Peanuts make the wait for freshly made food effortless.
Daniel B.

By the time Five Guys made it up to the Capital Region, it was already a large chain restaurant. But it was after the brand's arrival that this burger seller became much more of a national enterprise. The only reason I mention this is because I've noticed a decline in the deliciousness and quality of its beef. Granted, I'm more sensitive than most. But now I find small hard pieces of cartilage (I hope) in the patties. More importantly, the burgers just don't provide that long lingering beefy flavor on my tongue like they once did. Sigh. Fortunately, I've found the chain's vegetable sandwiches. One of my favorite things about the Five Guys burger has always been its rich delicious bun. And this bizarre concoction of grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, LTO, sliced jalapeños, mayo and hot sauce is surprisingly good. It's even better since I discovered that they will grill the jalapeños for you too. It's strangely satisfying, especially when combined with the fries. The fries continue to shine. And not only that, they are a ridiculous bargain. A family of four can reasonably share a small order. Assuming you split it evenly, that still comes to 250 calories of french fries per person. I'll occasionally just come in for an afternoon snack and split a small order of fries with the two kids. TL;DR It's quick and delicious. Plus I've even found a way to make it a healthier choice.

Jaguar and me and a lot of big guys mostly enjoyed burgers for lunch at Five Guys this afternoon. OK Steve N.}}} I DID order the cheeseburger (2 patties) - the one with the cheese between the patties, and you were right - very nice: tender but not squidgy, juicy, and greasy. It was a big burger for a little superhero and this time I didn't try to finish it. In a basically veg-free environment I topped mine with fresh tomato, onion, lettuce and mustard with pickles (NO MAYO NO KETCHUP) to get me a serving of more than just meat and bread. The burger didn't fall apart and I loved every bite. Jag was a copycat but went with the grilled onions instead. Slippery and good but she didn't feel "wowed" - a good burger. AH - the best part was the fries!!! Thick - not those wee skinny pointy little shoestrings that you eat 6 at a time so you get a mouthful - these were dark and crispy on the outside and perfectly squishy inside, hot and fresh and not too salty, with lots of little overcooked ones to savor between eating big ones. We ordered a regular and it was ALOT of fries, but we ate them all. Tres yum. I went through about 10 napkins. I don't generally go for paper products going into landfill (FG is all about disposables) and though it may be part of the experience, I would really have liked a paper plate instead of paper bags and napkins and burger foil to eat off of. It was a bit too picknicky for this gal. And guest what!??? They now have MILKSHAKES!!! . I guess they realized the competition was getting fierce out there - everybody else is "crafting" shakes. But when I asked what was in them buddy didn't know. OK next time on the shake. Zena, Goddess of Fire

Rarely disappointed. Everything is always fresh. "Not A Freezer In The Place", according to one of their in-store signs. I always order online and pickup at their Guilderland location. The online ordering is very cool. Options aplenty. There are loads of toppings from which to choose, AND you can select 'light', 'normal', or 'heavy-on-the-' for each item on your burger. Once you arrive and tell them you've got a web order, they'll shout it down to the employees that are preparing food, and your order is usually ready within a couple of minutes. I much prefer their method of "get it started so that it's close to done when the customer arrives, but don't COMPLETELY finish preparing it until they get here" vs. other places that opt for the "prepare everything as soon as the online order comes in and then let it sit and get cold and gross" method. Their burgers are delicious, but the shining star of their menu (at least for me) is their fries, particularly their Cajun fries. Fresh potatoes arrive daily from the most exotic regions of Idaho.

My husband's burger with bacon....as I stated at it longingly.

Opted for the Memphis Dog without cheddar & after microwave for 30-seconds it worked. And who says local spots are not worthy-if you been watching THINK AGAIN!

This is really a 4.5 out of 5!…read more We visited McCants for lunch on a Wednesday. It was part of my trip around the country trying hot dogs and McCants helped us check Albany off the list. We had just come from a drive around the NY capitol building and, whatever way the GPS brough us, it said that we had "arrived" when we were still on Delaware Ave. We were looking into an empty storefront and we were worried. But we turned the corner onto Central and were overjoyed to see McCant's. We couldn't tell if it was open from the street but we pressed our luck, parking and walking about a block. They were open! Yay! You can order at a kiosk/screen. Our group each went with a different dog, our group ending up with a Memphis, a Slaw Dog, and a New Yorker. We shared an order of fries. The food was ready quickly and as the food got off the folks behind the counter made sure everything looked good to us (it did!). My Mom gave her New Yorker 5 stars. Great flavor with the sauerkraut and onion sauce. My Aunt gave her Slaw Dog 4.75 stars. Tons of cole slaw (maybe a touch too much). I'd give my Memphis Dog 3.75. The McCants chili is pretty loose, liquidy and there is plenty of it on this top (maybe a touch too much). I didn't think the bun stood a chance against all the liquid toppings but, with some delicate handling, it made it through the whole eating experience. Phew. It was good but I think the chili really dominated the other toppings. The fries were great. Really well-seasoned. The folks behind the counter made sure we had a tasty experience as we left. I'd definitely come back here! I'm eyeing that Fire Truck!

I ordered the Double Combo ($14.89 plus tax) which includes 2 specialty dogs, chips, choice of side, and drink (can soda or water).

The grilled Korney and Dirty hot dogs in soft buns were good sized and filled with plenty of tasty toppings as described above. The orange mac & cheese was very soft with thick orange cheese sauce, great for dipping my lunch and those BBQ potato chips. I got a can of cold 7Up to wash down the aftertaste of the food.

Great place and the dogs are even better. The owners were super nice and were training their family…read morewhen I walked up, I ordered 2 #4s and they tasted just perfect :)

Hotdog (9/10): Small, but very good. Cheeseburger (7/10):…read moreThe cheese and buns were pretty nice. The patty had a bit of a beefy aftertaste. Pretty decent, especially for the price. Onion Rings (10/10): These are actually perfect onion rings. Don't know how it could get better than this. Perfectly crispy, and the onion bites cleanly through. Fries (5/10): Fries, on the other hand, were average. Everything on the menu is really cheap. I feel like the burgers are the best deal. The hot dogs are worth trying, though. You must order the onion rings!

Love this little place. Been here a few times before…read more I try to stop in every time I visit the MOCA. It's cheap,yummy and zero pretense. Initial impression can be a bit dodgy because it's super old and worn, but it really grows on you. Tiny menu but perfect for a quick old-school snack of burgers/dogs/fries. And the hard working staff is super welcoming. I usually sit right next to the door that opens/closes nonstop but I never mind. I always find myself saying "hi" to literally every stranger that walks in. It just ooozes with that increasingly rare "locals only" vibe I love so much. After half an hour sitting at the counter I start to feel like and honorary local. It reminds me of the Tasty in Harvard square I used to hang out at late night. And the total lack of posturing is a welcome and refreshing change from the fine dining world I tend to gravitate toward. A hot lunch for under $10 - WINNING! Pickup a big "Jacks hotdogs" sticker for your car- they're super cool!
