Their burgers are ok (I prefer In n Out). Personally, I think their dogs are better. Bacon Cheese Dog FTW
Finally went, their burgers suck! Don't know if they do this at all of them, but at the one near me they wrap up every burger in tin foil, even the ones for eat-in.
This is a HUGE NO-NO, as it steams the bun into a mushy consistency, NOT that their buns aren't McDonald's grade to begin with! To recap, they use shitty buns to begin with, then needlessly and stupidly destroy them!
It's the same as with hoagies or cheese steaks, you MUST start with a good roll or you've already failed.
Their fries are decent, quite good actually, but no milk shakes? No self-respecting old time burger place didn't have real milk shakes as a side.
But the main thing is, and it's laughable, is that this is a place that serves nothing but burgers and their burgers are freaking MEDIOCRE at best.
Any independent burger place worth its salt kicks 10 Balls' ass.

Most fast-food restaurants serve dehydrated frozen fries -- that's because if there's water in the potato, it splashes when it hits the oil. We actually soak our fries in water. When we prefry them, the water boils, forcing steam out of the fry, and a seal is formed so that when they get fried a second time, they don't absorb any oil -- and they're not greasy.
I like Five Guy's burgers.... If I get one, it's usually a little cheeseburger (the normal one has around 60g of fat... almost an entire day's worth)
Absolutely great. The best burger joint around, period.
Saw one is opening around here soon, was wondering if they're any good? Anything special about them I should know (ala in-n-out secret menu)?

I was with him till I read this:
Dude, I can see through the bag there is so much grease!
Five Guys is the taste equivalent of buying low-grade, high fat beef from Wal-Mart and cooking it on a George Foreman grill, and then putting all the grease drippings back on it.
The buns are made fresh everyday and delivered overnight to the restaurants. I made lots of bread at home and I wish I could reproduce those hamburger buns. Their bread is delicious.
Second, are you so old or slow that you take more than 1-2 minutes to open up your burger after you get it?
Overnighted from somewhere else? Lolololol @ your idea of fresh!
You make "lots of bread" and yet can't even match their McDonald's grade bun? How much fail is that? What IS your idea of a good roll, anyway?
Ahhhhh, South Carolina, NOW I understand! I've been down your way. You can't find a decent roll in the supermarket! Except for the transplants who know better, you folks still thinks hoagie rolls should be the pale, featureless, fall apart consistency of a 99cent bag of generic hot dog buns from the FailMart!
I live in an area where we KNOW about rolls. The cheese steak and the Italian hoagie originated in our area, and we know a good premium sammy requires a chewy, high-gluten roll that won't fall apart if you just look at it and adds, not detracts from the sammy!
No wonder you think Five Guys bread is delicious. You just don't know any better! And, again, massive, massive fail at your idea of "fresh"!
If you're supposed to start eating them in under 1 minute, WHY do they take the then unnecessary and consistency destroying step of wrapping them in tin foil in the first place?
C'mon, genius, riddle me that!
You needlessly personally insult me -- over a burger chain thread, no less! -- you get it right back, asshole.
This is one of the more ridiculous arguments I've ever seen in my entire life.
Seriously, arguing about hamburger buns? Seriously? Is that what the internet has come to?
