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

Retiredguy · 08-01-2012, 08:51 PM

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, 02:26 AM

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.

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.

Will have to try it soon. Thanks.

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, 09:58 AM

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

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

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...

JPjr · 08-06-2012, 11:07 AM

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

pektel · 08-07-2012, 07:02 PM

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.
