Impossible to beat a well made charcoal grilled burger at home but I'll say Mooyah is the best around BR from what I've had.

Freddy's is pretty legit too.

The meat has no flavor. Plain, completely boring.

I like their burgers. I like a thin meat patty.

Wing Stop fries are the GOAT.

And 5 guys could lower their prices if they didn't give you 2 lbs of fries that you'll throw away


Why would you throw away the fries? Thats the best part of their menu (only speaking on behalf of the cajun fries).

It's a fast food place still. I don't think it is overrated or over priced. If I went to Wendy's and wanted a double with bacon and mushrooms and whatever, I wouldn't be paying much less at Wendy's. It would be about the same instead the fries would be 10 times shitty and frozen at Wendy's.

Lol at at people talking about burger King is better. Go ahead and go to burger king for shite food and shite service. Can you please pull up sir? Your food ain't ready.

By who? I see this posted a lot. I remember people saying it was good. But anyone saying the best burger ever clearly doesn't cook at home. That's the only way to make the best burger.

The burgers are to greasy for me to eat and the fries are to salty.
They seem to slaughter the French fries in seasoning.

If they cut down on the grease and salt on the fries I would give them a second try.

Thin patties are great if they have a good sear. I've never gotten a good sear on a five guy's burger

that being said, I go to five guys when I want free peanuts with my burger

It's a greasy, diner style burger that is just fine if you have those expectations, I like a good greasy burger every now and then. The fries are good and you get peanuts to add calories while you wait. I think they get undeserved raves from the Golden Corral kind of person who is wowed by their disgusting portion of fries. There are millions of people who overrate restaurants because they find value in ridiculous portion of food and seeing the name of the farm those potatoes came from obviously means its organic...

5 guys and in and out are better than most but it's still fast food burgers. I rather wait for a good home made burger
Do people not know how to make homemade burgers? This guy I work with is 60+ yrs old and was asking how to make homemade burgers? Plus the guy is 300+ pounds.

WAY overpriced. Good food. Not even remotely close to being a good value though.
