I don't know, it might just be me but I enjoy five guys. Granted I don't have a lot of other choices in terms of burger places near me besides the fast food joints. I will try that hot dog the next time I go thou it sounds good

The hamburgers are fantastic.

The fries... well, you put up with the fries because of the hamburgers!

I'm actually not too picky about a burger. I'm perfectly happy with a double cheese from burger king for $1.49. But I've also never eaten at a five guys/in n out before. There aren't any near me.

Just checked both location finders on their websites. Absolutely no in-n-out's. Closest Five Guys is 80 miles away.

I did not want to rain on the parade, but I agree... Well, I should say I don't know what the big deal is. I am not a fast food guy, give me a pizza or sub over a hamburger joint any day!

Agree, all I kept hearing was "OMG the best burger place" My pick is still In & Out... IMO... -(P

Can't get em medium rare. Not a fan of that. That said they still tend to be juicy, but....I do love their fries.

Five Guys is OK, but we have a place called Juicy Burger near me that is a ton better.

I have mixed feelings about them...I dig the whole topping thing....but I don't really like their beef...but enjoy their fries....and not super happy about the price point

No doubt they are over priced, but I have no better option for a burger. Well Red Robin has some good GuacBurgers but that's more of a sit down. I hate Burger King and McDonalds.

Just opened up here in Canada, as far as I can tell. At least in my area. Little pricey, but tons of food and it tasted great.

there is one here in hamilton...guys at work say it is great but i havent been yet

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
There are a couple within about ten minutes. I like them. I also like In & Out when I'm out on the left coast, but then I pretty much like anything that's bad for me.

Malakai 08-02-2012 01:26 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Don't care for them. As a couple other stated local places are better. For my area I prefer In n out (of course) or The Habit.

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Five guys has a pretty good product for a chain, mind you. However, your local burger joint that's a one off is almost always going to be better. Yelp is your friend. utilize it.

The prices are a bit high, but if a person buys a large burger, large fries, and a drink, it's FAR more than enough food for two people. Two people can't even eat it all, and off the top of my head, that's around 14 bucks. That's not pricey at all.

If you split the burger along with the fries it is totally doable, now each person gets a burger then maybe. Are we talking 2 bros or a couple out on a date?

Dave128 08-02-2012 08:58 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
I agree with splitting the fries, but not the burger. If my wife and I go: I get a regular burger, she gets a single and we split a large fries. Works out nicely.

Now that I read this, I might have get a burger today after Batman:D

I am saying I can eat a large burger, fries and drink no problem myself. I don't like the fries though but could do it to prove Scott wrong :r

Maybe I missunderstood Scott. Scott, did you mean 2 large hamburgers, 1 large fries and 2 drinks?

Typically the wife and I split the fries, and she orders a burger and drink and I order two hot dogs.
Or I get a burger and 1 hot dog. I get a bottle of water.

**** I am hungry now!

It is excellent Jeff... maybe a few bucks more but well worth it...

Have one 5 min from the house. In a pinch, absolutely. Blows McD's out of the water for a fast burger. If I'm digging in, though, it's Red Robin all the way...Royal Red with an egg on top.mmmmmmmmmm

i love topping burgers with weird things at home. I've used egg and bacon, sliced filet mignon, or pastrami. the pastrami is awesome.

Good, but I prefer Fatburger.
The meat they use for the King burgers (1/3 lb patties) are different than the regular patties, and they are otherwordly; just amazing.
The triple King (3x 1/2 lb patties) is all I eat, every time. Just wish they still gave t-shirts for doing it.
