    High priced, sloppy burgers, over salted fries, would never recommend eating here again. Can't believe how much I paid for the small amount of sloppy made food I received.

    1st time at Five Guys. French fries were the highlight. Real potatoes. They also have peanuts in the shell for you to eat while you wait for food. The person taking my order was very friendly and helpful. Now the down side...my burger was over cooked, dry, and actually crunchy is spots. Would go back for fries and maybe try a shake.
