Five Guys

I did not have the opportunity to go yesterday, but plan on trying it tonight.  However, a friend of mine went yesterday and sent me a text saying it was every bit as good as the ones in Huntsville and he was very impressed.   Which I expected, seeing as it is the same owner.  But perhaps your experience could be chalked up to it being new.  I expect a lot when I go there, and from what my friend said, I expect I will get it.

Tried it tonight. Wish I has listen to y'all about the fries...........man, they'll hook you up on some fries!

We had it tonight after our swim meet...it was as good as any I've had anywhere.  I got the little BCB though b/c it was later and I (and neither do most of y'all) really don't need one of the large ones.  Taste was great and service was good.  My prayers have been answered!!!  lol!

I got a huge double cheeseburger. It was good. Would have been better with a beer.

finally made it out there today for lunch, just as good as the one's in Huntsville. regular cheeseburger, regular fries, regular drink, all for less than 10 bucks, couldnt come close to finishing my fries....completely satisfied. looking forward to eating there again after the handy ride

Ate there this past Tuesday. Was not impressed at all. Have had better a burger, most definitely a hotter one. Fries were hot and greasy though. The show was entertaining, staff climbing all over each other and way to many people handling my food. The last really great burger I had was on Big Pine sland in the Keys, Rob's Beach Bar. Their cook was a true hamburger chef.

i had the large burger today. after tax, under $5.00

very good burger. well worth it!

My first experience at eating at a Five Guys was in Decatur, just over a year ago. I have since eating at the Five Guys in Huntsville, Gardendale and Decatur, as well as the Florence location. As compared with the other locations, the Florence location is seriously lacking in quality, and service. I know they are a newly opened store, but they have a lot of issues to work out.

One of the things that I disliked the most at the Florence location was the amount of noise. The noise level was so loud, that I would not have a conversation with the person, whom I was dining with. Based on my knowledge of construction and design, I believe the noise level was enhanced by the higher ceiling level design. If I visit again, it will be during a low customer count or get my order to go.

Is the veggie burger available at the Florence location?

I don't remember.

Which is why they are so tasty.  I bet you don't like bacon either.

I'm afraid sir, you are wrong.  I love bacon and even the real kind like my grandpa use to cure at home.  But I highly doubt anyone on here would remember killing a hog, cleaning it and curing it.  Those days are long gone and replaced with the Walmart era. 

I do remember the days of killing hogs. We would get together with the neighbors to do it. The much older neighbor called my dad a “city slicker” because he would use a 22 to kill the hog. “I don’t know why you want to go and waste a bullet when a 2X4 and a 16 penny nail will do just as good.” He would say. It still makes me laugh.

Yeah, we would all get together roll the hog off in a big vat of scalding water, scrape the hair off and continue on.  There was always this little old lady who would get the head and make head cheese.  I can still remember seeing my great uncle making chittlins.  Boiling them and then slinging the crap out of them.  For those who don't know, really slinging the crap out of them.  Those were great days.

 I remember hog killing days, always on the coldest days early in the winter.

I hope I don't reminisce like you old farts when I get your age.

"Back in my day we actually had to get out and get our burgers from the five guys, these new fangled replicators are nothing like da olden days!"

Bama Burger at FloBama beats Five Guys hands down.

 I went to Five Guy's yesterday. It was OK, I would never say it was the best I've ever had, cooked on a flat grill! The fries was cooked to perfection for me but the styrafoam cup they put them in took away quality because it caused them to get soggy. There was way too many fries for one person to eat. The burger was good, big and greasy, I hurt for the rest of the day because it is just way too much food fat. If I ever go back I will either have to bring someone to share it with or take half for later. All in all, I would rather have a burger cooked on a fired grill of one kind or another.

We just got a Five Guys in St. George, Utah about a year ago.

That's some good eaten. Not only are the fries the best and most plentiful.

They have free Peanuts while you wait. Hope yours will be as good.
