Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Heaven on a bun!  Only thing close to In-n-Out in the Midwest......

Stopped in on a Sunday night and there was no line (first time ever????).  Enjoyed passing the time for the food while eating some peanuts in the shell that are easy to scoop up (for free).  

However, it may be best to pass on those if you order the fries because they are SALTY......but the burger is PERFECT.  My daughter got the little one, and I got the "regular".

There is nothing regualar about it.....two patties and perfectly melted cheese = PERFECTION.

1 LCB (small one)      4.59
1 Fry                              2.99
1 CB (regular)              6.29
1 Reg Drink                  2.19

Total = $17.63

Can someone please tell me what is up with this place? Not just this location, but Five Guys in general. Did these guys sell their souls to the devil to turn a profit? To make girls run screaming for the place?

I get the concept...you pay a certain price for a burger, and you get pretty much anything you want on it. That's pretty sweet. But I guess I'd like it better if the burger was really good. It's just ok. Maybe I'm being a burger snob here, but I just don't get the hype!! I'd rather pay more money somewhere else, pay for the individual toppings that I want, and get something that is truly satisfying.

I think their cajun fries are way, WAY too over-seasoned. I keep ordering them hoping for something different, but they turn out the same every time.

But, I'm not going to knock this location. The people here are always very friendly and quick to get you your food. They also put up with drunk late night people really well. So I'll give the place 3 stars, since they have polite, patient staff.

Seriously delicious burgers and fries!  Don't come in this place if you've got a peanut allergy though- there are peanuts everywhere, available as kind of a self-serve snack.

The burger here is seriously delicious.  I don't eat many burgers, but when I do, I want them to taste like a Five Guys burger.  The standard is the double patty, I believe they're about a 1/4 pound each, so the regular is 1/2 lb before cooking.  There's also a "small" burger at 1/4 lb, so the calories will be packed on here regardless.  They only have American cheese (gross!) so I opt for the standard lettuce, tomato, pickles, and grilled jalapenos. They have your standard condiments including mayo, mustard, and ketchup, but they take it a step further with BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and a few others.  The fries are insanely good here, too.  We had a large order for my kids and I, and there was probably a pound and a half of spuds in the order.  Seriously!  Crazy huge portions~ and utterly delicious!   If you're a vegetarian I did see they have a veggie burger, but when I'm here I'm all about the beef.

This place has simple food served in an old-school type atmosphere.  For the quality and the price it can't be beat.  If you're jonesing for a great burger when in d'town Naperville, look no further than Five Guys.
