Five Guys

A quick stop for a classic American meal sits on 6th Avenue. Five Guys is a fast food restaurant where counter service keeps the line moving. Diners here can swing by during lunch for a no-frills burger or grab a quick bite before a train leaves. The counter is set up for solo diners mixing right in with the crowd. Once the sun rises, breakfast sandwiches appear on the menu as one of several options throughout the day.

Come for dinner and find the same straightforward setup—burgers, fries, and a short menu that never gets confusing. They keep a handful of desserts behind the glass case for anyone needing something sweet after a long stretch. Late-night crowds know the place stays open when most others close, making it a go-to when hunger hits after midnight. The seating is basic and practical, spread across a few rows so you can eat while you watch the sidewalk traffic outside.

You can find it along 6th Avenue in Midtown, between 40th and 41st streets. Reach them directly at (646) 290-6120 if you want to check on anything ahead of your visit. No reservations are needed; the line moves as fast as the grill behind the counter.
