There were only about 6 customers in the place and it took almost 35 minutes to get our order. The Wife's burger was cold and had the wrong toppings. Although the fries looked great, they were nearly overcooked on the outside but had a raw potato taste in the inside, a sure sign of frying in oil that's too hot. My burger was good, but not great, and certainly not worth the drive & wait. I think that I'll pass on another visit. Went to the Clifton location on Saturday-my 1st 5 guys experience.

If you did not try them I would highly recommend them next time. Much better then regualer fries. Cajun Fries. If you did not try them I would highly recommend them next time.

It was busy, about 12 people deep in line,but service at cash register was amazingly quick. Only took about 12 minutes to get the food, good time to get your drinks and ketchup! About as close as we can get to In and Out around here, in my opinion.Culvers might be worth a review, if only to compare. There is one open in Florence now, owned by someone different than the one in Mason. The franchise is based in Wisconsin. The butter is on the bun and I think they baste the burger with it. Honestly, I think it was only slightly better than Steak and Shake, which isn't to say it was horrible, but not sure if the burgers are worth the extra drive for me. They have chicken and ham and cheese melts and other stuff on the menu too. I think the best thing about Culvers is the custard. It is soft serve, but quite tasty and they add a new flavor every day. It is quite yummy. And they have cheese curds for the cheese heads around here! Went to the Rookwood 5 Guys this weekend.

I'm not sure how long they'd been open at the time, so maybe they just didn't have their act together yet. They fries were great, but very greasy...good thing they come in a brown paper bag to soak up excess grease. The veggie sandwich was good, but I actually think you can get a better one at Great Steak...although the veggie is cheaper at Five Guys. I might try the grilled cheese, but it doesn't really sound too appealing, maybe it's the fact it's on a bun? .-= Suz´s last blog ..<a href="http://californiatraveler.blogspot.com/2010/02/test-post.html" rel="nofollow">Test Post</a> =-.

That's doable. I also like that Logan has Legal Seafoods. I usually walk out a lobster roll for lunch. Ooh. That’s doable. I also like that Logan has Legal Seafoods.

Peanut oil does produce a superior fry, but you're right, if everyone's doing it, then there aren't many good options for those who are allergic. You should just switch to frying in duck fat. The best. :) My best friend has a peanut allergy, so if I notice things like open peanuts, I figure she’s not the only one who can benefit.

I'm trying to avoid fast food to some extent (at least going forward).
