Five Guys. One bag.

This summer has been a busy one for burger eatin'. I finally stopped at Five Guys tonight. I've been driving past on my way to night school. People said they had good stuff. All the information on their website points to an excellent meal & deal. Very interesting.

The store is only slightly interesting, I can't see myself sitting down inside the restaurant. They have it decorated with only white and red tiles, everywhere. Maybe it has something to do with the original store. The music was quite loud. Maybe it was just the staff's doing. Three guys, one taking orders then, dropping back to work the fryer while the other two set up the burgers. I was surprised that the grill guy slapped a chunk of ground beef on to the grill top. After a couple minutes of intense heat, he flipped and squashed the beef. Finally, I could smell some stuff cooking. The ventilation system is too good. Being the cheapo I am, there was a bit of sticker shock when I found out that it would be $7.03 for a "little" hamburger and regular fries. The burger was $3.79 and for the money, darn good. The fries were interesting. Regular fries are $2.89. That's a lot of lettuce to shell out for fries, according to me. On the other side of the coin, I got a lot of fries for the money. Also, they taste fresh cut. Just a little greasy for my buds.

Over all, I'd say it was a decent experience. Would I go back? Probably. There is a lot of competition for my burger budget.

4 of 5 stars.
