I have been sick and was really craving a burger and fries. I have been driving past the new Five Guys on 44th and today seemed like the perfect day to try.
The service was actually really good and the employees were very friendly. Also, just a side note they have the really cool new Coke machines that allows you to mix flavor into your fountain drink as seen on Food Network.
The problem is the food. We got 2 burgers, hot dog and fries. The fries I thought were decent but over salted. The hot dog was nothing special and the burger was a let down. I was really expecting a in-n-out style burger and walked away with a smashburger experience. All Hype no follow thru. I was also shocked that a place that prides themselves on their burgers and relying on one product they don't ask how you would like it cooked. Even when ordering a burger at Chile's I am asked how I would like it done
I have to say I was surprised, seeing as they are Zagat rated I was expecting a lot more. The concept is fresh, clean and I like the peanuts you can munch on while you stand in line and wait for your order. Just overall I think they need to improve the quality of their seasoning and style.
