I usually don't put much on my burger, but I went to Five Guys last night and my friend told me to get BBQ sauce, cooked onions, and bacon on my burger and it was delicious! Has anyone else had this combination before?
Hamburger
A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).
Awesome Five Guys Burger
I don't know what Five Guys is, but I often eat burgers with those ingredients on them and they are indeed delicious.
Now I'm really fucking hungry.
There's a new one in my area, and I have been getting really mixed reviews. My Grandma and sister said it was disgusting, but my Uncle and Grandpa said it was one of the best burgers they had ever had. Someone want to shine some light on this?
I've yet to try Five Guys. I stay about 30-45 minutes outside of two towns(sorta midways between the two), and the Five Guys place is in the town that I never go to. Maybe one will pop up in the other town eventually. If not, then I'm gonna have to drive 40 minutes to the town I never go to just to get a burger...which seems kinda stupid.

Do you find that your tastes are more similar to your grandma and sister or your uncle and grandpa? That might give you an idea of whether you might like it or not. Better to just to there and get one, though. Also have to consider cooks. Maybe the person that made the burgers for your grandma and sister just screwed something up.
I used to work at a Five Guys and had to eat it basically every day. Even after quitting I still go back because it is easy and quick quality food.
I had Five Guys yesterday. They where good before, but have been going down hill a bit over the last year or so, at least where I live. Personally, I think Whataburger is much better. However, Five Guys does have awesome fries.

A lot of older people don't like it because it's so greasy, I've heard very similar comments. If you don't mind grease, you'll love it.

Yeah and a normal burger is a double patty, so you are getting a lot on those buns.
I usually panic when I get up to the counter and the guy asks me what I want on my burger, usually I just end up saying "ehh, just make it all the way". Five Guys has yet to disappoint.
Also, those servings of fries are fucking massive.
I like jalapenos, green peppers, onions, and A1 sauce. Be careful though, the jalapenos are raw and HOT AS HELL! they can really tear your stomach (and toilet) up.
We have Five Guys restaurants all over the place up here in the Twin Cities. The burgers are okay. They're basically a slightly better butter burger from Culvers. I'm cool with that. However their fries are absolute shit. Sure you get a bunch of them, but they suck. Always a soggy mess.

Wow, that is amazing to me that anyone could possibly compare Culvers to Five Guys. Here in Chicago, Culvers is pretty much a bottom of the barrel, last-resort kind of place.

In the past year, my mouth lost most of its sensitivity to spicy foods. Unfortunately the rest of my digestive system did not follow suit, so I still have to be careful about it. It's a shame, since I really like spicy food.
I should really try Five Guys out. I've heard good things, and I've missed being in driving range of In-N-Out since moving from California to Wisconsin.
While I'm never against any kind of burger, I've gotta come out as staunchly anti-barbeque sauce on anything other than ribs and, "maybe" chicken. All it does for me is mask the flavour of the meat.
Maybe the Five Guys I ate at just wasn't very good. Definitely not saying it was a bottom of the barrel burger, but it certainly isn't anything special. It was mostly the fries that soured me on the whole experience.@wolf_blitzer85 said:

@wolf_blitzer85: Sure, I agree the fries aren't great, but that's not why you go to Five Guys. It's not why I go, anyway.
And besides, I don't like Culvers' fries either. Bad for an entirely different reason, less soggy, more tasteless and bland.

Ummm....brisquet? You HAVE to have BBQ sauce with brisquet.
@jakob187:
My apologies I forgot pulled pork and brisket, I so rarely go to good barbeque that those items kind of fall off my radar.
Edit: As an aside nobody makes a better burger than Dick's If I could manhandle a couple of those suckers right now, you betcha I would.
