Was I tripping or is this place the most overrated landfill of a restaurant? The burgers were about an inch in diameter and pretty average, I would've enjoyed them if they didn't cost $5. The fries...:lol...were the biggest fucking joke I've ever tasted. They give you a big mound of salty mess that tastes like plain potato sprinkled with salt. I'd take reheated microwaved fries from anywhere else over those cause they'd be half the price and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. I was super bummed out cause all I've heard is that this place along side In-N-Out are supposed to be another tier of burger places, fucking bullshit

I was about to rip on you for not using the search before opening this thread until I just did it and realized there were 2 Five Guys threads before mine. whoops

Unofficial Spokesman For Heart Attack Grill Dies Of A Heart Attack (http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/02/13/1587531/heart-attack-grill/)

told the paper the man was not heavy, weighing about 180 pounds, and may have had a genetic predisposition to cardiac problems because both his parents died from heart attacks in their 50s.

The death comes about a year after a man suffered a heart attack while eating one of the restaurant’s 6,000-calorie “Triple Bypass Burgers.” Last February, patrons thought they were witnessing a publicity stunt for the restaurant that says it has a “Taste Worth Dying For” and took out their cell phone cameras, but were ultimately seeing a patron around his 40s having a cardiac episode being wheeled out by paramedics. [...]

“I’m here to tell you straight up that I’m here to make a buck,” Basso told CBS This Morning last February. “Anything that’s legal that you want to eat or drink that’s fun, that enriches your life at the moment, I will sell it to you. If I could put danger back into hamburgers, all the better.”

The restaurant also offers free meals to patrons who weigh over 350 pounds.

I've eaten there. It's delicious. If I weighed over 350, I could see myself eating to death there.

Why did you post this?

[boutons_deux]

Why did you post this?

why do you ask?

[Creepn]

Free food for people over 350lbs? Basso is legally killing fatties.

[manufan10]

I only ate there one time, and it was in Miami Beach. It was pretty good. They gave a ton of fries too.

Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

[CubanSucks]

why do you ask?

Because this isn't a Heart Attack Grill thread.

Nah, they're killing themselves.

Speaking of heart attacks, lol mookie viewing this thread.

Been about 5, 6 times. Always like that the food is hot! Can't say the same about in and out burger.

[Cry Havoc]

??? I've been to In N Out a lot, never gotten cold food a single time at a single restaurant. It takes ~10 minutes to get the order because they always make it separately, but that's not such a bad thing.

5 Guys is pretty good. It's also insanely overpriced. $~5.50 for a bacon cheeseburger + $3 for fries + $2.50 for a drink = ~$11+ after tax. All for a burger that's, at best, as good or slightly better than In N Out and at worst, not even as good.

Only been to in and out once. Cheeseburger was warm, not hot. Your right about 5 guys being pricey. But I like the consistancy, as far as hot food. Plus I like that you get plenty of extra fries.

[CubanSucks]

who cares about the temp when the burger's only an inch in diameter and the fries are just a big shit pile of mushy potato drenched in salt

[FlaSpursFan]

The peanuts were good but the burgers are bland and the fries just arnt very good.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I had the same reaction as CubanSucks the one and only time I've had Five Guys. It's overpriced as hell, the burger comes out overcooked, it's a fuckin small burger for $5.50 and it simply isn't very good. People love the fries cause they're served in a creative way but their fries make In-n-Out fries good which is saying something.

No, they kill themselves.

Quit enabling fattitude.

I wasn't that impressed with In and Out Burger. Kind of disappointed after all the hype I've seen them get.

[JudynTX]

I've never been to 5 Guys and probably never will.

Yea it's gross.

[lebomb]

I thought 5 guys was pretty decent. I like it better than Ruddfuckers, cheezy janes........*shrugs*

If I want a top notch burger, I hit up Chris Madrids and call it fawfuckin day.

Agree, but 5 guys is pretty good for fast food imo. I consider Chris Madrids, more of a sit down burger joint. Haven't been there in awhile, but I always thought Chris Madrids was the best in S.A..

[Bill_Brasky]

If I'm payin 12 bucks for a burger meal I better get a huge fuckin burger. That wasn't the case at 5 Guys, they just gave me a ton of their shitty fries. Never going back.

Yes, 5 guys is great compared to real fast food restaurants that charge half as much as 5 guys does.

Shiiit. I got a hearty burger, fries combo from Whataburger the other day and it was over $8. Thats right there where a 5 guys burger is priced.

WTF happened to the $2.95 railrider special from Puffin Billy's???

That whataburger combo probably had more food, while a burger, fries & a drink costs over $11 at Five Guys.

The amount of food you get paying $11 at Five Guys, I can go to In-n-Out and get more food for $6.

Point taken..........now where is my monkey niggra???

[Bigzax]

I don't need five guys touching my meat. I'll make my own damn burger.

Or Whataburger, but you gotta get a doublemeat double cheese.

the single patty just doesn't cut it.

I'd take 5 guys over McDonalds, Jack in the box, etc..., but yea, its expensive.
