Five Guys

Website said 8 minutes till ready. Took me 15 to arrive. Still waited another 12 after arrival for it to be ready. Pretty sure they didn’t even start cooking till I walked in the door. If you’re going to tell a customer a time, you need to be within a few minutes. Not 2x-3x longer. If you can’t do that, then don’t commit to a ready time!

This is one of my favorite places to grab a burger in Lexington. They only sell burgers, hot dogs, and fries. My wife loves their fries, but I don't particularly care for them. They usually load you up when you order their fries. A small order typically would be enough for two people. It's always fun to mess with the newer cashiers by pointing to the sign and ordering something that they don't serve like chili cheese fries. Sometimes they have to stop and think to see if a new menu item had become available. The menu is simple, but service is usually really fast. There are occasions where you might experience a line to order, typically in the early evening. However, don't be fooled by the line and leave. It runs pretty fast. They even offer roasted peanuts to munch on while you wait for your food which typically isn't that long. My only complaint is that they don't offer more comfortable chairs to sit on while you dine-in.

We ordered 6 burgers, 3 drinks and cajun fries. My complaint is my burger was literally black. All of our burgers were burnt to a crisp. And 60 for all of us to eat. Family of 4 is just ridiculous. My husband really likes yalls burgers but today I said okay I'll give it a shot. Wish I wouldn't have. It's just too pricey. I wouldn't complain if the food was up to par. But it was basically a "cook out" type of experience. Won't be back.
