Five Guys — Restaurant in New York

I took on my first set of 5 guys back not so long ago when I was an upperclassman in college. I wasn't ready for it and I still am challenged every time I think I’m ready to take it on since. While there are about a million other jokes I could make with this same vein of humor I'll save you the cringy read and stop here.

This is in reality only my second 5 guys' location and this one blows the other out of the water. It might be the friendly service staff in the entire city. You come in for a burger and leave with a whole group of friends. It felt like I was asking a childhood friend to cook me up something special. When the guy asked for my number when I went to check my order I started giving him my phone number until I realized he was talking about the number to my order. I thought we were like that already; I think in a few more visits he will ask for the real thing.

Enthusiasm does not mean speed. These guys don't want you to leave quickly because boy does it take long. Don't be worried because entertainment value is extremely high and the wait flies by. Plus they have free peanuts. By the time my food comes, I’m so stuffed with peanuts I usually just take it to go and eat it the next day. I would just order online but I would feel guilty as if they would read my generic name on the order and remember the conversation we had at the register. Just to be safe I always dine in.

If I had one suggestion it would be to come here during off hours because if you come during primetime it looks like a middle school parking lot with hundreds of bikes parked outside and UberEats entrepreneurs waiting at the front desk for their number to be called.

If the Five Guys franchise visited this location I think it would be boarded up the next day. I asked for a small fry and the guy winked and gave me a whole bag full. As happy as I was to get special treatment, I could feel the franchise looking over me in disgust. Not saying this to be a snitch, saying it to plug the guy.

I would call this the greatest fast food chain but it ain’t too fast and it ain’t too cheap. But if you're going to eat like dogshit you might as well make it quality, and for that reason, I’m giving Five Guys in...

The restaurant has very good reviews. I went to the store with one 6 year old, two 8 year olds and two mothers.

While there were no tables available, we sat there because a group of young people in their teens or early twenties left the table.

These young people were very dirty, littering the seats with trash, but I had no choice but to sit there because there were no other seats available.

When the table next to us became available, we asked the female waitress cleaning the floor if we could move our seats and she told us that the seats and floor were too dirty. We tried to explain that the people in front of us had made it dirty, but no! You people! You made it dirty! and then she had a very bad attitude after that.

I was looking at this clerk, thinking that he must be a person with a bad aggressive attitude towards other customers, but she was very friendly to other customers and treated them very well.

I thought he must be someone who clearly discriminates against Asians.

We left the restaurant feeling very sad and in the worst mood.

This is New York City. This is a city of immigrants, and if you hire racist employees, I am sure there will be many more customers like us who will feel sadness in the future.

I will never go to Fiveguys burger again and I will tell everyone I know to stop...

So read great stuff about this place, rocked up and had an overly arrogant person who was very impatient to take our order. After the order, even though there were no others, our order number was yelled at us. The food was borderline edible. Burgers mushy along with its toppings, the fries soft and soggy without any flavour. However, the “free peanuts” were a delight. Thank God for them as we were able to satisfy our starving tummies. If you are reading this try and stay away. They will take your money and give you cardboard/garbage. Might as well go to MacDonalds and pay less for a decent meal. The comparison should scream how low the standard. At least else where you will be treated with polite staff and better attitude. I wanted to speak with the manager but the person behind the cash register seemed to be the manager, if she couldn’t be polite when taking my money, how would she react for a comment/complain. I’ll make sure to speak “high” of this place to everyone I...
