Being a big fan of Five Guys Burgers and Fries whenever I travel in the US. I was really looking forward to see the red and white checker boards try it's way into the Canadian market. They have crossed the borders under the "Five Guys Hamburgers et Frites" in the Montreal region, using the same foiled wrapped burgers and hand cut fries they are known for in the US. Everything is cooked on a grill, dressed the way you like and messy when you eat it... Promise.
The menu is kept simple: Burgers, hot dogs and fries. I tried everything on the menu and it does the job right in the greasy department. I find their burgers overcooked but nicely stuffed, the sliced hot dog on the grill tasty but expensive and fries will have you come back for more. Careful when ordering "all-dressed", nobody bothered understand what we go by around here.
Expect to pay above average for your favorite fast food: A burger will cost you $5~7, one hot dog goes for $4 and fries $4~5. The large drink is useless unless you didn't know it was free refills.
I'm not sure how well the franchise will be doing in the land of "La Belle Province", but where the POUTINE rules, how can you afford not to have any on the menu!?
