Well I decided to go to Five Guys to give them a second (and third shot... more on that in a few moments.)
The burger came out a little better this time but for me their greatest asset are the Cajun fries. In that case they pass In and Out.
But, still my heart and stomach belong to In and Out.
I also went back very late on a Friday night. Just finished a LOT of visits with my Cat clients and was still hungry. This time I did the Bacon Hot Dog which was bigger than expected and well cooked. The Cajun Fries again too much but good.
Now if they replaced Coke with PEPSI!
There was also "entertainment" as drunk men and women customers starting "Dancing" and singing with the 80's music. Well, Hoboken has over 200 bars and it's Five O'Clock seven days a week there!
One of the workers asked if it was my first time to Five GUys. I said I was there before and he asked how I'm enjoying the burgers. I said they are good, complemented the variety of topings and said it reminded me of a great Fast Food restaurant chain out west.
He asked which one and I said "In and OUt" To which a man in a messy grey shirt and torn jeans, helping prep burgers said "We don't say In and Out at Five Guys."
He was the manager. After my face turned red wtih embarassmetn he said he won't throw me out but reminded me on THIS COAST Five Guys rules.
One thing I could do without... the eighties music which brings back nightmares of High School. Nuff said.
