Five Guys Coming to Ames
- Thread starter cycloneG
- Start date
I got a double QP last night and that son of a gun was good! It's improved since they moved away from the frozen meat
Add in best in class fries and the best Coke around. A serious contender
The McDonalds quarter pounder are good and improved since they changed to a cook to order process. However, I am a fan of Wendy's burgers.
Jack in the Box tacos rock! So do their egg rolls
Many many evenings plowing through Jack tacos!
I don't care what they say....you have class and style!
When I was a broke Marine when I was younger, I would go get 2 JITB tacos for $1.29. I seriously ate those things daily just because they were so delicious and cheep. I mean they are not the best taco ever. Just simply good little taco's.
I think that was my exact experience at Five Guys. If you're going to have a totally different ordering structure vs. all other burger restaurants you need to warn people about that. I should give it another try some day with that in mind.
That said, I'm with the Shake Shack people - much better quality (in terms of taste, don't care about fresh/frozen/Idaho sourced, etc) burgers, fries and shakes vs. Five Guys, for a lower price. I had it at the Atlanta Airport last fall, the one good experience I had in that terrible place. We need to get these in Iowa.
If you can read it's clear as day on their menu board.
You are saving $5-8 by going to B-Bops. A 1/2 burger meal with cheese ( what kind of burger place makes you pay extra for cheese?) is $8-9. A burger at 5 guys with fries is $10-11. I'll take the freshly grilled ground beef patty over a frozen meat patty for 2 dollars more any day of the week.
Per person. I have a family of 3. I spent 45 dollars on three cheeseburgers, fries, a milk shake and two sodas. That’s rediculous and b boos are just as good if not better.
You know it's the off season when you pop on here hoping for a cool update but a thread about fast food is at the top of the charts for the 2nd straight day.
Anywho, I'll probably try Five Guys just to say I did. I'll probably be disappointed but who knows. Not holding my expectations that high, and maybe it will be alright. Regardless, I already know I can make a smash-style burger better than they can.
Who the **** eats a plain hamburger? Literally everyone gets cheese on their burgers.
Lots of places charge extra for the cheese on the burger. Mcdonalds, the biggest burger chain around, charges differently for cheese or without. Also has the mcdouble, which is cheaper than a double cheeseburger, but has one less cheese slice.
Yes. Their A-1 burger forever transformed what I put on my burgers
