| - So, because I don't really have a life, I really enjoy spending time browsing Yelp reviews (seriously, like hours and hours!). I'm very particular about my food and l like to learn all I can about a restaurant/food chain before visiting. That's how I discovered Five Guys. The reviews looked good enough (many 4 & 5 star ratings) to warrant a visit from me. The food pictures were enticing as well. However, I don't live near a Five Guys, so although I've known about the establishment for quite some time, I've never made it in to try it. That changed today!
I had to run an errand where there happens to be a Five Guys in the shopping center.(Maryland PKWY) I told my daughter I wanted to try it because I knew this was probably going to be my only chance. So, it was like now or never.
My daughter and I walked in and I took notice of the number of patrons dining in/purchasing food. The place was not super full, but there was a good amount of people sitting in eating and there were a lot of people coming in to take out their orders. This is something I am super huge on. If there is not anyone there I wonder why. The place was spacious, not overly crowded, and it was clean. No dirty tables in sight and the floor was shiny. Anyways, my daughter and I made our way to the front of the order line where we were immediately greeted by a smiling cashier. Remember, this was my first time visiting so it was comforting to be acknowledged. I ordered two Bacon Cheeseburgers. I was unaware that none of the burgers come with basic condiments (lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion,etc) however the cashier informed me that I just need to let them know what I want and they would add it (no charge). The condiments menu, I thought, offered a good variety of choices. I opted for the basics mentioned above, in addition to extra mayo and mustard. The total for the two bacon cheeseburgers came to about $16 (including tax). I've never in my life paid this much for just two burgers unless I was at a sit down restaurant. However, after going over the reviews on yelp I figured it was worth it. I don't mind paying a little more for quality food and a peaceful dining experience.
So, we were given a receipt and told our order would be up shortly. My daughter and I moved to the waiting area where we were able to view up close our food being prepared. I loved this because as I stated previously I am very particular about my food and that includes how it's being prepared. The cooks wore gloves, ingredients looked fresh, and just knowing that our burgers were made to order right before our eyes (and not sitting under a warmer for who knows how long) made my anticipation grow. But...when they were done making the burgers and began wrapping them I became worried. I'd had in my mind that since I was paying roughly $8 for a burger, that they would be, well huge, especially since the bacon cheeseburger comes with a double patty. However, from a short distance, the burger appeared to be just average in size. Fine. Whatever. At this point I was expecting the worst (in terms of taste) but hoping for the best (I've had some huge let downs lately dining at new food establishments). And now to the taste test and the ultimate reason for my five star review:
BEST BURGER I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!! I unwrapped my burger, my daughter did the same and upon first glance presentation was up to par. Nice. Looked good. Next, we both took our first bite. DELICIOUS. JUICY. Flavored well. I loved it and so did my daughter. It was at that moment that I was like yes! I'm gonna love this place and I really don't mind the price because hey it's quality and for me that's something that has been hard to come by in Vegas. We wanted to eat half of our burgers there and take the other half home to have for later but we couldn't. We each devoured ours within minutes. To us it was that good!. I'll be back one day for sure.
Also, I wanted to add that the restrooms seem to be well kept; very clean, but no seat covers.
Overall, our experience was great! Definitely what I expect when I dine anywhere - cleanliness, good customer service from workers, and food that's worth the money you pay. This place met all of the marks, hands down! Would recommend. Five stars from me!
