Yes please. i think it's a much better version of 5 guys. Plus you can get other items than burgers. We usually avoid FF, but with daughter's activities we do not have a lot of prep time at home or the time to sit down for dinner. to go orders slip in during the week (chinese, japanese, vietnamese, thai get in there more so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and I don't like sitting next to peanut sacks. Who's bright idea was that? Someone earlier mentioned Habit, who makes awesome burgers and fries, plus they have all the condiments and hot sauces there at your disposal.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 37 minutes ago, Bier Meister said: i think we have some separate categories here. in-n-out is fast food (that is rarely fast). 5 guys is more of a sit down and lower on that list (vs other sit downs). burger for burger i think in-n-out is a little better, but over the past 5-10 years all ff burgers have gone down hill. i prefer the toppings at 5 guys, but burgers aren't seasoned enough, and their fries too much. in-n-out fries are fine when dining there, but if when i get them to go i have to order them well. Been to smashburger... meh. we like going to the Habit... more variety, better food, and decent value for sit down. The Habit Was gonna say Habit as well... but if anyone’s ever in Napa go to either Squeezins or Gotts roadside best burgers in the valley for the price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana is da Man Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 If you are ever in Manhattan, check out a hidden place called The Burger Joint. It's tucked away in the corner of Le Parker Meridian hotel lobby. Cash only. Burgers are excellent. Call ahead and order so you don't have to wait on the line.

jamesplante11 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 British Beer company has some good burgers too, If we are going to voyage into sit down restaurants. As for local stuff, we have a family farm restaurant down the road that raises their own cows and serves fresh hamburgs, that's something that tough to beat when you go out for a burger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesplante11 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Part of the problem with the 5 guys we have up here is that they press the sh*t out of the patties, bye bye flavor. They also told me they couldn't put the Cajun on my burger before cooking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 We have Culver's in the midwest. It's a darn good burger and very cheap. I like that their beef patty has a crustiness on the outer edge. I think cooking it in butter gives it that crustiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Dick's Burgers here in Seattle is rediculous. Fries are skin on, thin, and crispy. Pair it up with one of their rootbeer floats....boom. Highly recommended if in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
