I thought the food was extremely greasy, but super tasty. They offer lots of topping options and I went with Relish, Ketchup, Mayo, and Lettuce. I noticed it comes with two patties and your choice of cheeses.

Fries were kinda meh.

I Also really enjoyed the tubs of peanuts around the five guys restaurant. I think Red Robin or Sonic is better. What do you guys think?

extremely overrated. Ate there once and I truly thought a whopper was much much better than their burger.

Not as overrated as In-N-Out.

5 Guys has a tasty burger IMO.

Five Guys has basically the same burger as Wendy's if the Wendy's burger was made perfectly every time ( Nice tomatoes, lettuce, etc )

The thing is....Five Guys is like $3 more expensive than Wendy's for a combo.

I gave them two tries and wrote them off. I thought they sucked at too high a price

I don't even think it tastes good. They don't flavor the meat or something. Even when you pack the burger in toppings, it's tasteless. Fries are good some days, but the grease is super disgusting. Try taking a bag home. The thing will leak through.

I know Fuddrucker's is mostly dying out there, but they were always a lot better. I think Smashburger, which is up and coming, is much better. I'd rather eat a Wendy's burger, to be honest.

Overpriced and no better taste than others.

Burger King delivers a better burger, even Hardee's does.

I know people that swear by them and have yet to try Company Burger, Hi Hat or Cowbell.

Company burger is worth the extra few bucks just for those pickles.

They know me there, I ask for extra pickles last time and they put like a quarter pound of pickles on my burger.
