Whenever a new Five Guys opens up, I love the gleaming white walls, everything is spic and span clean and the staff are eager to please. I really hope that the management can keep this one up because the ones by us have fallen by the way side and are a mess. Just walking into this one is like a breath of fresh air with every table and chair wiped clean and precisely aligned like a military marching formation. Opening a restaurant during the pandemic is a risky business. They've taken this into account with barriers between the booths, but the high top tables in the middle are wide open.
The burgers have gotten pricier since the last time we've had them. $9.29 for a standard 2 patty Bacon Cheeseburger, but at least their policy of all free toppings is still a thing. If you want a single patty burger, that's considered a small. You can order your burger All-the-Way, which is topped with ketchup, mayo, mustard, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, lettuce, tomato & pickles like my wife does. Because I only like mustard on my hot dogs and mayo on my deli sandwiches, I like to customize my burger with grilled onions & mushrooms, green peppers, BBQ sauce and topped with pickles. They smash the fresh beef patties on the grill, layer the American cheese on each to melt and always cook them to well done. The bacon is deep fried extra crispy and the whole thing is wrapped in aluminum foil. It's better to eat in and I open up the foil as soon as I get it, because the heat makes the bun a gooey mess if you take it home.
Don't forget the fries, which are fresh cut daily and you see the origin of the potatoes posted up on the board next to the register with the bags of potatoes piled up along the line as you enter. They're usually fresh fried to order and served in a paper cup, but they always add an extra scoop of fries in your bag, which is generous. If you like your fries spicy, get the Cajun seasoned fries. If you see the fry guy or gal putting the seasoning in your bag, ask them for an extra shake. If you like your fries New England style, grab a bottle of malt vinegar by the condiments. And don't forget to get your own tub of ketchup to double dip as much as you want.
I almost forgot about the peanuts! While you're waiting for your order, you can scoop up a boat of AYCE roasted peanuts to shell from the box by the drink dispensers. And it's free refills on the drinks as well, so mix and match to your heart's desire from the electronic single point Coke fountains. They also serve my favorite Gold Peak Iced Green Tea from a separate dispenser. Don't forget to refill for the road! read more
