More of a 2.5 but A-Ok does sum it up.
I'm embarrassed to admit I have already been to 5G 2X in 2 weeks! I got so excited when I realized this U.S. joint finally crossed the border.
To be very clear, this is NOT the Five Guy we know down in the States. It's definitely close to the same concept but no cigar.
My burger(s) were good but not great. These guys don't leave the cheese on long enough (it doesn't melt or warm up), some of the ingredients are cold (read tomatoes), the buns weren't toasted the second time I went, and there aren't different cheese choices (can't recall if 5Gs in NY, DC or FL did either).
It's a bit pricey for a 5G burger (come on! don't blame the exchange rate)... but it beats the Burger Bar further up on college (ewww) and the fast(er) food chains (Mickey who?).
I RECOMMEND: Given there's a GBK not too far on Church & East, and a half-way decent Big Smoke Burger in Eaton centre, don't waste your time on one of these bad boys. It's a not-so-cheap thrill that will make you wish you'd stopped one door shy at Chipotle's instead.
EXTRA TIP: If you didn't catch the GBK** reference, see my other review (Great Burger Kitchen)
