I just found out there is a 5 Guys Burgers about 20 miles from my house. I have never eaten at 5 Guys, Is it worth the drive? From what I hear this place is burger heaven. Will it live up to the hype or is it overrated? Should I just hit up In & Out which is right down the street?

Its all the same, a burger is a burger period

You would not difference between a top ranked place or a small joint in your local town

[Landscaper]

Overrated just hit the In & Out.. save your time

Dad,

This thread, like all your others, is useless without pictures of MEAT

5 guys burgers are very good...same with their fresh cut fries

[tripleblack1705]

Never had one dad, I'd take the trip just out of curiosity.

Five Guys is awfully expensive for what you get. They recently opened one in East Lansing. I tried it and it was nice, but Crunchy's, the local dive bar, has tasty burgers for half the price.

Good burgers. You get lots of fries too (cajun style is what I get).

[joe blow]

Great Burgers.Sure you will have to pay a extra $2.But it's worth it

[Fishhead]

VERY GOOD

Get it with as many toppings as you can handle.............worth the drive at least once.

[vaqerro]

I tried one that opened nearby because I'd heard good things. Was definitely good but over $12 for burger, fries, coke; more than twice as much as In n Out.

ya 5 guys is very good, as in worth the drive...go whenever ur either in the area or in need of an adventure

Those Cajun Fries are salty (Order Small size Only)Do not get a drink with it this is the only place I know that charges $3 for a cup of soft drink.Cheeseburger all the way and small fry is about $10.60

Very good burger there if you are a true burger connoisseur you will appreciate them more then an in-and-out, I love the place

Not true. Ever eat at FudRuckers? Their burgers trump all.

[iamnomad]

on a 1-10 scale, about 8.5. meat is good, not great. huge selection of toppings. buns OK. they give u way too many fries (that's a good thing for some). unlimited refills on soft drinks. huge chain that began in the d.c. area. i believe former redskin kicker mark mosely owns a franchise and is also in charge of franchising.

Sorry about that, Mathy. Heres a picture of the joint with a couple of ladies you might want to shag. Or posibly even the two dudes if that is your thing.

But whats with the peanuts?

[zam77]

Been there once... found a hair, fingernail and paperclip in my burger... real tasty until this point though.

[pavyracer]

If the President eats there they must be good!

Thats just rediculous. It better be the best burger on the planet Earth!

[Dad]

Super models eat there.

[brooks85]

They got a restaurant by my fathers house, the quality of meat is definitely better than most and you wont get a greasy mess with a lot of filler. But Id rather a buffalo burger from ted montanas. mmm buffalo meat

I love Backyard Burgers. I eat at the one over in Boone,NC a lot on the Appalachian St. campus, it does a lot of business. They opened one up here at ETSU campus & the fuker went out of business in less than 2 years

I dont get it. I was so excited to have a backyard Burger in town & these coksukin fukin college kids couldnt eat there enough to even keep it in business

[ryanspeer2001]

Extremely good, very satisfying, and worth atleast a try but still -EV compared to being able to make an equally delicious burger at home with any kind of skill.

Backyard Burgers sounds like something made out of roadkill...maybe opossum or raccoon.

[captrobey]

Great burgers but expensive

[tltaylor89]

[raggman]

>You get lots of fries too

no joke--they fill your bag with extra fries

[Dad]

That looks super tasty.

[brxbmbers42]

[blackbeSSt]
