Five Guys — Restaurant in Dickson City

I mean, the standards have definitely gone down. I have been a Dickson City Five Guys customer for over a decade and have watched it slowly dwindle. Long wait times, average food; made with little care, staff that is too busy waddling around to keep the place clean and tidy. My last order was the most disappointing and that's why I'm writing this review. Our order was not correct even though I know the woman on the phone repeated each thing back as I said it (I think she doesnt know how to run the computer in which case she should ask her manager how to properly key it in). So, my burger had extra things that should have been on the side or didn't have things because I wanted it on the burger and on the side and only got it on the side, etc. I also asked for extra bacon which there was not- the two slice normal amount that is standard on the bacon cheeseburger. The green peppers were cut far bigger than usual and that lead the burger to feel like a ground beef and pepper sandwich. Lastly, there were like 4 tiny pieces of lettuce that barely covered the patty. Nothing was terrible, the service was alright, the food was okay, the place was relatively clean- it's just a shame of how it used to be. I used to crave the symphony of flavors that entered my palate when I bit into a Five Guys burger, there used to be a whole vibe when you walked in where customers felt comfortable and like the high prices were worth the product. We are two steps away from feeling like McDonalds now and it's been an ongoing situation.

Please re-train the staff, please have a staff morale boost, please incentivize staff to want to keep things up to par. I know you can do better....

Five Guys: A Delicious Descent into Madness

The moment you step inside, the scent of sizzling beef wraps around you like a sinister embrace. The fries—golden, glistening, whispering promises of indulgence—spill recklessly from their container, an avalanche of temptation.

You take a bite. The burger drips with reckless abandon, juices pooling like the remnants of a forgotten nightmare. The cheese melts into the patty, binding together in an unholy matrimony of flavor. Each crunch of bacon is a thunderous echo, a warning that you are straying too close to the edge.

Your arteries? They scream in protest, clawing at the walls of your existence. But you do not listen. You cannot listen. You are too far gone.

The fries—oh, the fries—are cooked in peanut oil so rich, so decadent, that they haunt your dreams. You reach for another handful, knowing full well that each bite brings you closer to the abyss.

And yet, you smile. Because some horrors are worth the sacrifice.

Five stars. Would sell my soul for...

I like to see things as they are, and judge based purely on the food. And this place has it. It's a greasy mess, and nothing wrong with that. A popular opinion is that the food is too expensive, but to me, you get what you pay for, and in this case, it's a good thing.

I don't get how an unseasoned burger can taste so good, it purely has to be the sheer quality of the beef and toppings. This is one of the ultimate guilty pleasure meals, in every way. The fries aren't crispy, they're soft and soggy. Yet absolutely delicious. No toasted buns here, a completely soft and wet burger, but damned if it isn't delicious.

Cooked fresh to order is always a plus to any establishment, especially when done in plain view. Always adore any place that has nothing to hide. Is the food expensive for what it is? Maybe. Would I get this when craving a greasy burger? Much more than any typical fast food, or diner fare. Not often that I do, but I'd easily come back here whenever I crave a...
