I had heard good things about five guys burgers and fries from several of my friends, but I never made the trek to the location on the mill ave. I figured I would get around to it one day, but didn't think it was worth it to drive 15 miles for a burger. Well, once the hollywood video went out of business and I saw that they were putting a five guys right next to where I work, I decided I had to go and see what all the fuss was about.
I decided that I would get the full experience on my first go, so I got a regular burger all the way (with all the toppings in black). The burger itself was very good, the veggies were crisp and fresh, and the patty juicy. The bread was a little squished, but I guess that's part of the charm (who said burgers are supposed to be pretty anyway? Smashburger I'm looking at you).
I ordered the regular fries and my friend got the cajun. The fries were my least favorite part of the meal, they were too soggy. After getting some advice from a friend, I was told that the frys were soggy because I left them in the bag. Which makes sense, if you leave them in the bag they steam, and the steam condensates on the fries and makes them soggy. So on my next trip I ripped the bag open like a raging hulk and pulled out the cup, and alas, my fries were deliciously crispy! Problem solved. The cajun fries weren't anything to scream about, basically just fries covered in pepper. I would skip them and go for the regular fries. I don't know if the location here offers it, but the five guys in idaho falls has fry sauce, and there's nothing like fry sauce with a big bag full of fries (who doesn't like to mix ketchup with mayonnaise, it's amazing!) :-)
Overall, if I had my choice, I would get a five guys burger and in-n-out fries. That would be perfect. But overall, I think the burgers here are great, and I will be going back. And seeing as how there's always room for improvement, especially considering it's a burger shack that doesn't even offer milk shakes, 4 stars.
