So, can we talk about Five Guys?
Last week, two IRL friends of mine told me about a new (to San Diego) burger joint called Five Guys, then two guys from the Interwebs also brought it up. I decided I had to check it out. I love a good burger, that's for sure.
Yesterday we found ourselves a few blocks away from one and ready for lunch, so we went.
From the start, I could tell it was a hot mess. The line was almost out the door, and I saw a lot if people standing around without food.
Turns out, Five Guys is incredibly inefficient and poorly laid out. All they sell are burgers and fries, and our order took a half hour. Fail-urrr.
By the time we got our food, we were going batshit stir-crazy, so we took our food to go. Later, we found a table outside that was, at least, quiet.
Here's the thing. My burger was good. It was really good, but for $5 and that god-awful wait, I'm going to go with Not Worth It.
What I'm wondering, though, is did we just come at a bad time? If it would have been less crowded, maybe I would have loved it. I'm curious what you guys think.

Sometimes they forget my Fire sauce or they give me Hot, and I get all confused and sad.

A few of the ones out in the suburbs have Fire sauce. The odd time I get to visit them, I'll grab a bunch extra and save them for the crappy, bland, fire-sauce-deprived Taco Bells of the city.
