Here are some useful links for improvement of the article:
Initially, two IPs were adding complaints of the music volume that was sourced to Google search results. This "source" was then replaced in subsequent edits by customer reviews on tripadvisor and some personal blog reviews. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Unfortunately, all of these sources fail to meet Wikipedia's guideline for reliable sources. I am starting the discussion of the sources here to try to resolve the issue, or to function as a bridge to the dispute resolution tools should an RfC be needed. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 22:12, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Actually, because it's saying "the customers complained about", it's reliable in that it reports what the customers are saying. I would NOT use it for anything else however. I realize it's not Time magazine or anything, but it's them most logical choice to go when customer complaints (or compliments) need to be verified as happening. In other words, it's acceptable for reporting what the customers thought only, and it cannot be presented as anything other than "customers complained about ".

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Five Guys. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
source check}}
(last update: 5 June 2024).

Is the criticism section at all worthwhile? GASP! Burgers and fries aren't healthy! Film at 11! There isn't an equivalent section on the Burger King article. Should every article about obviously unhealthy food have a section about how unhealthy it is? FFS. If no one gives me a good reason to keep it, I'm deleting. -- ShorinBJ ( talk) 09:07, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
