*You can order online without having to make an account. Milkshakes are made upon arrival. Skip the link and go straight to pick up and inform them of your online order. Super convenient.
*They do not serve a veggie patty but they have enough toppings to make a decent veggie burger. Double up the cheese.
I grew up on the West Coast in San Diego and as you've probably guessed, I'm a die hard In-N-Out fan. The only burger I've ever known and cared for was the the "Animal Style" Cheeseburger (a regular cheeseburger with grilled onions, special spread and pickles added). It was the burger that saw me through my childhood, through my ups and downs and would be the burger that would always have my heart.
During my two short years of living in New Jersey, I learned of the East Coast's go-to burger, Five Guys. One day, I longed for an In-N-Out burger there were none to be found. I was excited to find a temporary fix while away from San Diego so I went out and tried Five Guy's popular burgers. I was blown away by this burger. It was substantial, it was huge, it was loaded and it was beyond fresh. I didn't know that I would ever crave another burger than In-N-Out, but that was not the case. Five guys is the only other burger I will dream about and crave because it's so good that it makes that kind of impression.
You can get crazy with customization or just leave it to them and "go all the way" with their set award winning combination of toppings- Mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, grilled onions, mustard. Other topping options include: onions, fried onions, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, A-1 sauce, Bar-B-Q sauce and hot sauce. I could only imagine and dream about the other undiscovered award winning combinations out there. I'm glad I have a lot of time to explore.
I thought wow, this burger is great, but then I hear from family & friends, "Wait, there's more!" Yes, their sides of Cajun fries and milkshakes were equally as satisfying. Great portion and great flavor, Cajun fries always hits the spot (with just the perfect amount of spice). I love that they fry them in peanut oil and that they're always super fresh. Though after sitting in a bag, you can see some oil seep through but that's why I like to share them with my family, so as to cut down on the fat. If the fries weren't enough, they even serve milkshakes, that are without a doubt, super refreshing, true to their flavor, without preservatives and super delicious.
During my visits throughout the year, I always went directly for the burgers, but one day I saw their hot dogs on the menu and felt it was time to try them out. Not only does Five Guys have award winning hamburgers, but yes, award winning hot dogs as well. I had the plain hot dog with "all the way" toppings and I couldn't stop saying "Yum!" with each bite. The dog was seasoned perfectly, not too salty (as lots of dogs are for me) and with no preserved taste at all. I would encourage for everyone to try their hot dogs.
Service is very efficient at Five Guys. They have a nice energy between their team, communicating and talking to one another to ensure the best experience possible. I love that they are fast with food prep and hand off with confidence and a smile.
Five guys, along with In-N-Out, will always be among my top favorite burgers. They're both different, but both so good so I can't choose a number one. Last thing to note is that they have complimentary peanuts (self-serve). Say What!? As if the burgers, fries, and milkshakes weren't enough. I know...
