/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Mediocre burgers but p-good fries. You gotta like the taste of potato though.

I have a similar place nearby that is 10x better.
The quality of Five Guys is shit.

we just got them here in Oklahoma finally

it is a welcome addition to the same ol' burger joints. good burgers, nothing spectacular, but quality for fast food. also eating peanuts while in line is the best way to stand in line.

Decent burgers, elite fries

Cajun > regular though

>>5905740
Literally the opposite, the fries taste like dirty garbage.

Five Guys is fat people elite. It's a ton of meh quality food. I'd rather have half the patty with twice the flavor like pic related.

>>5905739
I don't see the appeal of paying twice as much for the same quality burger at some other fast food place.

>>5905764
Try not going at noon when every office worker within a 2 mile radius is there

>>5905764
Sounds like someone
doesn't like
the taste of


potatoes

>>5905739

That isn't Culver's, lying bastard.

>mfw not even /ck/ is safe from /pol/ shit.

God damn it I just want one thread!

>>5905809
>those horrific fries you find in seafood joints
whyyyy

>>5905809
Culver's is awesome. Five Guys gets their food from Culver's dumpster.

>>5905809
That shit looks pretty good.

>>5905739
because 5 guys in OPs ass feel better than 1. kill yourself pleb faggot.

>>5905809
>has to get two orders of fries
>that tiny burger

Culver's is good but it's overrated.

>>5905815

You talking shit about crinkle cut?

As someone who worked at Five Guys and now currently works at a local burger joint, I kinda think most of the people I see on /ck/ are trying to be edgy or cool when they act like it is complete shit. It really isn't any different from how non-chain burger places cook their burgers. In fact, I'd say I prefer Five Guys to 4 out of the 5 local places that serve similar food. Only valid complaint I can see is the price.

But I dunno, if you go around trying to eat burgers and somehow you think Five Guys is drastically worse than places around you... either your Five Guys has some real shit employees or maybe you guys don't like burgers as much as you think you do.

>>5905857
yes.
they taste like frozen ass of yeti.

>>5905861
You would know.

>>5905858
This. Most of the hate on /ck/ comes from mocking anything cool and suspicions of marketing.

>>5905858

Agreed. If I'm in the mood for a fucking burger and some fries, Five Guys is my choice. Yeah it's pricey compared to fast food, but the prices really aren't out of line.

>>5905878
Except Five Guys really isn't that great. They're just ok. If I was hungry and somebody was treating, I'd eat at Five Guys. If I was footing the bill, I'd pick a better place for the same price.

I was in Detroit with a friend. We were hunting for a place to eat. We saw a Mexican joint, Pizza Papalis and Five Guys. We ended up at the Casino and for the same price, we ate like kings.

I learned about Five Guys from /ck/, funny enough. Turns out there's one not too far from my town, so I went there a few weeks ago.

Most American fast food place ever. The burger patties are fucking monstrous, and the oil-soaked bag was almost overflowing with fries. That explains the price, at least: I expected McDonald's-sized burgers, not the behemoth I got.

Pretty tasty, all things considered, but it's too expensive to be that fast food place you go to all the time. Then again, my arteries are probably grateful for that.

>>5905856
>not ordering an extra side of the GoAT fries from Culver's
>triple Culver's Deluxe
>small

Granted, I do admit the patties they use on Culver's burgers are small. Like, a Culver's Double is only about the size of a regular QPer from McDick's.

Still, a Culver's Double Deluxe, wth fries, and a drink is a damn tasty lunch, fills you up, and only costs about six bucks since they send you umpteen coupons.

So maybe Five Guys has bigger patties, but bigger isn't always better, per se.

>>5905861
>talking shit about deep fried crinkles

End your existence today, friend.

>>5905897
>Five Guys is my choice.
>it's pricey compared to fast food

>>5905901
Right, but it has better burgers and fries than McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. plus a lot of bars. Anybody expecting something life changing from a national burger chain deserves to be let down.

>mfw Shake Shack is bringing back crinkle cut fries

>>5905856

Actually that isn't a double order of fries. They must have run out of plastic baskets or were washing them or something.

Usually they put two small or kid order or fries into a red basket with some wrap. That'd be a medium and what seems to be a triple burger, given the three slices of cheese.

>>5905739
>ITT: We discuss how OP is so poor he eats Five Guys to "treat himself" and then posts about it on the internet

>>5905739
they have delicious burgers that dont come with their boring flavorless fries.

There are two kinds of people:

>Five guys fries are god-tier and "zomg you get some many in the bag" "muh Cajun"
>Five guys fries are ALWAYS limp, bland and very unimpressive

I am of the latter.

Their burgers are good, but nothing special... not for the pricepoint at least

>>5905936
There's no face, newfag.

>>5905938
no they don't.

Ask a Five Guys employee anything

>>5906165
Why don't you shave that trashy goatee, you ugly cunt?

>>5906165
Why am I not surprised by your facial aesthetics?

Ha, no, but seriously, if I come in 15 minutes before closing is that bad?

>>5906178
'cause otherwise how else would I tickle redneck balls?

>>5906179
Not really. If you're out at 10:00 and don't make a mess/bring children that make a mess, you're fine.
If you're out at 10:45 and trail peanut shells and mustard everywhere, you can make sweet, sweet love to a cactus.

>>5905739
>mfw in my country small corner burguer joints still spur every now and then and i have been nothing but escalating my burguer powers since i was born
fuck your chains.

>>5906165
If I slip the cashier a five can I get well done fries

>>5906206
Drop it in the tip jar and you'll probably get better everything.

The fries are actually best earlier in the day. We cook them a little too hot, and the oil is still warming up a bit at 11:00. You'll get crispy, creamy fries if the crew person isn't a total moron.

>>5906206
Wow paying over 5 dollars for fries?

They're not that great.

>>5906224
They could be that great, I'd also probably get a large and eat nothing else that day

Also, I don't have any hobbies
>>5906220
Nice

>Giving tip for a fast food restaurant

Seriously? Does Five Guys not pay their employees minimum wage?

>>5906316
If you don't tip 15% they spit in your food

>>5906024
>look at me, I'm disagreeing

They certainly do, you lying sack of shit.

>>5906319
It's a good thing I could see them cooking everything in front of me.

>>5906349
they spit on their gloves in the back

>>5906362
That's not so bad.

Though I do feel bad for whoever else they're going to serve.

>>5906375
usually other people don't tip anyways so it works out

>>5905739
mediocre food for mediocre suburbanites.

the fries.

/thread

>>5906439
the fries are my least favorite part

>>5906476
Same here, yeah there is a lot of them but they are always soggy and limp.

>>5905809
That cheese isnt even melted, why are they serving cold burgers?
Those shit tier crinkle fries are probably frozen too.
Wedge master race, waffle fries close 2nd

>>5906316
It's just a jar. Pay is up to the franchise (but fuck mine, holy shit.)
>>5906319
You're useless.

I went to this five guys place about two weeks ago for the first time. I was thinking normal fast food and got the two beef patty bacon and cheese burger thing. I also ordered fries and a drink. My total was $13.88 with tax. I was like holy cow man that is a lot. But the burger was a lot more than expected and took a lot of effort to finish. The fries filled almost half of the paper bag which was grease soaked. I will say that the burger was better than I expected, just huge. Next time I will get the single patty one for less money because I really just cannot eat that much in one go at it. But the fries I really didn't like. They seemed a little undercooked. Also, I didn't know about the whole cajun thing or whatever. I will try those next time and see if it helps. I'm not much of a fry guy to begin with, though. So that could be some of the problem. I do like to have them though to break up bites of the burger.

Also, I have a Culvers near me and have never been. I saw an ad on their billboard talking about butter burgers and have wondered since then what they are. Can anyone explain? Is it worth trying? Thank you.

They're made to order, so the cheese melts as it sits on the burger longer, fucktard.
