Established in 1986, Five Guys Burgers and Fries has grown into a national favorite for those who love the All-American flavor of its food. The chain is famous for its wonderfully simple menu featuring American favorites: burgers, fries, and hot dogs. Though this selection of foods could put the restaurant in the category of your typical fast food chains, the details of its operations prove the contrary. Here are five reasons why Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a cut above the rest:

1. The menu is trans-fat free.
2. The restaurant uses peanut oil.
3. There are no freezers. The restaurant does not freeze food; therefore, customers do not eat thawed-out ingredients.
4. There are more than 250,000 possible ways to place a burger order with the restaurant.
5. The restaurant only uses fresh ground beef for its burgers and fresh Idaho potatoes for its hand cut fries.
