In-N-Out Burger vs. Five Guys? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Five Guys only because there isn't In-N-Out where I live.

Dave-ROR · 03-09-2012, 06:56 PM

5 guys all the way since we don't have In-N-Out here

Zaku · 03-09-2012, 06:58 PM

.... I hate to admit it but I've never had a Five Guy Burger... I've always had their hot dog ....

Five Guys Burgers no doubt! In & Out is tasteless and bland.

fatoni · 03-09-2012, 07:02 PM

in n out is good but 5 guys has bacon

Capt Canuck · 03-09-2012, 07:35 PM

Before moving to the States last autumn I did not know of either, but after trying them both a few times since, definitely 5 Guys. I can only manage a Jr. Bacon Burger with fries, that is more than enough for me in one sitting.

In N Out doesn't have much variety admittedly, but it's a sort of classic that at the same time is a bit different. I like their portions, and I haven't gotten sick of it yet. We'll see how that goes though lol.

In n Out...but I do enjoy a 5 guys burger every now and then

RRnold · 03-09-2012, 07:54 PM

Is it even fair to compare In N Out to Five guys?

I see Five Guys

and for the price of Five Guys ($6), something like Rocky's would be a better match.

53Driver · 03-09-2012, 07:58 PM

Well, I think I can speak to this subject with some authority since I grew up in Cali' but was living on the East Coast when 5 Guys started. To start off, my heart will always have a place for In N Out just because I have so many memories (especially from my college days in L.A.) going to In N Out. With that being said, I do believe 5 Guys has the edge on the quality of food. The big drawback to 5 Guys is the price. I can get a double double with fries and a drink for a little over $6 where at 5 Guys that would cost me $10+. Not sure if that price difference makes 5 Guys worth it, especially as someone else mentioned that for those kind of prices you could eat at a sit down restaurant and get a better meal for the same price and even have a beer while doing so. :happy0180:

I'm from Miami, and I don't know what any of these places are..

Our most popular chains are....

Pollo Tropical
Latin America
La Carreta

and some more I don't remember

@ Pollo Tropical we get this for ~6 bucks maybe less

@ La Carreta is like a Cuban Denny's/Chilies/Applebee's

etc too many pics

This thread is going to make me get some Five Guys burger. Mmmmmm

It does seem like my friends & family from the west coast prefer In & Out over Five Guys. The taste buds have a different preference I suppose. Not saying In & Out is bad, I just don't taste anything when I have it.

There's some reason behind that! In N Out pitch is freshness so the lack of taste might be from the less preservatives and other chemicals to add flavor like what you'll find in most food products today.

That's the thing with InO, they don't need to spread across the US, keep it exclusive, keep it West Coast.

One thing's for sure is that given we have so much diversity here, there is so much more to eat where In N Out become more of the "whats open and I only have 4 bucks... Jack n Crack or In N Out!?!"

But if you're from SoCal, you'll know Carne Asada fries is the business for under 10 bucks!!
