Burgers are a step above a burger chain and the burger chain's fries are better!

Burgers the way burgers were meant to be. Fries the way all the other restaurants advertise them to be. It's all fresh, hot greasy, juicy and delicious. Not a gourmet burger mind you but street foosd at it's finest. Anyone who doesn't asppreciate what this place is all about should run immediately to the neareast Marriott and order room service while they convalesce.

You should not come here if you don't want to smell like your food or have greasy food. But other than that, the taste is superb and the toppings make the burgers even better!

First of all, if you insist on trying Five Guys, don't waste your breath specifying how you want your burger cooked. It's gonna come well-done and Mohave-dry -- period. They use fresh potatoes for their fries, which you know immediately because you keep tripping over the huge spud sacks trying to get to the counter. Unlike the burgers, they are undercooked and sodden with grease. (Wait! I meant oozing with trans fat-free vegetable oil!) The staff, though, is very friendly. So friendly, their faces must ache at the end of the day from all that smiling. (The management should drop that requirement -- I got the feeling it might be insincere.)

Greasy little burger that is pretty good with cheese, mushrooms and grilled onions - but then again what isn't?

Your clothes will smell after you wait for your well-done burger to be assembled by a jovial team of uniformed employees, and when you get it you will wonder how it is really great value when real pub burgers could be had for the same price. This is fast-food without the fast. Nobody from NY can really say they like 5 Guys.

But that is where the good ends and the small, well-done burgers take over. Nothing can really save this place from its fast food roots. Might as well go to Wendy's.
