I'm in the states and my friends tell me five guys is the greates of all time fast food.

Is it really all that great? I never eat fast food but I'm tempted...What should I order if I go?

>> No.7806051 [DELETED] 

it's not fast food because you have to wait 20 minutes for them to make it

>> No.7806056

yeah, it's alright, but you might as well go to a real restaurant and count service as part of the expense and you'll probably get your food quicker
I'd grab a hamburger, but that's just me

If you want thin patties stacked on a soggy bun with the literal saltiest fries ever concocted (99% salt 1% fry) go for it.

They're not that bad actually but severely overrated.

>> No.7806073

I really like it, but that's because I'm fat. Do you like really greasy fattening food? Do you want to go to a hamburger place? Then this is in the top 5 chains to visit.

I always get a regular cheeseburger (comes with two patties by default), with everything except for mayo, then I get grilled jalapenos and fries. If I didnt want to make it past 45, I would eat there at least every week.

However, if you don't like burger joints, or greasy food, don't come back on here in a week and tell us it's horrible, if it doesn't seem like your thing, then skip it.

It's somewhere between fast food and a really crappy sit-down restaurant.

It's your average burger, on the same level as Steak 'n' Shake or Freddy's. Not quite as good as In-N-Out, way better than McDonalds.

But like others have already said, it's pretty expensive and you're in for a good 10-15 minute wait for a single burger so it's honestly not worth it unless you're really keen to sit down and eat free peanuts for a while -in which case you could just go to a nice sit-down eatery and get real food for about the same money and time. So... yeah. Kinda pointless.

>>7806092

I actually really like their milkshakes, but holy shit you're going to pay out the ass for a tiny motherfucking shake. Not worth it at all.

Are you going anywhere after the Seattle area? Head down to Commiefornia and try In-N-Out, it's good shit. Just in case you haven't seen the memes; get a #1 animal style on the burger.

I don't have many top tier fastfood burger joints to compare it to. I think Smashburger is better for burgers.

If you go just get a double cheeseburger "all the way" and the smallest size of cajun fries. The fries are worth it. They're pretty damn good.

Their lettuce sucks and they cook patties only well done which I wish they would cook medium

The free peanuts to snack on while you wait is a nice touch
