| - First time inside a Five Guys, and probably will be my last.
The place gets 3 stars for: Cleanliness, unique decor/concept (free peanuts everywhere), and simple, easy to read menu.
The problem is, their over-hyped burger. This is supposed to be the best burger in town, and it very clearly isn't. The fries were pretty good, however. But the burger, for $9, you'd expect real cheese. Not so, it's processed. The patties were cooked well done. No flavor on the meat whatsoever (no salt, no pepper). The standard "everything" toppings included mushrooms, onions, pickles, mustard, mayo... just not a good flavor profile. The bun was very reminiscent of Carl's Jr. sesame seed bun, so nothing special there either.
All in all, the place looked promising, the peanuts were a neat touch, the menu looked decently done, but ultimately they didn't deliver on taste. If the burger was $5, I might be back (in much the same way I return to Burger King every now and then), but for these prices I'm going to a sit down restaurant!
