Five Guys Burgers and Fries finally opened up a new location in Scarborough. Now the people in the East end or people that travels only on TTC, can give their burgers a try.
If you ask me if Five Guys Burgers are all hype? In a way yes.. especially if you are not crazy about pan fried patties.
I love the open kitchen, you can see all these guys working like a factory assemble lines.. (there were more than 5 guys preparing all the burgers fresh when ordered!)
Hamburger ($6.49) with grilled onions/mushrooms, jalapeno peppers, Mayo and lettuce
- Love how you can pick all the toppings and create your own burger..mine is the spicy version usually unless I am sharing it with a friend. jalapeno peppers was really weak tasting...
- Patties was a little dry since cooked well done and a little bland without any seasonings... some can argue that by doing so, can taste beef in it most primitive form...
Five Guys' burger is not going to be the burger that I daydreamed about... I love my burger's patties charcoal grilled with seasonings and this thick patties that just cooked medium... pink inside...(not going to find that in Toronto ..so I daydream about it!)
BTW, your burger might take a little while to get ready.. I guess you can always eat some whole shelled peanuts while you wait!! I hope you are not allergic to nuts!
One big difference between 5 guys chain in US and Toronto, no calories information are posted with the menu... If you see how much calories those little burgers has.. I don't think you would have get your side order of fries with it!!
