| - There is nothing I love more than a good burger, plain and simple, the way God and America intended it to be, and Five Guys delivers. With the new, trendy "gourmet" burger trend sweeping through Scottsdale, a plain old burger was just what the doctor ordered to get me out of my "goat cheese and grilled pineapple with arugula" burger rut. Went today with a pal during lunch time and holy moley, it was CROWDED! You wonder where everyone in Arizona is in the summer? At Five Guys, sheesh! My pal insisted I order the "little burger"... and even though I told her I was ravenous, she said, "no, you want the LITTLE burger". Expecting a slider sized burger, I was surprised to see it was completely normal sized, maybe even a bit bigged than an In and Out. I was also pleasently surprised because they say their burgers are "well-done and juicy". I myself, like my burgers still moo-ing. Well, I could barely tell they were well done, and Holy Mary, it was the juiciest burger I had ever had! The fries were hot, fresh, and still had the potato skin on, amazing. It is a little on the pricey side. I should have ordered the small fries, but like I said, I was starving, and ordered the big ones. My friend had a hot dog and it looked pretty good. My fave thing: endless topping INCLUDED! Wahooooo! It is definetly a great place to check out, maybe next time I will just get take out, cause it was a bit crowded. I did love the old fashioned feel, with the potato sacks everywhere and the open kitchen with fry cooks chettering away in their crazy kitchen jargon. Being from Chicago, a lot of places have open kitchens and to me, it is a fun thing to watch the interection and the burger flipping. Great place, go, and you will be happy to have a good, plain, old fashioned BURGER!!! NO GOAT CHEESE, YAY!!!
