I had a delightful experience at Five Guys today. The food was exceptionally tasty, and I received excellent service, particularly from Diana B. All the staff members were genuinely kind and welcoming, which further enhanced the quality of the delicious meals. Without a doubt, I will be returning for more.

The burgers are actually really good. Nothing fancy no 10 cheese super melt or spicy sauces just tasty beef. Although many rave about the fries my family really don’t care much for them.

They lost a customer permanently today. The wait is always way too long. Food is consistently good, not amazing. Service is 20yr olds that are just nice enough to not get fired in this world that desperately needs workers. Atmosphere is cool except everyone is hungry waiting for food. I rarely see anyone happily eating, just waiting.

This place is nasty, there is no way it’s 9 workers behind the counter, with little to no customers and this place is not clean.

Great food, friendly staff and fast service, what more could you ask for? Only problem is getting there as the Plaza is difficult to get into and out of on transit rd.

Delicious! Best of the best for chain burgers and fries. They also have a few other traditional grill options, but the burgers are the star. Very customizable and made to order, fresh cut fries which come in a massive serving. Restaurant is almost always busy. Aside from the peanut shells all over the place, the restaurant is very clean. Only complaint us that burns can get soggy if you use takeout, but other than that, this place is terrific!

If you are looking for a better quality burger over the standard fast food place like McDonald’s or burger king then is the place. Five guys has a delicious burger that offers a lot of toppings. If you order fries they always load you up with them. I prefer the cajun fries but wish they had more pow. Overall a great place to get a quick burger and fry.

When everyone else is going to the Crown or the arches this is where I go for a good occasional burger and fries treat.
