    Bacon Cheeseburger

    $12 for this piece of bullshit and it was supposed to come with cheese as well, thanks five guys

    Grilled cheese cheeseburger, Little Cajun Fries, and an Oreo Milkshake.

    I ordered a grilled cheese cheeseburger, Cajun fries, and an Oreo milkshake. The milkshake was great (had lots of Oreo in it), the fries were ok because they were kind of cold. However, I was expecting much more from the burger. Although the ingredients( vegetables) are very fresh, the patty itself has no flavor at all.This in turn makes the but very bland. Would go back for the milkshake alone.

    Talk about the greatest rip off in Ithaca. i went there with my granddaughter today and it was slow. My granddaughter ordered a double cheeseburger and milk shake it cost 17.00.What! It took over 20 minutes to get her order. I did not eat because a cheeseburger, small fries and bottle of water along with my granddaughters cost $35.00. What???? Plus the place is dirty. I am so upset. Why play these prices when there are much better places to eat here in Ithaca that don't rob you. A picture of a crappy meal that cost a small fortune. Don't waste your time or money.

    Horrible food and customer service. Disappointed! the camillus one is way better in Syracuse.

    I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for a quick burger ... I'll even dare to say that it's better than Shake Shack in NYC [to the potential horror of all the students in Ithaca that are from the city]! Mainly because less than $10 will get you plenty of food for one person w/tons of delicious fries left over. =) I was so excited to try Five Guys for the very first time - right here in Ithaca, on their opening day! I heard some mixed reviews from friends about this place in different cities, but I was quite impressed with the quality of their burgers & fresh-cut fries! For the cost ($8-10 for a HUGE one-person meal), I think it's a really good deal: you get to choose whatever toppings/condiments you want (and as many as you want) on your burger, from jalapeños to grilled mushrooms. Plus a regular sized fry could very well feed 2-3 people ... especially when you have a giant burger to finish! The Cajun fries had a kick, but were even good as leftovers for the next week! A regular burger comes with 2 patties, but I thought the mini (one patty) with all the fixings + sharing fries with my other two friends, and a drink, was more than enough for a meal. I'll be back there soon, since all my friends keep wanting to go!

    I was lucky enough to have a friend invite me to the Five Guys "Friends & Family" training night, right before Five Guys opened in Ithaca, and they're off to a fantastic start! Five Guys focuses on just hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries, and they pride themselves on quality and fresh ingredients. There's even a sign to tell you where today's potatoes came from. (Tonight's were from Sugar City, Idaho.) The burgers are all in the $3-6 range, a large fries will easily feed three, and it'll be easy to feed the family for $5-8 per person. For a meal at fast-food prices, this is outstanding. The burger's top-notch, and the hand-cut fries are hot and crisp. (The Cajun ones have a real kick, too.) I've written more at 14850 Dining, and definitely encourage everyone to visit Five Guys. http://dining.14850.com/reviews/r_fiveguys.html

    Decent burgers for the price and pretty clean for a fast food restaurant. The fries are nothing special.

We ordered the chocolate strawberry waffle, Brie French brioche, a Belgian waffle, the baked apple pancake and a side of chicken with sweet garlic sauce. Everything was delicious!!

When they brought out my food, the server bringing out my food, asked if I would like any water. When she returned with the water, she asked if I would like any avocado since I didn't get ham. Anytime the servers we go to another table with coffee they would swing back around and check to see if I wanted more coffee. It felt like the servers enjoyed their jobs and were not trying to take any shortcuts and were genuinely trying to make it a positive experience. The food was good. Overall, the food wasn't amazing. It was not the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had in my life and the poached eggs felt flat and somewhat small. However, there hashbrowns were probably the best I've ever had. They were very crispy on the outside. Like ASMR crispy. But flaky and buttery on the inside. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. It was very cold inside on the day that I was there, but it was also very hot outside and so this may have been deliberate. Aesthetically it's very pleasant. The bathroom is very clean and has a really nice changing table in it which is a plus for parents.

After a long hiatus, I finally made my triumphant return to North, this time with my girlfriend, to relive the magic and, of course, put their food to the test. We went for the Tompkins Burger ($8.49) -- a classic setup with onions, tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce. No sauce included, but that's a choose-your-own-adventure situation at the condiment station. My girlfriend gave it a 7/10, and honestly, that feels right. It's a solid, no-nonsense burger that exceeded my size expectations (which is half the battle with late-night food). I also really love their the boneless wings. Specifically, the sweet chili and honey mustard flavors. Maybe I'm biased (I would eat chicken for every meal if society allowed it), but these wings slap. Flavorful, saucy, and the perfect balance of sweet and tangy -- 10/10 would recommend :) Beyond the hot food, Nasties is the ultimate convenience stop. Need snacks? Drinks?

Collegetown bagels is the most popular bagel spot in Ithaca, but I don't find nostalgia in the bagels, primarily due to the tougher texture. However, I do really enjoy their spicy Italian bagel and rosemary salt bagel (although a bit too salty to my liking), and especially their cream cheeses. My favorite has to be their parsley-garlic cream cheese which is loaded with garlic and the freshness of parsley. Other honorable mentions include veggie and bacon-scallion cream cheese. I've had a few of their sandwiches as well. Their Havana Breeze doesn't include much ham or pickles, and the bread was quite greasy on inside and outside which made the sandwich overall very heavy. Their Tour de France has roasted turkey, Brie, apples, honeycup mustard, bacon on multigrain bread (I substituted for focaccia. The bread was soft, but I would've liked it more if it had more seasoning (like some Italian/herb seasoning). The sandwich is cold, but I think having it warmed up/toasted would meld the flavors together better. There was a generous amount of bacon and Brie, but the overall sandwich just didn't seem homogenous. Perhaps a sauce or jam (like a bacon-apple jam) would've helped to bind the flavors more. Lastly, their earl grey hot cocoa consisted of an earl grey tea bag in watered down hot coca which was a bit disappointing. Overall, not the best bagels I've ever had, but their cream cheeses are delightful. I'll still go back to try their baked goods and other sandwiches.

They serve classic all beef, grilled, hot dogs with any of the following items kosher New York City sauerkraut, freshly grilled onions and peppers, spicy pepper relish, onions, classic pickle relish, Nancy's mustard, and of course ketchup and yellow mustard. They even have veal dogs, Italian pork sausages, and chicken spiedies (grilled chicken cubes in a hotdog bun -- spiedies are an upstate NY invention). I have tried all of these options and they are all fantastic, but I am a purest and love the kosher all beef dog with grilled peppers and a touch of sauerkraut the best. You can also purchase frito-lay bags of chips and bottled/canned drinks. He uses local wieners ...tee hee....from Hofmann's franks based out of Syracuse New York. Lou notes that he thinks that "central New Yorkers prefer the grilled flavor to the classic New York city steamed or boiled hot dogs." This is why he switched to a gas powered grill in 2001. I can't agree more, I love the grill. Lou is super friendly, and he'll chat with you as he prepares your dogs. Its $2 per hot dog. One dog is a great snack, 2 dogs or 1 chicken spiedie is a great meal. I never "plan" to eat here as the hours are dependent on the wether, I usually see them while walking around the commons and can't resist.
