Hamburgers, this one dressed with cheese and bacon, and fries are the staples at Five Guys Burgers and Fries.When the first sign went up advertising a new Five Guys Burgers and Fries downtown, my wife and I greeted it with a mixture of excitement and worry. After all, we loved their burgers and stopped by the Five Guys in Hamilton Village anytime we were in the mall area.
Fortunately for our waistlines, a drive to Gunbarrel Road is a once-in-a-while thing, but this location, opening in the old Rock Point Books location, would be a five-minute drive from home.
