Five Guys

Always good hamburgers and fries; though the single burger patties are a bit small, admttedly one with a substitute lettuce bun usually does the trick, a bit more meat would be better. The fries are tasty, plentiful, warm and crispy. I often split a large fry with the other two folks in my party. The shakes are deliciously smooth without being too thick. Service is usually good to very good and almost often the cashier is willing to make a last minute change (sometimes my kid changes his topping choice).

Free peanuts, simple menu, amazing custom soft drinks, perfect fries, and INCREDIBLE fast food burgers makes for as gourmet of a fast food experience as you could hope for. Don't go here for the health, but lets be honest, if you are going for health stay away from burgers and fries in general. "The Willy Wonka's" of the burger industry is very true. You can get these classic burgers for around $6.00-8.00 and customize them to be perfect for you. The crew that works at this particular Five Guys is fun and lively, you can expect great music when you head on in. If you are looking for good fast food but don't want to spend money on an expensive Chicago burger, go here, just do it.

Great burger for a semi-fast food place. There are better burgers in the city at places like Au Cheval, but for a quick take out place, Five Guys is up there. The seasoning on the fries is an added bonus, and they are extremely generous with the portions. They fill a cup and then just keep dumping more into the bag. They also have peanuts to snack on while you wait for your burger (usually takes about 10 minutes).
