Five Guys — Restaurant in Hanford

I went there for the first time last Wednesday because I was tired, hungry, and In/Out lines are too long, plus I don't like their soggy skinny fries. I had gone to Farmer Brothers before and spent $20 on a burger combo, the first time was really good but second time was terrible. Lyla was very helpful I placing my 1st order, showing me the size of meat patty (from the kitchen area) so I could decide between the single or double patty since I order the double-double at In/Out. The special combo of small burger and fries was absolutely filling and the fries were perfect! Plus, the small fry order is more generous than at Farmer Brothers, plus, grilled mushrooms are included! Two nights later (Friday), I was going home late again but this time I knew I was going to have the same cheese burger combo with mushrooms again. The crew was different but customer service was consistently good as was the quality of food! The free roasted peanuts is also a great treat for the short wait.

I highly recommend 5 Guys, I only wish they had rootbeer and onion rings, but their fries...

It's just the drink machines. For a couple of months the fountain drink machines have been at an insufficient state, but now it's at its worst.

There are two machines. Many drink options are unavailable on both, and most flavor options for those choices are grayed out as well. This last time I used both, and each one spat out excessive water to syrup ratio ruining the taste of the drinks.

A few weeks ago the machine somehow created a puddle on the floor. The great employees put in good effort to remedy that quickly, but it's more of a mark against the machine. Oof it's a vibe killer.

[7/23/23] +2stars to 4/5. More options on drinks, left one has enough...

So sorry to say I was highly disappointed for my first time eating at this restaurant. I was surprised at the price, expensive, $9.49 for a bacon burger (which means a double patty) by itself! Then I added a Little Cajun fry for $3.98, which weren't anything special but actually a good spice. I didn't get anything to drink because that would of been another $2.69, meal came out to $15 and change cuz of tax; burger was plain with no seasoning and bread got soggy from pickle juice. Just all around not a good meal especially when I was so eager to try it, sorry Five Guys but just...
