Shake Shack vs In-N-Out vs Five Guys (burger, French, California)

[snowchaser2002]

Five guys all the way for me!

I have all of those places in my town.

I much prefer Inn-In-Out over 5 Guys but I never tried Shake Shack. Saw one in NYC that had a very long line of patient people, so I assumed it much worth the wait.

I have never heard of shake shack. I like In -N- Out's burgers but, there fries have gone down hill. I love 5 guys but, they are pricey.

The fries can be kind of limp if you don't tell the order-taker to fry them longer so they're crisp. Lots of people do that. In general, you can do any kind of special ordering without pissing them off, they like the challenge since they like the job.

What about whataburger.

In-n-out is my pick. Albeit since I live on the east coast and can only get it on trips, not sure if the infrequent visits makes it more of a 'treat'.

Never had Shake Shack. 5 guys is okay. But to me I actually like BGR better (not sure how big of a chain that is).

I've only been to Five Guys in NJ and in Asheville for the last time (drop of quality, burgers almost = size of White Castle) and increase of grease). Prior to this year, I thought they were certainly superior to other fast foods. Boo hoo (really, I enjoyed them).

I also vote on Texas Ag's response as being probably the most hysterical (if we can vote but I don't want to sidetrack the forum). More!!!

Nobody should be able to vote unless they've tried all three; Shake Shack just doesn't have the number of locations as the others, but is clearly the best.

^^^ yep; I have never heard of SS or IAO, there's a 5 Guys in town but we don't go out to eat.
