Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Like the West Coast’s renowned family-owned In-N-Out Burger chain, East Coast eatery Five Guys (whose original family-owned restaurant opened in 1986, nearly 40 years after I-N-O) has retro 1950s décor and serves a limited specialized menu centering on hand-formed fresh – never frozen – burgers, and fries made from fresh potatoes.
