I did not try the food, for I was picking up for someone else. The first thing I noticed when I walked in is that they are storing oil and peanuts in the middle of the store, making a very long island just for storage. The second thing I noticed is that the floor had not been swept in hours. There were fries and peanut shells everywhere amongst other food remnants. The place was a mess. At least six people walked in after me, thus expanding their workload immediately. Even still, there was one person who walked in who seemed to be friends with one of the employees. The employee was just standing there talking to her while the restaurant was in the weeds, when he could have been doing something to help (like sweep). If there's time to lean, there's time to clean. It took at least 20 minutes to get the food I was picking up, and the bag was covered in oil from guys not taking their gloves off to handle the bags. I'm glad that I was not eating the food, though I have no comments on the quality of the food, I could tell the employees were inexperienced and obviously don't care about the quality of the restaurant. A place like that that is appalling to the eye is a place I would never...
Read moreFive Guys:How is this still a thing? I honestly can't believe they stay in business. Almost $40 for 2 small burgers, a BLT, 2 orders of sub par fries a small drink and a large drink. That's pretty steep for a couple of burgers and some fries. Beyond the price though, they just aren't very good. The burgers are okay I guess. But they are the worst of the "better" fast food crowd like Habit, In and Out, Shake Shack, etc. Not impressive in any way. Sure, they give you a lot of fries. But a lot of soggy steamed fries isn't a good thing. Why stuff hot fries in a f*cking cup? Who's brilliant idea was that? So, so, soooooo stupid. The Cajun fries were just spicy, salty and soggy. 5 Guys should rethink their entire fry theory. It's a complete miss. From portions, to cook times(way under cooked), to seasoning levels to presentation it's a mess. Their fry sauce is pretty good. But nothing noteworthy. I'd never go back. There are about 50 better options for about 1/2 the cost. I hadn't been to a Five Guys in about a decade and now I remember why. The employees were nice enough, so that's another bright...
Read moreIt was the final vacation day of the new year. I needed my final fat boy kick off before hopping into a healthier 2016. I rarely eat burgers, so I figured there was no better time than now to clog my arteries. The wife and I headed to Five Guys for a mouth full of meat and Cajun seasoned fries. Five Guys is a walk up restaurant. A step up from drive through, but not quite table service level. I picked my grilled onions and mushrooms, bacon, mayo and everything else that I shouldn't be eating. We sat, and cracked their shelled peanuts as an appetizer. They called our number, and we took our burgers home and enjoyed them as we watched pirated movies. It was a good start to the new year that resulted in a tummy ache from overconsumption. My own fault. Five Guys is delicious. As far as chains go, this ranks pretty...
