Pricing:
This place is tricky. On one side of the menu they list the usual "hamburger" or "cheeseburger." On the other side they list "little hamburger" or "little cheeseburger." Don't be fooled. Their "regular" food actually consists of a two patty burger and is a very sneaky way of up-selling you an $8 burger rather than just buying a regular one patty "little" burger for $5. Fries and a drink are sold separately. If you buy the whole burger/fry/drink experience, expect to spend about $12.
Distance:
An Encinitas restaurant. Very close to the Encinitas Blvd./El Camino Real intersection. 5-10 minute drive for most Encinitas folk.
Thoughts:
So after years of Encinitas clamoring for an In-and-Out they finally give us... Five Guys. It's practically the same thing, right? Arguable. It's the same thing in that it's a step up from Burger King. But with unlimited peanut snacks and a space-age soda machine, Five Guys is definitely its own unique experience. It seems to specialize in having 5 bajillion toppings you could potentially add to your burger and 10 bajillion employees trying to actually make it.
The food is actually pretty good. The burger is dripping in a satisfying amount of grease and if you get the cajun style fries, your salt allotment for the month will be taken care of. Despite being a hair more pricey than In-and-Out, this place is fun to go to on its own merit. Plus, if you live in Encinitas, it definitely has the advantage of being conveniently close.
