The air just smelled like pure oil. As soon as I walked in I felt it cling to my face. Well duh Lizz it's a given when you walk into a Fast Food place but I guess it turned me off. My mini bacon burger was so salty and oily I felt sick eating it. This coming from a girl who loves salty everything! The fries were meh and again extremely oily. Maybe I came on a bad day but I would give it a chance if I were in the area like hitting up Spa Castle! lol.. maybe I'll try the one on Bleeker since it's close to me. There's too many high end burger places to choose from these days - there's a good one two stores down from my office. If I'm really craving and don't mind spending $15 for lunch I'll go for it but like you feel a perfectly good burger can be had for under $10.<br /><br />Lizz You know I was real excited to try Five Guys in Queens and was quite dissappointed when I did.

The original Five Guys was opened in our hometown [by my old high school] waaaaay back when [around the early 90's I think] anyway it is a family owned thing and back then it was AWESOME – always voted best burger in/around DC. Always.

Sadly the family has franchised it and I see now it is in NYC and I have even seen one in Myrtle Beach SC.

Funnily enough when I mystery shopped I did a lot of their new franchises around here – and the they all adhered to the guidelines given, but the food numminess has fallen off from what I used to get way back when.

Their fries used to be SO GOOD [twice fried, which they still do, but not the same] so I have to say I am sad that they are so expanded and not as good as they used to be.

But hey the Dad, Mom and 3 sons are now insanely rich. Too bad.
