This was my first time going to Five guys and since it was the second day that this location was open I expected a bit of wait. Even though the restaurant was packed the line moved very quickly and I was able to place my order within a few minutes of walking in. After placing my order I had to wait about 15 minutes for my food. I could watch the food being prepared and all of the workers were working very efficiently and making burgers non-stop. It took about 15 minutes for me to receive my food and it was only that long because there were so many people ahead of me.
Some of the highlights were the helpful staff, clean restaurant, fresh food, free peanuts, and a large variety of toppings for the burgers and milkshakes.
The downside for me was the price. I ordered two burgers and two small fries with no drinks and it cost over $30. The burgers and fries were good but they were nothing special. They do give a good amount of fries but for what I got the price did seem pretty high.
If you really like burgers or just want to try something other than another chicken restaurant I definitely recommend giving Five...
Read moreI was introduced to five guys in the late 1980s when I traveled to northern VA/DC. I loved their thick meaty burgers and crispy French fries.Fast forward to this rather newly opened Georgetown KY location. Staff super friendly. Store very clean. Same free peanuts. Delicious crispy fries, abundant order. But the beef? Not only was the patty thin but more importantly the taste! More of a corporate fast food replica. A hand patted fresh burger is available at many local mom and pop establishments for a fraction of the cost. Plus, another fast food joint that asks for tips when you serve your own drinks and pick up your food at the prep counter. We are subsidizing the wages that the cooks make. Not that they do t deserve a good wage but the costs plus gratuity don’t equal the quality. For a cheese burger, small fry, and a small drink plus a tip we are talking $25 plus. Ill pass next time for a cloth napkin establishment with a real hand patted burger with great taste for the same or lesser price that supports...
Read moreI eat Five Guys regularly, but usually in Lexington. I’ve been to this one twice, today being the 2ᴺᴰ time. The first time, my order was incorrect. Today, I was on break at work, so time was limited. The order is incorrect again, and I didn’t realize until I was back at work. I had enough time to go get it replaced though. I wish I hadn’t. It was hot garbage in a bag….. except the fries…. They were cold garbage in a bag. The grease dripped out of the bun! Although Five Guys is expensive for burgers, it’s usually worth it to me. This time, it went in the garbage, both times they made it. (I know it says “little fries”…. this was the size of a happy meal fries!) I guess it didn’t matter how many I had when they just got tossed anyway. Next time I get five guys, it won’t be at this one… I didn’t want to leave a poor review, and didn’t after the fist bad visit. I wouldn’t have this time either for making it incorrect, but taking two times to get it, and it still not...
