Keto Options at Five Guys Burgers and Fries
So in order to go keto at Five Guys, you’re going to need to order one of their burgers or hot dogs minus the bun. So you still get to enjoy the delicious hamburger patty or hot dog wiener, just minus the buns. That’s right, a bunless burger. Which, let’s be real, the hamburger patty and the wiener are the good part.
