what I would put on at home - ketchup, mayo, fresh white onion, lettuce, tomato. The options are greater than just those & include A-1, jalapeƱos, grilled onions, relish, hot sauce, and more.
Five Guys also has Veggie Sandwiches and Grilled Cheeses for those of you who don't care for the meat. A word to the wise - if you have ANY sort of peanut allergy - don't go to a Five Guys! Their fries are cooked in peanut oil and they serve open containers of peanuts right out in the open. The free peanuts remind me of going to Brown Derby way back when and throwing the shells on the ground... but I digress.
The fries are fresh cut and available in a Cajun variety which is my fry of choice. You can also get your ketchup and vinegar to go - they offer mini to-go cups complete with lid - which I think is fantastic.
Another plus? The Westlake location is one of the stores you can order from online. I haven't tried it - but it seems convenient.
As far as the atmosphere - the music is pretty darn loud and so are the employees. All in all I think Five Guys is a great choice if you're looking for a quick burger that tastes better than Mickey D's.
