    Five Guys in Amherst continues to deliver very good food, as it always has. The burgers and fries were fresh and well prepared, and the quality remains consistent. Unfortunately, we had difficulty finding a clean table, as most were dirty and the garbage bins were overflowing. It seems that, like many other restaurants and businesses today, they may be struggling to find enough staff—or staff willing to keep up with the workload. The food is still excellent, but the dining area could use more attention.

    Where do I start? No greeting upon entering and no one taking care of customers at counter. No eye contact, no “I will be right with you”. Must have been short staffed or frankly, I don’t think they care. One thing I have always liked about Five Guys is the service and hustle from the team. The dining room looked in disarray with a Chipotle cleaning meaning zero attendance to it. Not surprising the food was not good. Order was wrong, ordered a little cheeseburger all the way and I got a bacon cheeseburger with someone else’s toppings. Fries were definitely cooked in old oil they looked transparent. I know it’s hard to find people to work but someone owns this business and is not aware that they may be the rare Five Guys that closes because customers will find another location. Just really surprised as Five Guys always has been a great experience. Staff doesn’t want to be there let alone serve the public. No pride in their work. Better fix your issues or Shake Shack will take your business. Sorry.
