Five Guys Burgers And Fries
 
Hands down, hands down, the best burger and fries I have ever had.

Anyone out there that has this place within a half hour or so make it a point to stop in for grub.

They've got a bunch of them, all over the city, but I honestly don't care for the place, the store is just too greasy for me (the floor is slippery). Try a burger at a Times Grill.

5 Guys is much better than In & Out Burger IMO. Best burger in Cali is Hodad's in Ocean Beach, CA just outside of San Diego.

I confess that I haven't been to 5 guys here in Atlanta...but people I talk to say it's way over-priced.

Not for the quality I am sold on this place big time. That was my initial thought looks expensive but what you are getting in return is worth it.

I know, it's across the street from 5 Guys. I also have one across the street from me.

Back in the day, there was a burger place in LA named something like Cassellis, or Cassells, that served up a 1/2 pound burger made from cuts of ground prime rib beef.

Kind of a waste, but man, that was a great burger.

It is.

Rudeboyelvis 01-08-2010 10:38 PM

back in the late 80's I lived about a 1/2 mile from the very first one. It was literally a burger stand, a counter with no tables - you grabbed your sack of grub and off you went... in a crappy run down strip mall on the corner of Glebe rd. and Columbia Pike in South Arlington, Va. I always remembered the chalkboard that informed you of where the potatoes came from that particular day...

I'm not surprised how well it has been received, but never in a million years expected that I'd be living 900 miles away and have one a quarter mile from my house.

They are exceptional, and I've been to just about every single fast food type burger joint in the nation including all that have been mentioned - though Hodad's is mighty close.

miraja2 01-08-2010 10:49 PM

There is one a few blocks from where I live and I guess it is nice to know that if I am ever in the mood for overpriced, over-hyped, fast food that tastes average at best....I have a place to go.

onebadbeast 01-09-2010 02:02 AM

WHAT ABOUT BOLL WEEVIL BURGERS IN SAN DIEGO, AWESOME....:tro:

Love them as well, especially those fries cooked in the peanut oil, they are the best!

Five Guys burgers are much better than In-Out Burgers. Though In-Out does have the second best drive through burgers (first is Backyard Burgers).

Overpriced, I dont think so.

Best fries out there and there burgers are really good, not the best, but for the money a great eat.

dellinger63 01-11-2010 10:49 AM

Strange but my top 5 burger places are all privately owned sans the winner. Obviously biased towards the Chicago area.

5) Grandpa's Glenview, IL (the old home field)

4) Meyers Pub, Wilmette, IL (must get the tator tots and Dab beer w/burger)

3) Hackney's, Glenview, IL (go to the original on Harms and order the Hackneyburger on dark rye and onion rings)

2) Moody's Pub, Chicago, IL (a hidden gem in an old Moody Bible Church with a huge fire place in the winter and one of Chi-town's best beer gardens in the summer)

1) Treasure Island, Las Vegas (get the one named after the LA Laker guard. LOL)

Best burger I have ever had was at burger joint in Kauai, Hawaii, named Bubbas Burgers. Its a very well known place on a few of the different islands and was where Colbie Callait filmed one of her music videos not too long ago.
Awesome food, I think they even have chicken sandwiches too, but best known for their burgers.

Antitrust32 01-11-2010 12:19 PM

Emeril's Burger is pretty good. Outback has a great burger also.

Best burger I've ever had was from Le Tub in Hollywood Beach, FL

(also some great rum rummers)

Everything tastes better in Kauai.

miraja2 01-11-2010 01:37 PM

I hear Big Kahuna Burger has some tasty burgers.

Indian Charlie 01-11-2010 01:48 PM

Ok, how about this one?

http://www.highstakesliving.com/the-5000-burger.html

Only costs $5k.

MaTH716 01-11-2010 06:21 PM

I noticed the sign on Route 9 south tonight.
5 Guys Burgers are coming to Sayerville NJ. After reading this thread, I'm kinda looking foward towards it.

bigdog_14086 01-11-2010 06:41 PM

When in the Saratoga/Albany area you need to try Juicy Burger

Arletta 01-11-2010 06:41 PM

Never herd of it?

SOREHOOF 01-11-2010 10:46 PM

Excellent burger, never had the best. See link. If you are heading south from Saratoga on I88. The wings are the BEST. Order Garbage. See menu. This is an old Train Station. Cool atmosphere. Wimpy Burger if you must.

5 guys is overrated. Haven't tried Hodad's, but will keep that in mind. Best burger I've had is the double at Habit in downtown Santa Barbara. Walk-up joint. Chargrilled. Fantastic.

Theres one in Milton, which is a couple miles north of downtown Ballston Spa. Its located in the strip mall which has Hannaford. I think the name of the road is Rowlands Street. I heard its a lot like 5 Guys, some people think its better, some the same.

the habit is a in n out ripoff

brianwspencer 01-13-2010 12:43 PM

I went to the one here by Loyola and thought it looked a bit pricey. At least the *amount* of the food was solid for the price. That said, it wasn't my favorite food ever, but would be willing to give it another try.

Good burgers, but also a top hotspot for those who want the feeling of enjoying their meal in a retirement home too.
