New burgers near UC
Five Guys Burgers and Fries recently opened in University Heights. This franchise, which started in Arlington, Va., in 1986, has been expanding across the country for the last three years.
The menu is simple: burgers, hot dogs and fries. But there are lots of toppings for customizing your own: grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, green peppers, jalapenos and A-1 sauce, along with the standard ketchup, mustard, mayo, tomato, lettuce and onion.
The local developer hopes to open 20 more locations in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The next will be in Crestview Hills. The store at 210 Calhoun St. is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
