As in the case of Chipotle, I was unsure if I should review Five Guys Burgers and Fries.The chances are high that you've probably heard of it by now. After all, it's President Obama's favorite burger joint.
Still, if you haven't, I figured I should tell you that it is an experience that transcends words, due in large part to its simplicity.
In addition to their complimentary peanuts, they ultimately only serve four items: burgers, hot dogs, fries and drinks. The fries come in two varieties (regular and cajun) and are put in a paper bag with enough grease to lubricate your car engine.
The burgers come in two varieties, "small" (one pattie) and "regular" (two patties), and are hand shaped, so they are not as standardized as the bigger more established chains. They also have an array of toppings you can request on your burger free of charge that I won't go into, but you can see for yourself here on their website.
Otherwise, that's it, and that's their genius. It's like looking back in time to the birth of fast food, eating a slice of Americana before it got all complicated. Five Guys is just plain good food. I don't know what else to say.
As for the location, it's right on Amherst Street (convenient) next to the "other" jughandle (not convenient), but I really doubt that if you're heading towards Downtown Nashua and you get the munchies that you wouldn't mind driving a quarter of a mile and pulling a Nashua style U-Turn down past Pep Boys to come back and eat here.
In fact, I may go up to the Manchester Five Guys and "review" their location if only for an excuse to eat another one of their burgers. The only reason I could think of for someone not to eat here if one is in their area is if they are allergic to peanut dust, as the restaurants are covered in the stuff.
