They're springing up all over the place around me in NJ. The burgers are very good, and much better than Mickey D's. I'm so-so about the fries. But I am concerned about the fat content - that juiciness has to come from somewhere

We have a local ice cream parlor that has a small restaurant in the back, and everything is cooked to order AND the oil is at the proper temp to keep the fries from absorbing too much of it. The burger is not juicy (fatty) but it's still very good and freshly prepared.

If you can believe it, I tried In and Out in Vegas and walked away totally unimpressed. Five Guys is far better.

Still I enjoyed it so much that I'm now going to ration it because of it's juiciness
