Wendy's is awful. Square patties are for squares.

Have to order the Fatburger grilled. Not greasy then. And the steak fries, the thin ones are meh.

Fudruckers >>>>> 5 Guys. At least there, I can get a cold beer. And they don't have dorks barking "ONE IN THE DOOR" at me. Also, Fudruckers has ESPN.
5 Guys is an abortion.

The fixins bar and hot cheese make it. The buns they use are by far the best I've ever had on a burger. Such a tasty combination.

Evolution Burger first time the other day. Better than 5 guys. A bit expensive though.

Where is Fudruckers? I haven't seen one in years.

I was on the street passing by 5Guys the other day with a friend and coming from inside I hear "Two walking by!" Then I see a group of four go in the door and the place explodes. It sounded like the final curtain call at a stones concert. Workers clapping and screaming at the quartet who just entered. Whackjobs.

We have one in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I go probably 1-2 x a year. It's a real treat for me. Terrific burger, all the options you could possibly want (great pickles, great peppers) and a cold beer. I don't understand you homos that want a soda or a water with your burger. A burger is a man's food and a man's food comes with a beer. I can sit down with a burger I created with a cold beer and watch ESPN without listening to a bunch of dorks shout every time somebody walks in the door.

It's right up there with chain restaurants and their "Happy Birthday" song/dance routine for obnoxious behavior. Exactly the kind of place that wouldn't sell beer.

I was told the reason they do it is to mimic the dealer/pitboss interaction as to give the place a Vegas feel. If you throw down $500 on a blackjack table they yell "500 going out" then the pitboss repeats it. So at FiveGuys it's "4 burgers ordered!" then "4 on the grill!" etc

Do you know how to do a post count in the thread? I honestly don't but would like to see what drove this thread.

I don't care if it's fresh. Fresh crap is still crap. If I go to a burger joint I'm not looking for healthy options.

Very true statement... I'm not walking into any of these places with my chief concern being health.

Fresh does not equate to healthy necessarily.
I'd MUCH rather fresh (non-frozen) ground beef with a good enough fat content (so not especially healthy)... it's going to be a lot better than a leaner, organic but frozen / not fresh product for example.

We go to these places for taste. If frozen processed stuff tastes better, I'm going that route. If I want healthy, I buyfresh produce and cook a light meal at home.

Good burger with the topping range they offer.
I thought vinegar on fries was a Rhode Island thing, but they win on the fries front too as we'll. gb malt vinegar on fries

I ring the bell every time at Arby's for good service. The Arby's employees go nuts. I love it. I then walk out really quickly.

I don't understand why people keep missing out on the fact that not only is In-N-Out comparable to superior in every facet of the fast food burger world but what makes them head and shoulders above their competitors is the fact that they deliver their consistent product for a significantly better price point than any of their competitors.
And I agree that In-N-Out fries can be a little bland but it's nothing a little salt won't cure, and ordering them well done really helps too IMO (although I do like crispy fries).

I prefer restaurants that season the food for you just like I drive cars that shift themselves.

We just opened a store in Sophia Square. I ate at Bubs when I was there. Very good burger.
Five Guys makes a very good burger. Far better than McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Jack-In-The-Box, or the like.
I prefer In-N-Out, pound for pound, even before taking price into consideration.
But Five Guys and Smash Burger are both better than any other fast food burger besides In-N-Out.
The fries at In-N-Out are not for everybody. They can be bland. I personally like them either animal-style or with enough salt and ketchup, but they are nowhere near as good as Five Guys fries if both are eaten plain.
This thread is making me hungry for In-N-Out.

Went to Five Guys for the first time today. The fries were really good. Better then any of the competitors easily. The burger was good but nothing special. Wasn't very distinct. In-N-Out has a distinct flavor. For those that like that flavor it will garner a lot of loyal customers. Five Guys has a good burger but kind of generic, something akin to a good diner burger that you can get all over. Was better then Wendy's, Carl's and McDonald's for sure.
One thing that was annoying at Five Guys was the standard "All The Way." Has mushrooms and mustard. Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and ketchup is a fine standard. I like mayo and think most would be fine with that. But mushrooms and mustard is not close to the standard IMO. Why not have the basics then if you want to add something do so. I imagine most of the orders are "All The Way" minus this and that. Just seems like a lot of wasted time. If I want mushrooms and mustard I will say so as your sign politely says is free.
All that said I might favor Five Guys, if they had a drive-thru, because their fries were so much better then In-N-Out.
Does Five Guys have a good shake? I didn't notice. Often fries/shake while skipping the burger and getting out quickly is not a bad move. Will say the Five Guys I went to was much quicker then In-N-Out. Which is a big deal. Waiting 15 minutes at a busy In-N-Out kind is often a deal-breaker when I want something quick.

Got a cheeseburger and little frie at Five Guys. Was $8.08. Skipped the drink. In-N-Out would be cheaper, maybe $5 total, but the Five Guys burger was a bit bigger then a double-double and way more fries. Was a small cup for fries but they seemed to just dump a bunch of fries in my bag.

I carry a pepper grinder in my jacket pocket, but it's for proper bloody Mary seasoning.

On fries, it means melted cheese, grilled onions, and spread (similar to Thousand Island dressing).

Off topic, but I generally don't put salt on my fries. I instead put salt on my little puddle of ketchup that I dip my fries into. That way, the salt doesn't fall off as easily.

First time today. Solid but unspectacular. Bun was soggy by the time I got home to eat it (15 min). Fries were all over the place. Toppings were a sloppy mess but tasty. Slightly better than most places but not worth the price, wait and lack of drive thru.
