Five Guys is where degenerates go to eat when they feel like tossing their money into a shill restaurant with average and mediocre burgers that they toss in a bag that drips and is stained with grease, just so you can spend $9 on your "fast" food burger to only eat it and realize that it is nothing special and is the same burger as any other average burger and all you did was pay $3 extra for meme toppings and ended up with $17 dollars less than you had before all because you got fries and a drink as well and wanted to eat a burger on par with Wendy's just for the expensive cool kid chain "but look they cook the burgers in front of you!" meme

The standards for chain restaurants are so low that any time one manages to rise above mediocrity people flip their shit over it. Chick-fil-A makes a slightly above average fast food chicken sandwich. In-N-Out makes a slightly above average fast food burger. But people flip their shit when anyone manages to out do McD's.

Noodles and Co are everywhere here. Overpriced and not that tasty. Anyone can make better pasta at home for half the price.

>>8652579
Best tasting burger/fry combo around. Fries are 10/10 for me. Burger is 8.5/10. A tad expensive but better than similar semi-fast food burgers. Much better than normal chain burger (McD, Wendy's, BK, etc.) Value decreases if you don't take advantage of the free toppings.

Harveys in Canada is the best senpai.

Also, they have "new york fries" chain there, they are amazing.

Why is fast food in canada better? I fly all over north america and find I like there "harveys" the best. Just my opinion.

Jimmy John's is godlike
I don't know how Subway or Quiznos or any of that shit stays in business within a 10 mile radius, their subs are half the price while being twice as tasty PLUS they deliver.
I can pay $8 for a sub that's as thick around as a grapefruit packed with meat at JJ's when the same shit would be like $15 at Subway because their portions are skimpy for the sole purpose of upcharging you

Jimmy Johns is interesting in that it taste different from Subway yet is equally as bad. I used to say that you'll never get a bad sub from Subway but you'll get a better sub anywhere else. Then Jimmy John's expanded on to campus

Former CFA employee here.

They hammered the importance of good customer service into us more than anything else. Regardless of what your position was or what you were doing that shift, you were supposed to drop everything if a customer needed your help and do everything in your power to make sure they were satisfied.

Their chicken is 100x better than anyplace else, and they're faster than pretty much any restaurant I've ever been to, even when they're busy as shit.
Wendy's might as well not have burgers, considering their burgers taste like shit and are always dry. Their fries suck, too.

Harveys is the best. I would love for them to bring a few locations here. I really like there onion rings, and vanilla milkshakes. They know how to do there burgers.
