Not in Raleigh NC. They are too dry from overcooking that you have to smother them with some type of sauce, ketchup, mustard whatever just to get them down.
Or Fuddruckers. 5 Guys is just down the street in a converted service station. They kept some of the feel of the old station.
Just had one here in San Jose at their new store.
Pretty good.
Unbelievably great burgers.
And since I’ve lost 30 lbs and need to continue, I’ll probably never have one again.
Love the 5 guys!!!!
Tried 5 Guys, it was OK, but the burger I had last week at a Wendy’s was a bit better. Enjoyed Fuddrucker’s in the past because you could add a bunch of fixins’, etc. Most chains
do have the assembly line approach, get it to you fast (OR leave burgers lying around for awhile and then they grab one etc.)
Other places —NON-CHAIN— may charge more for a burger and you get better quality; recently I was up in Concord NH and went to a bar and grille called Cheers Downtown (no relation to the TV series) and had a pretty good burger, but again not as cheaply priced as fast food (salad was good too). Bonus here:
unlike fast food places, you could treat yourself to
an adult alcoholic beverage... But again, not a chain.
I’ve heard Five Guys were great and equivalent to In-N-Out. I’ll have to try one.
That very same Five Guys in your photo is a 3 min walk from my work. I eat luch there a lot. Great burgers, and free peanuts while you wait.
They do need shakes though. Why stop at a 880 calorie lunch when 1500 will do?
Agreed on that. Not cheap though.
I had some burgers at Johnny Rockets and those were good.
Rush's in Columbia, SC. Haven't had one of their burgers in years. It's a 100 mile drive now.
I agree!
I can’t eat the burgers at Five Guys. I end up with a terrible sick stomach when I do. Now I love and do go there for their hot dogs and french fries.
