Five Guys

Five Guys Hamburger Fast Food just opened up in Torrance a few weeks ago.  A family run business which started in 1986 in Arlington,Virginia and eventually spread all over the states.

The place had the feel of an In-N-Out Burger joint. They had a big box of peanuts which you could have (for free) while you waited for your burger.

You could order regular size burgers and what they call "little burgers". The little is big enough especially if you put in the many toppings and condiments available.
In addition to mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles, they also had grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, Jalapeno peppers, green peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, A-1 sauce, bar-b-q sauce and hot sauce; all for no additional cost. Suddenly, my "little" bacon cheeseburger was little no longer!

The Cajun Style Fries was enough for 3 people. They were very good but lacked the crispiness.  The burger was very fresh. Freshness was the key. It was good; I'd say much better than In-N-Out. Though I am not an In-N-Out fan, I still enjoyed this one but I have to tell you that as far as fast food goes......my heart belongs to Carl. (Carl's Jr.)

Five Guys is located at the corner of Hawthorne Blvd. and Lomita Blvd. in Torrance.
