So I went out with some friends the other night hoping to get some good food and sit down and talk. That's not what happened. We decided to go to Five Guys Burger and Fries instead of Big Mouth Burger. We wanted to try something new. We should've stuck to Big Mouth Burger. I had heard that Five Guys was all around amazing, but when we arrived it was really crowded and seemed to be almost hectic. The space wasn't very inviting...the line was stressful. We ordered our food after needing clarification on some menu items. The little burgers have one patty, the normal ones have two.....not so little. The place looked a lot like In-N-Out. And trust me....I had plenty of time to look around while I waited for my food. When I stood next to the pile of potato bags and a bin of peanuts, I assumed it was a line to just pick up food....nope. I was order number 42 and after I paid they were just calling order number 17.....I would have to wait about 20 minutes until I heard "42......number 42". I got handed a greasy bag with my little burger and fries inside. (Not gonna lie....the soda machine is cool to use, but the soda tastes funny....I had Vanilla Coke!) They got my order wrong.....no sauteed onions....no tomatoes....lots of mayo....oh joy. It turns out they had given my burger to my friend (order #43) , and I had eaten his. We weren't happy to have found this out after eating.
So my experience was: slow service, crowding...no place to sit, walk, (breathe!!!), my order was wrong....and it was anticlimactic. The food was so-so....not the best burger I've ever had. I'm not impressed. This is just my opinion....but I don't think I'll be returning. Well, at least not until they've been open longer....maybe it was crazy because it had recently opened.
What will my group of food-lovers tackle when we unite once again? Who knows....but I hope it's good.
