Review of Five Guys

One of my favorite go-to burgers joints. Fries are fresh cut, amazing and cooked in a dedicated fryer. When I order my burger without a bun, they ask if I want it as a lettuce wrap or in a bowl, and they sometimes proactively ask if it’s “preference or allergy”. If you tell them it’s for an allergy they immediately communicate it to the person cooking the burger and they know what to do. It’s very choreographed. Expensive for a “fast food” burger, but worth it. I’ve never asked if they have gluten free buns because I’ve never liked the taste of fake bread, and it’s been so long since I’ve had real bread that I’ve forgotten how it tastes. They say that only things on their menu that contains gluten are the hamburger buns and hot dog buns.
