    Yes... yes it is. I prefer "Mighty Fine" but they give them a run for their money.

    Not bad. It's better than McDonalds, BK, Wendys, and Whataburger (yes - they're better than Whataburger).

    A bit overpriced for what you get.

    Horrible place. I don't see what's the big deal about this place. the burgers are mediocre, actually the Angus burger at McDonalds is better than this place. if you want good burgers, go to Becks Prime. Five guys sucks, trust me.

    Their burgers are nothing special, and I don't really like their fries, which are some of the most unhealthy in the business.

    Five Guys was way too overhyped on this board so the first time I went I wasn't exactly blown away... but their burgers are pretty legit.

    That's a little over exaggerated but Five Guys is good but not as good as some people make it out to be.

    Agreed. But, I'm hoping my review of their food as "not bad" doesn't over-hype them.

    Really, they're just "not bad".

    Not In-N-Out worth of praising. Nothing can beat In-N-Out. I wish they would open some in Texas. :mad:

    It was fine. I don't get the hype. It wasn't good enough that I'd ever go out of my way to eat there, but good enough that I'd never object to it as a lunch venue if I'm around.

    Way over rated. At least the one I went to here in Maryland. I'd rather go to Wendy's.

    On the plus side we're moving to California this summer and I'm looking forward to having full time access to In-N-Out Burger.

    Maybe it depends on which one you go to.

    The burgers are great, and the 'small' fries is enough to feed an army.

    You get to customize it exactly the way you want it, they come out hot and fresh. It's not a place for ambiance, but if I had to pick a burger to eat on any random day, I would probably choose Five Guys over anywhere else right now, especially if you are out in Cypress.
