This Five Guys is located on the ground level of the Spire building in Midtown. You can park for free for up to one hour in the Spire parking deck, which is accessed from 7th St. Five Guys faces Peachtree St. and is located next door to Gordon Biersch and across the street from the standalone Starbucks.
Compared to other Atlanta area Five Guys locations I've been to (e.g. Westside, Smyrna), this one is huge. This place presumably gets a lot of lunch traffic during the week because at dinnertime and on the weekends, it's pretty quiet.
While Five Guys is known for its burgers, I recommend trying their hot dogs. To me, their hot dogs are just as delicious and satisfying as their burgers. Five Guys offers four different kinds of hot dogs:
1. Kosher-style hot dog - $3.69
2. Cheese dog - $4.39
3. Bacon dog - $4.69
4. Bacon cheese dog - $5.39
I like to get the bacon cheese dog with raw and grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, and relish. I also like how all the burgers and hot dogs are grilled fresh. The pork sausage in the bacon cheese dog is split open and slices of cheese are placed inside where they eventually melt. The bacon consists of a slice of bacon, which has been cut into smaller, bite-size crispy pieces.
All toppings and condiments are placed on the hot dogs by the cooks, who then tightly wrap the hot dogs in a foil wrapper. Like the burgers, the hot dogs are messy and aren't the healthiest thing to eat, but they are oh so good. The hot dogs won't stuff you like the burgers will, but they're still super tasty.
If you've never been to a Five Guys before, it's better to err on the small side when it comes to serving sizes. The burgers are dense and filling and the portion sizes for fries are enormous. A regular order of fries can easily be split among at least two people. Order the Cajun fries for extra flavor.
Service at this location is friendly and efficient.
