I had a great burger here and the fries were bangin! Got mine ATW (all the way). The wait was about 6 minutes but man what a freakin burger! The juice was running down my chin (easy there village boys).

THe fries were off the hook. Nobody makes fresh fries anymore. I go to the one in midtown and also a couple in CT where I’m from. There’s one on Rt. 1 in orange and another in newtown ct. Keep it up FG!

I visit the one in Whitestone/College Point often and LOVE it, food is great, service is great, I haven’t been to the one in Manhattan yet, but look forward to checking it out.

Moose, what was wrong with the burger when you went back to the one in Whitestone?

Beancounter, the one in Whitestone is on 14th Avenue and 132nd Street, next to a CHASE bank, kind of a hidden location for a FIVE GUYS.

I knew I shouldn’t have gone yesterday but the lure of a good burger had me under its spell. I wasn’t very impressed. Very long wait, terribly crowded and by the time I got back to my office, the burger was cold (and kinda bland). Yet the fries were hot. Maybe it’s the fries that are holding up the orders?

All in all, I prefer (and I await your scorn) Goodburger.

I went November 7th at about 8:00 at night so no line. I had a cheeseburger, which was very good. But in my opinion, Shake Shack is still tops for this type of burger in New York, and In N Out is tops in the US (and possibly the known universe).

1.5 hrs for a burger…even a GREAT burger is ridiculous. Perhaps someone could organize a little networking group while waiting….or, speed dating. Hey, it’s NY; gotta be into that time management thing.

The Manager deserves a BIG PUNCH IN THE PUSS! The wait time was ridiculous and if he had half a brain he would’ve told customers about the insane wait time BEFORE they paid. Anyone with such little sense about customer service has NO business being in Manhattan! Burger was pretty good. If my wait time was 15 minutes or less I would certainly go back, but based on what I saw, no way (at least for a long long time).

Great burger joint. Once the opening day kinks are worked out – I’m sure it will be a mainstay eatery in midtown Manhattan. Go FIVE GUYS!!!!!

Great place for a burger and great place for man hunting.

I live in New Jersey and Five Guys has been opening up stores left and right. I’ve been to 3 in my area and never had to wait more than 5 minutes after ordering. I sit and eat the free peanuts they offer. Do they have these in N.Y.? Definitely the best fast food burger I’ve had. The fries are perfect as well. Never too oily. From what I hear, the food varies from location to location although all 3 that I’ve gone to have been consistent. The food is fresh and made to order. That’s why it takes awhile, especially in a store that has a lot of traffic. You would do better to go to one that doesn’t do the volume of business that this particular one does.
