Five Guys Burgers and Fries

First after reading the reviews I did notice the place was fairly clean when I arrived so that leads me to believe that the owner or management of this establishment did take note of such things.
Ordered 3 burgers, 3 drinks and 1 large pack of french fries. Came up to around $ 40.00. All considered a separate order, which I am unaccustomed to seeing. No options for combos? That’s how they really charge it up!
Needless to say the burgers consisted of 2 thin patties and the toppings were listed at the cash so you couldn’t miss out on all that they had to offer.
I would simply come back for the Cajun fries, but the burger is nothing special and I know I could find something comparable if it better.

This place made me feel like Homer Simpson when he floats following a smell with the eyes semi open.
While in the roof top parking of this plaza I couldn’t kill the craving for fries, the smell of guilt was really strong, but I didn’t know the devious place was Five Guys Burgers.
I just wanted fries, but when I went inside I thought a hocho would help me cushion the coming spirits, so I ordered a $ 4 bucks sausage.
To be honest, I rather pay $ 3 bucks in a hot dog stand on the street (where I can pick the nationality of the wiener according to my cravings), because the quality, flavor, size&thickness of their sausage (jeje) wasn’t worth the extra buck.
However, if we speak about fries, they do know how to make those, oh yeah. Really crispy, meaty, well seasoned and good looking… I went there for their smell and I don’t regret them; just thinking about them makes me salivate.

You’ve been shopping, you know you’re hungry!
The smell of the cajun spice on their special fries is enough to get anyone excited to be in here, in my opinion. However, in the big good burger brawl of the two-​thousand-​and-​teens, I prefer In N Out and Shake Shack to Five Guys. This being said, as you can tell by the star rating, I still love this burger.
The atmosphere at this Five Guys location is pretty dismal, though. A little dirty and cold, so I’d recommend getting take out and heading home with your shopping finds, your decent burger and your super fries.

I didn’t think these reviews were being very nice… but to be fair, when I dined at this restaurant the dining area was a disaster. Garbage everywhere and the tables were not cleaned.
Besides the look of the place, the food was decent. A bit pricey for fast food, but my burger was excellent and the regular fries were just enough for 2 hungry people after shopping!

Five Guys Burgers and Fries deserves much better than two stars on one hand, but on the other, the more harsh critics have salient points.
Five Guys has the dubious distinction of having a location in the Stockyards, which was a hulking, ugly directionless mess before Target cut and ran. Today the centre is a jumbled collection of minimal variety and empty storefronts.
If you can deal with the Stockyards, Five Guys has a great burger. It is freshly cooked and generally better than any chain burger. The bun is fresh and toppings are generous.
They also have great fries, but these are sold separately from the burgers and the fountain drinks. All three can run 15 $, making it pricey, especially for the neighbourhood. One option is to skip the fries and eat the free peanuts that are abundantly available and useful while you are waiting for your burger to cook.
The big negative here is that the place is often a mess. When you walk into a restaurant and it looks like no one gives a shit (dirty tables, peanut shells everywhere, drink station a mess), it doesn’t inspire repeat business. If 5 Guys took more pride in its dining room (and subsequently respected its customers), it would be a viable contender in the higher end burger chain category, as well as the Chipotle across the parking deck.

Wasn’t overly impressed especially considering the price! We ordered two «little burgers» and one regular cheeseburger, one order of fries to share, and two bottles of water. Total came to just over $ 30. The fries came in a small cup (pictured here) which were definitely not shareable.
As for taste, burgers and fries were good but nothing overly special and they use processed cheese. Presentation was a bit of a turn off — looked like the burgers were manhandled before they wrapped them!
I like that they offer peanuts in the shell to snack on while you wait — though we didn’t wait long at all.
Bathrooms were clean.

Vegetable sandwich was blah, hard to finish. Burger was well done but not juicy, it was dry. Fries were good.

Double Check Your Bills!
I normally love Five Guys, but I had a bad experience at this particular location. I ordered a regular drink and the server handed me a large. I asked if this was a regular drink and the cashier told me it was a promotion. After I finished my meal I noticed on my receipt that I was charged a large drink. In fact, my entire group was charged the same thing. I know the difference is only 20 cent, but it’s the principle.
Caution to those who order at this location. Double check your bills, and don’t take any promotions.
