    Four things that should be in every to-go order: Ketchup, A Straw, Napkins, and a Tamper-evident seal over the bag, this had none of those. Two stars and not one because food was fine.

    Went here late at night. Its nice that it's open late. It took a really long time for our food to be made and when it was done the staff was irritated when you didnt pick up your food immediately after it was done as if there was some urgency, yet they had taken 10+ minutes to make one burger.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch since I was in town for a conference. Place was very clean and service was fast. I want to give a shoutout to Steve, who was working behind the counter. He was working his butt off to make sure every order was correct and timely, and was very polite.

    I don’t know what’s happened to Five Guys, but it’s changed over the years. The burgers are overpriced, plain tasting, and not worth wasting your hard earned money on. Pretty sure the overpriced milkshake gave us horrible food poisoning (vomiting throughout the night), and the experience inside this location wasn’t anything special. Save your money and go to Otto’s, the Corner Room, or even Wendy’s — all would be better options than Five Guys. Makes me miss Whataburger or In-N-Out. One positive from this location was the employees. They were hard workers and attentive.
