If you're a Baltimore/Washington loc, you know this joint. Now they are spreading like a delicious, artery-plugging disease.

One of many professional reviews==>"This is casual dining with a formula that works: delicious burgers served up with your choice of fixings at near-fast food prices. Step up to the counter and pick a hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger or bacon cheeseburger, all of which are prepared with fresh ground beef and come in two sizes -- one patty or two. Select from more than a dozen toppings, including sauteed mushrooms, pickles, jalapenos and hot sauce. Add an order of made-fresh, bordering-on-soggy, boardwalk-style French fries -- either regular or Cajun -- and a soda with free refills. You'll be set for just $6 or $7. You can also order a split-open grilled hot dog, with bacon and cheese variations, or a grilled cheese or veggie sandwich.
Mostly a takeout joint, Five Guys keeps things relaxed with comment cards decking the walls with customer kudos and rock music blaring throughout the place. While you wait for your order, snack on peanuts you don't have to shell out any cash for. Perhaps they're a symbol of the value you find at Five Guys -- yummy food for practically peanuts."

Five Guys is good stuff. The fries are excellent. The guy who owns the franchises here said that they don't even have freezers as everything is fresh. All they need is to sell beer and it would be awesome.
My professional burger review =======>urgh, five guys burgers are disgusting. We have a few in CT.
maybe it's just me but I cannot eat a burger dripping grease and fat.
BLAH
That's not grease and fat. That's liquid awesome goodness.
one of the things i love most about living in the west.
one of the things I will miss most about living out west.
Assemble the mob, pass out the torches, coil that noose and SEIZE THE BLASPHEMER!
I like a fire-grilled burger as much as the next guy, but a 5-Guys bacon/jalapeno/cheeseburger fried up in Old Bay and slapped on a mayo-slathered bun with lettuce and an onion slab is positively the SHIZ-NIT, especially with a side of their fries splashed in red wine vinegar and coated in Old Bay.
Two things make it difficult for you to properly appreciate 5-Guys, MBC-
1) You are a Yankee and sadly, our Northern friends just don't comprehend the virtues of frying pans and deep fryers. Don't feel bad; it's not your fault you were raised outside of Dixie's loving embrace.
2) You are a female and expected by our society to find anything indulgent or unhealthy positively repulsive. For this reason, women are guilt-tripped into paper-toweling-off all that tasty love, ordering a salad or veggie wrap and then leaving the table with half your food still on the plate or in a doggie bag, all the while moaning about how stuffed you are. Fight the power, ladies, and rebel against your killjoy waifish masters!
:biggrin:
I've never tried the ol' IN-N-OUT; are they really on par with their namesake, 'cause I personally find that hard to believe?one of the things i love most about living in the west.
I've been to five guys a few times and was not impressed. By the time I sat down to eat the burger the bun was completely soggy from grease. It isn't hard to make a tasty burger with ground beef that has 40% fat content. The fries I had tasted like the oil needed to be changed a few months ago.
I do enjoy pudsuckers, and used to live right near the one on 236 in Annandale, VA. The best thing about them, even beyond their gnosh, are the giant sides of beef hanging on meathooks visible to all while waiting in line. Suggesting a dinner date there is the best way I've ever found to break up with a PETA-type tofu girl who won't take a less overt hint. :biggrin:
Jeez...it sounds like Franchise Quality Control needs to get a phone call from your area code. I have lived by and patronized happily the franchises in Alexandria, Arlington and Springfield, VA. They have recently opened stores in Westminster and Frederick, MD, but I haven't visited them yet...but it IS lunchtime now. Hmmmmmm...
Anyone one had Culver's Butter Burgers? Mmmmm this is a tasty burger...
Our local Annapolis 5guys rocks. Best burger and fries in town. 4 thumbs up from my prego wife, especially when topped with pickles and cheese. She craves teh beef and I aim teh please.
In & Out is really good. I don't really like fries that much anyway.
Also, Tommies is really good too. They have a magical ability to cure hangovers (http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154433&page=2) .
I went to Fudruckers once and it was good.

re 1) you're right. and I'm DAMN PROUD OF IT!
re 2) that ain't me. I'm a bacon loving, french fry eating, ice cream sundae pounding CHICK. (and a jew so don't tell on the bacon).
You forgot "beer drinkin'."re 2) that ain't me. I'm a bacon loving, french fry eating, ice cream sundae pounding CHICK. (and a jew so don't tell on the bacon).
Hahaha...your secret is safe with me.
To be fair, 5Guys are greasy but I get a sense that this fact is part of the appeal for some. They are the Anti-Jarrod and a backlash against the unfun, cardiac-care world of low-carb beer and no-sugar jello for dessert.
You forgot "beer drinkin'."
how could I forget that - and the darker the better. None of that light garbage.
That beer drinkin smiley should be a RM permanent smiley
IAB or MBC - have you ever gone down to New Haven to have a burger from that place that is supposed to be the originator of the burger? Don't know the name of it, but they just serve it between two slices of toasted bread and I think maybe with a tomato with it?
I don't think you can even get ketchup or mustard to put on it at that place?
What's it called?

I saw that place featured on one of those Rachel Ray shows on the Food Network.
I like the concept of that show, but they need a new host. Rachel Ray is friggin annoying as hell!
In n Out is tough to beat, but in Phoenix there is a crappy little bar called "Harvey's Wineburger" and the burgers are unbelievable. They cook the burgers in cheap red wine.
How about a boiled burger like at that one place near Soapstone. 
dude, i'd pay them like $10,000,000,000 to expand their franchise east but i remember reading somewhere when in lived in socal that they would never leave the southwest.

Yes that is a fact. Its useless to even waste time talking about it.
It's my understanding that there is (or was) a huge disagreement over expanding between the old owner, new or future heir to the franchise, and the Board. Google it for more info, but I know for a fact that I've read it online.dude, i'd pay them like $10,000,000,000 to expand their franchise east but i remember reading somewhere when in lived in socal that they would never leave the southwest.
They just raised their prices. I'l still eat a Double-Double once a week and not grow man boobs though.
they cant because they dont use frozen products so they can only go as far as a truck will godude, i'd pay them like $10,000,000,000 to expand their franchise east but i remember reading somewhere when in lived in socal that they would never leave the southwest.
