    I take my dates to Unos. That's where the magic happens.

    Tough thing about this message board is that so many topics have been covered.

    I agree a statute of limitations should be given to certain topics, but this one was just hashed over a few months ago.

    I thought this was a spin off of IJAG's "single guys" thread. I was terrified to click, but I couldn't resist.

    Burgers are infinitely customizable; make sure to get a SMALL Cajun fries. The large ones are gigantic and a 2-3 person job.

    I like Five Guys, but there are better local burger joints out there. But if it's between Five Guys and McDonalds, go with Five Guys if you have the cash.

    The fries are good, but overall I'm not impressed. Especially not with the price. How excited should you be? Not very. I'd be excited if Backyard Burger were heading my way, but they seem to have gone out of business.

    I'm waiting for the Burger Barn. I hear there are lots of opportunities.

    WFW...except for the part about the fries.

    Burgers are fine, but not worth the cost. I like crispy fries, and Five Guys' are just soggy.

    If BYB has gone out of business, this will go down as one of the worst days of my life. :'(

    Great fries, but other places do better burgers.

    The big problem, to me, is that their cooks are smooshers, pressing down on the burgers as they cook. That's a cardinal sin.

    And I don't like how they're needlessly sloppy. Grease is everywhere -- on your bag, oozing out of your burger wrapping, etc. A day after eating a Five Guys burger, I can still smell the oniony grease on my fingers.

    Incorrect. The one in Anniston, Alabama, among others, is still fully operational.
