Finallyyy got to try the famed 5 Guys burgers! Ordered a bacon-cheese dog ($14), bacon-cheeseburger ($17) and a regular cajun fries ($9). Do note that fries come in five guys style or cajun spiced; they would give five guys style if you don’t specifically request for any! For the toppings, we chose “All the way” + raw onions, along with jalapeños on the side.
Food came hot - Burger patty was juicy, bacon was crispy and veggies were fresh. Only gripe for the bacon cheeseburger would be that the patty and cheese had strong flavors, overwhelming the rest of the ingredients. The dog-variant was a perfect stack though; you could taste the many layers of vegetables, bacon, sausage, cheese and sauces. I also loved that their fries had potato skin intact, but the fries seemed to lack a dimension to its flavor. Nevertheless I still enjoyed the fries as a side!
Overall it was a very heavy meal for me and my partner. I couldn’t finish the food! Maybe when I return I’d skip the cheese in my burger and stick to their little-burger versions instead. A side note - the bottom buns do soak in all the moisture so it would end up soggy if you don’t eat fast enough.
When you arrive, you have to look for a seat, just like any other fast food joints. They pack your food in takeaway bags even if you’re dining in.
