I'm lucky to get to spend time with my Mother daily and go for walks in the am. Everyday we walk past here and never think to check it out or try it. One day we noticed their daily special board- walked in and the rest is history. Where can get a $5 burger anywhere these days ? Exactly nowhere ! We had an amazing lunch that didn't break the bank and supported a local family run business. It's a win win for everyone. The ambiance is nice and very well kept, clean and tidy with awesome artwork showing love and appreciation for the area. I highly recommend getting the sushi tots- they're these crispy, bite-sized fried sushi rice nuggets that are tossed in distinct sauces and seasonings. Amazingly delicious when paired with their dipping sauce they come with. I had the Bacon Banh Mi Burger" that's loaded with pickled daikon and carrot slaw, cucumber, lime, jalapeño, spicy mayo, furikake, and cilantro. You've never had or tried anything like it before 9/10.

SHORT ANSWER: Yes, this is a good place, location, and the food is good. Not my favorite burger but…read morethat is just me. LOCATION: Wonderful retail center location. Lots of parking, clean, safe, and lots to do in the retail center location. FACILITY: Very nice buildout. I have been to other Five Guys before but this one seemed like it had more square footage. Very clean, nothing out of place and the peanuts are a nice touch. MENU: To me a little confusing but I ordered my toppings as requested and got the meal deal for $13.99 which seemed fair enough. I usually just order a #2 at some other burger place and I am done with thinking. FOOD PREP: Nicely made for each order, it took a bit but when it arrived it was worth it, well the fries were worth the visit. FOOD QUALITY: To me the burger was too spongy soft, a bit messy. It was only in the foil wrapper for maybe 2 minutes. I am a fan of another burger place and to me, that is how a burger should taste. But the fries, did I mention the fries? Not sure how they are made but excellent. WAITSTAFF: Workers here seemed, on this visit, to be out of gas after maybe a busy Friday lunch crowd I think. They were nice but just did not seem super happy to be there and I get it. OVERALL VALUE: Pretty good, $13.99 plus tax is fine fr a meal burger, fries, and a drink, I won't mention the other burger place that has been my favorite for 40 years but the #2 is less money, but the fries at Five Guys are by far superior. TIP: I'd say this location can get slammed and the food delivery time is kind of slow so be aware if you're in a hurry. Rating this visit on the place itself, not my preference to tastes, so in that this was a great visit.

I had the pleasure of trying a strawberry donut at Mochinut last weekend, and it was fantastic. The shop was bustling, yet the service was quick and efficient. The strawberry donut stood out among the variety of flavors with its beautiful pink hue and strawberry bits. The first bite was an explosion of flavor - the donut was soft, fluffy, and incredibly fresh. The strawberry glaze was sweet but not too sugary, highlighting the natural fruitiness. I loved the chewy texture of the donut, which was different from traditional donuts. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The ambiance of Mochinut was cozy and perfect for enjoying a sweet treat. I paired my donut with a matcha latte, which balanced the sweetness perfectly. It was a memorable experience, and I'm already planning my next visit. read more

The shop itself was clean and inviting, and the staff were friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. I highly recommend trying the "milk pebble" donut if you're looking for something new and delicious. It's a must-try for any donut lover!The donut was perfectly soft and fluffy, with a deliciously light texture that melted in my mouth. The "milk pebble" topping added a wonderful crunch and a unique flavor that set this donut apart from any other I've ever had. The balance of sweetness was just right--not too overpowering, but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. It's clear that Mochinut uses high-quality ingredients, and the care they put into their products really shines through. read more

Savoring the Hot Cheeto Corndog Delight! The first bite is a revelation - the crunch of the Cheeto coating gives way to the savory goodness of the corndog within. With its impeccable service, inviting ambiance, and culinary ingenuity, Mochinut proves to be a standout in the realm of fusion cuisine. The heat from the Cheetos adds a delightful kick that tantalizes the taste buds without overpowering the palate. It's a symphony of textures and flavors that leaves you craving for more. I haven't tried them before but they have these very soft and chewy texture and cream that just explodes inside of your mouth. read more

I come in every Sunday and always have great service but today was bad. There's was a blond haired girl at the register and another girl making drinks and when I went up there. The blond hair girl does not have customer service skills at all. I tried to buy one donut and she kept telling me no I can only buy 3 pack or more until the girl who was making drinks told her to switch spots with her and then the only I was able to buy a single donut. The blond one also made my drink and gave me a dirty look once she handed it to me. I'll come back but hopefully that doesn't happen again. read more

The donut itself is moist and fluffy, perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy strawberry glaze that envelops every inch. Eye-catching Appearance: Not only do these strawberry donuts taste heavenly, but they also look like miniature works of art. The vibrant pink hue of the glaze is visually stunning, and each donut is adorned with a sprinkle of toppings that adds an extra touch of whimsy. The texture of their strawberry donuts is just right--pillowy soft on the inside with a slight crispness on the outside, providing the perfect contrast of textures in every bite. read more
