Five Guys Burger and Fries vs. In N Out Burger

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Since moving back to Minnesota I must say there are certain things missing here that I grew accustomed to living on the west coast. One of them happens to be In N Out Burger.

Today for lunch I was invited to check out Five Guys Burger and Fries. I thought maybe, just maybe, it might kind of compare to the deliciousness of In N Out Burger? No way. Not even close. Other than the Juicy Lucy there is nothing in the midwest that compares with In N Out.

These two burger companies I’m comparing are actually kind of coastal rivals. In N Out from the west coast, Five Guys Burgers from the East coast. A lot of other facts you can review on each companies website (under history). But, for now I leave disappointed with just about everything about 5 Guys Burgers: Not as tasty as IN N Out, Slow Service, missed parts of what I asked for on my burger, bad fries, slow service considering there were actually more like 20 guys working there, loud and annoying in there, greasy to-go bag, and also, really not worth the $10.15 for the regular which should be called the double and the regular fries which is so much bad, greasy fries in your paper bag there really is room for nothing else.

Oh, In N Out, when are you coming to the midwest. Please, save us.
