Ive only eaten the one here in Alex. so I dont have much to compare.

The burger is good, the bun needs some work. I grew up on those type fries and love them.

My complaint is the whole set up. Just seems like a clusterfrick. Yes, I know it is fast food, but it is just too damn stressful.. Ought to get rid of some of those sacks of potatoes so there would be room enough we wouldnt have to sit in each others lap.

Love it. Better than just about anything else around now that Spirits has gone to shite. Have had no bun complaints.

Wasn't impressed. Taste like wendys. Twice the price.


I concur that the burgers are Wendy's-esque

The service is good. But who cares at a cheap burger place.


I care....Seems like Wendy's has gone the way of Burger King & Popeye's when it comes to hiring employees that give a flip...I prefer taking my chances with food handlers that at least seem to enjoy their job.

Just curious, how much is the price difference between Wendy's & 5G's on an equal order?

Not sure, but at 5 Guys, two people only need 1 small fry.

Same thing I said when Alx told me.

To my knowledge they did no advertising. If they would have you wouldnt be able to fit in the door.

Where is it at? I might need to stop by next time I go down to visit the parents.

I need to compare Five Guys to Smashburger.

Same building as Verizon. Across from Books-a-million and between Lowe's and Hobby Lobby.

I went to Matherne's on Highland last week


Very good plate lunches.

Same can be said for Ralph's in Gonzales (smoked chicken / smoked pork chop).

That seems like a bad location, but it is next to the theatre and mall.

I would have thought they would have put where Checkers used to be next to the new Chic-fil-A

That would kill and mean I would be less than 1 mile whether home or work. 15 lbs easy.

I have scanned the entire thread and I am left to wonder one thing. Why does no one give Brewbachers even the slightest bit of love? It is on par with most of the local dives that serve dead cow.

I had a burger from Waffle House the other day that I thought was delicious. Sonic burgers if fresh (big IF) are very tasty too.

The crappy grill in the basement of the state capitol actually has an awesome burger. And it's made by Dixon Correctional Inamtes

I had that or the Picadilly on Third St as a choice for lunch many years ago working for a long dead Senator.
