Julie and Her Five Guys

Made you look, right?? Melinda and I went and tried a new restaurant tonight . . . Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I had been seeing billboards on my daily commute for this new Zagat rated joint, so we decided to give it a try. The Midvale Family Center area is jumping now that they have replaced the old Mervyn's with DSW Shoes, Pei Wei and now this little delight. Their burgers and fries were delicious . . . and to the surprise of no one . . . I am still extremely FULL! We have a couple of tips after our first visit we thought were worth sharing. Tip #1: Get the little burgers. There is a section for regular burgers, but they are huge and the little ones are actually a real size. Both of us got the bacon cheeseburger and the bacon was yummy and crisp. Another of our favorite things . . . everything is better with bacon. Tip #2: Share the fries! As rookies, we each got our own order . . . big mistake. The order of fries comes in a cup and spills over into your bag. We each probably had about 3 potatoes worth of fries. They could have fed a small family and sadly I didn't even touch the surface. Share the massive amount of fries and split the cost. Tip #3: This place also has boxes of peanuts that you can sit and shell yourself. We didn't do this, but we could tell by how often they had to clean the floor, this was a popular feature. You can tell by the crowd that everyone loves a new restaurant. You'll have to give it a try and see what you think.
