I recently visited Five Guys for burgers, fries, and milkshakes. While my experience had its ups and downs, overall, I found the food to be decent, but a little overpriced.
Let's start with the positives. The burgers at Five Guys were quite satisfying in terms of taste. They were juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The patties were thick and the option to add or remove extra layers, enhanced my experience. The variety of toppings available allowed me to customize my burger to my liking which was a big plus.
The fries at Five Guys were another highlight of my meal. The portion sizes were generous. The fries alone were reason enough to visit Five Guys. Milkshakes at Five Guys deserve a mention as well. They were creamy, and packed with flavor. The range of flavors available was impressive, from classic chocolate and vanilla to more adventurous options like peanut butter. The milkshakes provided a refreshing and indulgent addition to my meal.
However, there were a few drawbacks that prevented me from fully enjoying my experience at Five Guys. First, the prices are a bit steep for a fast-food burger joint.
Another issue I encountered was the consistency of their bread. On multiple occasions, I found the buns to be slightly soggy, which took away from the overall experience. A burger's bun should be able to hold the ingredients together without becoming soggy or falling apart. Unfortunately, this was not the case at Five Guys.
In conclusion, Five Guys offers decent burgers, delicious fries, and tasty milkshakes. However, the restaurant falls short in terms of its pricing, making it a less appealing option for those seeking an affordable meal. Additionally, the occasional issue with soggy buns is a noticeable downside. If you're willing to overlook these drawbacks and appreciate the flavorsome burgers and fries, Five Guys can still be a satisfying choice for a casual meal, but be prepared to...
Read moreUmm, not a whole lot to say about five guys, I think we all know what we are getting by now ( Cajun spice + BBQ sauce on a burger!).
What I would like to say about five guys is that I have found the staff at our local sites to be very friendly. Not sure how they do it, but they seem to be able to maintain a light hearted atmosphere for their employees which translates into a much better experience for customers!
I went to this location in the middle of the lunch rush (Fri 11/17 in case managers want to recognize staff :-) ). Employees were very busy, but that didn't stop them from acknowledging me as I approached the register. Once again, the young lady taking orders was extraordinarily nice (and genuine). My order was exactly what I asked for, and it was super fast (maybe five minutes max?).
I have been to this location at least five times, never disappointed. Thanks Five Guys for a good and quick meal delivered with a...
Read more5 Guys is one of my favorite mid budget fast food stops. The Western Ave location is probably my most frequented 5 Guys and they represent the brand well in all facets.
The woman at the counter was super fast with orders, the food came out quickly (barely cracked open my first peanut when they called our number) and I'd say it was moderately busy, so that's a plus.
Food was excellent, prices are what they are, I don't mind paying a little extra because those fries are so good. At some point they really need to offer cheese fries and gravy. If anyone at 5 Guys reads this and wants to take credit for my idea go ahead, you just have to promise to make me head taste tester in beta phase if they go for it : )
Clean bathrooms and all flavors available on the soda machines, what more could you ask for?
I will say ketchup was not filled (thus the 4 stars on service) but they had packets out so...
