Five Guys - Watertown

Out of all the Five Guys we have been to, this one had the longest wait and it wasn't busy. Other than that, the food was good. The orders were all correct. The place was pretty clean, bathrooms clean.

Warning. This place will ruin your life. I 've had fast food burgers a lot in my lifetime. I 've had burgers in restaurants that weren 't so fast as well. All burgers that you get outside of someone 's home have one thing in common: they aren 't as good as a homemade burger. There 's just something about a homemade hamburger or cheeseburger that restaurants can 't compete with. It 's the freshness, the love, the quality of ingredients, and there 's that something special when you bite into it the words can 't even capture. I had been told that the french fries here were good. They were spectacular. I mean, a restaurant that only does a few things needs to do them really well. This place makes me wish I had a much better metabolism. The flavor on the Cajun fries was actually Cajun. It wasn 't some person who 's never been to the South 's interpretation of what they think Cajun is supposed to be. It really tasted like Cajun food. But then came the burger. It was simple in it 's presentation. Innocuous in the plain aluminum square that had been wrapped around it. It didn 't look like a restaurant burger when I pulled it out of the bag and began to unwrap it. Then I bit in. When I say I shouted 'Shut up! ' and slapped the table, I mean the people in the back that were cooking heard me and giggled. These girls are doing their thing. The burger that I had was prepared by Christie and the fries were, I 'm not exaggerating, expertly prepared by Carson. The pride that these girls at this location have in what they are serving people can be tasted. You might have had a good burger somewhere. You might have even had a good burger at a Five Guys. But until you go in, sit down, and eat it as soon as it 's ready you will not understand the ridiculous amount of joy that a simple burger can bring. Don 't take it to go. It 's made to be eaten as soon as it 's ready. Don 't go eat it in your car. Sit inside the restaurant, listen to the good music, and really take in the whole experience. If you take it to go, your fries are not going to be as fantastic and crisp as they are the moment they come out of the fryer and go into that bag. Your burger will begin to lose it 's oh-my-goodness within about 10 minutes and then you will miss out on the whole experience. I know I 'm rambling. But it 's because this food was so good it might have changed my life. The lobby guy was cleaning every two or three minutes and you couldn 't find dirt if you wanted to. It is a health inspector 's dream. The bathroom is a single toilet set up. This place will ruin your life because you will never find the perfect combination of staff that love what they are doing and food that loves to be eaten. Plus they have free peanuts.

Great burger, hotdog, fries great toppings available (especially grilled mushrooms) great service friendly, fun, knowledgeable. One of our favorite stops travelling south or north on I 81. Just tried a milkshake for the first time also delicious...

I've been to Five Guys in other states but this was my first time in this state and they didnt disappoint! Each location tastes pretty much the same and has the same look with the peanut oil and bags of potatoes around. This location had the nicest people! Everyone was friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. I didn't even mind my food took a couple extra minutes because the people were so friendly and upbeat! Also, the amount of fries always makes me laugh because 2 large fries can feed a family of 5!

Haven't had Five Guys in 7 years since it's not in my area. Loved the food and the staff was fun and friendly!
