I'm a big fan of Five Guys. I used to wonder what people saw in In-N-Out, but then I realized that you had to get the double double and wow, I didn't know what I was missing.

Really, I think they are separate but equal. They are two different animals. If I had to choose, it'd be five guys due only to their fries. IMO, In-N-Out's fries suck.

Had Dog Haus for burgers (and a dog a different day). That was great but it was almost too much. The beauty of five guys and In-N-Out is the simplicity. No frills burgers that just taste good.

I used to enjoy their burgers (Not even close to in'n'out) until one day...................... I ordered a bacon, cheese and mustard hot dog. Best hot dogs I have ever had. They split them down the middle before grilling them so they have a nice snap to them. They are pricey for a hotdog but you gotta try one!!!

Went once to see the fuss and it sucked. The fries were terrible once cold and that is how I got them.

Weeze and I stopped at the one in Kent, OH on Monday. We had to run over and return our cable box and had planned on picking up salads somewhere.
We got the lady sized cheeseburgers, shared a small cajun fry, and still couldn't eat it all. Man, they give you a mess of food for the money.
I love fresh cut fries, Weeze doesn't. She liked them good enough. They were right out of the grease and nice and crispy. I agree with you guys, cold, greasy fresh cut fries are awful. I'm sure they'd replace them in a heartbeat, but I've never got cold ones at any of the stores I've visited, which amounts to 3, maybe 4.

I never received cold fries, but I just do not like their fries. They are cut too thick for my preferences. I like thin crispy fries, I have never received crispy fries at 5guys.

I love 5 Guys in Panama City, FL

We have a 5 Guys located in the Westfield Town Mall about 2 miles from our home. A friend of mine kept hassling me about "you need to go there and try one." So, I went, I tried, and really wasn't impressed.

On the other hand, my favorite place is "The Habit" burger grill. Its a small California chain with a couple of Habits located in the Arizona area as well.

They make an awesome charburger with cheese:dr

My backup location would be an In and Out...

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!

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.
