The burger establishments in Columbus better take notice - there is a new guy in town.  Make that Five Guys.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries, the much-hyped burger institution originally from DC, recently opened its first Central Ohio location on Polaris Parkway.  Like all Five Guys, the restaurant serves burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese or veggie sandwiches and two types of fries. 

Everything in the place, including the 16 complimentary toppings, is fresh - we hear the restaurant does not even own a freezer.  Visitors during the peak lunch hours might find a line almost out the door, but don’t flip out, the guys behind the counter work like a well-greased machine.  They’ll deliver a monstrous burger to you in no time flat.  Besides, there are boxes of free peanuts to enjoy while you wait.

Five Guys plans to open an OSU campus location very soon.  And rumor has it an Easton spot is not far behind.
