If you get the little fries, it's only enough for two people, not four.;)

Went to "Five Guys" for the first time earlier this week... then again
yesterday.

I like being able to pick my toppings.

The meat in the hamburger looks real and less processed than that
of the McDonald's variety.

The bun does get a little squished and seems to become nothing
more than something to hold together the contents, but that is
ok by me since I prefer less bread in my burger.

I asked for a regular fry yesterday and get what some places
would consider a jumbo. Over delivery on the fries seems to be
one of their signatures. There is enough food that 2 people
could share the double patty hamburger / fries and be satisfied.

The furniture in the place seems designed for kids... either that
or I am excessively large. :D Does not matter much since I take-out.

I enjoyed the meal. Going back today to try the Grilled Cheese and
more fries. ^

Three times in a week? Yes, I'd say you probably enjoyed it.

Favorite burger place hands down. Their fries aren't the best but the burgers.......mmmm...I might just go get one now.

I remember when Five Guys opened their first NYC location around the corner from me.

It was an every day thing for about a week. x_x

I loved when they called my name when I would phone in my order and go pick it up.

I had the grilled cheese and a regular fry yesterday.

Nothing special about the grilled cheese... I make just
as good if not better at home. Burgers is where it is at
in this place.

Doused the fries with malt vinegar this time... oh those
fumes!

Discovered today the "Little Hamburger" is as big as the regular.

Ok, that is it for Five Guys for a while... need to find a new food
obsession for next week. :D

As you've discovered "little" = one patty, "regular" = two, aka "double" at most places.

Wish they would give you a slice of onion, instead of choped up.,

Best Damn Berger I ever Had....

And Super Help, none of that political Carp talk, like at Starbucks.,,

Been to Five Guys a few more times since my last post and have to say that I don't like Five Guys still. I'm not a fan of In-N-Out either... Smashburger > In-N-Out and Five Guys.

I don't get the Smashburger love from folks. Granted, I've only ever been to the EWR Terminal C one (3x) and one somewhere else in North Jersey, but the burger was nothing special and indeed rather dry and flavorless, as I recall. What's the draw there?

I don't mind it. They have some fun combos (I like the one with blue cheese myself) and their fries and shakes are pretty good. I will say though that the burger is pretty small for the price you pay.

I absolutely HATED the veggie sandwich. It was like a hamburger on a bun minus the burger. Nothing but a very few veggies. When placing the order, I requested the usual, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, pickle, etc. She said it already came with that. Fine.

I get the burger (minus the burger) and only get a few stray veggies. It was all bun. I would have liked a couple of slices of tomato, lots lettuce, lots pickles, lots mushrooms, to at least have a REAL sandwich.

Never again.

Had them last night
 

Love five guys. Luckily in North Jersey there are lots to choose from.

Just heard about a new chain, based in the west coast that just opened in River Edge and Fair Lawn NJ so will have to see how they stack up.

OT but had the best burger in the northeast last week in NYC at Umoni on 10th St. and 6 th ave. they have ketchup with truffle oil in it.

Well, armed with a Five Guys gift card I bought on Raise.com for 20% off, I took my kids to Five Guys for the first time. It's about what I expected: the burgers are large and tasty. Not phenomenal, but much better than a "fast food" burger. Very different style to In N Out, so hard to compare to that. As everyone says, the french fry portions are massive. I liked their fries: natural cut and well seasoned (way better than In N Out's). I thought my burger was slightly overcooked, but I don't know if that was "how they do it," or just a grilling mistake.

The problem with the place is price. Not sure if they've been raising their prices due to the spike in ground beef costs (the gov't just announced a new all-time high, 2x the price of ground beef 2 years ago), but jeez this is expensive "fast food." If you got your own cheeseburger, split a fries and had a soda, you're in for about 12 bucks. Yikes! It's not worth that. Indeed, I saw a report today that says that Five Guys is having problems with millennials due to cost. If cash was tight, no way I'd be getting my burgers there.
