Sorry for the late reply fellas. I must apologize on several levels. The last thing I ever wanted to do is queer up GD more than it's usual..aparently my thread title up'd the ante significantly. Originally I couldn't tell if people were offended by the homo title, or the lack of homo content, perhaps both??!?!
My meal was $15.45 Cheese burger $7.69 Fries $4.19 Soda $2.50 Tax $1.16 I jokingly (sort of) asked the employee when he handed me the bag (1/2 full of fries), "why not just use bigger cups for the fries?" He looked confused. My part of Northern Ca. has a Squeeze Inn and plenty of In N Outs. I can see why the debate rages. The food was fine--If I was gonna complain about anything it's that it was a bit heavy--but fuck, it's fast food so what can you expect. I can't in good conscience say it was better than In N Out--and In N Out doesn't leave me feeling like I need a nap. Thankfully I didn't suffer any of the rectal burn described in prior posts, so I'll consider my first tryst with 5 Guys a success as it didn't leave my anus swollen. Wait, that sounds sorta gay still... |

Worst hamburger I ever had. View Quote No fucking shit. The store I went to had an award on it's "I love me wall" touting that it was the top store in the area last year. The place was fucking disgusting. First off the floor was fucking filthy. I have been to bars and restaurants that allow you to dump peanut shells on the floor, but this floor was nasty. It was so greasy and sticky that one foot was slipping and the other was sticking. The entire place "felt" like you were in the hood of a deep fryer, one that hadn't been cleaned in a few years. The burger was a greasy dripping mess and the bacon in the burger was cold and dry. I ate half of my burger and the wife took a couple bites of hers. The fries were OK. Nope, never again. In N Out Burger is eleventy billion times better than that shit. |

I have to agree with two of the previous comments and say red robin is better than 5 guys. Our 5 guys was one of the first in California and it's on the outside of the local upscale mall. I ate there about 2 months after they opened and was unimpressed with the quality and speed especially when compared to price. Mine was a bacon cheeseburger with regular fries and a drink and it was in the $14 neighborhood.
Fries were fairly soggy though plentiful, hamburger looked like a train wreck even though all it had was pickles, lettuce, mayo and mustard beyond the meat, cheese, and bread. The bacon was also undercooked. And it took almost twenty minutes for me to get my food when there were only three people in line in front of me when I walked in the door.
About once every two months I'll go to red robin (same mall) and get a better tasting burger with unlimited fries and a drink that gets refilled by an attractive inky bar tender for $15-17 after a $2-4 tip. The booth is more comfortable, there are multiple tv's in view with different content with closed captioning turned on and the volume down, and I've yet to hit the place when the server is less than congenial. If I wanted to I could even get alcohol. And I like their seasoning salt better than 5 guys Cajon seasoning. |

The Five Guys by my house does pretty good. The place is clean and staffed with friendly, eager young people. Load a bacon cheeseburger up with the right toppings and it is tasty.
