My son worked there (Frisco location) for a few months. He said they just
use standard hamburger meat, no seasoning, nothing. Fries are fried for 30
seconds removed to cool the fried again for a few more minutes to make them
crispy on outside and soft on the inside. He ate all the combinations he
could think of since they got a free meal per shift. After everything was
said and done he said there burgers where not any better than anyone else's
out there that did not use frozen patties. I tried a few and came to the
same opinion. We both actually thought Braums was a better burger. They
defiantly have a better selection. He said basically its like the Crystal
Burger or Krispy Cream affect.(Disclaimer- I think Krispy Cream are the
Best). You read the hype, or perhaps you lived on the east coast and ate
them there where they originated from, read about how the president ate
there, or read a review. They are no more special than the ones you get
elsewhere that uses fresh hamburger meat. They fry then in the same grease
and use the same type of griddle, same vegetables, same cheese, same
everything as everyone else does. Your told there better so you mind thinks
there better. Five guys sells only burgers,hotdogs and fry's. That's it,
nothing else, which is fine of course. To their credit he said they threw
out there fry's if they sit in the waiting area more than 3 minutes. But
the employees hated that because they get yelled at to get the fry's out to
the waiting customers who are complaining about having to wait for there
order even though there was plenty of fries ready they could of gave them.
Son was offered shift leader which he refused since this a temp gig while in
school and found a better paying job. They pay bare minimum wage, treat the
employees bad, have a very high turn around, 15 people came and went in the
few months he worked there from the lack of respect and pay they received
busting there young butts for minimum wage just to get yelled at and be
called at the last second on a your day off to fill in because some one quit
again.. But hey its a burger place. Anyways not to carry on but if this is
the kind of place you want to support then have at it. I wont go there
after all I have heard and seen there.

occupied by Prince Bistro (according to a sign in the window there).
These are perhaps the best burgers in the universe, and the fries
ain't bad either.
