Wrap Your Lips Around This

Great tasting burger. There's usually a line of people that can attest to its greatness. One has to look no further than the hundreds of reviews, hand-written on index cards, that plaster the walls of this joint and praising the burger superiority.

All of the ingredients are fresh. The hamburger patties are pressed per order. There's a nice choice of toppings. The boardwalk style fries are tasty as well.

Five Guys focus is on good service and food, not atmosphere, though I miss the peanut shells (true aficionados will get this). Takeout is a popular option as seating is limited. There are only a few Five Guys, usually found around busy intersections.

• Pros: Burgers, Freshness
• Cons: Bad locations
