| - I'd been waiting for this Five Guys to open ever since they put the signage up a few weeks ago, and was pumped to see the 'now open' sign when I drove by. I was able to convince the wife to go later for dinner.
Walked in around 5:30 or so, and there was only one person in front of us in line, and the restaurant (and nice patio) was about 50% full. We ordered quickly and got situated at our table before I went up to get drinks. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of drinks that were available, I counted 14 different fountain drinks (including Cherry Coke, Mello Yello, Orange Fanta and the other usual Coke stand-bys) as well as a Gold Peak dispenser with three different flavors. I also thought it was nice that all over the restaurant there were boxes of peanuts for patrons to enjoy while waiting for their meals to come out. My assumption was that it takes awhile to get the food. Well, I was wrong on that one, because my food was up pretty quickly (less than five minutes). I'd imagine if it was really busy it'd take take a touch longer, but for this visit, it was good.
I had a cheese burger (which was double pattied), the wife had a cheese veggie sandwich and we split the smallest size of fries. Now this may have been the smallest size...but we could have probably fed four people off the amount that we got, it was a very generous portion. Good flavor, but they weren't crisp. I thought they could have been cooked a little more, the wife thought maybe they had sat out for a bit. The burger, I liked, meat seemed nice a fresh, with good flavor. The bun was fresh, but I've had better. Off one serving, if I had to choose between In N Out or Five Guys forever, I'd probably give In N Out the nod, but this burger is definitely bigger/heartier than what you are going to get at In N Out. I could see Five Guys growing on me with a few more visits.
I had previous heard that Five Guys was kind of expensive...I thought it was a pretty good value for our two sandwiches, fries and one soda (wife got water)...less than $15. (Note: I did think it odd that there was a tip bucket up front...I mean, there isn't a waiter, I had to go get my own food and I bused my own table...I wouldn't tip at McDonald's...).
Anyways, this is a solid 3.5 for me. I could definitely see this moving up to a 4 after another visit, but I wasn't blown away this time. I am excited they are here and a solid burger option for me.
