The popular hamburger chain recently opened a location in East Lake's Shoppes of Boot Ranch.
The wait is over for fans of Five Guys hamburgers and fries. On Jan. 1, the Arlington, VA based fast-food chain opened a new location at the Shoppes of Boot Ranch in Palm Harbor's East Lake community.
Five Guys restaurants are unique from other fast-food chains because the restaurants do not serve frozen food and they don't have freezers. Five Guys employees make their burgers from fresh ground beef and he menu is trans-fat free.
The new East Lake Five Guys was busy when we stopped by Thursday afternoon.
The restaurant already has some regular customers. East Lake High School seniors Loren Whitaker, 18, of East Lake and his buddy Kyle Jones, 17, of Oldsmar were enjoying lunch.
"It's awesome," said Whitaker, who has his burger with cheese, two meat patties, lettuce, tomato, raw onions, pickles, mustard and mayo.
"Since this place has opened, I've been here four times," he said.
Jones agreed, "It's amazing. I knew I was gonna come here way too much."

Overpriced fast food only as good as the guy flipping the burger or pulling the fries out of the oil. Unfortunately, whoever was flipping the burgers earlier today was clueless, and the fries were overdone. More subpar food in Palm Harbor.
