Beerball Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 5 guys is a decent fast food place. Their burgers are okay, their fries are terrible. There's 30+ places in San Antonio I'd rather go for a burger than 5 guys. But we're not in SA so we can't talk about them. 5 Guys is the best chain burger I've had.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 5 Guys almost got me in trouble at work once. I heard they used peanut oil but I wanted to make sure so I decided to check out their website. So I went to 5guys.com... And it's apparently a gay porn site
Chilly Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 But we're not in SA so we can't talk about them. 5 Guys is the best chain burger I've had. True, but other cities have to have lots of mom & pop burger places that are much better too, right?
KD in CA Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Nothing to say? Hmmm....I posted an uncharacteristically snarky reply but it's gone. This has happened before; I think the use of a smiley will truncate your post, deleting everything after the smiley. Either that or ball-o-beer deleted my post with his super mod powers.

He would never ever do such a thing and you should be banned for even suggesting it!

Buftex Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Gotta say, I have been to 5 Guys Burger & Fries about a half dozen times in the two years, or so, that they have had a location here in Austin. I won't say it is awful, or even bad, but hardly the best burger I have ever had...I don't understand the fuss over this place.

Chef Jim Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Maybe we're just spoiled burger people in Texas. I can't remember the last restaurant burer I had that I thought was really good.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I can't remember the last restaurant burer I had that I thought was really good. Can't wait till the weather's nice enough to fire up the lump charcoal in the weber and make REAL burgers.
Booster4324 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Thanks Booster! You're welcome, no problem for a swell guy like...

Wacka Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I'll be able to compare them to In-N-Out Burger soon. The Taxi's in a plaza near my house is closed and the signs say a Five Guys is coming soon.

It's alright, way better then say McD's, but I sure wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.
Buftex Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 This. It's alright, way better then say McD's, but I sure wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. Maybe people love it, cuz they give you shelled peanuts, and encourage you to throw the shells on the floor...when I was a kid, I loved the Ground Round, for that very reason!
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Maybe we're just spoiled burger people in Texas. No. You are geographically blessed! Closer to the cattle/beef! :nana: Anybody mention Culver's (midwest) as chains and fast food comes?... Not bad.
Chilly Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I'm going here for lunch (mmmm): http://www.biffbuzbys.com/
