Their fries are worth the price of admission and if hot dogs are on the menu I head for those rather than for their overcooked burgers (in my world anything over rare is overcooked). Try the dogs and fries next time and I can practically guarantee you'll change your mind.Trishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-45437025247745805002010-02-14T01:10:25.532-05:002010-02-14T01:10:25.532-05:005 Guys is real good - the nearest one to me is in ...5 Guys is real good - the nearest one to me is in Swampscott but your burger there is like $5.50. I can't see it being worth NYC prices. We mainly do Sonic, they have a Peabody store which I think is the only one east of the Hudson.<br /><br />For me NYC food will pretty much always come down to pizza or deli. Or random halal carts.<br /><br />My mom's been to the Westport 5 Guys about 4 times so far since it opened, which is quite something since she just lost a week to lung surgery. Shows you how important a good burger can be.jhthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663847339805361417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-77286310530196351972010-02-12T16:11:27.645-05:002010-02-12T16:11:27.645-05:005 Guys is overpriced, but the best burger and frie...5 Guys is overpriced, but the best burger and fries of any chain I've tried. Like my love of KFC - basically a once-or-twice a year slurge. Splitting an order of fries with a glutton-partner-in-crime is a worthy adventure.Hellbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920776278213732305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-8124141637462794022010-02-11T21:10:33.067-05:002010-02-11T21:10:33.067-05:00Paul's Place is great, mainly because the owne...Paul's Place is great, mainly because the owner used to be the cook at Jackson Hole on 3rd Ave and 35th St. Almost identical burgers and both are great. 5 Guys in Pittsburgh is about 2/3 the price of the Manhattan location. The burgers are good, but only in an old time beach front burger stand kinda way.Joe Juskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372481990907532158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-69347932366597660262010-02-11T17:25:23.616-05:002010-02-11T17:25:23.616-05:00Paul's palace is still there (thanks the gods)...Paul's palace is still there (thanks the gods), doing brisk business and maintaining the same high standards as during the Nineties.

A wide variety of toppings (including the blessed bleu cheese), decent egg creams (a dying NYC art form) and crispy steak fires add up to the ne plus ultra of burger-dining experiences.Bunche (pop culture ronin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11831085937894725459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-56841715856316095492010-02-11T15:37:02.660-05:002010-02-11T15:37:02.660-05:00Hmmmmm a Five Guys just opened to much ballyhoo in...Hmmmmm a Five Guys just opened to much ballyhoo in Westport, and I have already been there twice.<br /><br /> It's not quite as expensive as the New York model, but then I purchased the non Bacon version. <br /><br /> I have loved the taste of their burgers since I trekked up to Newtown (a good 15 miles from where I live) to try it on a relative's reccomendation. I wasnt disappointed and was very happy when I read of a new shop opening in the town next to mine. Since it has opened, it has done boffo business too. There is always a line.<br /><br /> Sorry your experience with the chain wasnt as fulfilling.Jim Browskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-38382950336772428012010-02-11T15:08:50.447-05:002010-02-11T15:08:50.447-05:00y'know...

They are usually around the $5-6 range. nearly ten bucks is ridiculous . <br /><br />Also, if you were full after half that burger, you can get one that only has one patty on it instead of two. This is also cheaper.<br /><br />But, yeah. I cant get enough of the cheeseburger with BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato and pickles. NOM. Sorry you didn't enjoy it.Erinnoreply@blogger.com
