A Five Guys burger better than typical fast food places. You don’t have to pay a lot more for the extra quality. They do distract you from all the calories by saying that all the potatoes are fresh cut from Idaho and they don’t use frozen processed meats. So, beware of the calories when you enjoy their food in moderation.

The Five Guys restaurant decor is simple. They have a red and white checkerboard theme to the restaurant and the walls are dominated by their Zagat reviews and quotes from restaurant reviewers over the years.

I found out that a regular hamburger from Five Guys is really a double burger or double cheeseburger. The Jr is a regular hamburger, I would order that next time.

The fresh cut fries are very good and I would go order fries there as a meal alone since they give you so many.

If you are on a diet or watching your fat and cholesterol intake this is not the place for you to go.

The menu at Five Guys is fresh and made from great real ingredients without preservatives but the portions are large and the calorie quantity is huge.

If you go to Five Guys Burger Restaurant and want to watch the calories, get the Jr, a small hamburger, and split the fries with someone. Then you would end up with a total of 790 calories.
