Five Guys

I love getting fries and hotdogs, but the last 3 times that I have been there, sadly the place is a mess. I blame it on some obnoxious customers, there is rubbish on tables, chairs all over the floor, I just can't believe management seems to be ok with the place being like this. Foodwise all good, the usual Five Guys.

Five Guys is absolutely excellent regarding food. You can tell by the taste that the food has fantastic quality. The quantity they give you is also incredible. You may be startled by the price at first but once you realize the quantity you receive, it’s totally worth it. The only reason this review is four stars is because the restaurant is often quite dirty. There are rarely any clean tables available and the floor is always sticky.

I've reviewed Five Guys several times before, but always for eateries in the United States. This was my first "international" Five Guys in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). Just as delicious as anywhere else. And what makes Five Guys almost always "5 Stars" is the ability to dress the burger however you want, seemingly with unlimited toppings if you're that kind of burger devourer. And of course, they always give you basically double the amount of fries you order. This time we got the "little" size which was a tiny cup. But with at least an additional "regular size" amount of fries in the bag the order was packed in. Only complaint: The peanuts were difficult to find. Normally they are near the entrance where you place your order. I needed to hunt them down (they were where you pickup your order). Only weirdness: In almost every Five Guys in the USA, there's at least one poster on the wall stating how great the place is in the location (city or state) that particular franchise is in. I'm in Canada and there were posters all from the USA: Washington DC, Florida, New York, etc. Nothing from anywhere in Canada. But that won't stop me from giving this one 5 stars too ☺️.

I don't understand the allure of this place. Sure it is a decent sized burger but I find it over priced and only mediocre in taste. The fries are never salted enough for my taste and the whole gimmick of pouring them into your bag to give the illusion that you are getting more than you paid for is actually quite droll. There are much better burger joints in this city.

Initially I've never been the biggest fan of five guys primarily because I only ate burgers my friends brought home. I'm giving it a 5 star because I went and ate in the restaurant recently and discovered it was because my friends just don't order the burger the way I like it. There is a big range of customization that can be done which I never knew before. Ordered a little bacon cheeseburger for myself. The meat is moist, the bacon fried up super crisp, the cheese paired great. Added all the vegetables I could. Turned out fantastic. The pricing isn't cheap as you are getting quality food. I'd still rather pay more for something I know I'll love. The fries pictured isn't a true representation of how many you get as the bottom of the bag still has a lot. Restaurant seating is wooden chairs, so not the most comfy, but it was neat and clean. Food is always delivered in a bag, no trays. Drinks are refillable and self serve.
