Five Guy's Burgers & Fries, Plano, TX
Five Guy's was recommended by several people. My brother and sister-in-law ate 'discovered' it while on a trip to Maryland. They loved it.
The set-up is nice - it's on Spring Creek near Sam's Club & Performance Bicycles. Not fancy at all and the people are very nice. There's a sign that tells you where the potatoes come from that are being used that day. I like the red and white decor.
Simple menu is easy to use but a wide variety of toppings are available at no extra charge. There are 1 or 2 items that cost extra. I like that they always cook the meat medium well - and it does taste good. Meals come in a paper bag.
I had cheese, mayo, mustard, grilled onions and grilled mushrooms. It was good but not great. The fries were ok - I had the lightly salted (really really light on the salt) and a side of the Cajun spices (ok but nothing special). Lots of fries although I didn't eat even half of them. I'm a really really picky eater when it comes to fries.
Using lot's of napkins is usually a good sign for me but it was good but just not great. Since it doesn't have a drive-through window, I'd just as soon go to What-a-Burger (so would my other brother!)
I'll go back sometime though. This is a brand new location so maybe it was a timing issue. The grill must need to be seasoned a little more?
UPDATE 10/14/2010
I went back to the same Five Guy's Burgers & Fries and I must say it was much better. I got the same thing but without grilled mushrooms - cheese, mayo, mustard and grilled onions - and it was good. The staff is still very friendly and the place was very busy. I went in about 11:15 to beat the lunch crowd but people were coming in fairly steadily.
