    Their burgers are good but OMG the fries...........so yum!

    I get a kid's burger if I go and try to not eat the whole bag of fries. I also go on days when I have had a good workout to ease a bit of guilt, hehe!!!

    It's a toss up for me between Five Guys and Fuddrucker's. We have both in my town. I don't eat at either place on any kind of regular basis. It's a treat that I work into my calories. I just decide where I'm willing to sacrifice in order to fit it into my budget. Cost is another factor that keeps me from eating there more frequently. I just think of calories eaten and money spent before I go out to eat, and decide if the sacrifices to stay on track will be worth it. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

    Exactly!!

    Those five guys are such evil *kitten*. Have you seen this? I think it pretty much sums up the deliciousness that is Five Guys (autotuned by the Gregory Bros):

    I cope by not going much, getting the smallest sizes, and exercise, combined with guilt and the inevitable nausea and regret that typically accompanies such an indulgence. But oh....it's glorious in the moment.

    I never have had 5G burger even though it's in my city. It's just something I don't want to waste calories on when there are so many better choices of resturants and food. I will put it on my food bucket list though :)

    I live in Canada, and before I started tracking my calories, I wet to Five Guys at least once a week. I almost died when I first looked to see how many calories were in my meal. The fries alone are deadly. Needless to say, I stopped going to Five Guys. Actually, I stopped going to most restaurants altogether.

    5 guys is great, just remember there is a smaller sized burger you can get. Going to sound stupid but I didn't realize there was lol. Also skip the fries, not worth it in my book.

    Honestly though, if it's a nice day I like cooking up burgers using ground beef from costco. Better quality, easier to control the calorie/portions, my wife is great at seasoning and makes for a great cookout.

    Hahaha! I've tried their food once and it was way too greasy for my stomach to handle. Never eaten there again, but it seems like everyone else LOVES it. Guess I'm lucky that the temptation just isn't there.

    This^

    Not all that impressed.

    We don't cope... we're mostly overweight.

    ^This - It is hard to avoid, because fast food is everywhere and our busy lifestyles often make it seem like the only choice. It takes a great deal of planning and preparing ahead to make sure you can feed your family-on-the-go a good healthy meal. It only takes a couple of minutes to run through a fast food drive-thru.

    We only eat at 5 guys very rarely because they're all an hour away one way but it's worth it as a treat.

    I've actually never been to Five Guys. I prefer to eat at home or a at a nice restaurant.

    I've never heard of it! I take it it's named because it makes you the size of five guys?

    Honestly I was never impressed by them. Yeah their burgers are good, and you can order it almost any way you want for no extra charge. My problem is their price. For that much money you could get better food in more quantities. And the biggest thing is I hate their fries. Well, that style of fries as a whole. So maybe that's not their fault. Oh well. To each their own :happy:

    I really think, this is the best burger place in the U.S. but just because it tastes good, does not mean, I am forced to eat there a lot.

    We have a much cheaper and way tastier (and even slightly healthier) chain called Cook Out. It blows Five Guys out of the water. Plus you can get 4 different sizes in burgers, and the fries are reasonable portions, not the giant bucket you get from Five Guys. And they have excellent grilled chicken as well.
