I had never heard of "Five Guys Burgers and Fries" until reading this thread..so I took a drive up to Manchester this afternoon. Holy Bacon Burger Batman!!!!
I do agree with the one comment that it is a touch pricey for fast food (tough / impossible to get out of there for under $10), but what a burger...and the fries? Possibly the best since the curley Qs at Skips in Merrimack, MA.
Great, great fries...and the burgers...sort of like you made when you first started to cook. Pounding out the burger by hand, just barely round, and then cooked until the edges were charcoal. Not at all your fancy restarant style burger, not all thick and running with juice...more like your fat uncle Joe cooked on his charcoal grill in the back yard. Every patty well done. A true hamburger/cheeseburger/bacon burger. Nothing at all, at all, at all, at all like a Wendy's/McDs/ BK burger. Not even close.
