I had Five Guys burgers in California and my craving could not be surpressed any longer so I had to search for the nearest one to my house. This location was easy to find and as soon as I walked in, the workers there greeted my husband and I with a smile and great enthusiasm. I like that they have a menu focused on just burgers and fries. I ordered the cheeseburger, which has two hand formed patties of meat and two slices of cheese! YES! Total glutton fest but hey, you come to a burger place to splurge, not watch and count calories. I love how you can add as many toppings that you want on your burger to customize it the way you want. A huge plus is that you can get GRILLED ONIONS and also GRILLED MUSHROOMS with no extra costs cause the toppings are free! So how about that, having some nice grilled onions on your burger instead of raw ones? The flavor just goes so well with a burger. We also got one REGULAR order of fries. One REGULAR order is enough for 2 people. I am serious!
We waited probably less than 5 minutes for our food. They package all orders for dine in like they do with to go. Everything is put in a brown paper bag. You will understand why when you get the bag. So we get our bag and in it is our burgers, which have stickers on them with a number. Basically they save you the trouble of figuring out whose burger is whose in the foil wrapper by putting numbers on it. The numbers indicate the order that you placed your burger order. So I had ordered first and my husband second, my burger had the number "1" sticker on it and his had "2", which corresponded to the receipt/ticket on the bag. Cool ideal and I can see how it saves time sorting if you have a large group order. Under our burgers was a cup of fries and ALOT of extra fries that did not fit the cup. It was like half a bag of fries. The best way to eat these fries is to tear the bag down the middle and spread it out on the table. I swear, you get so many fresh cut french fries with just one regular order!
How were the burgers? WOW! The meat was tasty, the toppings were fresh, and you felt that you were getting a good deal as the burger was good and solid in weight. I love the fact that when you ask for jalapenos in your burger, you get FRESH not pickled jalapenos. FRESH jalapenos. Wow. The little details amaze me.
I have to say that aside from quality burgers and fries, the employees here sure are nice! I feel that I got a good fast burger and good service for a good price. I do not know if I can say that for alot of burger places.
Oh, I need to mention that when you wait for your burger, they have boxes of roasted peanuts to nosh on. They have the little paper trays and you can take as many as you want.
I do not eat much meat to begin with and hardly ever crave a burger, but something about these guys, or these Five Guys, that makes me want a burger now! :) read more
