I am a lifelong fan of In n Out being from California and growing up in LA...but they opened 5G's near the PHX and EV areas near my parents home and whenever I come to visit my younger teenage sister asks to go there...to me its just ok...but they seem to love it.
I dislike their cajun fries...but the regular fries with malt vinegar are good. First time I actually had the burgers...I asked for jalapenos thinking it would be pickled...holy crap was I surprised when it was fresh cut jalapenos...hahaha Also their hot dog isn't half bad. |
The Five Guys at the expanded RDU Terminal 2 is now open! ^

I can't eat more than 5-6 fries....and that is dipping them in malt vinegar.
now they are better than the fries at McD, BK, Whataburger, etc, but I just can't do fries much these days. there is a local joint that does sweet potato fries that I can handle a lot better, but even they get old after a couple. |

I used to love 5 Guys when I initially moved down to the Mid-Atlantic, but it seems like now I get nauseos every other time I eat there. I'm a huge meat-eater, but maybe 5 Guys is just too greasy for me.

I can eat a regular fry and a double burger if I'm hungry. I only ordered the large fries once, and won't do it again. Usually a normal size they overfill the container so much, you get about 3/4 the fries as you get in the big size.

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.

They recently opened several locations in Scottsdale (and possibly other areas). My impressions are:
1. Significantly more expensive than In-N-Out. 2. I prefer Five Guys fries 3. In-N-Out does an exceptional job in keeping their restaurants clean and their employees are very polite. So far I don't see the same with In-N-Out. 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. |
I had a Five Guys today and it was GREAT...
|
Whoa this thread is a blast from the past.
A couple of years ago I was flying back from New York and fighting a killer hangover. I ended up in Concourse A at IAD by the Five Guys and I can tell you that a chili burger and some fries really helped take the edge off my hangover ^ |
It is funny, though...when I lived in Alaska and Five Guys was a "foreign" thing, it was delicious and I ate it every chance I could. When I first moved to the east coast and had one within 10 minutes of my house, I ate there maybe a half dozen times and then haven't been in probably at least a year.
The burgers are good and the fries are great, but every time I go, I can't help but feel like a bucket of [cajun-seasoned] grease was poured over me on my way out of the door... |
Exactly. These have to be the fattiest burgers out there.
|
I've been to a couple of Five Guys and I don't reckon it's all that great - I don't like the fries much and the burgers are nice but not brilliant - and overpriced for what they are. I do like the complete choice over what toppings you have though.
|
Their seasoned fries aren't bad - and I like the peanuts too - but for fast food burgers in the states, I really liked Culver's.

While eating at In N Out with my son this weekend, the topic of Five Guys came up. Neither of us have ever tried it. We vowed to do so. I just looked at their menu, though: $6.79 for a cheeseburger and $3.79 for a regular fries. Yikes! That's 2x the price of In N Out. I guess we'll try it anyway, but it's going to have to be a heck of a fast food burger to be worth that.
I'm honestly surprised people will pay this much. In California, you can go to Carrows and get 2 for $20 complete prime rib meals (soup or salad, prime rib with potato & veggies, chocolate cake). Seems like a better deal, no? |
