| - For a gal who's not a huge fan of red meat, Five Guys has made a burger lover out of me. I've been to two locations - the one on Val Vista, and just yesterday I visited the new one in the food court at Scottsdale Fashion Square. Both have been awesome!
Like I said, I'm not normally a burger eater. But my boyfriend is a Five Guys fan, and his son has recently developed a taste for cow. So I decided to be a good sport and give it a try. I have to say, one of the things I love most about Five Guys is that you can get any & all toppings added for free. Yep, FREE. Now, the burgers aren't exactly cheap, but still, free toppings are a nice perk. The place is very casual - you order from the counter, and they call your number when it's ready.
I ordered the "junior" cheeseburger, which was pretty darn big! The regular burgers have two patties, so make sure you're really hungry if you order one. I added lettuce, ketchup, mustard, mayo, grilled onions, and pickles to mine. Yum! It's a good thing they wrap the burgers in foil so you can unwrap a little at a time - the toppings fall out otherwise! We got fries the first time we went, and they were awesome, but this time we knew we probably wouldn't have room, so we just stuck with the burgers.
In summary: the buns were soft, the meat was perfectly cooked, and we all left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. For a simple burger joint, you can't ask for much more than that. :)
