2.5 Stars rounded up due to the yummy fries.
My co-workers have been eating 5 guys since this location opened and fantastic aromas filled the office every time. Today was finally my day. I must admit, I was a little disappointed.... maybe my expectations were too high.
The burgers are oversized with a regular containing two patties. I prefer a single burger - a double burger just has too much meat in my opinion. You get to pick toppings but nothing really out of the ordinary. Jalapenos were probably the most exotic topping. I find the burgers taste very similar to Wendy's. Final conclusion, a simple average burger.
The fries are good though. Clearly home made as you have to pass a stack of potato bags on the way to the ordering counter. They come in different sizes but the regular is a good portion size. You can get spicy or regular. I had regular but tried my friends order of spicy fries - both were very good. The fries are a little greasy and staining my brown take-out bag with grease.
Including a diet coke (I had to cut some calories) my order was about $12 which is above average but as previously noted, portions are huge. Service was fast and efficient and there's a lot of seating available.
Bonus - complimentary peanuts.
I'm in no rush to return. My search continues for a "specialized" burger joint that compares with my fav. Harvey's burger (and at half the price).
