Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries

A 5 guys recently opened in queens off woodhaven blvd. My girlfriends sister and brother in law rave about this place so I decided t try it one time.
First negative- you can only get a well done burger, and the burgers are about a total of 3/8'' thick so you can imagine they aren't very juicy.
second negative- they claim there a cheap eat? 3 regular single patty burgers with fries and a drink cost us 30.00 that's 3 burgers 2 fries and 3 drinks, that's not what I call cheap, that's the same price as the local McDonald's, burger king or the Wendy's across the street and as far as i am concerned its the same food.
I can give them the fries that are real potato, but the so called Cajun fries are simply the same fries they just shake on some dried paprika, chili powder and Cayenne pepper before they bag them, and the fries are not overflowing out of the bag, a large fries is the same size as a regular chain burger joint.
as fr the free toppings their not all they make them out to be, jalapeno peppers, tomato lettuce mushrooms,most things normal joints will add to a burger free. and believe me they dnt create a whle new burger experience, getting a better burger would.

I love Five guys and fries. I have one near my house and its always great. The burgers taste like they are fresh off the grill, and the endless topings make for new and interesting burger choices every time. The fries are the best though, especially the spicy ones. They fill the bag to the brim, but its always empty in the end. Love love love it
