| - Solid 4 stars for this new, open since March, location just south of Cleveland Hopkins airport just off the interstate.
This is one of the larger Five Guys locations I've seen, and it is standard FG burgers (read: very good). A cheeseburger all-the-way with medium fries and a drink will set you back $12.58. The burger is a hot mess. That's a good thing - hot and a mess, with all the toppings piled high and dripping off in wonderful cheesiness, challenging you to get them in your mouth before they fall! The burger itself is only mildly seasoned if at all. Ingredients, including the bun, are all first quality and very fresh.
Five Guys fries are a mountain of potato goodness. Even the regular size fries will feed you and a friend, maybe more. Some not so good news - they're not my fave fries. They are fresh cut and tasty with some skin on, but they are a wide cut and somewhat limp compared to the competition. So they're good, but not great.
The staff here is very friendly, efficient and the store is clean. I was approached three times during a recent visit to see how my food was and if I needed anything. Heck, I don't get that good of service at some full serve places.
California's In N Out still makes a better no-nonsense burger (make mine double double animal style), and their fries are crispier and tastier, too, but unless you find yourself magically whisked from Cleveland to LA, Five Guys Burgers are about as good as it gets in these parts for fast food burgers. Expensive, but hey you're worth it... Enjoy!
