Five Guys

[K8ling]

I am going to a concert tomorrow night and I'll need some food before... Has anyone been to Five Guys, and if so, can you recommend something? I'm going in Atlanta.

I've had really good luck with Five Guys. It is one of the few fast food-type places where the fries are gluten-free and not CC'd (they ONLY serve fries. No onion rings/cheese sticks/etc). At the locations I've been to (Madison and Cleveland), burgers are cooked on one griddle, and buns are warmed on a separate one. The burgers are 100% beef, and gluten-free. Each burger (whether to-go or eat in) is assembled on a piece of foil, so there is limited potential for CC from the counter area as well. I'm not sure about their hot dogs. Have fun and Enjoy!

What Ryan said. And when I've told them about my problem they've been EXTRA careful. The last time we went, the manager at our local 5 Guys heard me

and took over the entire preparation of my burger.

Thank You for the info been looking for some where to eat out at might give them a try.

The only thing you need to be careful of at 5 guys is that the burger assemblers all wear gloves. They've all been handling burgers with buns. You have to ask them to put on clean gloves before they touch your burger. I did not, and I got sick the first time. I sat there watching them putting the burgers on buns, and should have asked and did not, then paid the consequences. Next time, I asked and all was well. Their fries are the BEST. Enjoy!

LOVE Five Guys. I need to go eat there again soon.

I am so glad to find this. I am originally from Virginia and grew up with the original Five Guys. When they opened up here in Minnesota, I was overjoyed! I am so glad my family will get to continue to enjoy the Five Guys experience...whether our waistlines should is another matter.

I used to eat at '5 Guys' around Media PA all the time

Yes, make sure they know .............new gloves....when preparing your meal.

Food is great and now there is a new 5 Guys about 10 min from us in Wildomar CA. It does give In & Out a run for their $$$ but so nice to have 2 places now we know are safe. We always order the smaller burger as the regular one is BIG...

[jerseyangel]

We have one near us now and it smells incredible--I may have to give it a try

My son J and his friends ( none gluten-free) go there all the time and tell me it looks like the buns are far from the burgers. They would be happy to re-check for us.

I read the title, "5 guys, anyone been there" and thought perhaps I was on the wrong forum. I'm guessing it must be a US thing. haha

All I have to say is ..... YAY! I am going there tomorrow!

[SGWhiskers]

It's a 45 minute drive to the shopping plazas and the 5 guys. I'm thinking of an excuse to head down that way now.

Thanks for this info. Now I know a handy local restaurant where I can safely eat a meal with my friends and family.

So, CC risk aside, to be clear their fries and burgers (sans bun) are safe with regard to gluten?

When I called the one near us I was told that the only thing with gluten was the bun and they take cross contamination very seriously. They prepare the buns in a seperate area in the one near us.

Coolness.

We eat there all the time! I have never had a problem.. I just ask they change gloves an use a new spatula.. Usually I get the cheeseburger and add grilled mushrooms, peppers and onions and fries.. They even put it in a separate bag from my husband's and daughter's since they get buns. You can actually stand there and watch them prepare it if you want if that makes you less nervous.. Enjoy!
