Ok, you guys have convinced me to go to 5 Guys for one thing:
French Fries

I have been to the IN/OUT Burgers in LA years ago and thought the DOuble Bubble was overpriced and ffries mediocre. Our local burger chain in Seattle "Dick's" makes the best fresh cut french fries around.....only if served hot.

A few who like 5 Guys raved about the helpings of condiments on the burger not the quality of burger meat. But I'll test out the fries since it seems the quantity is getting good reviews here.

Even getting the "little" burger at Five Guys I end up spending around $8. Getting the double burger at In-N-Out runs around $6. This includes drink and fries. Obviously you get more fries at Five guys but it is more of an order for two people to share.

Personally I don't think In-N-Out has anything to worry about.
