Shnate McDuanus Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My god, I had the greatest burger I've ever eaten yesterday. This is a fast food chain which serves burgers, hot dogs, fries and--well, that's pretty much it. They have two sizes of burger (Big and Little,) and what they call Cajun fries, which are their French fries coated with a blend of seasonings. Those are pretty good too. I think that the Little is 8 oz, but I don't remember for sure. I have to say, even though it's a chain, I've gotten some of the finest burgers I've ever tasted from them. They're very efficient, too. The kitchen is an assembly line right behind the counter. Cashiers call out orders as they take them from customers. I got a fresh, delicious burger within six minutes of ordering, and it was fairly reasonable in price. Toppings are free and various--I had lettuce, tomato and A-1 sauce last night, but you could always do more. They have a lot of locations--if you haven't tried it already, I highly recommend it. http://www.fiveguys.com/home.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbursted Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 They just opened one near my place. I agree, better than most, but the scenery at the Heart Attack Grill is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 We have a 5 Guys too - love it! Great burgers. The hot dogs are killer too. They slice them and throw them on the griddle - add tomatoes, pickles, mustard, and hot sauce and it's almost as good as a Chicago hot dog. I skip the fries and get a burger and a dog.

saturn Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My neighbor is a manager at Five Guys. She says everything is fresh that day, and what isn't used gets tossed. They are also big on QC and regularly send in "ghost shoppers". The employees get bonuses for outstanding service, so there is big incentive to please every customer.

NeoConMan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Looks little like In N Out Burger out west, but they have only one size of burger. You can double it, but it's still not very big. Very clean and consistent. 5 Guys, eh? Website says their based in Virginia. East coast thing I take it? Sounds like the way a burger place should be run - the way it used to be. I tried the locator and just got a mapping service. Why can't they just list their fxcking locations and save people the keyboard/surfing bullsh!t? And yeah... Silverbursted posted the Heart Attack Grill. GREAT PLACE!!! The chicks are secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Careful. There are often fillers added like silicone, collagen, peroxide, Botox, amphetamines, Prozac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Sounds good, I'm always up for a good burger and dog... I'll be in Boston next month and there is a 5 guys in Dedham, not that far away. I'll go check it out. What should I order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Vista and Baseline in Gilbert (AJs shopping center) Dude, I'd bet you could gobble down one of them $12 quadruple bypasses. Just a mere 2 pounds of ground beef!!!

NeoConMan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Ah... In my younger days.... Now (believe it or not) I order a little smaller and usually avoid the empty calories of the fries. Still gonna drink the Coke though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should I order?[/quote'] The burgers are regular (which is a double patty) and little (which is a single patty). I like the double better, but I usually order a little one so I have room for a hot dog too. Their dogs are killer. They also have great fries. Each day they post on a bulletin board the location the potatoes came from - always some city in Idaho. FYI, a small order of fries will feed a family of four because after filling the fry box they throw the same amount in the bag just for kicks! I quit ordering the fries (even though they are great) so I have room for the burger and dog. I'd say order all three if you really wanna pig out!

Silverbursted Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 With all this talk about Five Guys burgers, I think I'll go grab one after San Diego puts the final whopping on Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My wife and I go to Five Guys regularly since they opened here in Nashville, they have a few locations in the area now. I get the double bacon cheesseburger "all the way" but I skip the mayo. I order of fries for the 2 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
