Can we agree that Five Guys is so overrated and overpriced?

The burgers are OKAY, they are not amazing by any means, I like a rare burger, they are all well done, no exceptions, but considering that, they are still alright, definitely not 7$ good though.

I hate how they just haphazardly dump the over salted, bland, flaccid fries into the paper bag, making it look greasy ad disgusting. I realize that fries are greasy and disgusting, but do you have to make them look like shit too?

And peanut shells, fucking peanut shells, everywhere. All over the floor and tables, looks like a fucking zoo.

I've never gone here electively. Only time I've ever gone here is because I was either meeting friends who were deadset on eating there and I'm too nice to tell them I fucking hate it or I was already out with friends and they outvoted me to go there.

Only redeeming quality is the one near me has Mr. Pibb. But that hardly makes up for how terrible everything else is.

Anyone else have similar opinions/experiences with Five Guys?

THANK YOU! Five guys is expensive. I got a drink and a burger and it was something around 10 bucks. I didn't get fries cause who gives a shit about the fries? I don't think I even got a large drink. To be fair I did get a double burger. I think I might have gotten bacon on it too cause I'm not eating a puny single burger. I'm going all out with this bitch. Burger was pretty good but all I could think about was being FUCKING 10 BUCKS POORER!

Ya dude, I got everything on that fucker. I don't eat burgers very often so when I do, I want to go all out, even still, I'm a huge faggot (or just not a slob) so I had to eat all the shit that fell out of this poorly assembled meat vesicle with a knife and fork.

Surprised by the costs as well since I thought it would be like in and out burger. One burger was the same price of a combo meal at in and out. I was so shocked i paid for two meals for just one combo

It's not BAD, but it's not GREAT.

The burger is juicy and pretty filling though.
I enjoy their fries a lot too.

It's overrated though.

Okay, so...you admit that you know they provide a product that you do not like and yet you buy it anyways and then complain?

Just what kind of retarded is that?

>> No.5036117

They're all right if you just get the burger. Neither the fries nor the soda are worth it IMHO. The burger itself isn't a bad deal compared to, for example, the double burger at Wendy's, but they nick you hard on the soda and fries.

Also, it's best if you eat in. If you eat it right away, it's still got some crust from the grill and the veggies are still crisp; because they wrap it in foil like that, by the time you drive home, it's just a big melted grease ball.

>> No.5036122

>>5036109
Yeah I'll admit it's kind of dumb of me to expect to fall in love with the burger with it being well done.

But, my dad's from an old Irish family, and they love everything fucking cremated, but he still makes a great burger, so with that in mind, I thought that there might have been hope, especially since the patties are so thin.

Never had Five Guys and probably never will. Seems like over-priced trendy hipster garbage. If I ever do go in there it will definitely be while wearing a bright read Sriracha "cock sauce" t-shirt just to get hot chicks or weed hookups.

Fuck their bland ass, greasy bag fries.
Burger was decent for being a fast(ish) food joint.
Soda was expensive, but ehh, whatever, they had the fancy coke machine with lime coke, so I had to get a drink.
Peanut shells were pretty clean though, not all over the place like you said.

>> No.5037078

Five Gays is a better option than pretty much any other fast food burgers (with the exception of the Habit), but it's certainly not the best burger out there. I'd rather go to one of the various local places here that make a great burger, and there's quite a few of those around here. As far as chain places, I used to love the Counter, but the one close to me closed. But they had great burgers. Also, on a odd note, I had to go eat at Sizzler a few weeks ago (it was a business lunch), and I ordered their burger, which was actually very good. I had a medium-rare burger, with their salad bar, for like, $10. I was really surprised at how nicely it was done. Delicious, would order again (if I happen to be there, lol.)

The five guys where we live is pretty clean. People seem to keep their peanut shells in a little paper tray and then throw them out when they are done in the garbage. The burgers are good, not dried out or anything,but I prefer a medium rare burger too. I haven't ever paid more than about five bucks on their burgers, so I don't have a problem with that. they have cherry coke, which is a positive too. I like their fries.

I like in-n-out better, but settle for five guys.

It's kinda funny, I pretty much agree with OP about Five Guys, but it's way better than any local specialty burger places. They all seem to think that superdry pucks are the way to go.

Walk into any bar that serves food, now there's a tasty burger.

Would rather go to Red Robin and get a better meal for about half the price.

Well a NORMAL burger from them is 4.99 with unlimited toppings. The double is extra for obvious reasons. Fast food-wise, I'll gladly hit up Five Guys over most places. Culvers is one of the few exceptions, but Five Guys also has malt vinegar on the ready for their fries which is a win in my book.

I've tasted better burgers than five guys when I lived in the country, and a fucking hell of a lot cheaper, too. $2 for a better burger. I miss living in the country side, $4 breakfast every morning of eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, toast, potatoes, and a coffee. Perfect fucking food, so much better than it is in this city. $15 for a fucking omelet some potatoes and toast. Fucking pathetic. And the game meat, oh my fucking god asidfhasdf

As someone from Europe, they're pretty fucking godly compared to any fast food we have here.

In-n-Out are much better than Five Guys though, but they're only West Coast.
