THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE FUCKING MILKSHAKES!

I was going to correct you, but it looks like it's not everywhere.
http://www.fiveguys.com/menu/milkshakes
But they do look like they're the type of joint that has milkshakes as default no? I'd be dissapointed too if I walked in there and they didn't have them.

I have the opposite opinion. Great burgers but fries are too greasy and not that tasty :shrug:

Still dosent beat In n Out
gross. gross. GROSS. 
As someone who quit eating all types of fast food for 3 years now, just the smell of it makes me want to throw up. I know I probably don't belong in this thread, but I hope you know how bad this shit is for you. I mean... eating nothing but MacDonalds... you do realise you're taking YEARS out of your life, right? And who knows how much money to fix all the problems you'll get later on...

Thanks mom, but I'd rather just eat what I like instead of more years not doing what I like.

Smash burger is better. Dem egg buns.

I love Five Guys, but the price is a bit too high for me to go very often.
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
last two years five guys have been on the decline.
can we please get some In-N-Out on the east coast ?

They're really against franchising apparently. They won't be out here for a while.

For fast food they're great, probably the nicest fast food burger chain here in the UK but their prices are more like restaurant level and we have a tonne of great burger restaurants

Tried it for my first time just now because of that free promo. Their burgers are legit.

Uhh i think its perfectly fine to eat it a few times a month, just not every day. Which i don't believe anyone here was claiming to do.
Very good point. I have to do something about that. I also cut all fizzy drinks. Haven't had coke in 4 years. Not missing it at all.
Honestly, at first I just wanted to cut it down, but when I cut it down, every time I went to junk food I felt grossed out. It tasted like shit compared to the cooked food I ate and it left me feeling empty and hungry with bad aftertaste, so eventually I just stopped eating it completely. I didn't go like 'oh i'll stop all the junk food I eat completely', the idea was to eat healthier and just do it less than I used to, but the moment I cut it down, I just no longer had the need or will to eat it. Ever again. I pretty much find it repulsive now, even just the smell.

Anyone been to the UK branches of Five Guys? One opened near my work recently but it's so expensive.

I wish I could have your strength. I really enjoy carbonated drinks, and it's hard to go throughout the day without wanting one. My biggest weakness for bad food habits is bad carbonated drinks. ;=;
Edit: ♥ to those who have mentioned steak n' shake. wisconsin butter burger is delicioso

This thread. I got braces in December and haven't had a burger since. I can't wait for November to get these things off.

A good Whataburger patty melt is still the king.
Good Selection of toppings, decent but not great meat, mountain of fresh made fries. Better than McD, BK, or Wendy's, middling compared to places like Elevation Burger and other mid-level fast food places.

Five Guys is too expensive and far too greasy. Their fries are absolute bottom tier - worst of any place I've gotten fries. When you get fries the bag is dripping with grease while the fries are really dry and bland.
i agree with all of this, especially the bold. although soaking the fries in some malt vinegar helps some. as a socal resident for basically all my life, im going with shake shack > in n out > five guys, and ive only had shake shack once.

Smashburger is what hits the spot for me Vs five guys. Even though five guys burgers are pretty big in size, the variety i have at Smashburger seems to win. and it's so damn delicious. mmmmmm im hungry now, thanks!

I'd take Burger's Priest over Five Guys.
And it's unfortunate that it's Canada only (Mostly ontario). People are missing out.

Five Guys here in UK is absolutely appalling.
There is one in Bullring, Birmingham and its sort of popular, but thats because its one of those places you go for ''different'' experiences.
Its rubbish.

Ya'll are trippin. Anyone from Wisconsin (and some surrounding states) should know that Culver's trumps all:
now don't get me wrong, Culvers is amazing, but it's nowhere close to 5 Guys good.
those fried cheese curds are to die for tho
BurgerFi was king, but after trying the new Walhburgers that just opened here in Orlando, I think it's my new favorite.
Sweet Potato tots and boozie milkshakes are both excellent as well.
Buddy took a group of us out to Five Guys a few weeks back for helping with a move. Just as bland and okay as I remembered it.

Good for you. I have my Cherry 7up weakness and have a couple of glasses of it during the holidays, but the rest of the year, it's tea, milk, and water for my beverage choices. Lost ~50 lbs. just from cutting out soda from my diet.
Back on topic (this debate is still going?), my tastes have not changed, though now that I got an indoor griddle, I almost like making bacon cheeseburgers at home more than going out.
My list is still:
In 'n' Out > Whataburger > Culver's > Five Guys >>>>>>>>>>>>> every other burger joint.
Macayo's also has a dece burger on their menu, which is a godsend when I'm dragged there since I can't stand most Mexican food.
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
Overpriced and overrated. If we're talking fast food I'll take Whataburger everyday over five guys. Red Robin is a step above fast food but about the same price as 5 guys and way better.

Yeh, Culvers is pretty good quality and price. They have them in Illinois also.
