| - Man, I guess I just don't get it. I've tried this place twice now, and was unimpressed both times. I really don't understand the excitement over this place.
Just another example of how Eastern transplants to the Phoenix area clamor for anything from "BACK HOME." Plus, this place is way too expensive for an "Order at the Counter" burger joint.
Went in last time with a buddy: 2 REG burgers, 1 REG order of fries to split, NO DRINKS - $17.02 WOW! Not to mention (but I will), that it took over 15 minutes to get my order, when this place was nearly empty!!!
The burger was bland and overcooked. The bacon was burnt and crumbled, not even in strips, but looked like somebody just put some charred bac-o-bits on it. High marks for the freshness of the toppings, but so what. After all, it's not called "5 Guys Toppings," is it.
And the fries couldn't be worse if you were actually trying to make them BAD. Just a bland, greasy mess. Yuck.
Maybe, if somebody offers to buy me lunch and insists on 5 Guys, I'll give them another shot. Otherwise; NO WAY!
