In a world where burgers are burgers and....ok this is not a movie trailer. While Five Guys is "just a burger place", it does what it does really well. First off, you "standard burgers comes with 2 patties of artery clogging, floaty making, gout causing, sloppy, crunchy on the edge, corn-fed beef. Options are plentiful so you can have your delicious burger many ways. Like onions? mushrooms? Hate mustard? To borrow a term, you really can have it your way. If you don't like burgers, go eat grass. No really, it's call Five Guys Burgers and Fries for a reason. What do you think five dudes would do to a burger? Put endives on it and have escargot as a side item? I think not.
However, they know the the restaurant needs to be clean and the staff needs to be friendly and presentable for customers to want to come back. They've got both. Mind you, you order at the counter and when your order is ready, it comes in a brown bag. They do all this with familiar casualness and with smiling faces.
It's about six bucks for the bacon cheeseburger and four for the large fries (which, because it's freshly cut and cooked in peanut oil, taste fantastic).
I've not tried the other items on the menu yet but the burger craving will will beckon me back to Five Guys very soon.
