Five Guys Burgers & Fries

[bdcp]

We all love 5 Guys, but I get the small burger and DH and I split a regular fry and rarely eat them all. Otherwise, it's just way too much food. FYI, their fries are cooked in peanut oil. They are very, very popular here and almost everyone I know loves their food. I haven't eaten there in at least 6 months. For us, it's an occasional thing because like most other fast food, it's too much sodium, fat and calories.

I love 5 guys. The burgers are top notch and the fries are good old fashioned style that we used to get all the time. And the servings are more then generous. If I go there by myself I just get a burger. If I go with someone else we split the fries and there is still usually more then we can eat.

I also love the peanuts, they always seem so much better then they do at at home.

Love 5 Guys....especially their fries. They're great!! Free peanuts are always good too.

In & Out is also very good, but the flight to get out west for them is a bit much. Steak and Shake is good, but can't touch 5 guys.

We've been twice and don't like it. Really don't like the fries. We usually give a place a second try, the first time we went it had just opened, so we thought we'd go again. We won't go back. Bobby Flay just opened in our area and I want to try that soon.

IMO, our Five Guys is actually one of the better fast foods in our area . Matter of fact we ate there this week ! The small burgers are more than generous, so we go w/empty stomachs...lol. We split an order of sm. fries, DH likes fries w/ketchup and I enjoy vinegar as it reminds of 'Thrasher's' in Ocean City . We also enjoy the green tea selection. Altho he loves peanuts, but does not prefer the salted kind. We also enjoy ours has an outside patio, so we can enjoy nature in good weather.

Love, love, Love 5 Guys! Always fresh, hot and yummy. DD and I each get a burger and then split a small fry. Love that they have so many varieties of soda, and the service is always top notch. They are always so friendly in my local 5 Guys

Their fries taste like they forgot to wash the potatoes before serving them.

Smashburger is 1000 times better than Five Guys. Mmmm...Smashburger is sooo good.

Not a fan of Five Guys, We all got upset stomachs after eating there. We tried more than once.

But Smashburger is the best. We have one 5 minutes from our house and its always my husbands first suggestion when I say I don't feel like cooking. LOL

The burgers are okay, but I do really like the Cajun fries. Since I have discovered Smashburger I go there. I love the spicy baja and smash fries

They're fine..I get the little cheeseburger and we split one order of fries for all 4 of us.
I haven't been there in at least a year, maybe 2.
Smashburger is my favorite, by far.
Then Steak & Shake and Bobby's Burger Palace are next-I like them both equally.
Five Guys come in after them.

We are waiting for a Bobby's Burger Palace to open here soon, very excited to give it a try.

We don't have those other restaurants near us either. 5 Guys & Sonic just recently opened near us (well, 20-30 minutes away) &, besides BK, McD, Wendy's, Taco Bell, & KFC, we don't have any other fast food places. I guess we have Subway & D'Angelos for sandwiches as well....

 

[spacemountainmom]

We've had smashburger around here for a few years. I like it, no one else in my family is a fan.

Five Guys opened about a year ago and we all like them. I love the fries with vinegar, however a small order is enough for all of us.

I've never had an In and Out or Bobby's. I would love it if we could get a Steak and Shake. My family doesn't get the thrill.

 

[DVC-Don]

I like Five Guys, but only on a day where that is going to THE MEAL of the day. Never, ever order more than one order of fries.

My DH picked this up for us for dinner the other night-our first time trying their food.

Burgers were huge & fresh & definitely tasted way better than "fast food" quality. I wasn't crazy about the fries, but have to give them credit for serving hand-cut.

That all said, my DH had horrendous indigestion afterward & I was feeling a bit heavy as well (only made it through half the burger, but I ate too much!)

Anyone else been to Five Guys? We might try it again, but next time split a meal.

We ate there once. I was sick soon afterwards. Have not returned.
Guess my body couldn't handle it. Its ok with McD however. Go figure. lol
Since eating there, more have opened in our state.

Not located in Massachusetts.
In-N-Out Burger
Smash Burger
Steak N Shake

We have a Sonic, but I have yet to visit.

I am not a fan of the one in my town, but I was the only one who didn't like it out of our group. (I do have a pretty sensitive tummy though)

 

[debbiedoo]

Never have eaten their. Never have wanted to. Hear the meals are huge though.

I prefer Johnny rockets or IN N OUT.

When the four of us get Five Guys we get junior burgers and split one large fries between the four of us.

Hey y'all, just remember some of us don't have:

In-N-Out Burger
Smash Burger
Steak N Shake

We have Five Guys. That's it. Compared to the other alternatives, it's pretty good!

We really like Five Guys but I just googled Smash and found one that opened up not too far from me. The menu looks good.

I went once and found it to be a totally typical overpriced burger. I'd rather have the $ menu from Wendys.
