Five Guys Clifton Park New York. November 9, 2024. I didn’t come all this way to New York for Five Guys. We were meeting up at this central location on our way to Lake Saranac with a bunch of hungry high schoolers. Well, everyone saw the surroundings there and went their separate ways. I was hankering for a good quick meal. Time was of the essence. I walked over to the closest place: Wendys. I stood in line. Then my phone rings and it was my wife at the end of her rope with our 12 year old. So I had a decision: talk to my daughter or order my meal. I decided I would order just not at Wendy’s. I decided to walk and talk with my daughter. So I walked. I didn’t know where I was walking but I was gleaning information from her. I walked all the way back to our car and time was running away. We had to meet back in about 7 minutes. What in the world? Finally my daughter was convinced to cooperate with her mother and I stepped into the closest restaurant to our vehicle. Five Guys. Now mind you, we have 5 guys where we live in Western Massachusetts. But my whole family now just doesn’t go since our little one, now an 8 year old little one has a peanut allergy. Five Guys has peanuts coming out of every orifice. But now that our 8 year old was safely at home and I was in Clifton Park, New York, there wouldn’t be any issue! I decided I would go in. But now since the time crunch was upon me, would they help me out in time. I got up to the counter. The place was crazy busy. I didn’t want to mess up. People were coming in. The familiar look to the one back at home is strikingly similar. I have to be honest, I was shocked at the price of a hamburger. I thought 9 bucks for a burger!? Are you kidding me? I wasn’t even thinking about a drink other than a cup of coffee. Now due to the price I was going to have forego FRENCH FRIES! I ordered a junior burger with everything on it. The speed of delivery was amazing. I went over to the clean table with a friend who I was surprised was in here too. My clock struck the time to meet everyone. I had to do the impossible. I had to inhale. I snapped a couple photos first. That burger was so satisfying I cannot tell you. It had so much in it, so much value and it kept me full for the rest of the day! Thank...
Read moreThe food is absolutely amazing! I'd say it's similar in price to McDonald's quarter pounder, and double quarter pounder meals. The difference? You won't feel like garbage, and you'll be full for more than an hour. The quality of beef at 5 guys is top notch. The other day my girlfriend and I placed an order over the phone for pick up. When we had got there, the order was unfortunately never entered in. Now I was frustrated because I was very hungry, but what's done, or in this case isn't done, is done lol. But the were so very apologetic about it, and even gave us a $10 gift card that we could use toward our order, for only having to wait five minutes. You know even if they hadn't offered the gift card, I could tell they genuinely felt bad about the situation, and that's all you can really ask for in a situation like that, but they went above and beyond. Customer service is a 10, food and quality a 10. If you haven't eaten here yet, do yourself a favor...
Read moreI recently visited Five Guys and had a mixed experience. The burgers and fries were undeniably delicious, with fresh ingredients and generous portions that left me satisfied. The casual atmosphere and quick, friendly service added to the overall appeal. However, the prices were quite steep compared to other burger joints. While the quality of the food is high and you can taste the freshness in every bite, the cost might make it a less frequent option for budget-conscious diners. Additionally, the extras like toppings, which are free, are a nice touch, but they don't fully justify the premium prices. Overall, Five Guys offers a solid burger experience, but the high prices are a significant downside that might deter some customers from...
