    5 Guys

    Ok, so we don't hijack another thread:

    5 Guys, this is my take of why I don't like the hamburgers:
    1) The hamburgers (the actual meat) is tasteless. There is no flavor at all in it.
    2) The burgers are paper thin.
    3) yes you can get as many toppings as you want, but lasst time I went I got a burger, drink, and fries and it cost me over $13. For $10 I can go to Buckley's in Merrimack and get a hand carved/ground 1/2 lb bacon burger and fries. And have a bar that i can pick my whiskey from.

    I don't mind it being greasy, but it needs to have flavor. I'm not paying all the money to put toppings on the burger. Lettuce, pickles, onions, BBQ sauce, etc are all fairly cheap.

    I have asked this question to many people and have never gotten them to answer it. Can you honestly say that the BURGER (the meat) is really good?

    Again, I put a new thread because we are supposed to be not hijacking threads.

    While it's not the thickest burger out there...it does have good flavor. That flavor 100% comes from the peanut oil used to cook it in
    It's really the only burger I get cravings for, mostly becuase of the distinct taste.

    I am not saying it's the best burger, there's plenty of other places you can go for a bigger burger for sure.

    Ian, you seriously need to try the stuffed angus burger I make at home on the grill (not in oil), given what you just posted. Very distinct taste and delicious and very little fat. The "stuffing" inside the burger consists of sautéed onions, horseradish sauce and either sharp cheddar or gorgonzola. Add whatever toppings you like.

    I grind my own ground beef using whole steak/roasts. (No, I'm not you telling the ratio -- but it's 3 different kinds of beef.) And it is delicious. (I've had the great burgers from Buckleys that Todd's talking about and I'll put mine against theirs any day.)

    But I like 5 Guys. It's got good flavor, is loosely-packed and is plump, tender and juicy. I tend to get them with just a few toppings.

    Now I will admit, that the quality varies store to store and day to day -- these ain't factory-built McDonalds burgers -- for instance, usually the Manchester store is better than the Derry store.

    Is Five Guys as good as homemade or gourmet "burgers" done by someone who knows what they're doing? No. It is better than the vast majority of restaurant burgers? Yes.

    Note:
    Todd, if you "spent over $13" there you over-ordered (like a lot of 1st time patrons). You learn that their "regular" is huge and their "small" fry is a whopping huge amount. It should come out around $10 for a regular burger, small fry and a drink -- which is right in line with other better-than-fast food burger prices.

    Bruce for that matter, ever try a BUFFALO burger? Way better than hambugers.
