"I walked in and I was greeted by a nice and friendlystaff. The burgers taste homemade. Every bite is full of flavor. The bacon on the burger is nice a crispy and the veggies are fresh. The Cajun fries are a must try. These fries don't need any ketchup in my opinion. Overall a great experience. Don't forget to get some complimentary fresh roasted peanuts!"

"We came here Sunday (3/24) evening to grab a quick bite to eat. We were from out of town and this place happens to be a few short blocks (within walking distance) from where we were staying at. The outside of Five Guys is similar to other Five Guys. The location of this particular outfit is next to a couple of other eateries and a couple of cosmetic stores. Parking can be difficult judging by the limited parking spaces available. The inside of this location appears clean and smells clean which is good. Food ordering is at the front counter. It took about 15 minutes for our food to be ready. We all got burgers and side of fries to share. The burgers came out very good as well as the Cajun fries, both tasted like other five guys burgers at other locations. At the time when we came, it was around 5pm and wasn’t particularly busy. There were a few other patrons dining at the same time we were there. So 5pm on a Sunday evening is a good time to come here."
