This thread makes me hungry for a burger, fries and a shake, but I'm going to settle for a corn dog, onions rings and a shake.

I met a good friend of Mr. Balls on a deserted parking lot in Rayville one afternoon and have it on his authority that Balls is a swell guy.

Just going to chime in here and say this was the most miserable thread I have read on this board in numerous years.

I ate there once. Once. Their burger and fries both sucked so I’ve never gone back. I have no recollection of the price. Maybe I should’ve gotten a double or triple burger, I’m not sure if that would’ve helped. But the practice of giving you way too many limp, brown fries - not golden brown but just brown - was a turnoff. And even dining in the restaurant my only mustard option was little packets.

Sounds like they are not executing the fries correctly.

I've been to a couple of locations where the fries were not as crispy as they should be but,the fries are always crispy & crunchy when I dine @the 5Gs by me.

Wish they would bring back the free peanuts.

Yep ate at the one in Thibodaux on Sunday. 5 single patty burgers five drinks and a large fry was $53.... we could have had sit down for that kind of pricing. It was good but Burger King would have been just as satisfying and probably $15 cheaper

If you are going to a sit down place for 5 people and getting out for $53, I don’t think I’d be wanting to join you at such a place. Haha!

It seems that 5guys justifies the high prices by giving you a zillion fries? they had potato bins or bags of potato's as deco every where IIRC.

at least that was what i recall the last time I was there, which was years ago. i have not returned ever since i discovered Cook Out.

Also: love the chili @Firehouse the subs are way better than subway and JimmyJohns.

They have definitely reduced the portions on fries as well as upped the price over the years
