Five Guys Burgers and Fries, 1304 Pipeline Road, Hurst, TX 76053 fiveguys.com
This chain began in New York and has consistently earned rave reviews from the Zagat.com crew. Trust me -- they're plastered all over the resto's walls! Yew cain't hardly miss'em. Not the best marketing idea I've ever seen -- Texans despise the "effete East Coast."
Five Guys' gimmick is what you want on your burger. There are two lists of ingredients available -- one printed in black and the other printed in red. Black: mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard. If you order "with everything" you will get all of the above. The red print is: relish, onions, raw jalapeno pepper rings,green peppers, A-1 sauce, bbq sauce or hot sauce. Choice of French fries or Cajun style, a powdered dusting of not-so-hot spices. $2.79 for a regular serving, $4.79 for the large.
The menu is disingenuous in this respect: a "hamburger" is a double patty; a "little hamburger" is a single patty. Yes, rather a difference.
I ordered a little bacon hamburger with onions, jalapeno slices and bbq sauce and it was excellent. Thick, juicy meat patty. $4.79 Note for the future: raw jalapeno rings are not nearly as hot as pickled. The Cajun fries were a disappointment, but we took them home anyhow, I had an idea about how to use them with breakfast.
Richie and Red ordered the doubles,and a soft drink for Barbara, who wasn't hungry for a tab that came to $23.87. I'd go for a hamburger anytime, but hold the fries.
