Five Guys

Definition I have noticed 5 Guys stores tend to appear at then end of retail strips and here that theme extends outside onto a patio that lends some extra width to the sense of space. Like other locations, this one also uses the height of the warehouse-like bay to enhance that sense of space upward. The concepts of the open kitchen and distant plumbing accentuate the appearance of depth. All of this was true before the place was remodeled during the time of pestilence, but now all those spacial choices get a new dose of Definition. Commonly the ceilings are left open, but here it has a minimal drop and composite tiles get the black-out treatment, the fire suppression sprinkler heads are dutifully hidden, and 2-by light panels replace warehousey pendants. The black paint above 8ish feet contains a sense of lost space while keeping the open feel. Below, the color pallets of just Red, White, Black, Stainless, and Honey-stain prescribe order & simplicity ~ a veritable antidote to the chaotic world outside. Or at least the world outside: beyond the patio, the parking lot, the Amazon Fresh thingamajig, um, somewhere. Anyway, the wall tiles make order in 2 colors, the black contains (even the seats), the stainless is sheer ~ seemingly unblemished, and the red of the HVAC (creating that “apart” experience), mimicked by the block letter signage that “speaks” in unquestioning now(n)s. All clean, in place, on theme, tamed. There is a counter-reality in place, of course. Being the old-ish creature I am, I actually ate there, had some peanuts, and watched as one after another after another delivery driver arrived and quickly left with a bag for someone somewhere. Do those folks have a concern about architecture? Does the clearness of line travel in brown lunch sacks out into the world at large? Doubtful, at least to my mind. Not in doubt is the lighting plan. Looking at the pics I grabbed, I note the interior is almost without shadows. Perhaps my first inclination to write this place up came from the checkerboard layout of red and white pendants hung 6 feet below the 2-by panels, with an additional set added along the boarder of the kitchen space. It says regulated, more in the self-control mode than that which is imposed. I mean the whole construct is an imposition on and into the open bay space. That is reads as self-controlled is to walk along the fine line of overbearing.

The restaurant is very clean and tidy. I ordered just a regular burger with some lettuce and tomato; it was excellent. The quality of the food at Five Guys always tastes fresh and top notch. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Would recommend!

I like their fries and drinks. My favorite place for French fries. The staff is very friendly and the place is neat.

Five Guys is probably one of the best fast food burger joints I've tried so far and this particular location is no exception. Perfectly cooked burgers, wonderfully tasting fries (which, be warned, they give A LOT) and of course all condiments you could ever hope for. Definitely will be returning!

Exactly what you'd expect from Five Guys. Clean, food is good, and it came out quickly.
