About Five Guys

Five Guys started in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia, when Jerry Murrell and his sons opened a carry-out burger joint with a deliberately tiny menu. The idea never changed: beef that is never frozen, patties cooked well done on a flat grill, fries cut from whole potatoes, and a box of peanuts to eat while you wait.

The part first-timers get wrong is the size. A plain “Hamburger” at Five Guys comes with two patties; if you want one, you ask for a Little. Then comes the real decision, fifteen toppings, all free, from grilled onions and mushrooms to jalapeños, relish and A1 sauce. The menu below is short because the combinations are not.

Around 2,000 restaurants across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
