Five Guys in Calgary

“O gentle hearts, lend me thine ears and appetites,
For I hath wandered ‘neath neon moons and starless skies,
To find where patties sizzle and sauces flow
Like sonnets sung on summer’s breathless eve.

Lo! At Thy Burger Bastion did I dine,
Where buns be pillowed soft as Juliet’s cheek,
And meats, seared with the fire of a thousand stars,
Did melt upon my tongue like whispered vows.
The cheddar, aged as ancient scrolls of lore,
Was laid with care upon the beef so bold—
A union truer than Verona’s own doomed lovers.

The lettuce, crisp as morning’s first sweet sigh,
Did dance 'twixt sauces spiced with passion’s flame.
O fries, thou golden shards of heaven’s own feast,
Salt-kissed and evermore delightful!

The host, with countenance fair and manner grave,
Did greet with warmth that knew no idle pride.
And all the while, sweet melodies did play,
Not loud nor bold, but soft as lullaby.

Would I return? Aye, a thousand times aye!
For where else doth the tongue rejoice so bright,
And mortal hunger find immortal balm?

Thus do I raise my voice in praise sincere:
If ever thou dost crave love served on a plate,
Then hie thee hence to Thy Burger Bastion, dear.

Five stars, as constant as the northern light. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I love Five Guys. It's been several years since I've eaten here and it did not disappoint.

When I walked inside, I noticed a man standing watching over the dining area. Her was in uniform, looking over the dining area. He was attentive and very engaged. He began sweeping the floor, quite aggressively in some cases which might have made some people uncomfortable but was doing a great job. He cleaned the tables as people left their mess behind and discarded the trash. I suspected some folks were feeling a little nervous based on this person's behaviour. It took me a couple of minutes to realize that he was a bit different.

I just wanted to note that I really appreciate this establishment giving this person a chance. Life is hard enough as it is and we need more organizations like this helping people.

Kudos to the staff, MGMT and of course the hard worker.
Cheers,

“Had a great experience at Five Guys thanks to Keshav! He was super friendly, welcoming, and professional while handling customer service. You can tell he genuinely cares about customers and makes everyone feel comfortable. The food was also prepared perfectly-fresh, fast, and really well made. It’s rare to see someone manage both cooking and customer service so smoothly during busy hours. Big respect to Keshav for the hard work and positive attitude. Definitely one of the reasons I’d come back again!“

“5 Guys is my favourite burger, never been to this location before,I was greeted pleasantly by the team, the burger was very good as usual, but the Cajun fries were so salty to the point of being inedible .
The place was messy but they were in the process of cleaning it up . I was there about 8 pm and it wasn’t busy, it took about 15 minutes to receive my order“

“Best Qsr I’ve ever visited. I ordered regular fries but their portion size is insane. Sad part is they don’t have anything in chicken. My humble suggestion to #Fiveguys management to bring chicken to the menu. Veggie sandwich is ok. But the milkshakes OMG it’s heaven. I felt drowsy after finishing the meal. A lot better than McD, Wendy’s, Burger King and other burger QSR joints“

“Five guys is always my favorite burger shop to go to! People are always friendly and obviously make really good food every time!
I love that you get to snack on free peanuts while you wait for your food, so good! I come from a place with no Five Guys so it's always such a special treat. Definitely recommend!“

“Great food. Service is good, but can be improved. Atmosphere offers some novelty whilst waiting (the peanuts 🥜).

I've been here a few times to get my burger fix. Very tasty food. You can get so many different types of toppings. The burger patty is phenomenal. We got asked how many patties we wanted but have no idea how many each burger comes with, so it felt like a question we could not answer - prior to ordering the food. The milkshakes are good and you can mix and match flavours which offers nice flexibility.

Twice now we have ordered, paid and waited for our meal, only to find that the milkshakes were forgotten both times, so we needed to alert them to make them. This may be a gap in their ordering workflow. I noticed that they had to refill the milk as well which increased waiting times. We dined in their outdoor patio once which was fine. The interior offers a small burger joint feel with historical news on the wall, and where their potatoes came from that day - a nice touch. I enjoyed the music the play there, no swearing or rap, but soft rock to match the atmosphere and family friendliness. I wish they had an arcade game to use whilst waiting. I noticed that some people take free drinks from the soda dispenser (whether with their own water bottles or refilling). That doesn't feel right, unless there was a sign which said so which I missed.

I'll be back for more burgers. Staff seem to be busy and working as a team with smiles on. Makes me feel like they actually want to be there rather than waiting for shift to end.“
