5 guys just moved into town which is better In-N-Out Burgers or Five Guys?
From what I hear 5 Guys is better but for fries, shakes, burger taste and prices. What say you all.
Well said!
Where is the Alamo Springs Cafe? I am guessing San Antonio but would like an exact location.

In and Out is great...never heard of 5 gay guys....oops, sorry...just kidding!
Couldn’t they come up with a better name than Five guys though?
Alamo Springs Cafe is in Fredericksburg, about 90 minutes north of SA. IN San Antonio, we now have Five Guys, which is OK. I like the mom and pop places like Bobby J’s and Chris Madrid’s for awesomeness. We also have Babe’s and Smashburger. Was hoping In n’ Out would make it down here, but not yet. Supposed to be up around Big D.
I’ve only had each (5 Guys and In & Out hamburgers) once and I liked them both. They are both great hamburgers.
I had a CFS in Texas, I don’t know if it was as big as a saddle bag but it was sticking about 3-4” off the sides of a large plate.
Can’t remember the name, it was years ago, but some little town not to far from the suburbs of a major city. The CFS house was one of the busiest places in town.
Heard it was the best CFS in the world and wanted to try it out.
Flaky as hell, melt in you month, perfect color and texture. The gravy had me begging for more. It was just a unbelievable taste, not like any CFS that I have had anytime before and anytime since.
It was something that was so good, it made you want to eat it for every meal and move into town just so you could get it.
I think they pay their kids $10/hr and will bend over backwards to help them further their educations.
That is the original In-N-OUT. I used to live a couple of miles from the place back in the early 70’s.
I was thinking of the peanuts I swear on my now deceased folks.
it was late ..I was on my droid in bed and the double entendre totally escaped me till I saw your post..lol
I love their huge portions of French fries. The hamburgers are nothing special. If you want your fries more crispy they will do it unless they are too busy. I also like their free salted peanuts in the shell.
I saw those somewhere recently..maybe Georgia on our way to St Augustine..we cut through on old hwys east of Macon.
reminded me of Rallys or Checkers ...the is another good chain in Boone and Hickory NC
called Cook Out...nice hand patted burgers..in VA, NC and SC and Johnson City now I hear
like Rotiers or Browns in Nashville or Pucketts or Mickey Roo's in Franklin
in Jackson as a kid...the Redwood Inn on south Terry Road by Battlefield Park and a grocery ...
... the king of Jackson Miss burgers and believe it or not a James Beard acclaimed burger is this one...been there since the 20s
I know Fredricksburg well, I’ll look for this burger joint next time I am there, thanks!
That’s next Lent. :)
Ordering tips online? I am curious.
