Five Guys- Burgers and Fries

Ever since Fatburger closed its doors couple of years ago, I've been looking for a new burger joint to hit up anytime i feel like having a good quality burger. No offense to Whataburger, Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's though their burgers may be good, they unfortunately never seem to quite fill me up.

A friend had told me about this place, "Five Guys-Burgers and fries" which he said had some of the best burgers he's ever had. I'm always a little weary of my friends opinions when it comes to food, it started when they told me about this awesome little Mexican restaurant which in the end, turned out to be Taco Cabana. When I finally found the time I went to check it out with another friend of mine.
The most expensive burger they had there was the Bacon CheeseBurger at 6.09, I decided to go with that. My friend also followed suit in trying their best burger they had to offer. Which was also the Bacon Cheeseburger. The burgers dont come with fries. When we tried to order two large fries cajun style, the manager there told us that their large fries can serve up to 3 people depending on how hungry they are. Looking around i was a bit skeptical seeing the other patrons with their fries.(They're more like potato wedges)

Their fries come in what most places use for a regular drink cup. So there was a lot of fries. The Cajun fries did have a pretty good kick. Unfortunately I do believe they over seasoned the fries. Which made it hard to eat continuously. We were eating during the lunch hour rush, so procuring a ketchup was a little difficult. The fries are cooked in pure peanut oil.(or so says the menu) Oh by the way, they do offer complementary peanuts(which may contain nuts)



On to the burger. It was quite filling. I will not say it was the best burger I had ever had but its definitely on the top 10 list.

When you ever you get a chance to take a bite out of this burger, you'll notice that it almost dissolves in your mouth. The lettuce, onions, mushrooms were all quite fresh and crisp. Though the burger may look small in the picture, I was quite full in the end. 3 hours later, not only did I still feel full, i was still satisfied with my meal.
