    The food here is solid, but I was really put off by a board in the back that’s clearly visible from the dining area. It lists employees by name under “did not upsell?” and other notes that feel like public shaming rather than coaching. As a customer, it makes the place feel more focused on squeezing upsells out of staff than on creating a positive, respectful environment. I hope management or corporate will address this and move to a more professional, private way of giving feedback to employees. A meal for 1 person with fries and only a single patty is approaching $19. When I went into Five Guys, there were only 3 people working and they were all busy the entire time I was there. Tables weren’t cleaned but that’s because there wasn’t enough people there to clean tables. Maybe focus on customer experience and reducing menu item prices instead of trying to nickel and dime customers. Bless the employees who make almost nothing, who have to put up with these shaming tactics.

    This place is just a rip off I don't know how they stay in business Bad Daddy's burgers across the street is cheaper and way better. Or you could go to a fancy restaurant in downtown Gastonia for the same price. It use to be a good concept pay slightly more for fries and get a big size portion that's bigger than any restaurant but now the fries are more expensive than any restaurant and they barely give you any.

    Pricing is insane. But I was here yesterday, and the cooks are on top of things. Super fast. Cooked perfectly, and incredibly personable.
