    As many times as we have ordered here it is not consistent enough for me to give 5 stars. The store really needs to up their game on fries. The burgers are somewhat consistent but not always. A burger here should be absolutely phenomenal every time and the fries should be on point. No exceptions. In my picture they literally tasted as bad as it looks. The Roseville five guys is rocking the fries and this location should take notes. When done right five guys is great in my view. Per location can vary. Everyone knows this is common. However feedback on it is crucial.

    If you want extreme hypertension with the possibility of having a massive stroke, order the fries. They are literally trying to kill people with the amount of salt they use. The burgers were sufficient.

    We went there on a Sunday evening. It wasn't crowded but they were busy. Tables were clean and one of the employees was wiping them. The cooks were working hard, looks like they had online orders as walk-ins. Our food was delicious, all of the adds we requested were added and we had no complaints. We enjoyed staying in and eat there.
