This is a long, boring review. I got what I paid for; $52 and change for 4 cheeseburgers and a large order of "Cajun fries", which included tax and a 15% tip. I asked the cashier if the workers actually got the tips, but she wasn't sure and said, "I think so...?" Maybe they were a new employee. I chose to tip and hope they get it.
These Five Guys Cheeseburgers were made with two patties and two slices of cheese, but they had "Little Cheeseburgers" on the menu if you only want a single pattie-burger. I'm not an expert, but the meat did not appear to have come in frozen premade patties. The grill cooks seemed to have used a "smash" style of cooking the patties, however I did not find my burgers to be "over-smashed" (smashed extremely thin)... Maybe you could request it cooked that way, I do not know. The lettuce was chopped, not whole leaves, nor shredded. The tomatoes were standard; cut in large, round slices. The pickles were also standard, round cut slices and I did not order onions on the burgers. The "Cajun fries" had a little bit of a spicy kick... Enough to wake up the senses, but not so hot as to be unenjoyable.
What a long, boring review! Yes, I opened with that and added, "I got what I paid for". Will I be coming back to Five Guys? Of course! I got what I paid for! Yes, $50 seems like a lot of money for 4 burgers and some fries, yet... that's what things are costing these days. I look forward to...

This was my first visit - I decided to make a stop after hearing all the marketing hype about their award winning burgers. I have to say they were pretty good, but the prices left a hole in my wallet. For two people, we each ordered a burger, fries, and a drink, and our bill was $44. Ouch!
I got a Little Bacon Cheeseburger with all the toppings, which included grilled mushrooms and grilled onions - great options for the burger! The burger itself was juicy and flavorful, but that could just be from a higher fat content (cheaper) ground beef. I'd rate the burger an 8/10.
We ordered a small fry and a medium fry. The small was so small it was cute! However, they dumped so many fries into our bag, we ended up with the equivalent of two larges! The fries had a nice seasoning, although a bit high on the salt content. There are self serve pumps for ketchup and fry sauce.
The dining room was a bit sterile (and VERY chilly the night I was there) - it didn't feel too inviting as a dine-in option. The staff were VERY friendly, and their service put a smile on my face.
For a premium burger joint, it was good, but I thought it fell short of all the hype and the awards that were plastered all over the walls, which flaunted the quality of their burgers. I can certainly spend significantly less than $22 per person at other good...
Read moreDo NOT go into this location if you are a young woman, unless you have someone with you. The food at Five Guys is always amazing and the staff is too. There is this employee there who was in the dining area while the other employees were in the kitchen. We finish eating and he comes up to my table and gets in my face saying how pretty I am and how he thinks he knows me. I almost fall out of my barstool trying to get away from him and try to tell him I don't know him. He says he wants to introduce himself to me and says his name (don't remember his name) and starts repeatedly asking for mine. I was panicking and freaking out because he kept trying to touch me and kept getting super close. I gave him a fake name and quickly left. If I eat there again, I'm getting delivery and never stepping in there again. He had strawberry blonde hair and was about 5'7". Let me emphasize that the food is amazing and the rest of the staff was so nice and attentive and I usually love coming to this location or getting delivery from this location. Just that guy was so creepy and gave me so much anxiety. I hope something is done about him and I hope to think I'm the only one that has had a problem with him so no one else has to go through...
