| - Lets start with the positives. The staff here is super friendly. Everyone behind the counter is in good spirits and looks to be enjoying their time as much as possible during work hours. They also have free peanuts upon arrival, much to the like of the Teakwoods bar establishment in the valley. Those would be the two positives encompassing the lack of just wiping the floor with Five Guys and giving them the one star rating.
I ordered the normal burger, which is actually two patties as opposed to the little burger which is just one patty. I added the bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions lettuce, tomato, and light mayo. I made sure to ask for light mayo, because there does not need to a gallon of it on my hamburger, like most places in town like to garner. Of course I am going to try the french fries, so an order of those went on the bill to conclude. After a short wait, I collected my order and proceeded to survey the land.
The hamburger is tasteless, there is no other way to say it. It is not good. Its not an opinion, this burger is just plain garbage. Perhaps the staff could take the half gallon of salt they are putting on the fries and move a partial amount to the meat, because there is quite simply no seasoning and thus no taste. Ah yes, a nice treat, my light mayo was in fact slathered all over the top and bottom of the bun, always fun to take the mass napkins given to me to deconstruct the burger, wipe off superfluous mayo and return burger to original state. I took two bites and through the burger away, its just not good.
The fries are decent, I suppose. Maybe I was just really hungry from not eating the burger I had such high hopes to enjoy. So much for Five Guys, total bust.
Note of review, the establishment does happen to have those cool tech soda machines that let you mix all sorts of different soft drinks together. I made a 50/50 coke zero lemon/lime mix.
Take my advice, avoid this place and make the trek to Zinburger, you will not be sorry.
