The Underrated Milkshake You Need To Try At Five Guys

Five Guys, known for its milkshakes and burgers, has been a massive favorite among diners for its plethora of delicious offerings. The chain began as a burger joint in Arlington, Virginia, as per the Five Guys website in 1986. Started by four brothers, the restaurant focused on offering diners one of life's simplest pleasures: delicious, grilled burgers served with copious amounts of freshly cooked fries on the side. Oh, and free peanuts.

The Five Guys grew during the 1980s and 1990s as the Murrell family brand its eatery as the ultimate place to go to for a fresh round of burgers and irresistible toppings.
