As some-one who has eaten at Five Guys Burgers and Fries (in Washington DC) I can’t tell you how excited I am to find out that they are bringing them to our wee Island.  They are amazing burgers (not as good as In N Out but right up there), there’s nothing frozen and all is fresh. They don’t even have freezers in their stores! Their skin on fries, cooked in peanut oil, are great too. Although I’m not sure if they’re bringing the mountains of peanuts sitting round the store we where at in DC to Ireland, but either way the burgers will be on point as this guy knows! #NomNomNom

Five Guys is sussing out locations in Belfast as it prepares a roll-out of at least 10 sites across the island.  It is dubbed a “no-frills burger joint” focused on serving burgers and fries in a “clean, friendly environment”.

A franchise for the massively-successful brand has been securedby the sons of billionaire Irish financier Dermot Desmond – including Brett Desmond, the husband of songstress and actress Andrea Corr.

Before its onslaught on this side of the border, there will be around five of the burger joints in Dublin.
