Ah yes. I vaguely remember it.

Finally got a chance to try Five Guys for lunch.

Lineup at Airdrie was decent for 12:30, plenty of seating. Couldn't decide on toppings, so I just went with a little bacon cheese w/ "everything" less tomato, small fries, and a drink. Will definitely be going back to try the cajun fries, and get more adventurous with the toppings.

BUMP

What are the hours for the Calgary location? I googled it but couldn't find anything. My coworkers are talking about it and I'll be in that area of the city tomorrow.

Open late. 8 or 9.

Tried it not too long ago. It was good, but I wasn't blown away. I still prefer Rocky's Burger Bus.

Ventured in to Five Guys in Deerfoot Meadows last week- about 25 minutes to get my food (most of which was in line- the staff did a great job of getting things done quickly). Definitely a good burger!!

25 minutes?!

Before you got your food? That's very, very hard to believe.

albertGQ · 03-22-2011, 12:35 AM

I waited 15 minutes when I went there, so 25 minutes isn't un reasonable

Went once, absolutely hated it. Burger was bland at best, made the make of ordering a cheeseburger. Whatever that was, was not cheese. I don't get the hype for this place at all, hell, I'd even choose a Whopper over that rubbish.

I considered it a karmic punishment for not going to Boogie's Burgers.

Roof-Daddy · 03-22-2011, 01:04 AM

Like the burgers, but I despise processed cheese slices.

I usually order one without cheese, bring it home and put a slice of real cheese on it....yum.

Like their fries too, I especially like the fact that you practically get a whole bag full of 'em.

Never hungry after eating there.

Went to 5 guys when i was in phoenix a few weeks ago. First time I'd been to one. My reaction? meh.

Perhaps it's because in the area where I live we have a lot of Steakburger and Custard places that make very good burgers so 5 guys wasn't anything special. I prefer Culver's, Freddy's and Steak 'n Shake burgers. I'll stick with Culver's Bacon and Cheddar Butterburger. However, I can see that in Calgary (where I used to live for many many years) it would be better than almost any other fast food joint.

What Calgary really needs is a Chipotle. I might visit family more if one opened up there

I have been to the one in Airdrie a couple times now. I think its the best burger around. The fries have to be the best I have ever had. Love them.

The atmosphere kind of stinks. All the tables and chairs so close together. Makes it hard for the staff to keep the place clean as well. Although it isn't any dirtier than the average fast food place here in Alberta.

Jordan! · 03-22-2011, 12:03 PM

I got a order of large fries and they gave me a huge paper bag full of them.. it was amazing.

and they have this soda machine that makes Raspberry Coke!!

Jackpot_Smooth · 03-22-2011, 01:45 PM

Tried it. Burger was good but not the best i ever had, maybe i expected too much. Definitely not worth waiting in the crowd (bad idea to go on a saturday afternoon). my kid loved it though. Might try it again if there is less of a line up.

I really like 5 Guys but I still wish Willy's was around....

expo2428 · 03-23-2011, 01:15 AM

Im up in Lethbridge but still haven't tried it yet. Every time I go there the line-up is out the door and frankly when I'm hungry I kind of want to eat as much as I can as soon as I can. Maybe one day I'll catch the place on a slow day.
