I had to sign up for Yelp just to put this issue to rest: Five Guys is overrated. It pales in comparison to BP and I don't even know how these guys are mentioned in the same breath as In-N-Out in the states (maybe their ingredient sourcing is better).
These guys have no respect for burger construction. My cheeseburger came out of the foil smushed looking like a meat pie of grease. The product vaguely reminds me of Burger King actually. Their cheese doesn't melt right and tastes a tad too sweet. The bun did not impress either. Their fries were pretty uninspiring as well and weren't consistently crispy. They reminded me of the fries from an arena I used to play hockey at. Love the fries in the bag gimmick, me and my date ended up with a whole other serving of fries! Props for using peanut oil too.
The patty is pretty good. But you can definitely taste the difference when the meat is freshly ground and seasoned. I noticed that their patties come pre-seasoned out of the box...ugh.
Overall, Five Guys feels too much like a chain for me and I won't be going back. Everything I observed in the kitchen from the ingredients to the cooking processes did not display anything that justified me spending 14 bucks.
