Look, Five Guys may be good, but I'll never know....

Stupid sesame seed buns.

The one time i did go there I asked if they had a seedless bun for my bacon, bbq, cheeseburger. They little girl went to check and a couple minutes later came back and assured me they did. So, I ordered and waited. Five minutes passes and they bring me my hamburger...chopped and diced into small pieces and put in a hot dog bun.

While I commend the girls creativity and problem solving on the fly, I didn't order no darn hot dog. I just asked for my money back and left. Sorta pissed me off at the time.

Why is it that everyone who serves burgers on sesame seed buns only have sesame seed buns?!? Is it that big a burden to have some plain buns?

*Rant over*

Could they have perhaps used two bun bottoms?

Not worth the risk. Bottom buns have seeds hidden in them. If I miss picking one off I am in a world of trouble, so it's just easier to skip that place all together.

Don't get me wrong though, still love hearing about good food. Even if I can't eat it.

fresh jalapenos > canned jalapenos

I vote Five guys but Carytown B&F is good too

...try making BBQ in 100 degree heat with no a/c.


I still wear my Buz and Ned's employee hat to class, soot and all. Reminds me of how good I have it being in law school and going to sit in a nice, clean, air conditioned office for my field placement.

I leave you with the three worst words ever uttered in BBQ restaurant preparation...

Carytown Burgers & Fries is better

No it's not! They have regular, pre-cut, frozen fries. Five Guys cuts their own and cooks them in peanut oil... DEEEEELICIOUS!

My two sons, ages 8 and 11, swear the best fries in the area are at the Village Cafe. I have to agree with them.

I agree... Galaxy also used to have really good, hand cut fries. But they stopped, and now have pre-frozen crinkle cuts. BOOO!

Meh, I care more about the burger, I'd rather get onion rings.

Yes, but the cucumber salad is yummy.

Village's fried cheese is still the best fried appetizer, ever.
