Did I miss something when I took my first bite from one of Five Guys hamburger? I heard many good things from this burger and fries joint but I was slightly disappointed. I thought I was going to bite into this mind blowing, oh my god I'm gonna have an orgasm burger. Alas, that did not happen haha... No doubt about it I praise this place for ultimate freshness (thumbs up all the way). They make their own beef patties and hand cut their fries which are deep fried in peanut oil. My bf and I ordered a regular 'hamburger' which is two patties (about the diameter of a cup) stacked on top of each other for $6.49 each and goes up by a dollar for a cheeseburger or bacon burger. The cheapest burger on their menu is their 'little hamburger' which I assume is just one patty for only $5.00. This is a tad pricey for a burger to me, but I guess this is what you get for freshness.
You have a choice of any free toppings which include: mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, jalapeno peppers (freshly cut), green peppers, A.1 sauce, bbq sauce, or hot sauce. We also got a large fries for $4.59 which was enough to feed two people. They also have a choice in sandwiches such as the veggie sandwich, cheese veggie or grilled cheese for under $4.00.
Fries were hot and tasty (nothing too special) and the burger was pretty massive; I had troubles fitting the entire thing in my mouth. Have a ton of napkins ready especially if you decided to add sauce and half the toppings on the list. It can be quite messy eating it. I liked the grilled mushrooms as it had a sweet yet smokey flavor to it. The beef itself was a tad bland and the juices were no longer there since they squish each patty down on the grill which is a definite *no no* if you want to keep in the juices. Overall, you can definitely taste the freshness in their ingredients but It tastes like a regular hamburger to me that I could make equally as well (maybe better) and for cheaper at home.
I came here on a Saturday at 2:00pm and you would think the place would die down. However, when I walked in all I could see were filled tables and a lineup with about 10 or so people ahead of me. There is a old school diner feel to it with a red, white, and black colour scheme and an open kitchen with people yelling out orders, dressed in their red aprons. There are stacks of potato sacks and peanut oil in the middle of the room, and giant signs of rave comments and reviews posted up on the wall. While you're waiting you can also grab some free peanuts so I found it kind of disgusting to see peanut shells all over the floor. On a busy day we waited about 20 minutes to order and wait for our order to be made.
I recommend a visit for the novelty and for a taste of fresh burgers (which is lacking in the fast food business) but there is nothing super special with the flavors of their burgers.
