Da tenders are too small.

No. It's one of the most bland burgers I've ever tasted. I've given them four chances at two different locations.

Would rather starve to death than eat at 5. Guys again, absolute garbage

Are you serious? Five Guys is fricking good considering the price and speed of it.



Price and speed? I gave them another shot last week because it was 9:45 PM, had been in a pre-comp training class with the dogs, and I was starving. Me and 7 others in the place waited around for 20 minutes to get our orders. Same old burnt up burger and somewhat soggy fries, + tea for $11.25. Very unremarkable and grossly overpriced. The dogs enjoyed their half of the burger, but who's counting... That's 4 unsatisfactory visits in 3-years and it doesn't exist for me anymore.

5-guys is ok, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there...Plenty of places make good burgers.

Hopefully In-N-Out will keep expanding east. They are 1/2 the price of 5 guys.

animal style ftw

I've been twice to the one on Carrollton (that's the only one I've ever been to)

PROS:

HUGE double burger, decent taste, a crapload of fries (and that was a small fries)


CONS:

Mega-greasy burger and fries, almost felt a little queasy and shameful for eating it all, took about 6-8 minutes to be served, price of $12 and change for burger/fries/coke is a bit too high


VERDICT:

Would go back VERY sparingly, maybe once or twice a year when I was in the mood for maximum greasiness

I can get a bacon cheese burger, fries, and a drink for under $6 after tax from In-N-Out?

Glad I'm not the only one. And the fries are even worse, soggy and swimming in a puddle of grease

Yeah, I can't stand the place either. If someone loves it then good for you. It's weird though when people get so offended that you don't like five guys. In my opinion, a burger that is saturated in a pool of grease (fries too like you said) is not appetizing in the least TO ME.

I have a feeling that I won't be wowed if I ever eat an In-N-Out burger....Place gets way too much hype over cooked ground meat.

Did you read the OP? It went a little past "don't like."

OP either has the most sensitive stomach in history, or he's embellishing just to get a several page thread. I'm going with the latter.

Just looked up the prices. Not too shabby.

I was legit asking, not being a smartass.

And that's why I don't know their prices. The few times I've been out west I've never gotten the chance to try In-N-Out.

Yeah, he was telling how it made him feel sick and I would want that in a review if I've never been there.

I don't know. I don't have a sensitive stomach in the least but five guys along with a few other places can automatically give me that queasy feeling as well. I agree with him in that regard...all of that grease makes me feel sick to my stomach as well.

I might feel different if I was hungover to the nth degree and craving something seriously bad and greasy, but I've never had it in that state.

I have to agree with this. I am not a big fan of Five Guys; I think it's Wendy's food for a lot more money (not that Wendy's is cheap fast food either). But inducing vomit? That's a bit dramatic.

It's funny you say Wendy's because I find their burgers to actually be too greasy. They don't make me vomit though
