| - I am rating this Five Guys as a comparison to others that I have been to in the Charlotte.
As a transplant from California, In-N-Out was my staple burger place. After 3 years in Charlotte, I am ready to admit that I have officially defected to Five Guys.
Of the many options for Five Guys in the area, this is the location that consistently pumps out exactly what I want. Don't get me wrong, in a crunch I'll visit the Epicenter or some other location, but this is the one that is my golden standard. This is why this Five Guys rocks it out:
- Never a line. I don't know how they do it, but of the many times I've been here, I have never stood in line (ok, maybe they are sometime finishing up with one person). Perhaps I just happen upon the place at off-peak times, but hey, that is my experience.
- Consistently well-prepared burgers. At various locations, I've noticed subtle differences in the preparation--either too greasy or not greasy enough, lacking in condiments, bun falling apart. Whenever I come here, I get perfect buns and fries with the right amount of condiments.
- The staff is awesome. I always see smiles and familiar faces.
- Vicinity to the Mallard Creek Greenway: there is no better way to follow up an 8 mile run than to regain all of those lost calories. That my dirty little secret.
