The restaurant was perfect. The atmosphere was exactly as remembered and expected.
One cheeseburger. One bacon cheeseburger. One large fry. Two medium drinks.
THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS.
The burgers were tasty but crammed messily in the foil wrapping, half the toppings were on the wrapper rather than the burger. Which means the burger itself was coated with my mustard and the cheese that were supposed to be inside the bun... Quite a mess
The fries were delicious. And apparently a large fry equals seven large potatoes. Took the leftover fries home. One large fry fed four humans a healthy dose of fries each.
If the price was half, or even two/thirds, it would have been acceptable.
Burger king had whoppers on it's 2for6 menu for a while. A whopper is equal to the amount of sandwich I paid 11.99 for at Five Guys. Math is important, kids.
Tasty? Yes. Mind blowing? No.
Arby's Kobe Burger last summer tasted three times better at a third of the price.
In fact, just took my son to Arby's two days ago for their Diablo Dare meal special. He got the chicken I got the roast beef. We each got Diablo fries and a small vanilla shake. 9 dollars each. 18 bux. Stuffed our chubby little face holes. A unique experience.
Five Guys...
Tasty? Yes. Unique? No. Expensive as hell? Yes.
The girl behind the counter was cute. The cashier dude was friendly. All the employees were in a general upbeat and friendly mood.
Fries were the best part.
Next time I want to spend that much money on a meal for two, I'll go get sushi...
Read moreMy wife and I are on a Low-Carb diet at the moment so normally I wouldn't think of dining at Five Guys since they serve fries by the metric ton. Last night, however, we were craving burgers and decided to see if Five Guys could do anything that worked for our diet.
Let me tell you, they were more than prepared for the task.
We immediately noticed that all of their burgers can be made without the bun and we were also informed that it could be wrapped in lettuce for us if we wanted to eat it like a normal burger.
We decided to try it. Wrapped in lettuce was an understatement, by the by. It was mummified in lettuce. It was a small planet of lettuce with and extremely decadent bacon cheeseburger core. The lettuce was incredibly fresh, too, even under the heat of the burger patties it didn't wilt much and had a satisfying crunch throughout the entire meal.
I was entirely sated by this lettuce laden monster of a burger and, true to Five Guys form, I felt like I needed a nap almost immediately upon finishing. My only regret is that I didn't have some salad dressing on hand for the leftover lettuce.
I believe I have found my staple for Fast Food while I am on this diet. As much as I miss the fries that Cronchburger is too good...
Read morethe employees are very unprofessional and not friendly. when i ordered online, the wait time was 7 minutes. i drove over 10 minutes to get to the restaurant, assuming it would be ready. three different employees asked me if i had an online order, i answered yes each time expecting to receive my order. none of them came back to tell me that it wasn’t ready. i waited an extra 15 minutes to receive my food because they didn’t start making it until i got there. keep in mind, there were only about 5 other customers inside and they all had their food already. as i waited, i examined the employees, who were leaning on the counter that food was being made on, not washing their hands and most of them were laughing the whole time i was there while one person made my order. the only reason why i’m giving it two stars is because my burger tasted fine. very disappointed in what this...
