I've eaten there twice. First time was great, but I was hungry and the rotting ass of a camel would have been good. Second time, not bad but not great.
Wendy's W is just as good. And cheaper. Five Guys could charge less for burgers if they would take it easy on fry portions. I've thrown away half the small order each time I've been there. And that's with two people eating on them. |

Quoted: I've eaten at one. It was pretty good, I'll admit. However, it was super expensive, and there are several other places, both local and chain, that make a burger that is just as good or better. Those I'm referring to act as if Five Guys is the only place on the planet that makes a good burger, In N Out has their own version.Quoted: In before the 5 guys fanboys and their incessant drivel about how good it is.

I have been to 5 guys 2 times, first time was with some good friends and I thought they were the best burgers I had ever consumed.
The second time I went with the wife, it was good, but not great, it isnt the burger that makes the experience you have while there, but who you share the experience with, It is a good burger, no doubt. I would go again with no complaints. |

They are awesome for their french fries, not their burgers.
Their fries really do taste fresh, with a good potato taste you don't get from the frozen ones most places have. Otherwise- They are reasonably good, but VERY pricey for a burger and fries. |

I've had it once. Wasnt bad. Cajun fries were lacking something though...could not put my finger on what it was though.
Best burger I've ever had is off Westpark in the Galleria area in a small burger shack. Buffalo Burger with fries. Shack is still there and its the best damned burger you will eat in Houston. Fast food Whataburger is pretty damned good Wendys - but for the Spicy Chicken Sammich. Burgers are good but nothing to write home about Like to try 5 guys again and smash burger |

I've been to several five guys burger joints around my AO! After three or four attempts at finding something good or any redeeming quality! I found none, nada, zilch! Five guys burgers IMHO suck ass! Dry, tasteless crap disquised as burgers! In my years if traveling around this great country of ours I have come to one understanding! If a company plasters posters all over itself convincing you it's good, it probably ain't! And as far as the "Zagat" rating goes? They must hand those out with every Zagat membership these days. It just doesn't mean what it used to. Kind if like how a UL listing means bubkis these days. Eff Five Guys!!

OhGodYesDoWantDoWantDoWantDoWant To me, SmashBurger, 5 Guys and a couple of other "gourmet" burger places are pretty equal. They're pretty good for store-bought burgers, and they've all got a little hook or gimmick. I lump Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Wat-A-Burger, Hardee's, Carl's Jr all together as "fast food" and, well, that's about the nicest thing I can say about them. I've never been to In-N-Out, but reliable sources lead me to think that they're fast food as well. |

The thing I have learned about 5 Guys is that it depends where you are at. The local 5 Guys burgers are great. Well worth the price. The 5 Guys burgers I had while in DC were outstanding.
I&O doesn't impress me much. Both are better than any standard fast food burger joint. |

Quoted:
I got a Bacon Cheese burger with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions , grilled mushrooms and BBq sauce. I give it a B. It was tasty and is much better than about every other "fast food" type burger; I think In-n-out is in the same class. I do not however, think the burger is worth the price-$6.75 with tax. If I were to have ordered even a small fry with the burger, it would have pushed into the price range of a decent mid level sit down type place. I also think for the money, they use cheap cheese. It tasted like a Kraft single to me. Pretty good, but not up to the hype. Totally agree. |

At 5 guys, get the regular sized burger, not the larger one, and get the small fries, and not the larger fries... Then the price becomes competitive for what you get.

Quoted: JL BEERS FTW ... Never heard of it ...  In general, any local Goofy O'Chuckles/Stinky's Place/Gooberville Bar & Grill is going to be able to produce a one-off burger that's as good as - and in most cases, better than - any nation-wide franchise or chain.

There is a burger place in Perrysburg OH named Perrysburgers. They have a half pound all Kobe beef burger that they only cook medium rare with sautéed mushrooms and onions and blue cheese crumbles. Bar none it is the best burger I have ever had regardless of where it came from. If you are in the area you must have one. They only make 20 per day.

If you live in the Northeast Tennessee / Southwest VA / Northwest NC area, head to Kingsport TN. Purple Cow on Stone Drive. Order the Mike's Intimidator.
1 lb. burger on a custom bun, they'll make it however you want it. For less than $7. |
