5 Guys Moves to Chicago: 5 Stars


By Neonu Jewell


My favorite burger joint in D.C. is now in Chicago. Five Guys Burgers and Fries opened its first Chicagoland restaurant in Oak Park (1115 Lake St.) yesterday. Five Guys started in Arlington Virginia and has spread to over 300 locations in 25 states.

Why do we love Five Guys? It is the taste, quality, options, and price. Meals are approximate $8.
  • There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys.
  • They use only 100% all-American fresh ground beef.
  • There are no freezers in Five Guys locations, just coolers. Nothing is ever frozen.
  • They use only Peanut oil.
  • They use only Idaho potatoes.
  • The menu is trans-fat free.
Five Guys has already secured four additional Chicago locations. Next month a Lincoln Park (2140 N. Clybourn) location will open. In early 2009, stores will open in Schaumburg and Orland Park. I am spreading the word about Five Guys for those of you who don't already know, because they do not advertise. They rely on word of mouth. It works. After you eat there, you will tell your friends. See you there!
