I'd put off trying 5 Guys for quite some time because I knew how much it was going to cost me. So that said, cost is a factor in this review, but not the only factor. So... walked in around 12:30 or so and eyeballed the menu, which is blissfully simple, a nice change from some local franchises. Keeping it basic, I went with a cheeseburger, no onions and a small order of fries. I like that the only two choices I had to make wasthe toppings on my burger and the seasoning on my fries, which turned out to be the cajun seasoning. My order was a to-go order, and the wait time was maybe a tad long, but nothing I'd gripe about. I will admit that this time my preconceptions turned out almost completely wrong. Given most franchise burger places, I expected an anemic 1/4 lb paper thin overcooked patty buried under a mountain of lettuce. Not so. Here's one area where they did shine. The burger, once home and unwrapped was really nice looking. Easily 3-4" thick with a really thick meat patty and proportional amounts of trimmings, except for the cheese, which was there in abundance. All this is a nice way of saying it was a hot mess of a burger, in a good way. Burger was probably a solid 8/10. Where it came up short was flavor. It was good, and it hit the basic marks of a solid diner burger, but overall, the flavor was just average. Not sure what they could have done to enhance the flavor, but it just didn't measure up to places like Goldie's and OMG solely in flavor. Don't get me wrong, it was a good burger, but it wasn't a great burger. When it comes to the fries, I recommend you order the smallest size and see how that works. I ate fries all the way home (5 minute drive), and once home, split the order with my son and still had more than I could eat. And they were good fries.... not sure about 'cajun', but good nonetheless. I now understand why the small order of fries is nearly $6... seems like a lot (and it is), but you get a butt ton of fries. Honestly, I'd rather have an order half the size of the smallest one and not have far more fries than I can eat. The trick there, I suppose is 2 or 3 people order a burger and split the order of fries, so if that's your situation, cost is probably not bad. Service was what you would expect of a take out order, basic and just there. All together, the bill for the burger and fries was $18.49. Overall, I admit to underestimating 5 Guys based on the fact they're a franchise. The burger was good, if average. The fries were really good, if massively oversized. Not sure I'll be a regular because there's just better burgers in Owasso for the same...
Read moreAppalling, brackish and disheartening. What a disgraceful introduction to something that I was anticipating since arriving in Owasso. Ordered online and was initially sticker shocked. $12.99 for a standard “little,” combo… WOW. Paid for it, thinking, the price may be justifiable if it lives to the name. It was far from meeting that expectation. The burger: 2/10. It only gets a point for being fresh. Lacked flavor, disappointing overall. Stuck in the bottom of the bag and covered with soggy, under flavored, yet overly seasoned, French fries that are seemingly the staple of the establishment. The price reminds me of another establishment that went out here in Owasso also… The fries: Honestly, gross. Undercooked in some spots, soggy and no balance in seasoning distribution. Wildly served by literally throwing them in the sack, spilled about, on top of the burger. That was really a sad thing to have worked through. Didn’t even eat all the fries in the bag. The drink: drink flavors were missing out of the machine, but not to mention the size. It is indeed a “little drink.” For $28.30- I will NEVER return to this establishment even if the food was covered. I cannot express my disappointment in a single burger joint. This is the lowest and most disgracing visit I could not...
Read moreMy wife and I have been looking forward to the opening of Five Guys in Owasso, once we heard the news it was coming. Here are my major takeaways from our first visit: Crowded but enough seating for a busy lunch hour during the week Great service and food was quick getting out Tables were constantly getting wiped down after people would get up and someone would be moping to clean a spill on the floor so it was always clean inside
Reasoning for it being a 4 star rating is the price. We ordered two regular cheeseburger, a regular fry and 2 regular drinks and it came out to be $40. A bit pricy for a fast food burger but overall very happy with this establishment and how...
