8 dollars for a decent burger and terrible fries?

So overrated.

Man, if it was "Red Robin" in the topic title instead, I'd totally agree with this.

But Five Guys? No. That deserves all the praise it gets and then some.

The fries are horrible but the burgers are amazing. I've heard the fries vary from store to store though.

The one time I've gone the fries were wholly unimpressive. They were just... soggy, I guess. Maybe they would've been better if I had eaten them when they were hot enough to burn my mouth, who knows. The sandwich I had was also tiny and the taste did not justify the price. I only got one topping, but still, I'd rather the price be lower than feel like it's assumed I'm getting like 6 toppings.

I will, however, forever appreciate the free peanuts.

You literally did not go to Five Guys if you had a tiny burger.

Those things are massive.

Well I didn't have a burger; only a grilled cheese sandwich. My choices are a bit limited as a vegetarian, sadly. Plus, I absolutely love grilled cheese and try and make a note of sampling grilled cheese sandwiches at least once at every place I go to that has one listed on its menu. I did expect more for what I paid though. I've had much better grilled cheeses at select Jack in the Box locations and Red Robin.

The fries definitely depend on the place. Soggy sucks, but when they're perfect, they are soooooo good.

Is there anything wrong with going to a burger place as a vegetarian? If there are vegetarian choices, I take them. Sure, I have less options, but I still enjoy the food I can get.

Me. Also, drunk me. They have it right up there on their menu; I see nothing wrong with ordering it. It's not like I'm going to Wendy's and asking for them to make me a grilled cheese.

I guess it can vary from place to place, but the Five Guys I've been to provide the best fries currently available on American soil. And not even by a small margin either. Compared to Five Guys, all other fries in the country may as well be inedible.

I've personally stopped ordering fries from anywhere else ever since we got Five Guys. Restaurants, fast food, doesn't matter. All **** compared to Five Guys.

I wasn't considering any of those possibilities. I didn't put a lot of thought into the word choice of my post.

Not really, if you get anything like an equivalent offering. Isn't a Baconator like 5-6$ by itself? You can get cheaper meals at other fast food places, but not for instance you'd be hard pressed to get a large fry for less than a regular fry at Five Guys, which gives you way more fries than a large at most places.

I have no idea, never had a baconator. I don't eat too much fast food and just get a small burger when I do. I don't get fries, they are bad and usually gross unless very fresh. So basically any place that doesn't have dirt cheap burgers is too expensive to me!
