Do I Have Five Guys In My Teeth?

i know i haven't blogged in months, but after zagat rated 5guys over in-n-out for best burger i had to check it out myself.

i'll start off with just the burger...
i can see how this place could be good if you can't get an in-n-out burger from where you live. it wasn't thaaat bad, but it's NOT as good as in-n-out. the bun wasn't as good and the cheese on my burger wasn't fully meleted. they don't have a spread but you have an option to choose mayo/ketchup/mustard. i got all in hopes to simulate some sort of spread. also got grilled onions, which weren't up to par as in-n-out. they have a bacon burger but i opted out to try a burger that resembles something in-n-out would serve (to make a somewhat fair comparison). the meat was pretty good, but i'll have to disagree with zagat. in-n-out!!

now, overall i think the place has a striking resemblance with in-n-out. i didn't like the way the burgers were just wrapped in foil and contrary to what the menu says, a burger/cheseburger/etc. is really a double double style burger with two patties. a "little burger" isn't something for a kids meal, but *i think* a single patty normal burger. also, their fries are ok. i LOVE in-n-out fries all the way down to the way it's served in a nice tray. at 5guys, you get your fries in a cup and they have normal 5guys fries and cajun fries.

pretty good burgers. not better than in-n-out.
