Five Guys Burger Appreciation[views:24864][posts:119]___________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:06pm - arilliusbm ""] They're everywhere now. Greasy, but phenominal burgers and fries. Cheeseburger with jalepenos and hot sauce and a side of cajun fries or gtfo. Best way to describe the burgers are like Wendys burgers but much better quality |

| ________________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:10pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] Grilled cheese from here is good |
| _____________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:10pm - Yeti ""] i've heard a surprising amount of complaints about this place, but i have no issues with it. i thought it was awesome. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:11pm - hauptpflucker ""] meh, chain burger is chain burger |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:13pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] needz moar in and out burger |

| _____________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:16pm - Yeti ""] yeah that's usually what i hear. but it's a damn good chain burger. better than any other chain. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:16pm - arktouros ""] it is quality for a chain. the ingredients are key. apprechh'd |
| _________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:22pm - brian_dc ""] backed. The fries still taste like potatoes and the burgers leave no doubt that you're actually eating beef. I prefer their burgers over a lot of non-fast food restaurants. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:25pm - hauptpflucker ""] I just find yuppie chains annoying. It's like Target, just as evil as Wal Mart, but protected from criticism because the same shit costs more and middle class white people shop there. On principle I don't care for it. However, I've tried a burger and fries from 5 guys, it's true they are better than any other chain I've been to. That said they weren't spectacular, and I'll stick to the local places. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:27pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] you're over thinking it. its a burger joint. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:28pm - arilliusbm ""] If it makes you feel better, I went to the one in Randolph and was the only white person in there. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:31pm - anon and on ""] I heard Remy from Seeker meedlies at the grill there |
| _______________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:31pm - Kevord ""] Just don't get the seasoned fries. Everything else is awesome. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:32pm - posbleak ""] Allergic to everything on the menu. Going to commit suicide over it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:32pm - Sacreligion ""] If I wanted to spend that much on Wendy's I'd leave a $10 tip at the drive-thru. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:33pm - Pires ""] 5 guys is great. Bag of fries ftw. The bacon cheeseburger with jalapeņos is so good. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:34pm - arilliusbm ""] Average amount of money spent here is around 8-9 bucks. It's worth it if you're spending 7 bucks at Wendy's. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:36pm - Sacreligion ""] The only redeeming quality is fountain Mr. Pibb. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:37pm - SLAAAAG ""] If I wanted to waste more than half of my daily caloric intake, id do it here. Disgustingly unhealthy. Im pretty certain, I could make a better burger, but Five Guys is the best chain burger you'll fine. Plus, points for having vinegar for the fries. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:40pm - Pires ""] SLAAAAG said:If I wanted to waste more than half of my daily caloric intake, id do it here. Disgustingly unhealthy. I read in a magazine that eating one burger(no fries) will take running 6 miles to burn off. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:42pm - arilliusbm ""] Anyone that goes to burger joints looking to eat healthy is fail. Just sayin'. It's okay to pig out every now and then. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:44pm - dreadkill ""] they put one in up the street from me. the burgers are good and the fries are incredible. the grilled cheese is great, the hot dogs are decent. i prefer the johnny rockets smokehouse burger if i'm eating a chain burger. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:45pm - arktouros ""] pssssshhhh. five guys stands up well to homemade burgers but...pretty sure any determined idiot could make a better burger at home. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:49pm - arktouros ""] i wasn't calling you out! |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:51pm - arilliusbm ""] lol I know, its all in good fun. I am no Trekkie after TNG and never got into DS9 |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:55pm - SLAAAAG NLI ""] I'm not determined but I sure am an idiot |
| _____________________________ [Jul 1,2011 1:55pm - Lamp ""] I went to Five Guys a couple times down in Durham when I lived down that way and was thoroughly unimpressed. Perhaps it was because it was the one in the mall, perhaps it was because NC has better food overall than up here in that department, I dunno. But I've been to the ones up here in both Mystic and Warwick and thought they were great. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:01pm - josh_hates_you ""] never had it. i assume it's just another burger joint. i personally try not to eat at chain resturaunts ever. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:08pm - SLAAAAG NLI ""] josh_hates_you said:i personally try not to eat at chain resturaunts ever. I second this. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:11pm - Sacreligion ""] We need to get one of these up here: http://www.andysburgers.net/ |
| _____________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:28pm - Lamp ""] Andy's is awesome, I would support there being one of those up here 100%. I would just make sure to take it to go... a lot of people don't realize that if you sit down and eat there, it's a tipping joint. My ex used to work as a server at one of those and supposedly it's the closest thing to legal slave labor there is at a place of employment. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:34pm - Sacreligion ""] I tipped a dude that worked there $5 for making me the most amazing frozen custard on the planet. That place is out of fucking bounds, regardless of employee relations. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:45pm - Lamp ""] Yeah exactly... it has nothing to do with how management treats their employees, it just has to do with the fact that most customers who go in there are morons who don't understand the servers are getting paid the wages of a regular sit down restaurant person in their paychecks just because the place has a diner look to it. I could go for a shrimp burger now... DAMN YOU |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:47pm - Sacreligion ""] Sorry. Everyone in this thread should make a roadtrip there. No, really. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 2:51pm - josh_hates_you ""] im 128 miles from the closest andy's burger right now. but considering the amazing burger i had last night at the victory brew house, andy can get fucked. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 3:07pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Their toppings are a lot fresher than most of the fast food places out there and those fries are absolutely amazing. |

| ________________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 6:30pm - Lester__Burnham ""] jakes wayback burgers and teds steamchesseburgers are both way better than 5guys. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 7:37pm - RustyPS ""] one opened up in Saugus a couple of monthsago, but I have yet to try it |
