akakirby · 11-01-2010, 03:50 PM

agreed, good burgers and I love the cajun fries!

Blueface · 11-01-2010, 03:56 PM

I rate them up there with In N Out.
Both have the best burgers in the fast food business.

They Are Good!

Had Some Today!

Remember To Order A Small Order Of Fries; It's More Than Enough For 2 People!

There is one across the street from my Cardiologist.
Just went to see him a few weeks back.
Before the appointment, went to 5 Guys and pigged out.
Went to the office and he could smell me a mile away.
Told him I figured if I was going to die from that burger from a heart attack, it would at least be in his office.

Am I the only one who thinks these are way overpriced and not worth the hype??

No, I agree with you. I will say that the fries are really good. But the burgers honestly did nothing for me. It cost about $11 for a burger, fries and a drink. I can go up the street to a unbelievable steak house and get a hand ground burger that's 1/2 pound and hand cut fries for $10.

hotreds · 11-01-2010, 04:09 PM

We love 'em!

Yeah, it's a bit steep. Yesterday, 2 burgers, large fries, and a drink was $18 I think. The large fries was an entire basket I think.

Five Guys is awesome and recently was voted best fast food burger in the nation ahead of In-N-Out in Zagats. But I still prefer In-N-Out just a touch more.

In my town, two burgers (doubles), reg fries (feeds two to three and then some) and two drinks is under $18.

The way I see it, I can do a Double Stack meal at Wendy's for $3.00 and feel like I am eating rubber or I can pay $5 more and have the best.

I agree, up in MD could barely get my mouth around the double cheeseburger, down here they smash the burgers down with a press like Steak and Shake

once a week lunch stop for us.

About a PC round trip journey.... with a bit of wandering.

Best part of going there is watching "rookies" that let their 4 kids each order a large fry.

Love going to Five Guys. Usually the sack is so full of fries you have to dump it out on a plate just to get the burger. It's Awesome!!

Nope, I hate those small patty grease burgers. I've been there once...there was a lot of hype and I was pretty hungry. Didn't do it for me. The fries are fresh cut...meh...they just take a whole potato and throw in through a press. Then deep fry them it takes like 3 minutes and 30 seconds for fresh cut fries. I worked at a VERY VERY similar burger joint a few years back, never could eat the food.

I prefer Smash Burger and In N Out
