Five Guys Burgers and Fries

[I,Galactus]

not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you got a peanut allergy, you better not be in the same parking lot with a 5 guys..

Yep, the one I went to in MA had peanut allergy warning signs plastered all over the doors and windows.

I tried Five Guys Burgers and Fries for the first time last night. There is one in Burlingame now. A couple of co-workers from West Virginia raved about them so I thought I'd check em out.
The burger was good but not remarkable. lots of topping options is a plus.
The fries sucked. They where a droopy, starchy, blob of oil. The peanut oil could have been a nice touch IF they where actually fried well.
Over priced! Almost $10 and I didn't even order a drink, WTF? For those prices I might as well go to The Counter.
For cheap fast food burgers I still prefer IN N Out. However, I usually will opt for a mom and pop burger joint. There is a place by me called Classic 101 Burger, I like to go there.
They were once a Dairy Belle but then started doing their own thing.

Do they have an acceptable position on forced ultrasounds? Today's modern super chains like to boss around the ladies and their damn wombs

so I went to In-n-Out to test that refried fry theory out, and I'm callin' bullshit like I've never called it before.  crispy?  yes.  awesome?  these were bad enough to put RAGER off of potato products for the next 45 years.  the ideal fry is crispy outside, fluffy and just a tad chewy (if even for only one bite) inside, and should taste, well, like a fucking French fry.  these were crispy/ oily on the outside and reconstituted canned shoestring potato powder on the inside.  I couldn't even finish the shit, and that is very, very bad if my fat gluttonous ass is leaving paid-for food in the container.  I want answers and I want them NOW

Good burgers are my all time favorite food... I mean, I can even smash fast food bullshit and enjoy it.  Tried the 5 guys in Pittsburgh and I wasn't impressed.  People rave about it so I guess I should give it another try.

I tried 5 guys one time and didn't like it much. Must depend on the locale. I will say that having it brought home as opposed to eating at the restaurant may have hurt things, but the fries weren't crispy and tasted pretty bland. The bacon burgers were greasy and had no flavor. Kind of truck stop quality at best imo.

which truck stop have you been to that has a better burger than 5 guys?Because I don't like 5 guys and I've been to most truck stops and I'll Tell you from first hand that everything at 5 guys is better than everything at flying j.

Does Flying J still have the good porno?

[Demon Lung]

I Never noticed it. Most truckstops have porn stores right beside them or not far from them. You really only see lot lizards in the south and in Texas

burgatory is awesome.

even though it's hot dogs and not burgers, i'd recommend station street hot dogs in point breeze. http://stationstreetpgh.com/

and for awesome bbq in the city, check out union pig and chicken in east liberty. http://unionpgh.com/

Going to Five Guys today.  I like how they have malt vinegar for their fries.

I just saw signs posted that they will be opening a Five Guys Burgers and Fries just down the block from me in a vacant building were a cheap sushi buffet place used to be.

[mortlock]

try the hotdog.

[RAGER]

Try a local place instead.

[mortlock]

he did say it was just down the block from him in a vacant building. cant get more local than that..

[Lumpy]

Try it and report back.

One thing I can say for 5 Guys -- their PR department is good. They get all kinds of media coverage and reviews. I'm not convinced it's because of the awesome food.

Do I actually have to specify that I meant "locally owned"
