According to a press release on the survey, Virginia-based Five Guys beat out such chains as In-N-Out Burger and Wendy's, and also came in third place for best French fries. (Wendy's won in the overall "top food" category.) The survey, which included nearly 100 major fast food chains and just under 40 full service chains, was based on the votes of more than 6,500 diners who made their picks via the Zagat site.
As recently as three years ago, Five Guys had no locations in the Boston area, but today the burger chain has a number of restaurants around the region, including spots in Dedham, Foxborough, Gloucester, Marlborough, Natick, Randolph, Swampscott, and Walpole, and another location soon coming to Framingham.
