Although Five Guys is a very popular national hamburger chain, there is currently only one location in New Orleans. However, it appears that will change soon with a new location being planned for the Riverside Market at 5300 Tchoupitoulas St. According to documents filed with the City of New Orleans, construction of the new Five Guys location will involve demolition of the existing space and creation of a partial new glass storefront, new seating, and more. What Now New Orleans has reached out to the franchisee, GHG Gulf Coast, LLC, for more details.
Founded in 1986 by the Murrell family, Five Guys is known for serving hand-formed burgers, fresh-cut fries, and signature milkshakes. Although hamburgers are the premier item on the Five Guys menu, the chain is routinely rated as having the best french fries in the quick-service restaurant industry.
