Whats your opinion?

I had Frugels as #1 but after discovering Richwine's Burgerville in Polson MT, they are THE BEST, but not a chain.
Today I had a 5 guys, 2nd time in my life. It didn't hurt, they were gentle to my patties.

So here's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it (so are the burgers sticking to me)

#1- 5 guys burgers. Absolutely juicy and very customizable. Best buns too. Reminds me of my wife.
#2- Frugels. Like 5 guys, every thing is fresh, and a nice big meaty patty. At my age, any big meaty patty in a storm!
#3- Shake Shack. OMG, I drool when ordering. Maybe its my age but they're pretty damn good.
#4- Fuddruckers. Thick like yo mama! I like their fries too.
#5- InandOut. I only mention them as a much better alternative to McDonalds, Burger King, etc. I was intially impressed when they first came out in CA when we visited there but now that their a chain, blah. They are okay, but nothing to write mama home about.
Honorable mention: Whataburger. However, depending on WHICH Whataburger you choose, you might get Whatabooger. They are so inconsistent on their product. For instance, the closer to you get to the Texas Border, the worse the end product is.

1. Always pretty consistent across the states. GREAT Fry chaser!

Have you noticed that every store has only "5 guys" (or gals) working? That's their business model. Low overhead, high volume, fresh meat.

5 guys is good. Only had shake shack once,expensive and no where near as good as in and out. bubbas in allyn is good but not a chain

Also, they are not paid minimum wage similar to the way Dick's does. Did I mention the FRIES?

You got me there, I like Dick Fries. er, Dick's Fries.
5 guys is pretty damn good for fries as is Frugals.

Honestly, I haven't eaten at most of those chains. Did Kid Valley not make the cut? Or Burgermaster? Or have I not had a good burger before?

We travel a lot. I have not heard of Kid Valley (Didn't they go out of business when Jeffrey hung himself in jail?) or Burgermaster. Are they local chains?

Yes, I think they are local chains. I forget that you don't live around here :-)

"anymore"....we escaped the Peoples republic of WA state.

Used to do Burgermaster, but switched to 5 Guys, seemed a bit better. Did I mention the FRIES? I thought of checking out Kid Valley, but the one at the malfunction triangle was something that was a "Naw, don't need it that bad" thing.

I want to try Shake Shack.

5 Guys is decent, buns too soggy, fries good - Bellevue and Redmond cook burgers soooooooooooooo dry. Monroe does burgers fine. 5 guys need better control.

Best burgers used to be at Carl's Sunshine Broiler. And Carl's Jr was decent. Whatever happened to them when the came north, they lost it completely. Not good.

OK worst burgers EVER, gross, soggy fing disgusting? Dick's.

Dude, fill out a comment form online. The owners/management may not know employees are cooking the burger to leather consistency.

5 guys is good. Ordering online does suck because the few times I have gone to pick up they don't drop the fries till I get there. So I wait while my burger gets room temp and the buns soggy. Gotta order in person and wait.

I do like 5 guys...their fries are great. found a place in Keystone South Dakota that did a killer bison burger.....Blazing Onion also has a bison burger that not bad at all.
