Was in Staten Island yesterday and tried Standard Burger
They won best burger in NY and were featured on the CNBC show The Profit.

I was very impressed with it.
Tasted fresh and was very juicy.
Good size burger and the price was actually cheaper than what I was expecting.
$9.38 got me their basic cheeseburger burger with fries and a fountain drink.
My friend got the Texas burger and it was like $10.50. That included bacon and onion strings.
They have lots of higher end cheeses and such and even have beer.
The fries were good.
Had potato skin on them and a bit of the soggy feel/look but not 5guys soggy.
Would def recommend to anyone in the area.

What's the consensus on Dickeys BBQ? I'm sure we'll get a few ######## BBQ purists who will chime in and tell us how terrible it is but IMO it's pretty damn good for fast casual BBQ

Had one open up here in NJ last year. Haven't tried it but a few people I know liked it

Dickey's is not bad. But there's another chain called City BBQ that blows Dickey's out of the water. It's only in 4 states though. First store was 15 years ago, so it's been growing pretty steadily.

Have one of these City BBQ's in Cincy (or at least they used to...in Hyde Park). It was pretty tasty for "fast food bbq". Sides were always on point, but the pulled pork could be dry at times. It worked just fine in a pinch.Politician Spock said:

Been to bareburger once, when I was not hungry - wife who had been anti-beef for, well, ever.... suddenly is on "beef is ok if it's grass fed" kick. 
f'n chicks.
Anyhoo, "best burger she ever had" (which means one of the worst five she's had since childhood, also). It did look pretty solid, and the fact that you have to actually order how you want it cooked almost in and of itself separates from the places like 5 guys where,if its such good fresh meat, why do they only sell it cooked to death and back?
One just opened up near work, and I look forward to checking it out myself.

It's ok but the beans are awful.
I like good beans, and got the jalapeno beans. Zero flavor whatsoever and the beans weren't cooked down enough.
Everything else was decent.

It's all organic, try to be locally sourced, blah, blah, blah (because whatever benefits from that I've probably squashed by the time I drive there and back, but hey, whatevs) - but the chicks dig it.Bucky86 said:Maybe I can convince the gf to go to the one that just opened by us for Valentines day.Been to bareburger once, when I was not hungry - wife who had been anti-beef for, well, ever.... suddenly is on "beef is ok if it's grass fed" kick.

Five Guys today.
Fries are meh. Burger tastes like mustard cheese. Bun is sesame seeded again.
I hate this ####. In-N-Out is saltier, but maybe better.
I don't know, I think I hate both these days.

Interesting bump, I had my first in n out experience yesterday. Very underwhelming. Five Guys by a good margin. Shake Shack too, and nothing continues to come close to Fudruckers.

Had 5 Guys while at a tennis tourney with wifey and the daughter. 3 burgers, 2 fries, and 3 sodas = $45.
WTF?

Footballguy Jr.
Well your first mistake was 3 sodas. Free refills and the machine right there. 1 soda, 2 cups of water, there's $5 in savings right there.
3 people, 1 large fries is sufficient, another $5 right there.
Couldve done it for $35.
I don't get the 5 guys hate... Haven't had it in forever for dietary reasons, but I've been wildly craving that greasy goodness.

Anyone else try zinburger?
Probably one of the best burgers I've had. Itching to get there again.

Right.
Would call it high end burger place in comparison with those mentioned here but a very good burger

This stuff is still repeating on me today. I'm actually offended.
My Five Guys hate knows little to no boundaries right now. I apologize to Five Guys lovers; I just can't see it.

Been a few years so I decided to give Five Guys a try again last week. Burger, fries and drink came to $14. No wonder people want minimum wage to be $15/hr. Thanks a lot Five Guys.

When you have to start planning out your fast food to make it more affordable, there's an issue with the cost.

It's like Blue Apron I guess. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it as it's probably very location based. And in my area, the "Your Perfect Burger" is sold out daily. Just checked as the soonest you could get one would be next Monday and there are only 4 left.

you need a farm to do it, but I prefer to raise the cow myself. you have to arrange everything a few years in advance but it's worth it.

Went again after another tennis tourney. 3 burgers, 3 fries (one of daughter's friends was with us but she's a vegetarian and only ordered fries and I'm on the no potato diet), 4 sodas = $48'ish.
I dare say though, the burgers are ALMOST worth it.

I have to go to Annapolis. I never go out of my way to just eat there, but if I know I'm going (this Monday) it's definitely happening.

3 fries? That has to be like 8 pounds of potatoes. I never order more than one order of fries for my family of four and it is plenty.

We're talking about great burgers and it's 100+ pages long. I thought my experience there was relevant. I 2nd doubted myself when I realized it might be regional, but since I'm in the 2nd largest metropolitan area of the US, I thought it might be beneficial to a burger guy out there somewhere. Chances might be slim, but if one person out there benefits from my posting, then it was worth while.

There is one by me in SoCal. We go every once in a awhile, would be better if the burger was hot when it got to me. Havent been to 5 guys in awhile. Habit and In N Out still tops for me

Oh had Habit for the first time the other day. Decent but kinda stingy with the fries.
