i've had a lot of great "fast-food" burgers, but five guys is not one of them. maybe it was an off day, maybe it was a bad location. i don't know. all i can tell you is that derek was happy with his double cheeseburger with mushrooms, but i couldn't even finish my hamburger.
five guys is a very popular chain that started in DC and has a couple of branches in new york city. the patty was fine, but not great. what was terrible about this burger was the bun - it was stale and overpowered the rest of the ingredients. the fries weren't great either. maybe others have had better experiences than i have, but with so many awesome burger places in the city, i'm going to stick with what i know.
Hmm. They just opened one in northgate. Guess I don't need to try it now.
ReplyDeletehrm - the thing is that other people rave about this place, so i don't know if i just had a bad experience or not. maybe see what others say about it. i think i'd go for a kidd valley or a red mill though ...
ReplyDeletethat's within walking distance of my place! I like it! but i gotta say, shake shack takes the cake so far, for the two burgers I've had in NYC ;-)
