A Five Guys burger joint just opened today in my area....the first in CA, I believe. I'm dying to go check it out. Maybe this weekend. Is all the hype justified?drool

Red Robin makes a solid burger and for a family-fun atmosphere, it fits the bill perfectly.

However, 5 Guys fits a burger craving like no one's business. When you gotta have mouth-watering goodness, you gotta have 5 Guys. (Just ask BG)

Ate at Five Guys in Auburn today Whee

3 of us - 1 little cheese burger, 2 regular bacon cheeseburgers, 2 large fries, 3 drinks = $33. That's expensive, but we should have gotten only 1 large fry. That would have saved almost $5.

Still, it was very good.

I was a bit skeptical about the price, but I don't think I've ever tasted fresher greens, the burger was great, it was huge... all very very good!

"Little" bacon, double cheese
Small cajun fries (more than I could eat)
Small diet coke (unlimited refills)

$10.05

That's more expensive than places such as Fuddruckers or Red Robin
At least at 5 guys you don't need to tip anyone!

Ok so I tried these guys for the first time today...good tasting burger, but Fuddruckers is still my favorite.

Damn they give you alot of fries though!!! My whole bag was filled with them, the picture only shows about half of what I got, and that's a regular size fries lol.

$13 for Cheeseburger w/bacon + regular fries + regular drink

They seriously need a small size for fries! I brought mine home but of course they get all soggy.

I love Five Guys. We were lucky enough to try In N Out Burgers when we were in Vegas. Pretty tasty too.

I went for the "little burger" cuz I am not a fan of double patty burgers, which is their regular burger.
