Five Guys fries are WAY better than In-N-Out fries! And since fries are more important than burgers, that's all that matters to me.
+1, if a place has sucky fries, I won't go back (though good fried mushrooms may tempt me)
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Five guys in mouth and tummy is good
going In and out ain't too bad either.

We get 5 Guys at work pretty much every Friday. Fries were great today. I don't have an In & Out within 2000 miles either.
However, case of grass being greener on the other side (of the country)... I vote for In & Out.
Whoever said the burger isn't important - um, what are you talking about?

I finally tried a five guys burger today (don't have 1 where i live)
It was delicious but I am leaning towards in-n-out for the win. Maybe it's the thousand island dressing.
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
I've had both but vote for 5 guys because of the choices of toppings you get and also it's a hand formed burger so better imo.
"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
Yummy
Double Double Animal Style from In n Out just scratches an itch, for some reason.
5 Guys is super yummy, a lot more expensive, and the frie overload is great.
Any place you can slap pickles, jalapenos, fried onions, banana peppers, A1, hot sauce & mushrooms is worth it... (so I'll go 5 Guys :0)
Not seeing too many people talk up Carvers Famous Butter Burger - hell of a burger - with a side of cheese curds
Shake Shack is awesome
Hodads in Ocean Beach however, holds the crown
Holy cow do I want a hungover 10 am greasy burger right now
White Castle will always be my personal favorite, but it's much better when you are drunk and very dangerous a few hours later.
5 Guys was pretty damn good. There's no In and Out burgers around here, so I can't speak for it.
I tried Sonic once, which everyone seems to rave about, but it was the most generic fast food I've ever had. There was nothing special at all about it.
I think I'm the only person in Chicago or anywhere for that matter, who's not thrilled by Portillos. It just doesn't do anything for me. My family, especially when the ones from California when they fly in are obsessed.
Their burgers seem bland, I've had much better roast beef, and the hot dogs aren't that great.
You find much better food at U.S. Cellular Field in my opinion.
You guys are making me dying to get out to California now just to finally experience the In n' Out burger. I've been to Five Guys once... it was somewhere west of Boston. All I remember is that it was a ridiculous portion of burger and fries. I don't even want to know how many calories it had. I'm perfectly satisfied with a Wendy's Jr Bacon Cheeseburger.
hell yes. especially while drinking or day after. :thumbup:
I've been near in and outs for years. burgers are good. i do not care for their fries.
We just had a 5 guys open just up the street. I have yet to try it.
If I had known then what I know now...

Just had a Five Guys burger today for the first time and was impressed. It was overflowing with toppings and the burger itself was very tasty. It was like $6 for the burger but it was also the most expensive one on the menu (bacon cheeseburger). I still think Fuddruckers is better though and I have only had an In 'N Out burger once. Five Guys was better.
oooooooooooooooh boy. got a 5 guys gift card in my stocking last week. seeing this thread is making my mouth water. jeagler, set to me a trip to 5 guys tomorrow

I just had it for the first time this year. Animal style double. I was in SF with my brother, and this was the only culinary request.
Compared to McDs or BK or wendys, 1000 times better.
But I was not really impressed.
I Haven't had 5 guys in awhile (wait that didn't sound right ) In n out should expand out here in the east coast.
White Castle, haven't had that in years. Hariold & Kumar anyone? Wonder if there is still one in Jersey :problem:

never heard of 5 guys and frankly there isn't a better burger than in-n-out so this really isn't a contest (at least for me)
I think they have one in orange county somewhere
in n out was great last year
They just opened a Five Guys in Cerritos, CA within the last year. I like it, especially with the options you have for toppings/sauces/condiments, but it's hard to top a double-double animal style. Growing up in SoCal, I've got to go with In-N-Out.
For those in the area though, I can suggest another place I really like. The Habit. It started in Santa Barbara and we used to go there all the time in college at UCSB. They now have places in and around the LA area. Pretty delish.

"With our thoughts we make the world"
lol.............i picked up on that too.
5 guys, in n out, dicks............
seems my mind is always in the gutter.
and btw, I pick In-n-Out. I've had 5 guys, they're good. Quite expensive. There is one in Carson, Ca.
In-n-Out just rules!
The best expression of Love is Time.
