| - This review was of my second time eating at Five Guy's.
I had five guys once before - my first experience wasn't good because I didn't know what toppings to get and the place was packed, so I was a little rushed into choosing which toppings I wanted to order.
I went to Five Guy's at 9pm on a Wednesday. The service here was great. The girl at the counter was cute and helped me choose my order after I told her I just ate and was looking for something small.
The four stars, however is for the quality of the food. I like that they make the burgers right when you order, which takes about 4-5 minutes. You can customize what you want on the burger - onions, ketchup, green peppers, etc. The burgers are pretty good for $5, but with fries (regular = $2.89) and a drink (regular = $1.99), it can add up really quick to $10. The quality of the burger though is similar to something you would find at a burger joint like Max and Erma's or Red Robin, except slightly smaller and you don't have to pay tip - which is a good thing. They overloaded my order with a lot of fries, which I couldn't finish (which is something I never do) and had to take home. The fries were mediocre in taste - could use more salt; I prefer Wendy's fries to Five Guy's.
The quality of the food is overall great; taste isn't the best but decent. For those who say it is the "In-N-Out" of the midwest, I disagree. However, it is a decent burger.
Lastly, I agree with the other yelp comments on the employees, who can be a bit loud. The cook seemed to be yelling and talking to the other employees throughout my whole meal. Not a huge problem, but just something to note.
