Five Guys - Lackawanna

Walking into Five Guys, I noticed that the restaurant was kept really clean which was a +1 for me. The service was quick and fast, they also didn't rush us when we were ordering our toppings which was really nice. The washrooms were also clean. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger and my girlfriend ordered the little cheeseburger. The burger itself was average, it didn't taste anything out of the ordinary. It probably would've made the experience better if I asked for the buns to be toasted. Although, next time if I came I would not order the cheeseburger the cheese was literally processed, it does not taste like real cheese at all. I also got the Cajun Style fries, I really enjoyed the flavour of the seasoning. It was like sweet, salty, and spicy (not really). I really liked it personally.

For fast heavy burgers that hit that spot that wants a very meaty burger. I ordered the burger with cheese and bacon. I accompanied this with jalapenos on the side and a small fries and regular soda. Very generous with their fries portions. The staff was friendly and prepared my food and took my order promptly. Very bare bones decor but you dont go to this chain for the ambience. It was a filling meal that hit the spot that craves big burgers. I would not recommend taking this food to go. My experiences taking it to-go are not nearly as good because the fries do not hold up well when the heat condenses in the paper bags. The fries become way too soggy. When you have them fresh though they are great and the portions again are generous here. A great burger chain when you have the food to stay.

Bacon cheeseburger “all the way” is how I roll at Five Guys. It’s a double burger, so if you’re not a big eater, go with the little bacon cheeseburger. One of the more important things to remember here is that the fries are excellent, but you get a ton of them so don’t even consider ordering large fries unless you have 8 people or just plan on eating fries for days.

This place should change its name from... FIVE GUYS Burgers and Fries, to... FIVE GUYS Burgers and a HUGE portion of Fries The fries portions are huge, taste is okay. The burger is tasty, but not cooked on a grill. Burger, fries and drink came to just under $20. For a fast food joint to overcharge this much for a classic 3 item combo is ridiculous. At Harvey's restaurants, you can get all of this, flame-cooked with the highest quality for less than half the price.

Great burgers. Meat is so juicy and flavourful. If you want a burger from a fast food place this should be your choice. Try their lettuce wrap, it's really good.
