Oman has finally been blessed with one of the best burger places ever – Five Guys!

Everything about this place is just so fab.

The RED and WHITE branding that you can spot from a mile away, the causal vibe and the smell – oh the smell!

The staff are well informed and trained from the Five Guys University.

The interior is classic and the vibe is fun and energetic. Open boxes of peanuts are present throughout the line to the counter, so you can munch on them while waiting for your turn!

ABOUT FIVE GUYS

Five Guys is an American causal fast food chain that focuses on handcrafted hamburgers, hotdogs and French fries. They have been creating food perfection since 1986, when they first opened up in Virginia.

Everything in their store is absolutely fresh. They don’t have freezers in their kitchen, which came as a surprise to us. They only keep their meat that comes all the way from the United States in chillers. A unique technology is in place that alerts the staff if the meat and even vegetable/salad temperatures fall below a certain level, which is their indication to not use that for their food.

This ensures that everything is a 100% fresh and safe to eat, which makes it clear why all the food from them tastes the way it does.

 

WHY ARE THEIR BURGERS THE BEST?

Their menu is quite concise when it comes to burgers, but that’s what’s great about them. Simple concentration on what they do best.

They have little burgers and regulars; the latter having a double patty as opposed to a single in the little.

The two main burgers are the classic hamburger and cheeseburgers, again, the difference being of double cheese in the latter versus none in the hamburger.

Doesn’t sound so special? It’s up to you to add all the magic! At the counter, you are asked to name all the sauces and toppings you would very much prefer on your burger, to make it just the way YOU like it.

 

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THEIR FRIES?

Five Guys fry their signature fries in no cholesterol peanut oil. Yes, that’s what makes them different. These thick cut, little skin on fries are so deliciously crispy with a subtle hit of peanut flavour. It’s a fine frenzy.

 

DO THEY SERVE ANYTHING ELSE?

Five Guys do amazing SHAKES – needless to say.

They are incredibly thick (SWEET COMA WARNING!) and in our opinion, are not to be had with their oh-so-filling meals, but suit yourself!

These shakes are a meal in their own. We have tried the Chocolate Shake and the Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter is their best seller, and for good reason! It’s a concentrated shot of the popular nut butter and is just what a lover of the flavour needs!

And they also do HOTDOGS…

Do we really have to comment, or can you guess already?

These mean hotdogs are to DIE FOR. Yep, we just said that.

 

Sure, everyone wants a Five Guys burger whilst in store, but it’ll become a tough call to choose between their hotdogs and burgers every time you’re at the counter to order if you try these! Just once and you’re in it for life.

These incredibly juicy hotdogs come neck to neck with the burgers, because of course, Five Guys never seems to disappoint. The same topping options are given as for the burgers.

 

ANYTHING FOR OUR VEGETARIAN FRIENDS?

Five Guys Oman have a dedicated section of vegetarian Sandwiches to cater to our fellow veg lovers.
