| - This is my first experience with Five Guys Burgers. Coming from the Bay Area where I reside, I have a location that's about a 15 min drive. I would always drive by and never bothered to drop in. I just been hearing too many mixed reviews about this place back home. I just had to try it for myself.
When I stepped in the restaurant, it was packed and busy. It was a pretty BUSY weekend. The line was moving at a decent rate. Basically the concept I got from this place is Build-It-Yourself Burger or Hot Dog. That was interesting to me. When I got to the counter to order, I decided to go with the cheeseburger with "The Works" toppings. This included a bountiful amount of toppings (Mayo, Grilled Onions, Lettuce, Tomato, Ketchup, etc.) I also added in some jalapenos. With the burger ordered, I ordered a side of Cajun fries.
When I got my order, I knew it was not going to be a healthy meal. You can see grease soak through the paper bag. Since the restaurant was packed and no seats available, I took my order to go and brought it back to my hotel. Once I got to my hotel, I got straight to business. The burger tasted very good. Next time I got to lay off the multiple additions of condiments since it kinda killed the burger's true flavor. As for the Cajun fries, OMG they were pretty good. I think they would have been better if they were crispier.
The experience of the burger was OK. I'll possibly try this place out again in the West Coast if I have the urge to build my burger. Better yet I'll throw a BBQ!
