I tried it a couple of times and I’ve got to say: mediocre burgers. I don’t really get the appeal.
I mean they have the audacity to still have the signs that say “best $5 burger voted by yada yada” when literally nothing on their menu is less than $6. (Speaking for downtown DC locations)
It takes 5 guys to make the burgers, but only 1 to carry the sign.
It was originally named for the founder and his four sons. Then, dad had another kid and redefined the meaning of the name to be the five sons.
Need 1 of each:
- Register/Lobby
- Grill
- Dressings
- Fryer
- Back of house/prep/dishes
- Manager
Jobs can double up depending on business
Five guys trick is making you think you’re eating less than you actually are. The cost per weight of meat is about comparable to other fast food, their burgers are just so huge that they’re way more expensive.
