Mia,

I'll go try it again, but I didn't think five guys was very good compared to other "high end fast food" like fatburger, super duper (I think that's just sf), etc.

I think Chick-n-Minis might be my new favorite breakfast item. The honey butter mini rolls are really tasty and go with the nuggets really well. Arguably better than the biscuit or bagel. Flame away.

It's $2 here.

The new dollar/value menu changed the McDouble to $1.19.

I can't believe I'm typing this, but I don't think I would want bacon on a buffalo chicken sandwich. Just blue cheese sauce.

Wow, I'd rank 5g much higher than Fatburger (though to be fair I think I've only had Fatburger at the Borgata food court, which might be an inferior location). Good burgers but fries were subpar.

This came up earlier in the thread - apparently the Fatburger in Borgata is far worse compared to other locations in both food quality and speed. Unlike at the Borg, it doesn't take 30 minutes to get your food when you are third on line at other locations. I haven't visited any of the other locations but that is what was claimed.

Just has a Wendy's pretzel pub sandwich with spicy chicken. Not very good, sauce was cloyingly sweet, pretzel bun was doughy and bland. Spicy chicken patty was solid but that's pretty independent from the sandwich. 4/10, won't eat again.

mia,

I may be somewhat biased re: Fatburger, since the only times I've had it are in Vegas when either super drunk or super hung over.

$5.69 was my mental threshold, but I still can't really justify paying >$5 for a Big 3 burger(or chicken) that isn't phenomenal.

Just amps up the disappointment.

I had the pretzel bun but the burger about a month ago or so. Not sure of price, was semi tipsy and was delicious although I remember it being like crazy crazy greasy, whole bottom bun soggy and dripping

If 5 guys would up there bun game they would be the goat. They use those ****ty $1/8-pack white bread buns that just don't hold up.

Smashburger basically ripped off Fatburger. FB has the best onion rings.

Easy task. Although I think it's better than 5 Guys, it seems to be trying to be Whataburger, but not quite making it. Even so, a lot cheaper and somewhat better than 5 Guys.

Fatburger is pretty decent imo but needs to go back to the days where you could just order a fatburger/babyfat/king and not small/medium/large etc. Love the egg on it when i'm eating at the restaurant.
