In-N-Out Burger, the best years ago and the best right now. 5 guys are not even close.
What-a-burger is a decent fast food burger, but by no means the "best" burger there is to eat. Mostly it's convenient, relatively quick and consistent. It's really hard to get one of them cooked medium rare....

I have heard from several people how good 5 Guys are so the wife and I tried them for lunch. $28 for 2 burgers and 1 regular order of fries. We both liked the fries but overall nothing special. Sure not worth $28. Way over priced.

We will not be going back. Personally I think Sonic is better and I know Johnnie's is.

The last time I tried 5 Guys I thought it was pretty good food, but I do agree it most definitely isn't worth the price.

Five Guys has better than average burgers, and I am a fan of their fries, but they are waaaaaay overpriced when I can get much better for less (Flo’s kicks their butts any day and twice on Sunday). Whataburger has some of the better fast food burgers; they’re not as good as Five Guys, but they’re also about half the cost, and Five Guys’ burgers certainly aren’t twice as good.

The one that’s really been disappointing lately has been Fat Guy’s. Those were some great burgers, and really good fries, but the last few times I’ve been in, they’ve undercooked the meat. I can deal with undercooked steak, but undercooked hamburger is a definite no-no for me.

Five guys are too expensive for me. We usually go to the Garage. I like their sweet potato fries.
I did not care for Sonic for years. Their burgers are pretty good now.
Smitty's Garage? One of the few places that has gluten free buns, I like their chili cheeseburger and the swiss mushroom burger. Not the best fries in the world, but not bad.

I'm not one to follow the crowd especially "preppy" types like to Starbucks, 5 Guys of any other burger joint that charges $28 for two burgers and fries. For that much I could go to Logans or Texas Roadhouse and have a steak with all the hot rolls I want and have enough leftover and add a bit for a tip. Kind of like paying $55 for a tie at Dillards when you can buy basically the same tie at Kohl's for $12.

Wife and I tried 5 guys twice, the one on Riverside Dr. and the one in BA. Both times it sucked. Way overpriced and greasy and the place was messy. Steak and Shake up the hill from 5 Guys was much better and cheaper.

We like Chili's and Boomerang and Arnold's in West Tulsa and the Lot-a-burger on the Sand Springs line are good places to get a burger. Truth is there are a lot of places with better burgers than 5 Guys.
