I'm no burger connoisseur, but this was one of the tastiest burgers I've ever tried. This place is pretty no-frills, so forget about fancy goat cheese and avocado toppings, and instead embrace the tried-but-true lettuce, tomato and pickle combinations. (If you want something more creative, you can opt for grilled peppers and onions, too.) I went with the Little Cheeseburger (one burger patty instead of two), and found it to be just the right size. The burger was juicy and not overcooked at all.
Burgers aside, the real showstopper at Five Guys is the fries. The portions are giant (trust me when I say you should split one order with a friend), and the fries are perfectly cooked so they are crispy on the outside but still a little "mushy" on the inside. I'm still dreaming about them.
If I had to make a wish list, I'd say Five Guys needs to put a milkshake on the menu. While I certainly enjoyed my $3 Nestea (note the sarcasm), I found myself craving a chocolate shake which, in my opinion, is pretty much a staple when you're ordering a burger and fries. Even a root beer float would suffice!
