Is Five Guys the most overrated burger joint in America?

typical burger thread playing out to form as lusual

 

Wow. I question the sanity of anyone that even wants to put Fuddruckers in the same convo as the other burger joints. :grin:

Oh and anyone mentioning In-N-Out fries in the same sentence as good must be having a laugh. Their fries are the worst. The burgers are good and so are Five Guys imho.

 

i think beck's fries are good (if you eat them in restaurant). guess i'm in the minority.

5 guys burgers are disgusting. to anybody who thinks otherwise, next time you're there, take a patty out of your burger and take a bite. flavorless, dry, and gross.

 

Those sliced and diced things? Those ain't no dogs! They're a mess!!

(they are cheaper than the burgers, though, which are excellent and expensive)

 

If I had a choice in the matter, I'd eat Tornado Burger every day and die in a month. Greasy, greasy goodness. It's down here in the Stafford/Sugarland area.

 

Man, my buddy swears by that place.
And he's from Dallas while I'm the one that lived around Stafford/Sugarland! SMHAM! (Shaking my head at myself)!

 

For fast food, Five Guys is probably the best

Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, VA is probably the best I've ever had, though. I lived a 10 minute walk away from there this summer, and I went at least twice a month.

 

for those who dont like innout fries, get them "well done" next time so it wont be soggy. Me personally, I love innout fries especially animal style. Best fast food fries.

 

their burgers are sloppy. i can make better ones. smashburger is pretty good. haven't tried in-and-out yet but hopefully will some time.

 

Honestly In-n-out is superior to five guys just because a meal costs half as much there.

On the other hand, i think the burgers at five guys are better. they have cajun fries which are definitely a plus.

 

In-N-Out has by far the best fries, and I am not just being an ass here, those things are freaking amazing. You must have got a bad batch or had them undercooked...

 

I haven't had 5 guys yet and plan on trying it but In-and-out is just a regular old hamburger to me. I've tried it 3 different ways.

TORNADO beats the snot out of in-and-out in my opinion so I agree with you there!! I do like spicy food though so that may be why.

I like Fudd's though but I only get their steak sandwich and nothing else there so I can't speak for their burgers.

 

speaking of which. Wingstop fries. What is on there? crack? it's like a salty sweet flavor.

 

This makes no sense. You like it more because it is cheaper and tastes WORSE?

 

I love Wingstop fries. I'm so sad that there are no Wingstops anywhere near where I live now.

 

Because...

soggy fries > crisp fries

 

I tend to disagree.

 

If not in America, definitely most overrated on Houston' based forums.

 

Fuddruckers. Fuddruckers. Fuddruckers!

 

gross.......

In-N-Out's fries are like they have been soaking in water for hours, and then smashed into little pieces. I'll pass.
