So I tried Five Guys last night
Fries = legit, still had a really nice texture even after a journey in the front of my scooter in the rain. Massive serving. There’s a station at the back of the ordering line where you can fill your own tubs of ketchup, mayo and malt vinegar, so your chips get sauces and stuff entirely to your liking
Burger = got a cheeseburger. Thought it was decent; probably not worth as much as it actually cost, but I did like being able to customise it fully for no extra charge.
Shake = basic vanilla for testing purposes, was thicc
I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Five Guys again, but if you’re in the area it’s pretty solid fast food
More deets on the shake? Worth $11? Would try a peanut butter + choc one personally. Agree with your overall sentiment.
If you loaded it up - which you can, they’re customisable - it might be. Basic vanilla sans loading is not…but I did that on purpose to judge the blankest canvas, so that’s on me.
The texture’s insanely thick and rich. I see potential, if not perfection
Noted, thank you.
The combo that appeals to me personally is banana, peanut butter and (maybe) Biscoff. It does seem to be real bananas - I saw some real bananas going in when I was waiting
