They're all over around here. One right over in Kent. I haven't been to one for awhile, I'm long overdue. :tu

Are you near Pittsburgh? I'm a life long Steeler and Penguins Fan. I noticed your Avatar.

If you are near the Burg', do you eat at Primanti Bros

New one opened two months ago a mile from the house...YUMMY!!! :dr :dr

The one 20 miles down the road that has been opened for two years...not so much!! :td

About two years ago 5 Guys started popping up like weeds in the Boston area. This place has great burgers and fries. The location closest to me recently got one of those really cool Coke Freestyle machines. It dispenses something like 127 different flavors of soda.

We have them in Green Bay, but once I had my first In n Out burger, I've never went back to 5 Guys.

I pass one twice a day, to and from home.

I actually just posted here with the hopes that you might reciprocate and post in my pizza thread. Thanks!

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
There's one about 30 minutes from me. My friends and I go there a few times a month. It is kind of pricey, around 10-11$ for me, albeit is a large amount of food..well...fries :rolleyes:

I get a double bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce, raw onions and sometimes jalapenos :tu

They are too expensive for me. For the price of 1 burger and fries I can get a large pizza delivered.

Drez 02-29-2012 11:38 PM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
my favorite coffee house is about 2-3 miles aways and in the same plaza a brand new 5 guys that just opened up last month.

Agreed, not only are they over priced but I can name at least 5 local chains that blow them outa the water and I wont evan shame them further by bringing up In & Out burger. My guess is that people who praise them have only ever had McDonalds prior.. just my :2

I went their once. I don't get those slim Wendys like burgers. I'd rather have a fuddruckers 1 pound burger.

What a surprise! I really like Five Guys. Like In-n-Out too, but they are not in Oregon.

Oh well, as they say "to each his own" and you guys just don't know what the F you are talking about

I'll eat there once in a long while but their food is nothing to get excited about.

I tried it once, didn't like it that much. Prefer In & Out, or A&W.

Seems clear to me that Michael was talking about In-n-Out, of which there are none in Oregon.

Five Guys > In & Out

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Not sure why everytime I see this discussion on forums, it always ends up FiveGuys vs In-n-Out. They are not even remotely close to the same type of joint. It is like comparing Outback to Ruths Chris.

:rolleyes:.... I roll my eyes, regardless of which you like....just a ridiculous analogy.......

hammondc 03-01-2012 08:30 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Usually the response I get. They are not the same though. InOut is typical small sqaure patties like Wendys with limited toppings. 5Guys serves huge burgers with tons of toppings. They both make them fresh with 100% beef and it all goes on a bun. That is where the similarities end. Saying that they are the same is like saying that a Philly Cheese Steak from Subway/JerseyMikes/Lennys is the same as a Philly Cheese Steak from Pats/Tony Lukes.



...I dont care for either 5guys or InOut , Btw....

GreekGodX 03-01-2012 08:32 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Meh, they are ok. For a cheap burger they are good. Otherwise I could live without 5guys.

I have 2 within 10 mins of my house. They are good, but there are better burgers/fries around town.

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
I have a new one about 5 minutes from my office. Was going to try them one day until I got onto their website to check out the nutritional information, and needless to say, it is not on my diet. Holy balls!

kydsid 03-01-2012 09:32 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Had them in DC, California, Texas and in between. IMO, when they left the DC area they went down hill. DC 5 Guys somehow still manage to beat ones outside the area IMO, but still can't live up to what they were even as little as 5 years ago.

Dave128 03-01-2012 09:51 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
I have a Five Guys about 5 minutes from my house. I prefere to drive the 10-15 minutes to Juicey Burger. Same concept, but much better quality meat.

Had them on Saturday....not really that good. Try The Habit or The Dog Haus!!!

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
I actually tried it once when the Cerritos, CA branch had opened; and I did not enjoy my eating experience. Grant it that they had a Disneyland length line, but they had messed up my order twice, and the burger and fries way over greasy, and everything tasted like oil in the end. I also didn't know what to make of the peanut shells that littered the floor. I would rather much have In N' Out =).

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Haven't been there in years, there is one 5 minutes away but I rarely eat burgers at restaurants. It's better and cheaper for me to cook one up.

hotreds 07-31-2012 07:21 PM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Had one open near us recently. Also a Smash Burger- which we have yet to try.

Sauer Grapes 07-31-2012 07:54 PM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
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.

Was there the other day been a year since i have been there and really love the fries

Blak Smyth 08-01-2012 05:26 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
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!!!

Zeuceone 08-01-2012 05:47 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
Went once to see the fuss and it sucked. The fries were terrible once cold and that is how I got them.

Yah I hate their fries, you should try a hotdog though :tu

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.

Blak Smyth 08-01-2012 08:25 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
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

MarkinAZ 08-01-2012 08:50 AM

Re: Five Guys Burgers and Frys
 
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...
