- AKAndrew KuntzNov 16, 20255.0Amazing Cajun fries and burgers
- DDDavid DOct 24, 20254.0Food is okay
- KDKen doxOct 17, 20254.0Five Guys is always good my favorite thing is the cajun fries. The girls working tonight were fantastic great sense of humor very friendly. Always on the pricey side though but I guess what's not nowadays.
- BMBrian McAvoyOct 5, 20252.0The prices are out of control! The food is good. However, over 20 dollars for burger ($11), fries ($5) and drink ($4). Look, I understand inflation is driving up all prices. They need to offer meal deals and find a way to get prices down. This place use to be much more reasonably priced. I could get way more food for less at other places
- KKKris KistnerSep 16, 20251.0We order fries here frequently. Sometimes they're great but too often not so great. The order today was the worst. We received about half the amount of what we normally get on a large order. They were so salty, we had to wipe the salt off every fry before we ate it. I wanted to call to complain but nobody wanted to drive back to the store to complain.
