In N Out vs Five Guys

A little background... i was born and raised in California.. so by default i love In n Out.. but since joining the military i was able to taste what America has to offer.. i havent tried everything yet.. but im that type of guy that would eat anything. You cant say you dont like it if you havent tried it.. thats what i think.. well here we go.. so tonight was my first night eating at five guys


Doesnt look to fancy.. i noticed there wasnt a drive thru...

When i went inside i was amazed at how long the line was.... i waited for approx 20 minutes... but they had these in line



yep peanuts..

Here is what Five guys had to offer



i guess they sell hot dogs also.. i went with the bacon cheeseburger it seems like they have the same mentality as In N Out.. freshness of ingridients

my order is ready



greasy bag... =/

couldnt really get my burger out.. it was buried below the massive amount of fries they gave me



so i had to rip the bag, this is how the burger looked like


and after a few bites in i decided to take another picture



i finished the burger and had to say its good...

now the comparison.. i like In N Out.. and this Five Guys burger was amazing... but for some reason when i ate the burger from FG it felt really fattening.. lol.. In N Out not so much... i enjoyed the cajun fries that came with the FG burger.. but in my opinion the fries were a little to thick for my liking.. im leaning more towards the In N Out fries.. i tried ketchup and malt vinegar with the FG fries... man that wasnt good.... maybe its an acquired taste.. i couldnt finish the fries though.. but good point to add, they really give you alot...

As of right now.. i havent eaten at In N Out for about a year..... Im going to San Deigo in about 3 weeks and ill make a write up for In N Out

this is my opinion so far.. i like the FG burger over In N Out.. not really fond of the fattening feeling... but i think it taste better...but i like In N Out Fries alot better than FG's

more to come in the following weeks

 

Looks like the In N Out counters. I've never heard of five guys

 

i have never had anything from inand out, because there isnt one on the east coast that i know of......................but i love 5 guys. their burgers are amazing!!

 

rofl at the thread title

 

never heard of in n out but there's a five guys near where i live. pretty darn good if you ask me

 

In N Out is amazing. Period.

 

Interesting theres a five guys near my house. well I found lunch for tomorrow.

 

In n out.

 

Never had five guys, but I LOVE In n Out


wish there was one in flag.

 

im just surprised none of the other "mature" TW members noticed it first.

 

I went into the In and Out in Lake Havasu City while I was on vacation. It was spring break week and there was a few kids in there in bikinis. One had on a cowboy hat and a bikini about the size of 3 bandaids. I don't remember much about the burger... I went to 5 Guys in Mystic CT last winter. Snowy day, about 20 degrees. That was a good burger.

 

haha its the opposite for me.. not reallly a big fan of the thick cut fries.. and i wasnt feeling the cajun seasoning.. thats just me though

 

i thought this should be in the underground...sounds like a porn title

 

lol...

 

bob, will you change the thread title to "What's better in me: In N out or 5 Guys"

 

maybe the title i chosed wasnt a wise one? lol

 

I just wish they both served beer, that's what would make both better.

 

Never heard of In & Out - obviously, we don't have them here.

Five Guys is awesome - but a bit expensive for what it is. I still go there once in a while. We have two of them in my area. Never heard of the cajun fries - maybe that's something they've added to the menu? Or not in this area?

We have Fuddruckers here also and their bugers are awesome especially since you can 'dress' the burger yourself. Comparable to FG prices.

Nothing beats a burger at a local sports bar though......
