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.

I had In/Out while I was in San Fran and I can think of about 5 places with better burgers

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.

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.

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.
