BEST BURGER

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

2501 Wabash Avenue (White Oaks Mall), 546-8230 From the super-friendly staff, to the fresh-cut fries, to the free peanuts, to the amazing burgers, what’s not to love from one of Springfield’s newest and most anticipated chains? Five Guys (amid an explosion of more than 750 locations in the past 10 years) took over White Oaks Mall’s former movie theater location earlier this year and the place has been hopping ever since. The menu is simple – you’ve got burgers, dogs, sandwiches, fries, and shakes – but the taste is deluxe. Dieters be warned: the sloppy burgers served at this red and white joint are downright addictive. Runner-up: Krekel’s
