Five Guys — Restaurant in Town of Malta

Holy grease-trap batman!

This is not my first experience with a Five Guys before, nor my second, but it was the first time I have bought a burger from them. I've had their grilled cheese, their veggie sandwich, and the BLT. But never a full beef burger. (mostly because I tend to avoid red meat)

But being as burgers are a part of their tagline, I figured I would have to add it to my to-do list. So here we are.

Ordered online using their website and bought a large Cajun fries, a Bacon Cheese Burger, and a Banana and Strawberry shake. All together coming to a little over $30 before tip, a little pricy but they do give you enough fries to sink a battleship so there's that.

Had to wait about 7 minutes after the time I requested for pickup, even though I clicked their link to let them know I was enroute and everything. Not the most efficient, but they didn't go over 10 minutes so it wasn't too bad.

Back home, well, in the car I slurped down the shake because it was cooking outside and the shake was becoming more milk and less frozen by the second. Very surprised none of the strawberry bits clogged the straw as they tend to do, and the flavor was quite rich but not very banana-y. Still, pretty good.

Now for real, back home, I dug into the burger and fries. The burger was first and boy, I think half the weight of that thing was in grease alone, because man, I think if I had been the tin man I would have been set free from my rusty joints in an instant after I eaten this. The flavor was meaty, juicy, SO greasy, and very savory. It's been years since I have had an honest to goodness burger, but I do not recall them being so liberal with the fats. As for the fries, well, quite the disappointment. I've had them before and they were super! Crispy, spicy, and warm. But here I found them to be limp, oily, and room temperature at best. Didn't even taste that well seasoned, though perhaps that was because the oils covered up any chance the Cajun had at showing up. A darn shame.

Overall, 4/5 stars. Relatively fast service, super greasy burger, and...

Stopped for a bite on my way back from NYC. This was the first time I ate at a Five Guys. The rating is for business model and in no way reflects the courtesy of the staff. This place serves up burgers,hot dogs and hand cut fries. However they charge you for a slab of prime rib. 35$ for 2 dogs, a cheese burger fries and a coke. At this point, we should have turned round and walked out. NO burger and fries is worth that price. The walls are plastered with a praises from news publications exhaling the virtues of the food being served at Five Guys. The meat is top shelf. The potatoes have their own local zip code. The burgers are customizable with any garnish your heart desires. Why is this familiar? Oh yeah! They copied a Canadian fast food chain called HARVEYS. Customized burgers since 1959. Oh yeah, they don’t charge me for prime rib when I...

Service sucks. I ordered food and the register guy was a complete d head . My card only said decline cause the power of the place was literally off . Then he wants to crack up a joke to his co workers. Like you are serving ppl have some respect. Mind you I always tip this guy.

Mind you when I changed register my card worked perfectly fine.

Oh my receipt it says his name is Andrew P. I've work in the food industry and that's not the face or representation I would want for my company . Belittling someone who was already slight frustrated and embarrassed that it happened must be this guy's MO apparently. And that's sad for a company that has good food. I personally will never be coming again. Cause he spoiled my experience. Even though the rest of the staff...
