Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries

The Five Guys menu is short and sweet: great burgers (with free toppings), fries (available plain or with cajun seasoning), hot dogs, and grilled cheese or veggie sandwiches. Burgers come in Small (one patty) or Big (two patties) sizes; hot dogs are served with or without cheese and/or bacon. Large orders of fries are available, but a regular order can probably satisfy a family of four. Drinks come in one, 24-ounce size with free refills .

Five Guys offers a few highchairs , but does not provide booster seats.

You can also pick up an ice cream cake (or order in advance, if you have something special in mind), or try the sundaes, shakes, and fruit smoothies.
