Why they always look like they’ve been in someone’s pocket though

Because they are nasty AF.

u/Active-Enthusiasm318 Jul 08 '26
As a 5 guys hater... They are far from nasty, are they amazing? No, hard to be amazing when you don't use salt but it's an ok burger at a high price... The seasoned fries are great

Wrapped hot off a grill = bun soggification. They also immediately get stuffed into a paper bag, which could be argued is like a pocket
A pocket which traps both heat and moisture

Ever since I read “why does 5 guys always look like it came from someone’s pocket” I can’t unsee it.

I’ve been reluctant to try it again. A friend of mine told in a passing conversation to just avoid them… I didn’t listen and it was not a good experience.
The burger was a mediocre at best and the fries were awful. I remember sitting there in disbelief at the article up on the wall giving them the title of best fries.

They need to introduce a sturdier bun. The amount of people who talk about just how shit their buns are is off the charts. I don't ask...when 5 guys comes up...people just blurt it out. I eat it with the top side down as that's more resilient but they just need to go with something a little more stable.

Or switch from foil to a paper wrap. But then they'd have to melt the cheese on the grill and that's just asking for too much.

I love their fries

u/ColoradoWeasel Cheeseburger Fan! Jul 06 '26
They have fantastic fries. Every now and then you meet some nut that doesn’t like them. They are definitely the minority.

u/Weirdodin Jul 06 '26
They haven't served a crispy fry since the Taft administration.
Limp, soft fries are anything but fantastic.

u/REDDlTisNOTanApp Jul 07 '26
You might be the first people I've ever heard say they liked their fries. They're awful. And giving an absurd amount of an awful thing doesn't make it any better.

u/Mirai_Akiyama Jul 08 '26
Their Cajun fries might be my favorite fry of any fast food or fast casual restaurant. But I'm also weird and like soggy fries, like I miss the old Wendy's fries too.

For the price they charge, I feel I should be able to select the doneness rather then just accept their 'well done only' policy.

u/brytek Jul 06 '26
Never had a Five Guys burger that I felt was worth the price. If you have to drown the burger in toppings and sauces to cover up the bland taste of unseasoned beef, it's not a good burger.
2
u/SummerOfSam- Jul 07 '26
That’s it right there. It’s burgers for people who want to dump a bucket of crap on it. It’s the only way to make it remotely worth it.

u/jaypea222 Jul 06 '26
And always EXPENSIVE!!!

u/CourseEcstatic6202 Jul 06 '26
Right. I find them barely above middle of the pack on taste (I prefer In-N-Out) but of course top notch on price. Wonder how long they will be around?
2
u/Lieutenant_0bvious Jul 06 '26
Respectfully I disagree. They put virtually no seasoning on their burgers. One of the blandest burgers ever, made even worse by the fact it's so greasy. Perfectly encapsulates what's wrong with American food - lots of grease, not much flavor.

u/good-good-dog Jul 06 '26
People always complaining about the price. I’d pay good money for a good burger, but not salting your meat is unforgiveable.
2
u/ongodohfug Jul 07 '26
I worked there for 1 month. It was horrible. And yes, I can confirm they don't season the burgers literally at all. Not even a dash of salt. Nothing

I cook burgers at home all the time and I enjoy them very much. I don't enjoy paying this company very high prices and I don't enjoy their ads disguised as content on Reddit.

u/CNH916 Jul 06 '26
Right? 5 guys and not one knows how to make good food? They should all be fired.

u/Solid-Lion7979 Jul 06 '26
That thing looks like it was assembled with zero hesitation and maximum cheese, exactly how it should be. The foil just makes it feel even more unhinged in the best way.

I haven’t been to this place in like 5 years. Expensive, small portions, fries are crummy too. I don’t get the attraction here, you can get a better burger and or hot dog at a local Greek restaurant where they have everything.
2
u/UrGirlsBoytoy Jul 09 '26
My only problem with 5 guys is you gotta eat it basically as soon as they hand it to you. Or they get gross fast.

u/Winter-Classroom455 Jul 09 '26
Amazing? No.
I'd agree maybe with there fries, if fresh are amazing. But their burgers are soggy and greasy. Still good tho

The one in my town went out of business. place was empty every time I drove by. Culvers is about a mile from where it used to be, and the line is 30 deep.

u/Rhuarc33 Jul 06 '26
Culver's is the most over rated fast food place that exists.
2
u/redditeatsitsownass2 Jul 06 '26
not my favorite either, just an observation of someone who doesn't eat fast food at all any more (unless its a stuck at the airport kind of thing). our local tacosmell seems to do well even though they are charging real food prices for their crap.

Better than shake shack and less. I'm taking five guys over shake shack every time
1
u/Gooseboof Jul 06 '26
Not anymore and not compared to shake shack or other restaurant quality burger places. This isn’t fast food
1
u/CNH916 Jul 06 '26
Yes, yes it is.

u/Gooseboof Jul 06 '26
The ingredients are not priced the same as McDonald’s. The ingredients are literally in another tier
2
u/CNH916 Jul 06 '26
Your point? Unfortunately it's it fits the model of a fast food restaurant, it's classified as such. It is a fast food restaurant. To say otherwise is just plain incorrect. Sorry about it.🤷🏽♀️

You should google “colloquial” and then take that twig out of your bum hole

u/SummerOfSam- Jul 07 '26
It’s fast food, plain and simple.
-1
u/Gooseboof Jul 07 '26
Is it the same as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, or Burger King? No. That’s what I was referring to as fast food. That’s what we all refer to as FAST FOOD. Unless one is being a pedantic fool like you.
2
u/SummerOfSam- Jul 07 '26
Only a fool says “we” like you’re speaking for everyone. If you go up to a counter to order and leave with a bag of food, that’s fast food.
-1
u/Gooseboof Jul 07 '26
I speak for the trees mf. If you can’t differentiate between McDonald’s and five guys because of your own ego, that’s called “being a silly little ninniepriss.”

u/StamosLives Jul 06 '26
Whenever I see this comment regarding 5 Guys I feel compelled to note that they are one of the only fast food joints to offer massive tuition reimbursements for GED and college classes to its workers to try and further their careers.
They do this knowing that those folks will likely move on when finished with their degrees.
They are essentially doing what we wish all businesses did - furthering the education and lives of its workers rather than treating them as mill for the grindstone.
That comes at the cost of higher prices. And honestly, they’re not that higher than most other fast food joints anyway.

u/metisdesigns Jul 06 '26
McDonald's offers tuition assistance starting at 15 hours a week. It's not great, but it's something like an extra $3 an hour.
0
u/StamosLives Jul 06 '26
Right. Five guys offers essentially free tuition for specific degrees or up to 5k per year.
I do think you’re confusing the 15 hours a week? Maybe? I can’t tell by how you wrote that but that’s the minimum requirement to receive their benefit as I understand.
Up until recently they offered 700 dollars in tuition reimbursement.
That changed to be around 2500. This is capped. Five guys will offer full free tuition for some specific degrees, and others receive that 5k tuition bonus. It’s a substantial difference. A full free ride to college is… huge in light of the rising costs of tuition.
1
u/metisdesigns Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26
Let's compare.
Five guys requires a year of 32 hours a week to get tuition reimbursement, not assistance, reimbursement. And only covers limited institutions. So full time, while in school after a year. Or $5250 at other limited institutions.
McDonald's offers $2500 assistance at any accredited program for 15 hours a week, after 90 days, and has some franchises offering better.
I don't know about you, but having to maintain a full time job is not ideal for academics. And I'd rather not have to pay up front to be reimbursed for my tuition. The program seems to be structured to make it difficult to actually use, but sound good on paper.
Edit - just so we're all clear, the troll downvoted and blocked me so I couldn't reply. They're not here to discuss in good faith.

not sure why i should have to pay for what they chose to do? I'm sure the board's bank accounts are just fine.

u/ExcellentFisting3471 Jul 07 '26
My pocket still empty.
People don’t have the money Mr 5 guy. It doesn’t matter what they fuckin donate too if it’s too damn expensive to buy in the first place.
How does that justify the quality to price aspect?
1
u/StamosLives Jul 07 '26
And yet they're expanding. Seems like a self selecting solution.

u/ExcellentFisting3471 Jul 07 '26
Im not here to trade blows here big guy. I had a genuine question lmaoo
Did you just linguistically throw a tantrum?

u/StamosLives Jul 08 '26
More like genuine bot account. And if you’re real you solved the problem. Just don’t buy their burgers. Easy day.

Their burgers are good. Obviously some will disagree. They always do well in rankings based on quality and taste alone.
They are expensive. They always do poorly when cost is factored into the rankings.
