I agree, I really like 5 Guys for what it is.....a better fast food hamburger. Some of these weirdos think they should be getting a burger from Ruth's or something. People need to get over it and just go eat.....jeez.

what is fast about this place??

5gays isnt remotely convienent like real 'fast food'. no drive through and dont go at lunch or you'll be in the 'disney-ride' line for an hour.

funny y'all want to defend 5gays by calling it fast food..then when i say sonic and bk are better, y'all get all bent out of shape and act like they're night and day

you cant have it both ways.

Especially when "value meals" are over $8 at most fast food places. I've found that Five Guys is usually around $11 for a double burger combo.


seriously?? i dont even spend $8 at popeyes and they're the priciest fast food place i know.

i can get 6 mcdoubles and 2 fries for $8. what the hell are y'all ordering?

I could not tell the difference in a Five Brothers burger and a Wendys burger in a taste test.

And for 12 bucks I can go to any bar and grill and get a vastly superior burger.

I've always enjoyed Five Guys. It is over hyped by some, but it's a solid fast food hamburger. Some are complaining about the fries, but I think that's one of the best things about the place. They're good and they give you a lot.

With that being said, I can definitely make better burgers at home. I like the place because it's pretty no frills.

Dude it's a fast food joint. If you don't like their burger then don't eat it. 5Guys makes a good burger.....so do a bunch of other places. Go get your BK rat meat and stuff your mouth with it.

Its a fast food joint that is actually clean. Not sure ehat there is to complain about? If you want a great burger, you have to cook ur own, the way you like it.

My buddy ate 2 of their burgers and a large fry. That's a shitload of food! I think their food is good, but over hyped.

I LOVE the burger food truck. I also like chili's, outback, and J. alexanders. It's hard to order a burger at J's, but I met friends and wasn't hunger and was impressed.

I usually get my food in less than 10 minutes upon parking. Pretty dang fast.

We also don't have the parking problems. Maybe you just have a shitty shopping center.

True, they do taste similar...But most Wendy's are run very shitty, much like most fast food joints except for Cane's, Chick-fil-A & 5 guys.

I actually like Five Guys. If you get only one patty its not enough for me so I get 2 patty's. Some people don't like a big patty so I think it works pretty good to meet everyone's needs. They are the best burgers I've ever had. I miss not having What-A-Burger's up in Tennessee. So Five Guys is the next best thing I have found.

Five Guys is not fast food so quit judging it against those franchises.

Fast Food = Value meals for less than $6, drive thru service and getting your food in less than five minutes and sometimes less than a minute.

Five Guys = Burger, Fries and a Drink for $11, no drive thru and getting your food in over 10 minutes and sometimes longer.

Tried going to five guys early on when the first opened, didn't feel like waiting in a huge line, and have never been back.

This must be why I see folks not ordering a drink, dumping out the cup that holds the fries and using it to get fountain drinks.


now that makes sense. When I was there I saw a group of teens with small cups at the fountain machine. Was wondering if Five Guys sold extra small drinks.
