| - New burger spot by work so I had to check it out. Feels like every other new burger joint. Clean, quick, friendly, and painless. Order in line, sit down, and wait for your number. No combos or value meals but they do offer free peanuts while you wait.
I opted for a cheeseburger and regular fries.
The food came out in a brown bag. I opened it up and could only see this massive pile of fries. Must have been two or three potatos worth. I finally eat my way down to the burger and pull it out. It is also pretty massive. There are tons of different toppings you can choose from for free: onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, green chile, A1 sauce, and pleanty more. They were generous with the toppings and the patties were pretty huge. The burger tasted fresh and almost homemade. The fries looked and tasted homemade as well. Thick cut with the skin still on. Everything tasted like real food not your regular fast food but you get what you pay for.
The bad part was it was just too much. I hate wasting food and threw out almost the entire cup of fries. There is seriously enough to share for three grown men. I can't imagine what the large looks like. There was also too much salt for me. It was over 10 bucks for a burger and fries. This isn't very excessive compared to a lot of the new and improved burger shops but you are paying for the better quality. While this is the norm I think it is also too much for one person. I seriously kept thinking there were enough fries for a small family and wish I could have had a smaller option.
Next time I visit I will only get fries if I have a friend or two to share them with. I will also ask for no salt. Instead of a regular sized burger I will ask for the little cheeseburger. I definitely feel Five Guys can hang with Smashburger, Culvers, Habit or any other new higher end burger joint.
The real question is do I really need to try every new burger shop that pops up??
