Huh, am kind of puzzled at all the harsh 1-2 star reviews. This place is about the same distance…read moreto my home as the Medford (Station Landing) Five Guys, but the physical location is a lot more pleasant and traffic on the way there is a lot lighter and less stressful. Quality of food is about the same as far as I can tell---yes they are a chain, so you can expect pretty consistent quality and know what you're getting. (The bacon is a bit dry and overcooked for MY tastes, but I've never found it much different at any other Five Guys.) That said, Burlington is a good bit further out than Medford and a good bit more expensive to live in, so they probably do have a harder time hiring and retaining the minimum wage employees they need, doh that's called capitalism folks. Result being that someone like me who eats here maybe once every 2-3 weeks, never sees any staff faces that he recognizes from the previous visit. And sometimes yes, they do get slammed and you do have to stand and wait for your order even though you placed it online and arrived in-store 5-10 minutes after the promised "ready to pick up" time. It's not a big deal to me, and still beats driving out to the Medford location. Bottom line: Their $11 made-to-order bacon double cheeseburger and huge-portion fresh-cut fries still beat the living daylights out of the $18-25 burger and fries (usually made from tasteless frozen pre-formed patties and frozen pre-cut fries, bleh) you find at most other taverns and bars in Burlington, Arlington, Cambridge, Lexington, etc.---the only advantage those places have is booze, if you were dying to have an overpriced-and-mediocre corporate beer with your overpriced-and-mediocre Sysco bar-burger. (Makes me wonder if some local competitors have paid a reputation-management company to plant a bunch of negative reviews of this location.)

The food at five guys is so delicious. I love their home, cut fries, and the quality of the meat on…read morethe burgers is so great all the ingredients always seem fresh and I think their service is also great and it's great for sit down too.

Another excellent double shackburger at a different location, though I think I'll have to pass on…read morethe chocolate shake next time -- it just wasn't for me. Maybe I'll do half-vanilla on the next visit, or just stick with the 50/50 sweet tea lemonade. This one is located on the exterior of the mall, and stays open even after all the other mall shops close. Huge plus!

Shake Shack offers the familiar fast casual burger experience the chain is known for, making it an…read moreeasy stop while shopping or if you are looking for a quick meal. We walked into a modern, clean space with self-order kiosks that made ordering simple, and the open dining area gave it a more polished feel than a typical fast food restaurant. The layout was practical and comfortable, with enough seating to accommodate the steady flow of mall traffic, and even during busier times, the overall operation felt organized, though wait times could increase when the mall was crowded. The burgers are still the highlight of the menu. We ordered a ShackBurger and found the juicy smashed beef patty with the soft potato bun, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce coming together well. The double burger was a better value since the single felt a little small for a full meal. The chicken sandwich was another solid option, with a crispy coating and tender chicken that made it one of the stronger non-burger choices on the menu. The sides and drinks rounded out the meal nicely. The crinkle-cut fries were good on their own, and the cheese fries were a popular choice if you do not mind the extra richness. The hand-spun shakes remained one of the biggest reasons to visit, with seasonal flavors regularly appearing alongside the classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry options. The lemonades and frozen drinks were also worth considering if you were looking for something lighter. The service during our visit was friendly, and the ordering process through the kiosks made everything straightforward. Food was brought to our table once it was ready, which added a little more convenience compared to traditional fast food restaurants. During peak lunch and dinner hours, there could be a short wait before your order was prepared, but it generally moved at a reasonable pace considering how busy the location got. The team handled the volume well, and the food came out hot and well assembled. Overall, Shake Shack is a dependable option for burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and shakes while visiting the mall. The quality is consistently good, the restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the menu offers enough variety for a quick meal. While it is priced a little higher than traditional fast food, the better ingredients and overall experience make it a place worth returning to when we are in the area.

Chicken places are popping up EVERYWHERE. I still can't put my finger on what caused the resurgence…read moreof tendies but that's the life timeline we are currently in. I've been to several and the bigger conglomerates are the ones that have been letting me down the most. In, steps Frangos.... HOLY CRAP WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THIS CHICKEN is pretty much me every time I try what they are offering. Over fries or in a standard basket, doesn't matter because it's super-bomb! Everyone messes up on the juiciness but you'd think this was marinated for at least three days in some god-like buttermilk mixture because it's NEVER a problem here that you get dried out strips. It pairs well with that Frangos sauce you want to take home and possibly bathe in or slurp up with literally anything else out of your fridge. Situated in an old breakfast spot that was easily my favorite within a 10 mile radius and is missed tremendously, I believe the old owner's sons turned this into what it is now and really didn't change much of the decor at all. Hit up the kiosk or go to the friendly staff manning two registers. Even on weeknights, 75% of the tables are filled with everyone from a group of Wilmington teenagers to young families and their kids gobbling down the poultry. It's vibrant and hopping at all hours inside. I'm a huge sucker for atmosphere, so when you hear the mostly 90's pop blaring out behind the kitchen's bluetooth speaker, you know you've come to the right place. Even that toast they are serving alongside the standard dinners *chefs kiss*. My goodness, don't ever change, Frangos.

I was working in the area and wanted to get some lunch. I did a quick search on Yelp and found lots…read moreof different options. I felt Frangos had good reviews and offered something different than I normally have. The place is located in small strip mall at one end. I parked right in front and walked inside. There was seating to the right and the order counter was to the left. I walked up to the order counter and checked out the menu. Of course, it was primarily chicken "fingers". They also offer a sandwich and a wrap. It is a pretty basic menu for fried chicken fingers. I decided to order the Trio combo meal which includes three chicken fingers, a slice of Texas toast, fries, choice of sauce and a drink. They asked if I wanted to make it spicy for $1.49 more. I asked how spicy it was and she said they could do light spice. I said let's do light spice then. They said they would bring my order out to me. There were a few other people seated but I grabbed an empty booth after I filled my drink. A short while later someone came over and brought my food. It looked really good and I dug in. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist inside. The light spice but perfect for me. The fries were of the thinner variety, but not shoestring. I used the ketchup packets on the table for my fries. I did not use the BBQ sauce I got with my meal. I found it a little odd that it came with a slice of Texas toast but I ate it anyway and it was good. Overall this was a good stop and not something I normally would have tried. You should check them out.
