I think Five Guys is better than Smashburger.

Yeah, but Five Guys doesn't even come close to In-N-Out Burger.

»www.innoutburger.com/

And while In-N-Out is good, Whataburger is better. We have both around here. »www.whataburger.com

QFT!

A Five Guys and a Wayback Burgers recently opened near me and I tried both. Neither impressed me and both were overpriced. From my recollection Wayback was almost $15 for a burger, fries and milk shake.

Nothing beats my George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Burning Grilling Machine Burgers with George Foreman Lean Mean Spin Frying Machine French Fries. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapenos, ketchup and cheese and I'm good.

Five Guys is OK, but always seems rather slow.

I wish they had SOMETHING else as a side dish other than greasy French Fries.

Yeah, I'll enjoy the baconburger or whatever. But to try to balance it out a little, would it kill them to offer a salad? No, they insist on a big greasy brown bag of fries, so it kills the customer instead....

I enjoy Five Guys, but the price is steep, and it does give me stomach issues (most fast food does though). I have yet to try a place called "Fatburger", but I hear it's decent.

Five guys is decent. can't comment about Smash since there is none but Five Guys opened in Ottawa area recently and I will say, I loved the burger, a lot better then say BK or McD's but between The Works and FG I'd pick FG fries with The Works burgers, but the problem with The Works is they take 30 minutes to cook the burger! Too long when you're hungry.

I will say I enjoyed teh Five Guy burger though.

Smashburger is definitely better hands down. There Smashfries are the best too. Tossed with olive oil and rosemary lightly and hardly salted...perfect. The burgers are delicious. Recommend either getting the Smash Classic or Husker Smash and follow up with a small Spicy Baja smashburger. mmmmmmm I'm going there now. 5 out of 5 stars.

Five Guys was very bland and I won't be going back. The peanuts seem like an out of place gimmick and their fries come in cup and you add generic seasoned salt? What makes that so special? 0 out of 5 stars.

Five Guys is the best thing ever for constipation. Every single time I eat Five Guys I'm on the pot shitting my guts out within the hour.

But it's a good burger.

White Castle is the best for that problem! They however do not have a good burger.

You need to put a little more mustard on them...

Oh, and cheese. Cheese will keep 'em in the system just a bit longer.

I have yet to have any restaurant food do that - well - other than the one time I had food poisoning. Taco Bell does nto even do that - there are times I wish it would but it never does....

Haven't been to Smash burger. With five guys, it depends on which of their locations you go to..

Angus beef burgers taste different (to me anyway). There's a local restaurant (downtown, lunch & after-work bar/eatery type place) that only uses Angus beef for it's burgers--tastes great; they have great fries, too. But they ain't cheap--about $7 or $8 for a burger, fries, and a cola.

$7-$8 is the norm for McDonalds double Quarter Pound meal around here. Five guys is about $11-$12 for same. That said, I like Five Guys, especially the fries and they are not stingy with them.

Never had a Smashburger, sounds like the Incredible Hulks burger place,lol.

Another good place is Bobby's Burger Palace, pretty good food there.

Awww cmon... don't knock the white castle.... They serve their purpose and I didn't think they taste bad. Slyders/bellybombers are the way to go on a drunk night.

My best for burgers that I can get around here.

-Sonic
-Burger king
-Hardees (they have some good ones these days. They also have some damn fine tacos too!)
-Jack in the Box- depending on what you get here, it can be a phenominal burger
