| - Five Guys is burger comfort food bliss.
Yes, they only have American cheese available, but like I said... they are not going for artisanal burgers. Just damn good, hot, gooey, comforting, cholesterol-mainlining burgers.
A soft, sesame-seed bun is basically there just to keep the guts together, which is the way I like my burgers (and my pulled pork sandwiches). I am not here for a 7-herb artisanal crusty baguette. I am here for the burger.
The beef patties are flavorful and greasy and the toppings generous but appropriately portioned to the size of the sandwich. When you order fries, you get a normal sized cup of fries and then another pound or so of fries thrown loose into your food bag. A "regular" or small order of fries is enough for two people to split. No individual has any business ordering the large.
Speaking of fries, the cajun fries are a favorite among my coworkers, but even the regular fries are great! Some say the fries are better than the burgers, but that's just ridiculous...
I agree with Angela. If they served milkshakes, I'd have to exchange my wardrobe for one or two sizes bigger, and I'd have a seat with my name on it at Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
