Excellent food. But Guys, all 5 of you, we need to talk. Your online ordering system is pure madness and costs you a star.
They updated the app to have a button to be like "yeah drop my fries, i'll be right there", and it doesn't do anything, they still drop your fries when you get there.
To top that off, the people only call orders when they are ready like "25" or "41", and online orders do not use that numbering system at all. So you have to awkwardly be like "is my stuff ready yet?" when you already slammed the button that says "i'm on my way, make all my stuff" and then slammed another button that says "i am literally in your restaurant".

And did I mention the...
   Read moreAddictive burgers. Very filling !! They have nice fries (pricey though) . They always give the extra scoop of fries to make them worth the price and make you feel like you re getting a good deal. Most stores I visited were great. Zero stars rating for the NY Times Square store. It is a dump and should not be in service. Plus many people come from around the world to that area. All they see and experience is a diseased sickening store with staff that looks like they are tortured just been there and look like they wanna stab you for placing an order. My friends were adventurous to eat there. They got sick. That store should not be open for service. Other 5 guys stores I visited were cleaner and...
