Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  This is more of a review of Five Guys in general rather than this specific location. The only really location specific-negatives there were was the absence of trays and the typical "I-don't-care" type attitude that I'm becoming all to accustomed to at these fast casual type places.
  
  Five Guys the franchise, however ... I don't understand it. Like Beatriz R. said, "I wasn't really WOW'd... I was expecting a little more out of it." This is the third Five Guys I've been too, expecting the next  burger to be better than the last, to absolutely blow me away. Yet nay, this hasn't been the case. I mean they're good burgers, and if this was a "fast food" joint, I'd say they're the best of the bunch.
  
  But at those prices -- $13 for a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink -- and for the quality of burger I get (a shade better than Wendy's), it's kind of like I'm bending over and telling Five Guys, "Have your way with me!"
  
  (CUE "Glory, Glory Hallelujah" background music)
  
  BUT NO! I WILL NO LONGER BE OBJECTIFIED! I AM A PERSON, FIVE GUYS! A PERSON WHO HAS A LIMITED BUDGET AND EXPECTS MY MEAT TO BE WORTH THE COST (that's what she said?)! IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK?!
  
  (CUE LARGE CROWD, LISTENING ATTENTIVELY, YELLING "NO!")
  
  Whew ... that took a lot out of me! I could go for a burger and fries right about now...

  Not sure what the low ratings of this place are for but I like 5 Guys.  I've been here numerous times and have enjoyed their great juicy burgers.  In this area, there's nothing that compares.  Anyone complaining about the prices should stroll across the street to McNasty and cop a few burgers with a side of pink slime.  The burgers here are fine dining quality.  The only gripe I have is the long wait time but I guess it's worth waiting for a tasty product.

  Came here with my family and I must say I wasn't really WOW'd I mean the burger is good but I guess I was expecting a little more out of it.  I ordered a burger and I guess I didn't know that it had 2 patties the sucker was huge I wish I would've stuck to the one they call "little" if it means it only had 1 patty lol.
  
  My mom really enjoyed the free peanuts they have all over the place, I LOVED their cute soda dispenser real fancy and hitech! lol
  
  The place decor is pretty neat but the set up makes it a bit weird to move thru especially how the tables are set-up.
  
  If I am in the area I'd come again

  The burgers are good, because they use quality meat and cook them fresh.  But that's where the positives of going to this place end.  
  
  I don't understand how cooking something fresh or using better than garbage meat equates to the high prices this company charges.  Come on, it's not like their in the back grinding filet mignon.  Also, the burger are too small, even if they give you two patties it still is barely enough to feed a beast like myself, sorry your not fooling anyone.  
  
  Second, the fries are a complete rip-off, some of the worst fries I have ever tasted in my life, they were supposedly cajun too.  The problem is that they are greasy, soggy, and flavorless. I would reccommend cutting down on the thickness so that they can cook properly and also using fucking salt.  But in the end it should not cost $12 for a cheeseburger, fry, and small drink.  Another thing that pisses me off about this place is the pop machine.  It's concept is retarded because nobody really wants that many flavor choices, unless your a five yearly striving to become diabetic by your 10th birthday. I would glady pay less if it meant just having a regular coke machine rather than having the option to pour cherry-vanilla-lime-orange syrup flavor into my drink.  I was going to give you 3-stars but the pop machine and knowing how much it cost pissed me off so much I took one away.

  New location in Berwyn. Great burgers. I can pass on the fries though. Their pop machine has over 100 flavors. They have outdoor seating. And if your friends are not into burgers, Chipotle and Buffalo Wild Wings is nearby. Open 11a-10p every day.
