| - I apologize if this review is a little scatter-brained, my mind is still twitching from the burger induced mind-gasm this place gave me.
I'm going to attempt to write this review the same way Five Guys treats it's business: keep things short, sweet, simple and effective.
The burgers are among the best I've ever tasted, are made with exactly the toppings you want (no need to worry about employees being so used to 'their way' they forget to hold an ingredient or anything of that nature).
The fries are AMAAAAAZING. I haven't had the cajun style (because the notion somewhere scares me) but nobody in this city does plain old french fries better.
The prices, while higher than your typical big chain fast food places, get you about 3 times the ammount of food you'd expect (if you plan on getting fries, bring a second person to split an order with).
They don't offer a lot of fancy side dish options, they don't do veggie burgers or a million others kinds of meat like some places. They don't have Boogie's impressive milk shake menu (or any, for that matter) or Peters' rich Calgary history... but they don't need ANY of this. They do one thing very, very, VERY (have I said very yet?) well.
If this place were a few blocks closer to the train station, I'd be even happier... but for the sake of my diet, I'm also kind of glad they're not... because I don't have NEARLY the impulse control to walk past Five Guys on a regular basis.
Five Guys, I love you! : D
