When I had their fries they were good. Like good combo of crispy and soggy, like bacon can be sometimes. Maybe soggy isn't the right word. What was right was that these were earthy, meaty potatoes fried in some heavy oil and I got a cluster of fries so filling I couldn't finish the order. I don't eat burgers or meat much but I'll kill a good order of fries. Yeah man, probably the airport. I had mine in Washington DC. It was a really trendy part of town, apparently.

this is even worse than the tipping reply because it could actulaly be real and that would be sad

It's my sincere opinion on fries: Soggy beats crispy, every time.

You have to pay a lot for Burger+Fries since Five Guys employees don't receive tips, you the consumer, end up paying more for their princely wages.

if you're just now trying five guys and making judgement on it you have missed its prime by a solid fuckin five+ years. its now riding off the gravy train that was once its glory

im even more snootier and know they were the best in 2005 or so, but they had a very consistent run up around 2010. now its very hit or miss which was highly expected once they franchised out so aggressively

sorry

DC area ones were the first three if i recall and the best for a loooooooooong time. also instead of purposefully cheap looking they actually were, i have fond memories of dinged up styrofoam cups and aluminum foil wading through a mountain of peanut shells mouth watering anticipating biting into one of the best things $5 could buy. also forget sitting, you ate in your car or went home because the 7 square feet of table space had its own line

also for a long time the oneo f the five original guys would come in and work and cook all day. that happened for years

i just stick with good ol fashioned meth. you ever see a fat methhead? nope.
goons: take note. gyms too much work? raiding all day wearing you down? not enough time in the day to make posts? meth is the answer. your fat will literaly melt off and soon you'll be able to make fun of all the fatgoons with smug pride like the rest of us

e: still tho, that's a lot of calories for fries? I've never ate at five guys (this is sexist) so i dunno how big the portions are and stuff. a little caesars clocks in round 2200 so is it basically just a pizza sized plate of fries?

I asked if I could have fry sauce at smash burger recently and the cashier scoffed and said "we don't serve that here" like it was some sick schlock

Last time I ate at an airport I had to get up halfway through my flight to puke up a rancid-tasting mix of cheap beer and something that tasted like I'd mixed graveyard dirt with ground beef. The taste was so loving horrible that I actually delayed a client meeting so that I could stop in at a Duane Reade and buy a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a bottle of mouthwash. Even after that I felt gross for the rest of the day.

Anyway, Five Guys has just OK fries at their usual locations. Just skip them and eat peanuts or something.

protip: get the hotdog instead, except get two because fries are stupid

you don't need bacon or cheese or anything, just the basic hotdog, with mushrooms and onions and jalapenos--with mayo if you're ok with that, or mustard if you're more traditional, or both if you're feeling crazy... add some hot sauce too, not for the heat--you already added jalapenos--but for some good vinegar flavor

thank me later

i got a burrito place in qdoba or something at the airport in new jersey and it tasted like every other fast burrito place burrito ive ever eaten in or out of an airport but this one had a little sign explaining that the high prices were because we were in new jersey

why you pay more for being in new jersey makes no sense though if anything poo poo should be subsidized as an apology

One of these days, I'm going to snap and kill that fucking bear.
Fast food's a low-wage, high-turnover occupation. Doesn't lend itself to consistency, especially with the number of locations of 5guys that exist now. Find yourself a good local chipstand or hole-in-the-wall diner if you want that kind of food. Or better yet, make it at home.

franchise chains that intentionally make their places look cheap and "oh it was just set up like this" like 5 guys, chipotle, and to some extent starbucks (with their fake blackboards and other displays) are so corporate they make my eyes bleed. also whole foods, with their pallets of food that "just haven't been stocked yet". it's all disgusting in its own way. someone else find some better words pls thanks.
