I always get the small fry and add the cajun seasoning. I also always destroy my guts with their food for some reason...

Your lunch was a bag of potatoes?

The burger is the best part of Five Guys.

solid disagree. the burger is why I go there. I am pretty meh on their fries, made all the worse by being overstuffed with meh fries

Five guys Fries plus In-N-Out burger would be pretty great. I do not like in-n-out burger fries.

We just had Five Guys for dinner last night. Burger was great. Fries were mediocre. They’re always too salty. I typically find between 3-5 solid fries that meet my expectations, but the rest fall short.

I had BBQ beef on a hard roll, so I sadly cannot agree with your assessment. 5 guys is quite tasty however.

I’m not sure what other people here have been smoking but Five Guys fries are where it’s at while their burgers are ... fine. I’d probably get a burger just because I’m a fat guy who wouldn’t be able to resist but I can understand your logic.

five guys’ fries are amazing.

You can replicate them at home by simply deep frying your cut taters at 375F in peanut oil. Divine.

I prefer crisp fries over savory paste steak fries, so the fries have always been the least compelling part of the Five Guys experience for me. However, since I haven’t had lunch, you are currently winning by default.

A bag of skin on fries. Pretty solid, nice one. Especially with plenty of salt and malt vinegar.

Just made spaghetti bolognese with sliced garlic bread on the side.

I’ll have mine later. I’m not feeling all that clever at the moment (not that well).

Though I also like it when the sauce has cooled, then heated as it’s thicker and takes on a whole new flavour.

Mine wasn’t far behind. We don’t have a 5 guys within striking distance of school. I got the two hot dog special from a local joint down the street, which comes with a big bag of gloriously greasy fries.

T he warm juices soften it, while it’s exterior maintains integrity throughout the eating process. Almost like a good hot s ub. (Ie not Quiznos or Subway)

Softer rolls work too, but you run the risk of them disintegrating towards the end. Better off going open face on that case imho, which is also acceptable.

They get them nice and brown in peanut oil, without making them overly crispy. I was that kid who always liked the brown potato chips that snuck into the bag, though nowadays, they have computerized ninja machines that get rid of the brown ones.

They’re okay, but their fries stand out. From the comments here, you can see that folks either like ‘em or don’t. Peanut oil and nice and brown, skin on, and not too crispy. When they’re in the zone, I love them the mostest.

I like 5 guys as well but it’s hard to justify going there when I have an in and out across the street. As good a burger but much cheaper. I work by food heaven though. Literally like 3 choices for every food type and all amazing.
