I tried the original out in Arlington, VA and have determined this to be one of the best, if not the best, burger joints I've eaten at.

It is a chain, so my question is, why in the hell doesn't Baton Rouge have one of these?

I would trade CheeBurgerCheeBurger for it straight up.

Five Guys

I went to the one in Carson California and thought it was pretty good

As far as chains go it's really good but I've been to plenty of hole in the wall joints around here with better burgers.

I'll have to try In N Out to compare the 2

I've had In and Out and I didn't think In and Out was that good. Haven't had five brothers though.

Yeah Scooter, having them fry a dry NON-spiced chunk of hambuger makes for a great burger.

NOBDOY from north VA knows what a great anything is when is comes to FOOD! I lived in Richmond for 2 years and their food sucks!

My wife's cousin lives in Alexandria, VA and she sent one of those red and white Cheeburger/whatever to my wife. It sucks just like the food.

You're right, nobody outside of Luna, LA can cook a decent burger.

We just got Five guys in Kansas City. It is incredible! It's as big an addiction as drugs, if you really enjoy a good burger.

I think its good if you get it loaded down with all the fixins'. The meat patties are petty small IMO but all the grilled onions, peppers, lettuce, tomtatoes, mushrooms, jalapenos, tobasco, etc. make it pretty good.

IMO their fries sucks. Alot of hype for some very average/below average fries.

When I lived in DC, I ate at the original often...great food!

I wish they would expand down here. Birmingham has one now.

I love this place! First had it in Athens and then had it in Birmingham when I evacuated for Gustav! (I made a point to go there when I was in town)

One just opened here, I'll have to give it a try. Right now I get my burgers at a little greasy spoon that makes fantastic burgers - hard to go somewhere else.

I just tried sending them a message via their "contact us" link and it doesn't look like it seems to have gotten through? I never get anything like "message sent" or directed to a different page after I click submit. Anyone else tried or have this problem?
