Spent the evening shopping in the north hills mall. Before going home we realized it was past dinner time so we agreed we should grab something to eat while we were there. We had a few choices on where to eat in the plaza.We chose "Five Guys" since we had previous experience with this place. The previous time we really enjoyed our meal. This time something just wasn't right.
C: Rewards and mentions in magazines cover their walls. They get rave reviews often and in many states and cities they are voted in the top 10 restaurants to get a $5 dollar burger.
C: The old man pictured seemed to either be in no hurry or lost while getting his ketchup. He stood there moving things back and forth for at least 5 minutes.
C: The food comes in a brown paper bag. Novel idea. Rip the bag open so you can lay out the food. When picking it up the server told me that he had made it a large fries instead of the regular like we had ordered. This was a bonus.
C: Ordered a large bacon cheese burger with mushrooms, tomato, jalapeno and grilled onions. Nice to see they use fresh jalapenos with the seeds still on them.
C: Visually it is not fine dining at all but it does pass for food made fast.
D: Ordered the same bacon cheeseburger but without tomato.
C: Free servings of peanuts. Have not seen this before in other restaurants. Think this is a good idea.
C: Eating at a restaurant or fast food is not what frugal people do often. They know that it is a waste of money when they can make the food and more of it at home cheaper. I know this, but I never had the feeling of regret after finishing my meal and looking at the bill as I did tonight. "$22:16 for 2 burgers, fries and 2 soft drinks?!" Even with the extra fries, option for free peanuts and the free refills for our drinks, I think they charge too much.
we got there near 8:30 at night. It was a typical burger joint. ordered 2 burgers, fries and drinks. the price was a little ridiculous for the meal we got. $22.16. the presentation was lacking but not uncommon in a burger joint. the taste was not consistent with other times we have eaten here. this time it was of less quality taste. we had no wait time when placing our order. the staff were friendly and fast with delivering our food. the service was just right. the restaurant was clean.
would rate it 3 stars this time. The extra fries were the high and the low was actually the high bill.
