I Interrupt this Disney Experience for an Important Announcement

I just went to the new burger joint in town and wanted to update everyone on the experience.  5 Guys burgers and fries! That's what you get.  The place reminds me a waffle house on the inside, all red and white.  Menu is very simple, 5 big burgers 5 small burgers and 2 types of fries.  That's it!!!  If you need desert there is a DQ at the mall.

To the food part.  I ordered a bacon cheese burger with lettuce, pickles and BBQ.  Large cup of original fries, and a cheese burger for the first lady. She is still working so I will await her response when she gets home, (I hope she reads this blog and starts drooling) Burger was everything a burger should be, 2 greasy slabs of goodness with crispy bacon smothered in American cheeeeeeeese.  Killer burger done just right.  No California crap like Gouda ,Avocado, French Italian seasoned mayo with chapatti chips. Meat, cheese and bun...DONE. Fries were in a cup, skin on and chewy, not crispy, with plenty on sea salt.  Reminds me of the fry that sits at the bottom of the bag and ages to perfection before being consumed. There wasn't one thing healthy about this meal and I loved every minute.  Everything came in a plain brown paper bag.  What no branding??  Did they miss the marketing meeting?  NO.  The food says it all.  10 minutes after I ordered I was out the door with my to go bag, grease just starting to leach though the side of the bag. Oh btw they have peanuts to eat while you wait, ahhh don't, let the hunger build a few more minutes.

Thank you 5 Guys burger and fries for making Mankato your home.  This is and will be my restaurant of choice for now on, or until we get a waffle house.
