Five Guys Opens With a Bang

If you're going to open a new restaurant, open it on a school minimum day.

The line zigzagged between tables, bags of potatoes and buckets of free peanuts, but no one seemed to mind as they patiently waited for the first batch of burgers to come off the grill at Belmont's newest eatery, Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

The restaurant's management may or may not have known that Wednesday's opening day was also minimum day for kids in the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District, but they were prepared for the happy throngs of kids and parents who flocked to the popular burger joint at lunchtime.

Did you stop by Five Guys for a bite on Wednesday? What did you think?
