8/19/2008 Update & Taste Test:
We’re getting very close to having our very own delicious Five Guys Burgers & Fries!
Sneak Peek
Last weekend, I stopped by the Absecon location. The place was buzzing with customers, and orders were flying out the door. Much to my surprise, the burgers were out of this world! (I had cheese, onions, pickles & jalapenos) The fries on the other hand, while fresh cut potatoes, were just a tad too oily and could have been a bit more “well done.”
But I still can’t wait to have these burgers around the block! Hopefully the prices are in line with the other locations (I doubt it…)
Sizes & Calories
One thing to note: They have two burger sizes: Regular and Little. I thought it was literally the size of the burger. But keep in mind a regular burger is TWO burgers (i.e., a “double”) and the little is just a “single.” I still shoveled the double burger down with ease.
You can check their nutrition facts here.
A single plain burger is 540 calories with no toppings or condiments. Add 280 for a double. So a bacon cheeseburger will clock in at just about 1000 calories! Holy moly!
Who else has had a burger from Five Guys recently?

Was walking by, and saw massive progress: A sign draped in the window!
From the looks of it, they were “working” but seem a ways off. If they can finish in August, it’d be a miracle. Otherwise, put fresh batteries in the H.A.T.T.!

One great burger place just isn’t enough!
Guess what’s coming to the old Battaglia’s location at 319 Washington Street? Five Guys Burgers and Fries!
I’m a bit speechless with the influx of tasty burgers in Hoboken.

I love 5 guys… just wish they’d have sauerkraut for the hot dogs.

They are going open just time for the first snowstorm. I love burgers with hot chocolate. Mmmmmmm…

For the sake of an occasional moment of edible ecstacy, I WILL ingest nearly 800 calories worth of cheeseburger in one sitting.
Speaking of which, I really miss homemade ice-cream. I’m so sick of all the fat-free and low-fat this-and-that infesting our little town. And neither Ben & Jerry’s nor Coldstone Creamery can kiss the “ass” of real ice-cream.
Emack and Bolio’s offered the best Cake Batter-flavored treat. But, alas, the establishment is no more

A 5 guys opened up recently near where i live and i took my grandsons and they liked the burgers but they loved those fries. Also there is another chain, if you ever see one, called”cheeseburger-cheeseburger” it’s worth checking out, good burgers and very good fries.
