| - I've eaten at the original Five Guys restaurant in Virginia, and several others as well, and now this relatively new one right here in Downtown Summerlin.
Beef patties with no fillers, more fresh burger toppings than you can shake a stick at, an abundance of tasty fries, and those fancy soda machines that let you pick from what seems to be hundreds of flavors...what's not to love?
The burgers have two patties, so you're not going to feel slighted when your food is ready. They're pretty typical size in diameter for a restaurant burger, but with two patties on the bun, you end up with a taller than normal burger. (Don't worry, if you don't want that much meat, you can get the small burger.) Throw on a bunch of toppings (you choose from a significant list of options) and you'll discover you can quickly make a burger tall enough that you need to take several manageable bites (or use a knife and fork) to make a dent in it. Our you can keep it stripped down, even all the way to just plain patties and a bun. You're empowered to do your own burger topping thing here.
The fries are cut and cooked "skin on" for extra flavor. Watch out! You always get an extra scoop of fries tossed into the bag on top of your burger and "regular" order of fries. I guess the fries don't want to be overshadowed by the burgers. Nearby, you'll find bottles of malt vinegar, just in case you go for the vinegar fries. (If you've never tried it, give it a shot. I think you'll like it.) Shake it right on, or get a small container to put it in.
Note that parking can be a bit tight if you really want to be right near the restaurant. If you don't mind a small walk though, there's usually tons of parking in the nearest main lot just across Lavender Hill Dr.
So if you're in the mood for a hot, fresh burger and fries, with no unnecessary extras, go get yourself some Five Guys.
