In my opinion, the classic American burger is one of the greatest foods ever. Sometimes there is nothing that can beat a burger and fries. A few posts ago I mentioned that one of my life goals is to eat one of In-N-Out’s much talked about burgers. Hairyshoefairy left a comment, saying that she thought 5 Guys Burgers were better than In-N-Out’s. I was intrigued. And since 5 Guys has a location semi-close, I decided that I needed to make a trip there.
This weekend, while visiting my friend Ashley, we took a trip to 5 guys. Upon walking in the doors you are assailed by signs hung all over the walls, each with quotes from magazine and newspaper articles, raving about the awesomeness of 5 Guys burgers. The huge crowd of people seemed to be a good sign as well. As we waited in line my expectations grew. Could this place truly have the perfect burger?
Ordering is simple, there are few choices. You can choose from 4 types of burgers or a hot dog. They also make fresh French fries. For someone as indecisive as me it was a dream come true. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything on it (minus the mushrooms) and the smallest thing of fries. I anxiously awaited my “perfect” burger.
I was not disappointed. The burger was seriously close to perfecion. My favorite part was the grilled onions. And they didn't skimp on the tomato, which made me a happy girl. YUM! If the cheese had been slightly more melted, it probably WOULD have been the perfect burger. It was that amazing. The fries were fantastic as well. My only complaint about them is their size. The smallest size could easily feed 2 or 3 people. Just something to keep in mind for next time (because there definitely WILL be a next time!)
So while I have never eaten at In-N-Out, I can personally vouch for the awesomeness of 5 Guys burgers. If you enjoy a good burger done right, you can’t go wrong! Thanks for the suggestion HSF!

Yay! I'm so glad you went! Sorry, I should have warned you about the fries. They're really good, they're just gigantic portions. I was surprised by that, too. So glad you liked it!
Dang, that sounds YUMMY! I'm thinking a burger sounds delicious right now. I'm definitely going to have to hit up 5 Guys for dinner sometime soon!
You can never go wrong with a burger and fries. That sounds so good. I might have to try that place because I really love In and Out but there isn't one close!
Mmmmmmm... I'm totally drooling on the keyboard. That's one place I'll for sure be checking out in the future! :)
What a fun weekend you had. I love the picture of you girls with your burgers. So cute!
here is a little advice from the girl who has eaten far too much in-n-out for just one human to eat. they are delicious. they are fast food quality and some people are disappointed because they get a lot of hype. i love in-n-out, but there are a lot of good and even better burgers out there. alex sas 5 guys is better...but not as cheap. anywho, don't be disappointed when you have in-n-out. it really is delicious.
Living in CA, we are very lucky to have In-and-Out close by--10 minutes away in fact. They are my burger of choice.
