Five Guys — Restaurant in Johnston

🍟 Let's dive into the delicious world of Five Guys, where the burgers aren't just made, they're engineered for euphoria. Every bite is like a high-five to your taste buds, a meaty melody harmonizing perfectly with toppings tailored just for you. It's like Burger King went to culinary school and graduated with honors. The fries? Oh, the fries! They don't just accompany your meal; they're the golden, crispy co-stars in this blockbuster of a burger experience.

🤔 But hold your horses! Before you even get a whiff of those sizzling patties, you're greeted by the tipping conundrum. It's like being asked to tip a magician before he's even pulled a rabbit out of his hat. In the world of Five Guys, you're tipping for... well, that's the million-dollar question. You get your own drinks, napkins, and even embark on a mini-trek to fetch your food. So, why the tip? It's like paying for a concert where you're also the lead singer.

🥤 The tipping culture here is like a pickle on a peanut butter sandwich – you understand why it's there, but it doesn't quite make sense. Do you tip out of fear that your burger might get an unsavory makeover, or do you stand your ground and risk burger blasphemy? It's a culinary catch-22.

🍔 So, here's the beef: Five Guys serves up a symphony of flavors, a burger bonanza that's hard to beat. But when it comes to the tipping hat trick, it leaves us scratching our heads, wallets in hand, wondering if we missed the part where they serenaded us or did a little tableside dance.

In summary, Five Guys is a fortress of fantastic food with a side order of tipping confusion. It's like going on a fantastic date but having to pay for the pleasure of holding the door...

I recently ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and a normal Cheeseburger through Uber Eats. Though expensive, I was quite excited to receive my order as I have ordered from other locations many times in the past and have consistently been satisfied, however, when I got my order, I was surprised by the carelessness this location had when putting my burger together. As previously mentioned, I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger with almost every topping (my usual order from the chain), yet when I opened it up, there was no bacon, in fact there was nothing other than a couple lowly pieces of raw onion sitting atop a dry yet remarkably greasy patty, but hey, at least I was afforded a single slice of cheese with it. When I called the restaurant to complain I was sent to voicemail three separate times before conceding to google reviews. Overall, I was incredibly disappointed with my experience here, and will most definitely be sticking to other locations for my Five Guys...

Facilities here were tidy and charming, with a Rubbermaid changing table and lots of space, no music but the faint distant sound of patrons cracking open and crunching free peanuts outside. Like gently stepping on autumn leaves.

However, there was a peculiar detail of a rubbish bin in the far corner by the toilet, instead of the usual expected location of next to the sink where the lack of a receptacle after handwashing and drying was deeply felt in the most hidden recesses of my heart. I still believe my trust in sink-adjacent waste bins can be restored with a combination of time and rebuilding a sense of trust through personal development and a growth mindset; the resilient spirit sallies forth.

In addition, pricey but yummy burgers/fries, free peanuts. Will return triumphantly to revisit, with renewed vigor and audacity, the restroom corner...
