Five Guys

I wanted to give their lettuce wrapped burger a try (I'm on Keto) and heard great reviews on it. I ordered online for pick-up due to Covid. The staff were super friendly and nice, restaurant very clean. I obviously couldn't wait to get home to eat, so I ate the burger in my car. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger (2 patties) wrapped in lettuce. The burger was AMAZING! Same great Five Guys taste, minus the bread. For anyone on Keto, a low carb diet or curious to try it, I highly recommend. They definitely know how to make it.

Noisy, overpriced, chaotic... is what I would say about my experience here today. My son wanted to have Five guys burger for dinner so we went in. Place is busy so folks clearly like it here, but I think its overpriced and over rated. Extremely noisy inside with staff shouting numbers at customers (who can't hear because the place is so noisy and everyone is shouting). Invest in a cue system with number display or something. No one in this place is following any covid protocol... even staff is telling us to shuffle along and bunch up with people in front ... very strange... and uncomfortable. We stood bunched up with tons of other people for over 20 mins for our 2 burger order. Actually 22, but who's counting. I think more frustrating was to see countless uber drivers come in and out within 2 minutes while we all stood there bunched up waiting patiently for our order. as for the food... i think the burgers are not worth the money. I'll take a grilled burger over a fried burger anytime. My son though the bun was very good... just enough seeds, but not too many.. the cheese was "melted perfectly" and the patty was ok. The bummer for him was that the patty is smaller than the burger so three quarters through the burger you end up with no patty and lot of bun left (see photo). he has five guys number 5 on his burger list (1. Hero, 2. BK, 3. A&W, 4. Harvey's, 5. Five guys, 6. McD's, 7. Wendy's.) love the list. I do like the fries, once they cool off they are good with good amount of seasoning. Still think over $28 for two burgers and one fry and no drinks is ridiculous.. especially for what you get. The lack of distancing here still boggles my mind... I guess that's why province is shutting restaurants down in GTA.

Five Guys is an amazing alternative to mega chain fast food. Their food is made fresh with the toppings of your choice. A bit more expensive but worth the extra couple dollars for the quality and portion sizes. Their milk shakes are the best I've ever had. Never had a bad meal from here. I have docked one star for the tables not being cleaned on this visit (during covid) but I understand the staff was run off their feet preparing food. I wiped the table myself and was fine with that. I appreciate the staff working so hard under very trying circumstances.
