Five Guys Burger and Fries

Five Guys is the best burger I've ever had, and I love the variety of fresh toppings you can add for free.  (The meat is NEVER frozen, and you can really taste the difference.)

I've never heard someone criticize the taste of a burger here.  The only criticism I hear, and it is one that I hear often, is that it is overpriced.  People say, "Man, a meal here is ten bucks!"  

This is not the case. There are two different burger sizes at FG.  There is a single and a double.  The double is called the hamburger, and the single is called a little hamburger.  The single is enough for anyone!  It is larger than an Angus burger at McDonald's, and it is cheaper.  Sure, you can order the double, and I have before, but it is just too much food. Fries feed at least two.  And I don't order a drink, as water is free and I prefer that.  So when I go with a friend, we both get single burgers (less than $4 each), and a regular fries (between $2-3).  So both of us eat fresh, delicious hamburgers and a ton of fries for $10-$11 TOTAL.  It's totally reasonable.

The menu is simple and the the staff is great.  They cook the food fresh which is a plus, even if you have to wait a little.  I feel its a bit overpriced for what you get, but if you want a juicy burger with greasy fries this is the place.

I'm a thin burger guy so this place didn't really work for me. The portions here are huge and the prices reflect that; a burger, fries and coke will set you back about 10 bucks.

I think I'll stick with GD Ritzy's or Steak and Shake when I'm in the mood for a burger.
