I need to give this place a go. Making me really hungry after looking up the menu.
Their burgers are pretty good, messy but good. You can get mushrooms on them that's a nice touch. Their fires are overrated IMO though, not terrible just people hype them up too much. They just seem bland to me.
I like 5 guys, I think Steak N Shake is better though. Different burger and fry style though.
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Fatburger looks like an inferior product, imo. What's up with the cheese on the bottom of the patty?

5 guys is pretty meh, Smashburger or Fat burger is 10 times better.
I'm seriously starting to believe you people who rave about 5 guys and firehouse, never get to leave to house.

Of the half dozen times I've been there it's been pretty above average.
5 guys though is just generic, like in-n-out. A plain boring burger. Maybe that's why Smash and FB are better IMO, I can get it the way I like. And Smashburgers Rosemary fries and ranch are the best.
It's allowed me to coin what I call the 5 Guys Effect: find a market saturated with crap, release something mediocre, and be praised as the best thing ever.
I tried it once, was not impressed.
Price is out of the range to try it again, last time was pre-obama so food budget still had some room in it.

Cook out if decent for price, but the ones here hire people that got kicked out of mental hospital for making the retards stupid. Order wrong, short or they cant even enter it properly (hows my burger combo $27?) so its a gamble. Last few visits left me leaving with no food and the plans to make a better choice next time.
They don't, but it's become almost weekly that there is some thread raving about either 5 guys or Firehouse. Almost like the person went out into the world after being locked in a basement being feed nothing but ramen, hot pockets and cold McDonald's for years and as soon as they get to try semi-fast-food it's like the best thing ever to them. And it's these 2 locations specifically, maybe they are bots.
i so wish they would open one where i live, burgers are great and so are the hotdogs
It's a good burger, but it sure ain't cheap for fast food. I'm usually more inclined to go to one of the good local places that have good beer and good burgers. Not really a fast food guy though, so YMMV.
Never been impressed with 5 Guys the few times I've had it. The price is outrageous for what you get. And the burgers were ho-hum IMO. But tastes are subjective and I love hamburgers.
I'll be honest I've only had a good burger in one restaurant and it was a bar.
