What to order at Five Guys

Best bet: Any burger in a lettuce wrap, loaded with free toppings

Main options

  • Little Hamburger, no bun — the smallest option
  • Hamburger, no bun
  • Any burger wrapped in lettuce, including the bacon cheeseburger

Toppings

  • The free toppings are the best part — lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños
  • Mustard rather than ketchup or barbecue sauce

Sides

  • Fries, smaller size, alongside a protein-rich burger — or split an order

Worth knowing

  • A better choice than most fast-food burger places
  • Portions are generous, so size matters here

Guidelines, not medical advice. Menus change — check current nutrition information where it matters.
