So a new 5 Guys burger joint came to Burlington recently and my buddy JB and I ventured out at lunch to try it out. We got there around 11:40 and the place was a mob scene. It has been open a few weeks... this was not opening day or nuthin'! The place is pretty sparse, it looks like a barely renovated 50's burger shack but whatever. I got in line behind JB who is a veteran and prepared myself as if I were ordering mulagatani from the soup nazi. I ordered the regular cheeseburger "all in" or something like that. It meant w/ everything. We shared some Cajun fries which was fine, they pack a shit ton in the bag. It was a crazy process ordering and then watching the kitchen go crazy making the food. A bunch of people all crowd around like fools who crowd the airport line even though their row has not been called. We waited around 15 minutes which was a little uncomfortable but then grabbed our chow and cruised. I had my cheeseburger, the shared fries, and an orange Fanta which was the right call barely edging out Cherry Coke and root beer.
Well, the burger is pretty damn big. 2 patties that are freshly grilled and of solid quality. On top of that mine had mustard, mayo, ketchup, sauteed onions and mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Am I a fat f***? Yes. Yes I am. Anyway, it was delicious! The bun was great, the burger was great, and the condiments were great. The fries were a little mushy but tasted ok. I cannot eat this kind of food often and would never sit down there but I am giving it 1 1/1 thumbs up and will be back! Even better, they are opening another one closer to me on Church Street. i am just putting on my Spring weight, don't worry about it.
