We had been craving a teriyaki bowl and decided to try this spot…read more I got a small chicken teriyaki bowl and it was very filling, the chicken tasted a little burnt tho. We also got a beef medium plate and that was good, the avocado was just perfect. Service was okay, they delayed the order a bit and the girl said "sorry for wait, we're very busy" we were in the drive thru but we could see inside was empty! Like no one in there. But anyways.

I didn't really need to as I ate this whole thing in one go. I was the one who wanted to try out this spot due to the pictures of the food. Inside, it makes me feel like it was one of those homes that got renovated a little to be a restaurant. I got the BBQ R plate as it was advertised on the front door as we walked in,. The menu needs to be updated correctly to how they charge us because you can't see how much they charge you until after you pay and get the receipt. I think the guy needs to fix his wording too with asking for add-ons because he doesn't mention at all if they cost extra so BEWARE for avocado. We had to wait for about 15 minutes. Place could be cleaned more and the drive-thru process they have seem to be homemade also. Overall not bad for a good and filling lunch!!!

Anyway , it was not enough food for a stocky man, who was a fairly hungry . My friend , who also ordered grilled Salmon, had a side order of cauliflower-rice and side order sweet potato fries which were seriously over cooked , and borderline burnt . I took them back to ready station person and told the young lady that the sweet potato fries were burnt, and could I have another order of the fries ( obviously not overcooked) . She was surprised. But agreed to tell the cook , to make another order of them . After 9 minutes No one said anything to me , so the new perfectly cooked fries would have sat there if I didn't get up and locate them . Also the drink I originally ordered could not be found on the drink machine which I mixed a tea with a little soda . Nevertheless , the grill salmon was nicely prepared , but the skimpy portion of rice and the kale-slaw were not enough for two us. I was feeling like I could have ordered a second dinner , as was my friend, as we drove 35 minutes to meet there from different locations. The young fellow who took our order was helpful in helping us use the touch screen. However , it was our first time at this restaurant chain , and we're both feeling hungry leaving the place .

How you gonna eat pasta without a fork or spoon? Took away stars for that and the vibe inside the restaurant. Notice in my photo I had to go home where I could use my own fork. Bad if you want to eat there because it was so loud I was grateful I was eating alone and wasn't trying to have a conversation with anyone. They seriously need to put something on the walls and ceiling to lower all the echo and reverb. Impossible noise, absolutely not the sound level you want when you're trying to eat inside a restaurant. No wonder the dining room was empty that time I ate it there. But the food is good

The good? The burgers, excellent! Closest thing to a home made charred burger. The fries, very good. The drinks are refillable and plenty of them to choose between. The bad? Overpriced and devoid of any value, regardless of the taste, flavor, presentation, quality or quantity! The burgers are small, for a regular burger at $10+ I expect a spectacular LARGE burger and here Five Guys fails miserably. The fries have a real problem, quantity. Potatoes are cheap and at $4.99 small, $6+ medium and $8+ large your got a genuine ripoff when considering the portion bagged and served. In addition to the food, the wait time is painful. It's understandable when you consider it's a fresh made burger on the grill top. Let's talk about the cheese! For around a dollar, you can get "American cheese " added to your burger. That's 1 slice of "fake" cheese for a buck so their cheeseburger comes in at $11+. There are many burger joints that will combo a burger with fries and a drink at around $10. Most of the joints will bag a big portion of fries with a burger that's comparable in size to five guys or larger. Try it for yourself, see what you think. For me, it's one and done. In n Out is a better deal and you can depend on the value. read more

After walking out of a disastrous Mother's Day experience at a nearby restaurant, our group landed at Five Guys -- and it turned out to be the best decision of the day. No reservations, no wait, no drama. Just fresh, delicious burgers and fries served fast by a staff that clearly takes pride in what they do. After two hours of heat, stress, and disappointment, sitting down to a simple, perfectly made meal felt like a gift. The moms in our group deserved a great Mother's Day lunch, and Five Guys delivered exactly that -- without the corporate chaos, without the sweltering wait, and without ever making us feel like an afterthought. Sometimes the best meals are the unexpected ones. This was one of them. Big thanks to the staff that was working today! read more

Five Guys has always been a favorite of mine, and today's visit didn't disappoint! The service was swift and courteous, and I appreciated how quickly my order was ready. The burger was juicy and flavorful with a perfect balance of toppings. The fries--wow! They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The atmosphere is inviting with a fun, upbeat vibe. It's a casual place where you can enjoy your meal comfortably, and I love the upbeat music that makes it a pleasant experience. read more
