Five Guys & The SI syndrome

YEP, it's happened again...the Staten Island syndrome. Take a well-know chain that is good elsewhere, put one on SI, and it's not as good. Outback, Checkers, Nathan's, etc...you know the drill. Add to this line-up the newest burger chain to grace our shores, Five Guys. I've been to others in NJ & brooklyn, and they were good. (great for a chain)....At the SI location, I encountered slippery floors, wobbly tables, Weak and/or funny tasting soda, limp fries, and a dried out burger. Although still somewhat tasty, I can only give this place 2 1/2 stars out of five. I heartily suggest all hamburger fans make the trip to "BURGA" on Huguenot ave. Winner & still champion, (4 stars)...it's the best on the Island.
