Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Damn, I love this place.

I am a vegetarian and ADORE the cheese veggie burger.  It is made up a compilation of veggies and not some starchy-wheat by-product patty.

I seriously cannot believe people have a beef (no pun intended) with this place.  The french fries alone are worth 10x the actual calorie count!

Yeah, it is a little pricy, but the food is amazing.

Sidenote: there is this young-ish black guy who works there who is the hardest working young man that I have ever seen.  Always smiling and busting his ass.  If I had a business, I would totally hire him.  I have been meaning to email someone about that.  

Only cons: the calories and sometimes the music is playing a little loud

If you don't get it, then you just don't fucking get it.  It's that simple.  If you've tasted meat, formed your own burgers at home and cared for their preparation and taste.  You would probably get it.  Meat that is never frozen and hand formed.  In the same thinking, if you have eaten fries fried in vegetable oil and fries made in peanut oil, there is a difference tasted & felt in the texture.

Some might say, its as average as your corner burger joint.  NOT.  The corner burger joint, depending on the place would most likely use frozen content, God only knows how long its been frozen.  If we consider the oil used to fry the fries, there are some places which recycle oil or use the same batch for days.  This means, you would taste everything that's been fried in the same oil.  Ew!.  Of course there are a lot of so called connoisseurs of burgers that claim to know a lot, but instead of tasting, they merely gulp it down with soda.

I like that regardless of location, service seems to be pretty usual.  Whereas there are slight differences in how quickly their staff gets to keeping the tables and floors clean and clear.  Since they offer free shelled peanuts, know that the floors and tables can be full of debris.  This location can suit many more, I would imagine about thirty or so during a "rush".  Getting your order can be fairly quick depending on the time of your visit.

Parking is available across the street or further up or down the block.  There is a private parking lot next door but it belongs to the bank on the corner.  Supposedly the bank checks cars even at night, so there is possibility of being towed.  Make sure to read all signage.

This place is so average it's almost painful.

The burger is better than your average fast food joint, but compared to similarly-priced burgers, Five Guys is pretty low.

At $10+ for a burger and fries, you'd think you'd be getting something a little more substantial.

The peanuts make for a great afternoon snack, though.
