Because of just that...they're slobs.

in regards to the "dirty" appearance, I think you have to remember that while you are waiting for your food, you are munching on free peanuts. They are usually all over the floor, tables, and everywhere. That is maybe why the places appears dirty.

I have eaten there many times, both brownwood and 27, and they both appear to be the same, messy.

when you are finished, you should take your bag, ect to the trash. But, I do not believe you have to wipe down the table, That should be done by resturant personnel. Our mcdonalds has a woman and her only job is to talk with the customers and wipe down the tables. She gets you condiments if you forget, and so on. The place always looks fresh and clean. She does a great job. Chick fa la has the same. Maybe 5 guys should consider that.

The price for there food is actually quite expensive, comparably, so they should be able to afford to keep the place cleaner by hiring more staff if necessary.

I personnaly think that you can get a better burger at outback or applebees anyway, and not cooked well done.....

desperatly need spell check.......but can't figure out how to use it,:confused:

The food prices are excessive at Five Guys in comparison to what you get and other burger joints in my opinion. I find much better value and better choices at other restaurants.

No, that wasn't me or Mr. Bonanza in Tamarind Grove.

What? Someone else has a Dobie in the Villages??? Wow!
All I ever see (mostly) are little, yappy designer dogs . . . except for sweet Goldens and Labs.

Okay, the joke is over.
I love all four-legged critters and some with two legs! :laugh:

2003: Five Guys sells out of franchise territory within 18 months and starts to open the rest of the country for franchise rights.

So this joint is a franchise, so it is upto an individual operator to run it correctly.

from their site

With the simple focus on quality, service and cleanliness, Five Guys has opened over 1,000 restaurants in less than five years. We are currently sold out of territory in the US and Canada and are not looking to franchise internationally at this point.

they have a hotline for complaints, most contracts entered into with franchisees have strict guidelines they must follow so if U feel the place isn't upto par call :shrug:

24 Hour Customer Feedback Hotline: 866-345-GUYS (4897)

An excellent post!
If the issue isn't handled at a local level with a manager, then the franchisor (home office) is the way to go.

My husband and I had a similar issue with a McDonalds.
We didn't know who that particular franchise owner was and contacted Mickey D's corporate office (online).
Within a few days, we heard from the local owner,
got a few free burgers and the situation was fixed.

You answered your own question. Because they are slobs!

They are the same people who leave the clothes they tried on, in a heap in the dressing room.

They probably leave their dirty clothes on the floor at home until someone else picks them up.

They are the same people who order lobster when you order a hot dog and then want to "split" the check.

Enter the obnoxious Ugly American!

First time I ever saw this dog, so perhaps it is a visitor. But he sure looked like a Dobie to me.

For Spell Checker on the internet:

In TOTV, click on Reply. Click on the ABCcheckmark in the upper right hand corner. Click on OK. Download and Install IeSpell. Shutdown all IE windows and restart IE. Click on Tools on the IE task bar and click on IeSpell Options to configure it for your use.

Bring up TOTV and do a reply. Click on Tools on the IE task bar and click on IeSpell to check the spelling.

During the first reply you will get a request to download an active X control. Click okay. Before you click OK save what you were typing because it will go bye-bye.

After it is loaded, you can right click on any note that you compose and click on Check Spelling.

You can also use this spell check on other internet sites. That is why I like it so much.

Disagree with comments about this place not being clean and a good place to eat. Their food was awesome! Brownwood's new Five Guys restaurant was larger than most, very clean, and the help went beyond what they needed to help out anyone!! Don't miss it!

NottaVillager 03-18-2014 06:34 PM

Love 5-Guys although the prices have risen a bit much. Not just locally but all over. However, we go there much less now because of those new fancy-dancy Coke machines. We do NOT want to play video games to get our soda! Hate them!!

Bogie Shooter 03-18-2014 09:40 PM

Now that is a new one!

I went to the Burger King on 466 one time and their kitchen that I could see from the counter was filthy. I said something to the manager and was told that they were awful busy just before I came in and hadn't had a chance to clean it up. I went back a week later and saw the same filth. Talked to the same manager, got the same excuse. I was rather loud as there were other people around and walked out. Will not go there again.
