  • TikTok is quickly becoming the best social networking service for fast food fans. TikTok users who work in fast food are giving their followers an inside look at what's really going on in the kitchen, sometimes risking their jobs to do so. Seeing how the fast food sausage is made, so to speak, is sometimes unappetizing, but there are exceptions. One TikToker is using the app to let his followers know the truth about a popular burger chain, including some advice about how to make sure your order is just the way you want it. Here's what one Five Guys employee wants customers to realize.

      Bacon, mushroom, Lettuce & Tomato cheeseburger. Fries at the nearest location are ALWAYS undercooked (never crunchy and always just soft/squishy), so I stick with the burger. Delish!

    As someone who worked at Five Guys, this is 100% accurate. Another thing that needs to be said is that most employees on duty are working in the kitchen, and they are working their ass off. So when a customer notes we messed up their order, the last thing we want is for them to be angry. One time I accidentally undercooked a customer's burger, and they trashed a major part of the restaurant, despite us offering to remake it. All in all, be nice. No worker wants to feel as pressured as I did.

    I've been to several different Five Guys locations and lemme tell you, one of the BEST burger chains out there by a good margin! I have NEVER been disappointed with my visit! Yes, the prices are up there, but after I've cringed at the bill and accepted the fate of my wallet, I sit and wait, maybe run to the washroom right quick, fill my drink, they call my order up, I grab my food, sit at the table, open that bag and forget all about what I just spent. Whatever size fries you ordered your bag is gonna be overflowing with fries with the little fry cup at the bottom somewhere as a suggestion. The burger, OMG so juicy and the cheese is divine! You get plenty full from it and it leaves you wishing your stomach was bigger so you could order again.

    So if they pay their employees equal to other places where does all the extra money from their outrageous pricing go? To them, and that's just greed. They know they're screwing people over, the customer and the employees both. And that small patty makes you feel cheated after you spent 20 dollars. You're practically forced to spend even more to get a double and they hope you'll get full off of the fries, not the burger. I've been there twice when someone I was with wanted to go and avoid it because it's the principle of the matter. The idea that because it's fresh we're charging you extra is outrageous.

      Five guys fries cannot get as crispy as you want them, they are thickly cut from fresh potatoes, blanched (pre cooked once in a separate fryer) then cooked. The training states that they should be crisp on the outside with a mash potato texture on the inside when fully cooked. Not everybody's preference, I am aware. But if we were to make them crispy, they would actually be overdone, and in most cases, actually burnt.

    5 Guys became too expensive lately , I went the other day and it was $9.79 for a little cheeseburger and $4.95 for small fries, adds up to $14.74, definitely not affordable fast food, for the same price I can go to Crave burger and get a bigger restaurant style burger and fries for the same price, like the Luther Burger, damn.

    Five Guys is good, but seeing the price for a bacon burger, fries, and a fountain drink go from $13, to $16, to $19.98 over the years is a lot to handle. With the price jumps, I can see why a person expecting to pay about $14 for a meal would say no to paying $20 for that same meal.

    I think they position themselves for better prices. More profits. In and out beats them completely and far cheaper and pay more to their workers and food just as fresh. However will admit after in and out they are the best burger out there that I have tasted. Though I heard Culver's in Wisconsin is better but never been.
