Five Guys Burgers & Fries 3725 Mayor Magrath Drive South

Hey everybody, it's "C".  I can't believe that I am the first to post today.  So it was burger time today and 5 Guys was the destination.  Ordered the bacon burger and loaded it up with almost everything.  Grabbed some FREE peanuts with hopes of dumping all the shells on the floor.  We were fairly early for lunch and the floor was still really clean.  I would have felt guilty being the first to mess up the floor.  So back to the burger! YOWZA! Great as usual.  I love how they put your burger and fries in the bag and then dump more fries on top.  Had a root beer with lemon.  First time I've tried that.  It was surprisingly tasty.  Well I can't believe I at the whole thing,  ok actually I can, and it was gooood.  Not the cheapest burgers in town, but probably the most satisfying.  I wasn't hungry till supper time.  That's good for me.  Great food, good fun!

I've been looking forward to trying out "Five Guys" ever since I heard they were coming to town. I had high expectations and overall they were met. I love my burgers so juicy they run down to my elbows when I eat them and this is what I got. I had it loaded so full I could hardly open my mouth wide enough to take a bite. (but don't worry, I did just fine) We placed our orders and had only a short wait. I was amazed that my brown paper bag was right full when I picked it up. The burger was juicy and had good flavor. My bun was a little soggy but maybe thats because I like to put so much on it. It made it a little hard to hold but that meant there was more to lick off my fingers. They definitely didn't cheap out on the fries, there was tons of them. They were a bit soggy which disappointed me, but once I bathed them in ketchup I was able to get them down. If you are looking for a good burger experience you've got to try out "Five Guys". Not the cheapest in town but pretty darn good burgers.  "J"

Well, as the team already mentioned, it was time to try "Five Guys" I ordered a bacon burger, I was surprised how huge the burgers are. It was so good. I'm always up for a good burger. I love the way you order and I thought the place itself was cool. I found my burger was a little messy, but I'm sure these burgers are supposed to be like that a bit. There was for sure enough fries to go around. Wash it all down with a "Coke Zero" and you have yourself a dang good lunch. I'm sure I'll be back. Thanks "Five Guys" for the awesome lunch.

Hong Kong Gardens 425 13th Street North

I guess I'm a "chinese food" snob and didn't even know it. I was really looking forward to eating at Hong Kong Gardens today because it's been such a long time since I've been here. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the flavors of the food. I can't really pinpoint what it was, all I know is it didn't taste like I like my chinese food to taste. It was OK, but not great. That being said, the restaurant was fairly busy and some of the guys really liked it, so like I said I must be a "chinese food" snob. What I did find positive was the volume of food they served. I started with a small wonton soup and it was twice the size I expected to see. The lunch special was $6.55 and after the soup I didn't come close to finishing it. So if you are looking for quantity, this is the place to eat.  "J"

Yup Chinese again. Well....on Thursdays I'm really Hungry. This was a lot of food for not much money. It was super cheap and a mountain of food. It didn't taste quite as good as some of the other places we've been. I ate quite a bit of it but I didn't love it. I ordered the lunch special with shrimp. There was one thing I loved.....The Sriracha. If you're looking for a cheap lunch and you want to get really full, this is the place. It was a bigger plate than I would have taken at a buffet. I think it'll be a while before I make it back. "M"


I have no clue where these two 'Chinese Food Snobs' just ate, but the Hong Kong Gardens that I just ate at was great!  What a couple of winers eh :-) I was given a gargantuous serving of food.  I was completely blown away by the amount of food on my plate.  Usually I only see this much food on my plate when I fill it myself at a buffet.  So anyways, I found the flavour a nice change from the cookie cutter flavours of all the other chinese food restaraunts in Lethbridge.  Yes the rice and chow mein did taste different than usual, but in a good way.  The 'won ton' soup was misspelled and should have been 'one ton' of soup.  It was massive! And that was a small bowl none the less.  The service was excellent and friendly.  I was the only one today to finish my lunch, so I think I deserve props for that.  A definate two thumbs up from me today.  Best value for lunch in a long time.However it looks like I'll be going back there by myself next time, but go back I will, and soon!  Quantity 10/10, quality 9.5/10, service 9.5/10, a full stomach the rest of the day 10/10.  Keep smilin', thanks for all the suggestions, and Happy Eating.  "C"
