Five Guys Burgers and Fries- coming to Deerfoot Meadows

[redblack]

i went down there for lunch today, we had two bacon cheesbergers one large fry and 2 large drinks. The bill was about 28 bucks but it was worth it. They dont skimp on the toppings, the burger was juicy and the 1 large fry was enough for two people. They literally filled up the cup, put it in the bag and put more fries in the bag.. Definatley one of the better burgers i had. I think i will see if i can add a extra patty on it next time im there...
The only bad thing was that they were extremly busy, took about 30 mins for the meal to arrive but they have all you can eat peanuts.

It's not cheap but it's delicious. Budget at least $25 for two basic burgers, fries and drinks, and more if you want bacon or cheese.

well to be fair, it's not typical fast food. everything is made fresh, from actual ground beef, potatoes (hand sliced in store), etc. it's definitely worth the price. Also, you generally pay more for a burger and fries at most pubs/restaurants, and this is better than most of those, too.

Yeah, I was in the door at 12:20, and didn't get my order until 12:45. Still worth it though People were looking at me like I was an asshole for dumping the peanut shells on the ground, but that's how it works there, lol.

First place I'm hitting when I go back to Calgary is this. Along with Holy Smoke. Damn Edmonton not having good eats.


How are the peanuts?Baked?Boiled?Are they the big peanuts or the asian tiny ones that are crunchy and salty.

i *think* the peanuts are soaked in brine, and then roasted, although I really have no idea. they are basically the same peanuts-in-the-shell that you can buy in bulk at grocery stores.

Just got back and to say the least im Disappointed. Bring In-n-Out up here, seriously.

2xCheeseburgers
1xLarge fries
2xRegular drinks(Free, girl "forgot" to ring them in)

Total was $20.55

Pretty much got everything on the burgers and my word of advice would be to keep the toppings to a minimum, as it kinda ruins it when there is too much flavor going on all at once.

There was enough fries that 2 ppl could barely finish it. I can eat, but i was easily stuffed after the burger and half a cup of fries.

Cant see myself going back anytime soon. I rather eat the Joey's burger.

Why were you disappointed though?

High expectations going in. Everyone comparing them to In-n-Out, i figured they'd be just as good.

The bun was soggy and the bun really makes the burger.

The meat was really good tho, cant complain there.

Overall, i wasnt satisfied and expected something much more by all the hype.

[dirtsniffer]

anyone know their hours? i was hoping to go for dinner tomorrow around 7....

[adidas]

11-10 - 7 days a week

[pf0sh0]

Ohhhh man, so good.

Don't know if anyone is aware of this but IIRC, In-n-out will likely never expand up here unless they have a drastic change in company policy. They only give franchising rights to people with family ties, thats why they're only in Cali and Arizona.

Yessir, it's true. It's on their advertising and they're proud of it!

Maybe someone will move from California to the 403 to start In-N-Out... Don't know why though haha
