If you're in the mood for a good, hefty burger - 5 Guys, in my opinion, is probably one of the best burger joints around. Yeah, you pay a little more for your burger but you also get what you pay for. Real, fresh beef patties - in either a "small" 1 patty or a "Large" 2 patty iteration. The best part is that you buy the burger and you can have it anyway you want, with whatever toppings (that they offer) you want. I've eaten at 5 Guys more than a handful of times and the burgers are always cooked to perfection - slightly pink in the center and crusty on the outside. I have no complaints. Except, for the fries. To me, the fries are a bit of a disappointment. Sometimes I get them and they are perfect - crispy in the outside, fluffy in the middle. But sometimes I get floppy fries - who likes floppy fries? I've even received overdone fries once - which is better than floppy fries, but still not great. I just wish they offered an awesome fry, to accompany their awesome burgers. Oh - handmade milkshakes - get outta here. Super yummy, super fatty, especially since you can add whatever add-in's your heart desires.
Oh and I almost forgot, the 1 thing that sets 5 Guys apart from other burger joints - free peanuts! Granted, they're nothing great. They're dry and salted and you need to shell them yourself...so what's not to like. And did I say they're free? No better way to entertain hungry kids than to have them cracking peanuts while they wait for their burgers. They could be eating way worse things before their meal.
If you haven't tried 5 Guys yet - give them a try. I bet, it won't be...
Read moreWe ate there on a Thursday at 5:00. When we pulled up there were five employees, four of whom were teens, standing around doing nothing because there were no customers in the store. We heard one of them say, "Here they come," when we walked in, probably referring to us and the other couple who pulled up just as we did. We ordered our food after they took a couple of minutes to get a register booted up and ready, and went to find a seat.
Here's where the problem comes in. There were no tables that weren't dirty. Ketchup, grease, salt, or something was smeared on every single one. Gross.
Maybe they could be trained to find something useful to do like wipe tables when there are no customers. I mean, I needed to use the bathroom but if none of the tables are getting wiped off I hate to think of what the bathroom would look like. No thanks. It also makes me wonder if the kitchen is being kept clean like it's supposed to. The dining area is what the customers see and what forms our impression of the restaurant, folks.
We love Five Guys, but this was pretty...
Read moreHorrible, horrible. The 4 stars given for the Murray Scholls five guys isn't accurate at all. First off, they are notorious for messing up orders. Secondly, then when you call them out on the issue they lie about it. Instead of taking responsibility. I thought after a year, maybe they would've gotten better Never again will I ever go to this location. I don't eat Burgers often, but they are off the list for good. I order Bacon cheese burger I get a cheese burger. Cold fries but the say they make to order. Well, you must of let them sit fir a while before placing them in the bag to go. The price you pay now for food and such the food should be correct and worth it. Oh yeah. No more extra fries in the bag it's a small fry for sure now. So take note. The Manager Dakota is a joke. I don't believe he is a actual Manager and if he is Upper Management needs to look at their leaders....
