Local restaurants owned and started by fellow Queens residents are always some of the best ones to go to for their custom recipes and unique menus. But chain restaurants also serve delicious food, and although not every kind has a franchise out here in Queens, many have established business and are continuing to do so. For good food you can get all over Queens, go to the Best Chain Restaurant in Queens.

In 2003 Five Guys sold out of franchise territory within 18 months and started to open the rest of the country for franchise rights. From 2003 to present, Five Guys has expanded to over 1,000 locations in over 47 states and 6 Canadian provinces.
