I honestly don't understand the hype this franchise has. They recently opened one in my town, I tried it, and haven't been back since. The buns were your typical Safeway sesame seed buns, they used Kraft American Singles, and the meat was just ok. Nothing spectacular and nothing that other places don't already do and for a lot less money. I was always led to believe after reading about them from places like Imgur and a few topics in the past on here that a small fry was a small brown bag filled to the brim was fries, but we got a small cup in a small bag and they just tossed a handful inside the bag - most of which didn't make it into the cup and just soaked the bag in oil.
I'd like to understand why people go ape**** for this place. The last time I asked this on a different forum, it devolved into a 4Chan-styled thread with people claiming I was some sort of McDonald's Nazi. I'd also like to point out that the Five Guys has already put the building up for commercial sale. The owner says they haven't turned a profit since they opened and are looking to get out before they lose everything. They've been open for a little over a year. --- Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 4.5GHz | 16GB Samsung RAM DDR3 1600 (11-11-11-28) | eVGA GTX 980 Ti 6GB VRAM | ASUS 27" Monitor @ 2560X1440 ...

I like taking home a bunch of free peanuts but five guys is nothing special even in the casual sit down burger category.

5 Guys burgers just taste like regular burgers I could make at home. Agree, probs gonna get some INO in a little bit. I like Five Guys, my problem is they're are SLOW as hell (INO is worse but at least I'm in my car), they're expensive, sometimes the locations are dirty, and I personally don't like their fries. I prefer thin crispy fries, but I understand why people love FG fries. I like FG but prefer in-n-out and other spots. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't really think it's super awesome since at the end of the day it is just a cheeseburger and those are hard to fuck up in the first place, but it's way better than any other of your typical fast food fare and even some restaurants.

Yeah, they're not half bad by any means, but nothing exceptional either.

5 Guys burgers just taste like regular burgers I could make at home. I'll say it: InO is extremely overrated. It's just Wendy's with special sauce (which is mostly mayo anyway). I can only assume it's popular because of the "secret menu" (that's on their web page) and because it's regional so you get that "It's amazing I bet you're jealous" vibe from hyping it. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

5 guys is trash. The only argument I ever hear from their supporters is "omg but they give so much fries"
Yeah but they're basically forcing you to buy an "extra large order" of fries with a trash burger. No In and outs or Whattaburger in Chicago for me to try so I go with Wendys as best fast food burger joint. --- "This is war. There are no spectator seats on the battlefield." - Griffith ...

I'll say it: INO byron posted...5 Guys burgers just taste like regular burgers I could make at home. i'll take it a step further: the habit > in n out like both, but would choose the habit over INO any day. plus, INO fries are garbage (animal style is nasty and does not save them either). five guys i had 6 years ago and remember it being awful but i would maybe give it a second chance. --- "This is why you always use gender neutral pronouns like xir/xim/zxir" - REMercsChamp ...

I'll say it: INO byron posted...5 Guys burgers just taste like regular burgers I could make at home. Same with Whataburger Most fast food burgers are trash, at least 5 Guys has freshly made burgers with lots of toppings to choose from. I cringe everytime someone brings up In and Out or Whataburger.

I like it, but I agree
it's more expensive than other places and since I prefer my burgers to be cooked less it's not like it's even worth the upcharge since I'll still be eating a well done burger --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not overrated, just overpriced. agreed. if i get a cheeseburger + bacon and a regular fry my total is like $13. i can go to a 'real' restaurant and get a much better burger (that comes with fries) for $13. check out this local place i frequent http://www.pintroomdublin.com/menu/0/menus.aspx every one of those burgers is miles better than anything 5Guys can produce and their fries are a LOT better. --- Now Playing: Nioh (PS4), Titanfall 2 (PC) (~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~) ...
