so I had 5 guys for the first time today because not only you fags, but many of my irl friends have told me its the best thing in the world. I got a double bacon cheeseburger with all the black toppings and jalapenos, and fries.

It was a good burger but you guys hyped it up way too fuckin much. Maybe that's why it wasn't good enough for me, I mean it's top 5 burgers but a lot of people made it out to be all time greatest ever best.

To me the fries are better than the burgers. Dem Cajun fries... Flavor of the meat is meh. I think the toppings make up the majority of the flavor. I would still throw down for some fries.

I have had their burgers three times, the first time being this past March. The first one I had was alright. The second and third were incredible. That being said, there are at least three mom and pop places with far superior burgers.

this is true. as a vegetarian, they'll toast the bun, melt some cheese on it and add all the toppings. has the same texture as a burger, and the umami palate goes well with the spicy fries. it's like $4, iirc, and would be cheap as dick to make at home, but it's an existent option for lacto-ovo vegs at a place a lot of omni friends like to dine at

Any even remotely skilled cook can make a vastly superior burger in their own kitchen, even in the 5 guys pressed style if they want. You're not missing much. Except the fries. They have good fries, and those aren't so easy to beat.

If I said to enjoy your fries cooked in 8 day old smoky peanut oil, what do you think?

75% of the time that you walk into a Five Guys you might get fries that aren't being cooked and served properly and this is considered a total rip off to the customer.

It's even worse when the GM doesn't know how to make the perfect Five Guys fries.

I'd only eat fries on the day that the peanut oil is new. Next time, you guys wasting your money should think about asking the employees how old the peanut oil, or simply go look at the fryers and observe how black the peanut oil is.

>> No.5478977

By the way, stop ordering "well done" fries. There is no such thing. You either get the perfect five guys fries or you get shit tier fries because of the employees in charge of the fry station. Don't bother eating Five Guys at all if it's really busy. Your food will be 50/50. The staff, especially the GM in charge, is worried about secret shopper scores and that includes ticket times. They will try to get your food out asap meaning you are getting a 50% chance of getting perfect food or 50% chance of getting the worst fucking food ever.

But not good enough for animal style fries. Do you people realize that "Animal Style" is only good BECAUSE of the fucking spread? That spread sends orgasms into your taste buds. It's like MSG squared. I have seen people eat it with a spoon by itself.

>it's really nothing that special for what you pay for

Whenever someone summates their opinion about food frequently without mentioning the food it's hard to take their word on how the food tastes because they're likely exagerrating all of the other points due to other things that inconvenienced them.

Basically any yelper.

It tasted fine but it cost too much.

There just say that instead instead of a bunch of hyperbolic ingsignificant nonsense.

... that's exactly what they want you to think. Christ I didn't think I needed to go into that much detail.

a burger that's been run over by a truck.

Jesus it's a lot of effort helping you stay up to speed on such a simple conversation. I bet your parents are sick of you.

What the fuck are you people talking about $13?
I can get a burger from my local Five Guys for like $5. The little burger is big enough.
Its more expensive with fries, sure but only if you choose to get the damn fries.
Sure they have better fries, but a $5 burger from Five Guys is far better than a $5~$6 burger from BK, Carl Junior or McDonald.

You don't HAVE to get the damn fries.

no, that's exactly what happens

source- you watch them make the fucking burger. they literally just lay a piece of tin foil out and stack the ingredients as they come up, then just wrap it.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Yes, the modest look of the burger looks is exactly what's on the mind of the people visiting Five Guys.

Go kill yourself.
Nobody ever thinks that much about presentation. Like why the fuck do you even think this would be a thing? Why are we discussing this? I have never once heard someone complaining about Burger King dolling its burgers up for the masses like its fucking CoD.
Not once outside of /ck/ does this discussion take place.

People care as much about how their burger looks as they do about the look of shampoo dispensers : If it looks like its not diseased, great.
Maybe in some cases it'll be decorated a bit. Maybe someone fucking drew a flower around it. Made it look fancy. Maybe made it more inviting.
But in the end, a burger is a fucking burger and nobody cares if its presented well or not.
I've never once been to a burger joint and been like "Man, these burgers just look so pretentious".
