Yes, be sure to eat 10 triples in one sitting and 3 sacks of fries. quote: Mike Blakesley I agree Five Guys isn't the best by far, but come on Brad, you know it's a lot better than those smashed wafers of beef that pass for burgers at McDonalds. Maybe they served me a burger made out of the fat sections they cut away, but no joke given the option I will choose McDonald's EVERY single time.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-14-2011 04:38 PM                        I, too, will choose the normal McDonald's cheeseburger over 5 Guys. It's downright delicious in comparison. When I see a 5 Guys I make sure to break the speed limit a little just so I get out of the vicinity faster. I still have never tried In and Out. I remember that Wataburger wasn't bad. However they don't sound very appetizing any more after I saw pictures of that one nasty apartment posted online. It was the messiest apartment ever and had Wataburger cups and bags all over. So now I think of that whenever I think of Wataburger and end up losing my appetite.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-14-2011 06:04 PM                        In Brooklyn we've got Rollin Roaster. They have burgers what are made with ONLY ground sirloin and they taste like a medium rare steak on a bun. Best burger I ever had. You know a burger is awesome when it tastes great even if you don't put anything on it. If you've got to pile extranious vegetables and crap on it to cover the taste of M E A T for it to taste good, you might as well be a vegan. For the record, eating at Five Guys is about as close as you can get to eating out of a dumpster.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-14-2011 06:13 PM                     ...and you take that McD's quarter pounder cheeseburger, pull it apart and take that packet of BBQ sauce that you asked to get while your at the counter, soak that BBQ sauce over that pitiful thing and it will help you forget how dry the buns are usually are at McD's.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 05-14-2011 06:31 PM                        For 'Vegas chain burgers, we too now have three Smashburgers in town, to go along with the already existing Fat Burgers and In-and-Outs and Cheeburger Cheeburgers and Tommy's. I liked the Smashed ones. There are no Five Guys that I know of here, but I've eaten them in Carson, CA and Seattle, WA. I thought they were OK. Cheeburger Cheeburger is the closest to where I live, about four miles away. When I worked at Allegiant Air, we ordered in from there one time. The prices were ridiculously high and hence, that was the only time anyone ordered burgers from that place.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 05-14-2011 08:10 PM                    Gave Five Guys a try. $13 later = was ok Doesn't have McDonalds beat, but McDonalds doesn't beat it. Five Guys is probably the worst fast food establishment, but it really is more like a local burger joint. It didn't give me that fast food fix (like McDonalds, Burger King etc)... I will give them some points for a number of things: 1. It didn't feel like they were trying cut costs anywhere. No need to ask for napkins, there were piles and piles of them. Same with the straws, lids and ketchup. 2. They do give you a ton of fries. 3. Burger is always well done. This is good because I like my patties well done. 4. Never frozen. 5. Cut the potatoes at the store. Unlike all the others. Repeat, not anytime soon. But I will go back.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-14-2011 08:41 PM                        The Five Guys I was at had lots of bins filled with peanuts. Why? It gave the place a very trashy feel. Peanuts are hobo food.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2011 08:41 PM                        quote: Tom Petrov Doesn't have McDonalds beat, but McDonalds doesn't beat it.

They IMO don't really compete with one another. Five Guys is all fresh, never frozen...McDonalds is all frozen simply heated up.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2011 09:12 PM                     I;m stayin out of the mickey dee's thing.

Five Guy is like a local burger joint. When I think I fast food, I will not think of Five Guys.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
