To be honest my expectations were high after so many people said "Five Guys is the best they've ever had." I should have set my standards a little lower...okay a lot lower. D and I went for lunch before he went back to work and decided to try it after hearing many people recommend it. Here's what we ordered:
2 little bacon cheeseburgers, both with mayo, lettuce, pickles, one had bbq sauce and the other had a1 steak sauce and grilled onions. We also got 2 drinks and 2 medium cajun fries. It was $30 so we expected amazing Vera's quality type burgers.
The quality did not meet the price we paid...
For the burger itself:
-The burgers were only slightly larger than a standard little cheeseburger at McDonalds
-the patties tasted exactly like McDonalds cheeseburger patties
-the cheese was halfway between Cheezewiz and Kraft Singles consistency and flavour
-my so-called 'grilled onions' were white and raw, lukewarm at best
-neither of us could taste the bbq or steak sauce at all
-the burger itself looked like it had been sat on it was so squished
For the fries:
-first of all $4.19 is a bloody large amount to pay for a medium fries
-if you are going to serve fries in more than one size please use containers that fit the requested quantity (there was so much
overflow from the little cups they give you that we had to dig through the excess to find our burgers in the takeout bag they give you even when you're eating there). They should have given us either 4 cups full of fries or bigger cups. or forwarned us how big the portion was and we could have split - we did make it clear that we had never eaten there before when we asked about the burger sizes.
Otherwise the fries were decent if slightly overcooked.
All in all we left feeling like we could have had better value for our money at any cheap fastfood joint, and we really wish that someone would open a Vera's out here...now those are good burgers worth $15/head.
