Never been to five guys. They look good though, I like natural cut fries. Are the comparable to In N Out? Man I love some In N Out fries.

>>4230206
In-N-Out easily have the worst fries, Five Guys are on a whole other level of deliciousness.

>>4230218
I like In N Out fries. Maybe because there aren't any In N Outs where I live and they are different so it seems like a treat. Still I like that style of fry, its like when I slice up a potato at home and fry it.

>>4230195
it depends how busy they are, but in general thicker fries are less crisp.

I went to five guys one time and the fries were so fucking salty I couldn't physically eat them...

You know what?

I was skeptical of Five Guys, so I went there.
And I went back 5 times in 2 fucking weeks.

I swear, they have to put cocaine in those fries, or something.

>>4230304
But you could mentally eat them. Is that what you're saying?

Overrated. Food wasn't bad but no other options on the menu. Would rather go to Checkers.

>>4230317
I agree that they are overrated, but for the past week I've been craving mofucking peanut oil fried fries.

Five Guys is one of the worst fast food chains in the world.

They are completely opaque about everything they do. They use the cheapest ingredients possible and load everything with tons of additives like MSG to enhance flavor and appeal...

I really don't understand why people talk so much good about this place all the time... don't you know how MSG and other flavor enchantments additives work?

>>4230333
You're just a pretentious asshole. MSG is mofucking scientifically proven to make things super delicious. Also, citation needed for Five Guys using MSG.

>>4230359
if you put msg on garbage, it's still garbage

>>4230365
>if you put msg on garbage, it's still garbage
you just proved your own point.
MSG just primes the tastebuds. If shit with MSG tasted bad MSG wouldn't help. It just helps items that taste good, but may be a bit blander or less consistent than people expect. If it was actual garbage, MSG would do nothing to help.

protip: eat them there, don't wait until you're home.

Also, this is nauseating:

Soggy fries are the best fries.

>>4230642
This. I don't know why all the soggy fries hate

health department nightmare restaurant

Five Guys and In N Out both fail the 'homemade fry' test.

They only fry once.

Everyfag knows you fry twice. Once in 325 degree oil to actually cook the fries to doneness (technically this is called blanching, not frying, but whatever man). Then you fry at 365-375 to crisp. This results in the penultimate fry.

Both these chains, or at least the outlets I have been to, fail to do this, resulting in fries that look like they were cut from a thick wet brown paper bag.

>>4230707
I don't get it.

>>4230710
>crisp fries

Disgusting

In N Out fries suck...unless you can into animal style.

Then they're godtier.

I like FG a bunch too, but I have to rep LA, so I stick to INO

>>4230309
The fries are the best part of Five Guys. They give you so damn many, making it the only product they have that isn't totally overpriced. I love their Cajun fries.

>>4230716
Someone posted that image with a full description of the disgusting behavior of this guy. Notice the "five guys" uniform t-shirt.

Also, five guys threads are viral marketing.

>>4230725
I agree, animal fries make them not suck. You would thin after so long they would improve them to be up to par with their hamburgers

>>4230710
>penultimate

You know, just because a word is longer that doesn't mean that it means a better thing than the shorter word.

>>4230782
You wouldn't say that if you'd tasted my pencilultimate chicken.

I think hes saying he couldnt eat them even if he wanted to because his body/gag reflex would reject the levels of sodium..

seems legit

>>4230710
That's not what penultimate means.

penultimate [pJˈnʌltJmJt]
adj
next to the last
n
anything that is next to the last, esp a penult

5guys fries make excellent meatballs

dayum dayum DAYUM

5 GUYS FRIES ARE BETTER BECAUSE OBAMA ATE THERE LOLOLOL.

A little but I still love their cajun fries, so tasty and you get so many of them. A large order can fill up 2 people alone and they stay steaming hot the entire time. 5 Guys is awesome but I haven't went in a long time.

Can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

>>4231757

No bacon? No cheese?
Not having extra pickles / onions / and adding onions rings and their delicious ketchup on the burger. Are you even from Texas?

>>4231757
Oh lawd, I'm only 4 days away from being able to eat my first Whataburger in over 2 years. I think I just came, just thinking about it. Getting a jalapeno and cheese Whataburger FTW.

I hate how Five Guys doesn't have sauerkraut or chili for their hot dogs.

soggy fries means you get more for your money, you should be thankful about it.

>>4231245
maybe he's just sayin all fries are bad, but his way of fryin fries is the least bad, so they end up being the next to the last.

>>4230195
how much for a cup of fries? i lived a mile away from one for 2 years but never went cuase it was next to an el pollo loco where id get 1lb burritos for 99c

>>4230195
Yeah, I do not care for their fries. Poor texture.

>>4230195
if the fries are fresh made: never close the paper bag. shit will get soggy from the condensation. leave the bag open so the steam can escape.

>>4231245
>>4233272

I'm using it to refer to twice-cooked fries as the closest to the 'be all, end all' of fries, hence 'next to last', or nearest to Omega, the Final Fry.

>>4233325
i think you just meant ultimate and now you're frantically trying to salvage your original post in retrospect instead of deleting it

>>4233325
but what is the ultimate fry then?

...thrice cooked?

>>4230195
the cajun spice version is worth the subsequent fire-hole

>>4233384
>cajun spice
burnt flavorless powder of some sort
>subsequent fire-hole
has no spiciness what so ever

Absolute worst "cajun" fries I've ever had. Tried them 3 times over several months.
Fries are good, but the "cajun" seasoning must be the black stuff scraped off a grill.
Burgers are just okay, and very very wet.
Eat it IMMEDIATELY before everything in the bag steams into soft goeoyness.
A meal there is worth about $5... you'll pay $9.
