Anyone who liked the Pretzel Pub Chicken sandwich from Wendy's should go try the Clubhouse Chicken from McDonalds. Very similar in my opinion other than the overly dense pretzel bun.

The overly dense pretzel bun was kind of the highlight on the Wendy's thing.

Does anyone else live near a Shake Shack now that they have expanded? They have taken off in Miami, too good.

We have, or had, some Fatburgers in Chicago. They are worse than Five Guys by a mile. I'd almost rather eat at Wendy's than Fatburger.

Sort of anecdotal to drinking ranch..

There was a dude at work who saw me put franks red hot on some steak tips (pretty good, might I add). He asked if he could have some of my sauce so I said sure. It was that moment I realized he had no food and drank some of the red hot. McCheese was this you?

Is Five Guys actually a thing? I like Wendy's from time to time.

Nothing beats Dicks out here in seattle though.

Five Guys really lost it's luster in Tampa. I hardly know anyone that still goes there and any time I do go there (twice a year at most) it's rather empty. So many better options owned by local people now. They actually closed one down due to lack of business.

Did you suck down a big Dicks shake?

I had a Dairy Queen double cheeseburger the other day. It had tons of melted cheese on it. It was rather glorious.

Yeah the big Dicks shake is pretty gnarly, they make it with real cream though so it's delicious.

Yeah Five Guys was super busy when it first opened and then about 18 months later they are now consistently empty, at least the 3 that are by my house and office.

Is it a pricing thing? That place sounds like they charge $14 for a big mac.

They are much better than McDonald's, but a bit expensive for what it is, in my opinion. I like Five Guys, but there are better options around here(Ft Lauderdale/Miami) for around the same price.

Probably but who knows. Could be oversaturation. Five Guys expanded immensely at the same time every regional burger place (except In N Out) seemed to be doing the same. Plus the burger craze caused a lot of local places to pop up that are better and cheaper, at least around here.

Anyone whose worked in fine dining in Chicago but is sick of that environment opens a burger place now. Burgers are the new cupcakes!

Cajun is really starting to pick up here in Tampa.

I see Five Guys going the way of Quiznos with their over expansion too quickly.

Yeah I've seen one maybe two five guys in the Seattle area, Dicks is pretty much the institutionalized go-to burger place.

I mean fresh pressed potato french fries and actual milk milkshakes. I get 3 cheese 3 fry for less than 10 bucks. It's just the best.

Dicks buns are toasted too... and they don't fuck it up with pickles.

5 Guys will continue to get my business as long as they keep dumping absurd amounts of french fries into the bag.

Plus free peanuts. Often I fill up on peanuts while waiting for my burger and fries, which makes the main course all the more satisfying.

My stomach cannot possibly compete with this level of glutony. I must be a bitch.

All are bitches before his Lardness, "The McCheese".

I won't lie, the shit-ton of fries they throw in the bag is a nice bonus. I'm allergic to peanuts, though, so that is actually in the 'cons' column for me.
