Five Guys — Restaurant in Erie

Came in for lunch today and made the mistake of forgetting the order my fries cajun style, which is the only way these fries are any good. After realizing that I forgot, I went up the the front, wallet in hand, and asked for my order to be changed to cajun fries.

My burger did fall apart so wasn't the easiest to eat and that would be my only negative. Would like to try the other menu items the next time...

I really did like the food. Amazing that it's free, not sure how they do that. The only problem I had was that when I went to the bathroom there was a really weird employee just standing to the left of the door staring me down. I'm not sure if they were actually a Five Guys employee but they were wearing some uniform. I glanced at them and they told me to "look out for the sludge". I naturally thought they were just kind of out of it, but I went into the stall and the interior was COVERED in black goo that smelled horrendous. I immediately walked out and the employee person was gone. Not sure what that was but the peanuts were...
