8 Best Burgers to Order at Five Guys
Since its first location’s opening in 1986, Five Guys has steadily climbed to the top of America’s most popular burger chains.
With over 1,300 locations in the US, much of Five Guys’ success is thanks to its nostalgic decor and quick service. But it’s no secret that Five Guys’ claim to fame is their juicy and fresh burgers.
Five Guys has a burger for every appetite. With eight different burgers and a variety of toppings to mix and match, there are countless combinations to try on your next visit.
While looking at Five Guys’ menu, you might notice that some burgers have the word ‘little’ in their title. So, what’s the difference between a regular burger and a ‘little’ burger at Five Guys?
The answer is surprisingly simple – a regular burger comes with two patties, while a little burger only has one.
Five Guys also offers the option to order your burger “All The Way.” This means your burger will be topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
Other toppings options include A1 Steak Sauce, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, green peppers, jalapenos, lettuce, relish, and raw onions.
All burger toppings at Five Guys are completely free, and you can add as many or as few as you want to build your dream burger!
Plus, all burgers on the Five Guys menu can be made sans bun in two ways: requesting that your burger come in a bowl or ordering it wrapped in lettuce.
With so many options, it’s no wonder people keep returning to Five Guys for more.
