5 guys Burgers

I have yet to try 5 Guys, but if the price difference is what people here are claiming, wouldn't your claim fall under Mr Obvious?
I loved BBops when I was in Ames 20 years ago (which had no BBops and we hit it when we were in DM.) When they expanded to CR a while ago, they weren't good at all.
It's been years since I've been to a 5 Guys. I recall I wasn't that impressed since it was way too greasy.
In-N-Out, Zombie Burger (DM only--one in Coralville sucked), Burgerfeen, and Shake Shack are all better burger joints than BBop and 5 Guys.

bbops burgers are a little above average but their fries are good. And it's half the price.
Same experience, even by Chicago/LA overpriced standards where I've been living it's way overpriced. I had one near my office and never went there because local chains were just as good and cost $3-6 less.
I like 5 Guys, but I'll save the 4 bucks and get BBops all day.
5 guys is literally twice the cost of In-N-Out. I have no idea how they even exist out here. In-N-Out is cheaper than McDonalds and delivers an obviously better quality product.
BBops is great on days when it's nice enough to eat outside when you buy it, not so great after driving it across town though.
If you want an expensive but good burger go to BW's in Des Moines.
I personally love eating at 5 Guys, I stop there every Friday to get my 2 burgers for lunch.
WHAT?!?!?! That's the best part.
For just a little bit more, I can go to Oklahoma Joe's and get some damn fine BBQ, so Red Robin, Five Guys and really all the 'high end' burger joints are just out of the rotation completely. Especially when the burgers they make aren't better than what I would make for myself at home.

The only two times we have been there, my husband tried to get his money's worth by eating a ton of peanuts. Lucky we didn't have all of our kids with us, would need a second mortgage on the house.
I figured when I started this thread everyone would kill me for saying it. Apparently I am not the only one that thought it was ridiculous. I will take Fudruckers over them as well. Cheaper and they have a killer bar to put stuff on the burger.
B Bops is a good normal priced fast food burger. Nothing great but good priced and I have never been disappointed in the product.
OH well I spend $33 dollars on my burger, my daughters burger, two fries, a shake (which actually was not the best) and my drink. Freakin ridiculous. Live and learn.

I've had pretty mixed experiences at Five Guys. The first couple of times it was off the charts good but the last time I was there it was absolutely terrible. If you are going to charge a super inflated price you better deliver a premium product every time.
IMO the secret with Bbops is to go when it's busy. They are pulling the burger patties right off the grill and assembling your burger. Go during non peak hours and the burger won't be as fresh.

I think Culver's consistently being left out of these burger debates is criminal.
Culver's makes a solid fast food burger.
I remember drinking that stuff the day I arrived at ISU. Had to use it for like a week.
But I didn't want a double. I had thought the little cheeseburger was just a smaller burger.
This is America, doubles are now Juniors, triples are singles, half gallon pop is a medium, try to keep up.
