Crusty Nutsack posted:yes, I feel like shake shack is better on almost every level except for sheer amount of food you get because of the stupid fries thing Shake Shack has a better burger cooking method than Five Guys, a properly done smash style burger is great. The one Shake Shake I've been to was super slow though, and their crinkle fires aren't good either. For that style of burger I'd say Smashburger and Culver's are both better, and if you're in the Nashville area Hugh Baby's is basically a less pretentious Shake Shack with better food and faster service.

I can get 2 double burgs and a huge fry for $23. I don’t see what all the expensive fuss is about. I think it’s pretty good bang for your buck.

I had five guys on someone else’s dime last week. I remembered the tip to let the cheese melt for a bit before unwrapping. Also got Cajun fries. It was aggressively okay, but it tried too hard. Should have gone to in n out across the street.

Secret to success: Little Burger with .5x mayo, .5x mustard, .5x relish, .5x ketchup, 1x grilled onions, .5x BBQ sauce (their BBQ sauce is tang af), cheese if you want it, ask them to grill the bun, and a bit of the the gigantic order of fries whoever you went there with had. (for a real good time, turn anything mentioned as ".5x" to "1.0x" and squeeze the burger into a dipping cup to use as fry-dipping sauce.

Gotta get the little, less toppings, and know that the small fry is enough. Plus soda, way less than $20. Plus if YOU gently caress up and don't tell them when you get there when you ordered online, they'll give you a $5 gift card without blinking.

I love the little with all those toppings because, like I said before, it provides it's own fry-dipping sauce lol, and you know whoever you went with got way too many fries.

I like 5G but we usually only get food like that to take home and the smell of grease renders my car uninhabitable for like a week and a half. That's all I got to say about that.

Praise be to Five Guys for letting you add malt to any shake flavor. Also, they offer oreo creme and oreo cookie as separate flavors, that’s some real psycho poo poo. The bacon cheeseburger with everything is king, but when I’m feeling a little less hungry, or the mood just strikes? The BLT with pickles is an unsung hero. Comparatively cheap and they really treat you right with the bacon.

Got a Five Guys in Plymouth, UK, today. I went and hosed up and forgot to order the small Bacon Cheeseburger so the ratios were all wrong, it really does make a difference. Also we don’t have A1 sauce over here, they’ve subbed in HP Sauce for it and HP Sauce isn’t a burger topping at all. And the patties were under seasoned. Cajun fries were pretty cool though, and I like the way they cook their fries in general. I’ve had it before at Portsmouth (also in the UK) and it was loads better before. Oh well. Edit: also the pickles on the burger were really good quidditch it and quit it fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Mar 4, 2020 |

5 guys is pretty good, but the best burger I've had in years was at my local bowling alley. The perfectly toasted brioche bun is the key. Generally the best burgers are found in bars, although I ordered one a few years ago and the waiter thought for a minute and said, "yeah, we can do that, I smelled the meat this morning and it was OK"

sean10mm posted:Five Guys is extremely overrated IMO. I like the burgers mostly because I can customize the poo poo out of them but hell yeah the hot dog is really good. I get mine with ketchup, mustard, relish and onions. Good fast food hot dogs are hard to find unless you're talking food trucks or Costco/Sam's club and I work the nightshift so I'm pretty limited on my meat tube options. Cajun fries are the poo poo, but why are they so much soggier than the regular fries? The seasoning? I don't get it. Does it soak up the grease when they toss it in a bowl after frying? e: I want you all to know since I had to know that one of my co-workers once piggybacked on my 5 guys online order and her burger order consisted of a plain burger with 2x mayo, 2x hot sauce and lettuce. I cannot loving imagine trying to eat that sloppy poo poo. empty sea fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Mar 21, 2020 |

worked at five guys and would never eat there, imo. The burgs are nothing special, it's just overpriced smash burger with an unseasoned patty. The fries are decent. Surprised they are doing milkshake and chicken now, tho. In all the corporate training poo poo we watched they said those were "unfeasible" lol. Also the utterly disgusting amount of food they waste is absurd.

Five guys does get props for putting malt vinegar on the tables. Every restaurant should do that imo, it disguises bad fries.

Five Guys had their brief moment in the sun before far superior burger chains like Shake Shack, Bareburger, and Culver's expanded everywhere. They were first in the fast casual burger chain rush, but were eclipsed long ago on taste and price. Why bother when I can go to Shake Shack and get a much more delicious burger or chicken sandwich and dip their very tasty fries in that great sauce? So satisfying. Never cared for Five Guys' stupidly large portions of overpriced fries that get tossed in the trash after no one eats them all either. Shake Shack has a superb vegetarian option in their portobello burger, probably the best vegetarian item in fast food. Their shakes are legit, like the loving amazing black sesame shake. Same deal with Bareburger with their 5 different veggie burgers plus that mexican chocolate milkshake. drat, it's good. Five Guys has a mediocre grilled cheese and equally lame two buns with toppings "veggie sandwich" as their vegetarian options. Their shakes are forgettable too.

I got 5 guys the other day and I still don't understand why the cajun fries are so limp compared to the regular fries? They good, but they limp af. Does the spice mix really do that much post frying? Or do they cook it differently? Also I love the fact that 5 guys does not play and if you want condiments, you get loving condiments. You want toppings? You get loving toppings. My burger ended up being eaten over a few hours at my shift and it was falling apart, but still delicious by the end. You can say what you want about 5 guys but they'll give you a burger and fries that will last you a while and still taste good and that poo poo counts on a 13 hour shift. I literally didn't have to eat any of the food I brought. That burger lasted me for hours.

Their fries have gotten better, I'll give them that. It used to be a 1lb bag of soggy, greasy potatos with you burger buried at the bottom. Their burgers are good, but way too expensive. Also, I've come to dislike the vertiburg, where meat and toppings are condensed into a smaller diameter bun, and piled high. With thinner meat patties and toppings spread over a larger diameter bun you might justify the price, while removing the sensation of consuming mortar.

Since COVID, the Five Guys near me has been closed for deliveries so it's all been pick-up only (and even then, scattered hours) But I still think people aren't burgin' enough, and they need to do the best thing about online orders - order that extra patty. Three Patties w/ Fresh Jalapeno, Lettuce, Onion, Ketchup and Cheese? That to me, is a winner.

Do they still sell the fuckoff huge paper bag of fries? I haven't been in like 10 years but one largest size fry was enough for a table of 4 and helped offset the overall cost.
