The only thing I liked was the hamburgers being handmade. So soft.

I usually have lunch at one of the 5 Guys Burger branches, and as usual today, I placed my regular order, which is clearly shown on the receipt. Whether the order is a combo or not, the price remains the same. Then I ordered a drink , and unexpectedly, the cashier requested that I pay the full price for the drink separately. I handed her the receipt to verify, explaining that the price does not change whether it's part of a combo or not. She insisted that I hadn't paid for the drink and stated that this is the policy at this location.
I was disappointed by the time wasted during this misunderstanding. I would like to express my concern regarding the lack of consistency in service and the inconvenience caused, which reflects poorly on customer experience. I kindly advise reviewing the procedures to ensure clarity and fairness in transactions, and I regret having to spend valuable time resolving such a matter. For the sake of efficiency and customer satisfaction, I would recommend improving staff training and communication to better respect customers' time and expectations.

About the only fast food chain burger I'll eat now that In N Out is no longer nearby. My wife loves the bacon-cheese dog.

It was my first time trying out the five guys burger and fries honestly, overpriced I paid $14 for a cheeseburger no fries no drink. Still in-N-Out is one of the top burgers in the state definitely In-N-Out very affordable way more tastier, and fresh. Sorry, five guys this is my honest opinion !!
