I stopped in the middle of eating to make this review. The burger is so juicy and tasty and fresh! The ingredients blend perfectly together with each bite. I gave an audible mmmm with my first bite lol. I have never done that before with a burger. The food is great. The service was amazing. The staff was friendly, polite, and helpful. Definitely one of the top burgers in town hands down! I will definitely be visiting again soon. Ten out of ten stars, but can only give five out of five.”

There's not much table service you order at the counter. They give you a number when they call it. You go pick up your food. All the condiments and things you would need are there and when you're finished you probably get up with your tray and discard what you don't want. They always & fresh”

    “Love Five Guys! However, stopped in today at the Epps Bridge Rd location in Athens, Ga and the fries were different. The were cut like huge steak fries and so they did not have the same consistency as they normally do. From what I’ve read, the fries are hand cut in house, so it seems like a weird franchise decision to stray from the well-loved original. Not saying they were awful, just not up to the usual standard of yumminess I have come to expect from Five Guys.”
