I take full responsibility. Isn't that what people say when they commit a wrong? Well tonight I was in a mood for a great cheeseburger, not just good, but great and I was told by two kids that Five Guys was the best.
Walking in I see all Red & white, looks refreshing and clean. This is in York Pa. But what I hear is the exact opposite of what I see. Acoustics? The noise level sounded as if I was at a ballpark, actually worse in a way and when I walked outside the heavy traffic noise didn't compare to inside Five Guys. It was welcomed. I don't know how anyone is able to even talk in that place!
Now the food. I have a child who does not like meat and I, being a newbie here thought they might have a better offer for a kids menu, but the only thing different was a grilled cheese at almost 4.00 pop ! This sandwich was each slice of bread folded over with what appeared a slop of melted cheese oozing out. It was disgusting to say the least.
French fries are tasty if you want a pound of salt with them. I love salt, but even that was too much. So why not lessen the salt and let customers add more if they want? Because salt sells. All appears freshly made and they advertise Five guys uses peanut oil for cooking/frying. They sure do. I picked three fries from my little guys' bag and my fingers were soaked as was my napkin.
Now for the burger I wanted so bad tonight. The meat may have been quality as I didn't bite into any grizzle, however they add the cheese between the burger and only if a person adds toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and all they offer is it tasty. My opinion. The meat itself tasted plain, the same as if I would make a burger without anything added, but I add two ingredients which make it delicious and no salt needed.
I'm sure many would say it's a great juicy burger, but the juicy part comes from, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup and more, not from the beef itself. This was at suppertime, about five-thirty to six and only twenty-nine people then, but again sounded as if there were three hundred. Take your ear plugs, a wallet full of money as if you want a soda, it costs, 2.29 and water is 2.09-the fact that's it's refillable is supposed to make a person feel better. Well I for one have had my fill. For 15.89 I could have bought....and I didn't have a soda or fries, but one good thing did happen. I learned a lesson, just because it's supposedly good in Philly doesn't mean it's good elsewhere.
