Five Guys burgers are much better than In-Out Burgers. Though In-Out does have the second best drive through burgers (first is Backyard Burgers).

Overpriced, I dont think so.

Best fries out there and there burgers are really good, not the best, but for the money a great eat.

Strange but my top 5 burger places are all privately owned sans the winner. Obviously biased towards the Chicago area.

5) Grandpa's Glenview, IL (the old home field)

4) Meyers Pub, Wilmette, IL (must get the tator tots and Dab beer w/burger)

3) Hackney's, Glenview, IL (go to the original on Harms and order the Hackneyburger on dark rye and onion rings)

2) Moody's Pub, Chicago, IL (a hidden gem in an old Moody Bible Church with a huge fire place in the winter and one of Chi-town's best beer gardens in the summer)

1) Treasure Island, Las Vegas (get the one named after the LA Laker guard. LOL)

Best burger I have ever had was at burger joint in Kauai, Hawaii, named Bubbas Burgers. Its a very well known place on a few of the different islands and was where Colbie Callait filmed one of her music videos not too long ago.
Awesome food, I think they even have chicken sandwiches too, but best known for their burgers.

Emeril's Burger is pretty good. Outback has a great burger also.

Best burger I've ever had was from Le Tub in Hollywood Beach, FL

Everything tastes better in Kauai.

I noticed the sign on Route 9 south tonight.
5 Guys Burgers are coming to Sayerville NJ. After reading this thread, I'm kinda looking foward towards it.

Excellent burger, never had the best. See link. If you are heading south from Saratoga on I88. The wings are the BEST. Order Garbage. See menu. This is an old Train Station. Cool atmosphere. Wimpy Burger if you must.

5 guys is overrated. Haven't tried Hodad's, but will keep that in mind. Best burger I've had is the double at Habit in downtown Santa Barbara. Walk-up joint. Chargrilled. Fantastic.

Theres one in Milton, which is a couple miles north of downtown Ballston Spa. Its located in the strip mall which has Hannaford. I think the name of the road is Rowlands Street. I heard its a lot like 5 Guys, some people think its better, some the same.

I went to the one here by Loyola and thought it looked a bit pricey. At least the *amount* of the food was solid for the price. That said, it wasn't my favorite food ever, but would be willing to give it another try.

Good burgers, but also a top hotspot for those who want the feeling of enjoying their meal in a retirement home too.
