I arrived shortly after noon to for takeout. Surprisingly this downtown Five Guys Burgers & Fries has a decent amount of space with a full kitchen and customer seating area. Along with the traditional decor, is the usual friendly service and free peanuts to consume while you wait for your order.

I waited two minutes while the customers in front of me ordered, paid and received their receipts to go and wait for their burgers to be prepared.
The Order: 3 Little Hamburgers and 1 Large Fries.
The cashier was impressed I knew exactly what I wanted. Well, considering I've ordered from Five Guys Burgers & Fries at the Ottawa Train Yards, I'd hope I would have my order down by now.
I collected my receipt, some peanuts and a seat to wait for my order. With a steady steam of customers coming in, there was about a ten to fifteen minute wait. The funniest part of the wait was "order number 10" that was called out at least twenty times by the staff putting together the order. After about five minutes of off and on calling out the order number, this slicked haired overdressed customers waltz's in from the street and, after showing the receipt, picks up his order and walks out.
Soon my order arrived at the counter and I picked it up, then headed for the doors.
After arriving back at the nearby condominium, I unpacked our order from the usually grease stained paper bag. The fries, in their usually loosely packed nature in the bag, were plentiful and probably double the amount I get in Ottawa!
The hamburgers were the usual tastiness that Five Guys is known for. The only difference is the patties were little thicker than those found in my two visits to the Ottawa locations. The toppings were basically the same as well.
Overall, the service was friendly and respectably fast in assembling the order. The food was in slightly better proportions than normal. If living in Vancouver, I'd be back!
