So did I, but mine had hops in it and it was beechwood aged.
Steaks? Either you like very cheap burgers or really cheap steaks
Not to mention they're two totally different things. If you wanted a steak why did you go to a burger place?
2 patty 2 fattyYeah you better stick to the kids meals then if you can't handle 2 patties.
I refuse to call it Joes KC as well. I haven't been to the one in OP, but the one in Olathe was much saltier than the original at the gas station. Did the OP store get it right?
Twisted (at least the one in Shawnee) is also pretty fantastic if you haven't tried it. I used to go there primarily for their fish tacos, but came away impressed with their burgers as well.
For that late night artery-clogging goodness, Town Topic is tough to beat.
The Culver's in Ames is god awful. Greasiest burger I've even eaten and bad fries.
I do notice a difference in burgers depending on which Culvers you go to. The one in Clear Lake are never greasy....almost too much so for my tastes. The one on Urbandales is always solid. Only been to Ames once and yes it was greasy, but I actually am OK with that.
I love 5 Guys burgers and the fries are great. We save a bit of money by ordering the li'l cheeseburger. You get plenty of fries and peanuts.
Also, I'm a big fan of Smashburger as long as you order the smashsauce on the burger.

OK...much of the thread has me feeling OK about not trying 5 Guys yet. Probably will still need to go someday so I can form my own opinion.
I do have one question.
What is with the talk about "peanuts"??? I'd never think to put a fast food burger joint with offering peanuts. I'm not saying this is good or bad, just unexpected.

IMO, Five Guys is good for what it is. It's a better burger than your standard fast food joints, but it's not elite. That's its niche, though. Between McDonalds and a great burger. It doesn't make sense to expect more than that.
I order a little cheeseburger, load it up with grilled mushrooms, grilled onions and jalapenos and then get a small fry and a drink. I think that runs around $10. It's pricey, but it's way better than your typical fast food joints. The meat actually tastes like meat and it doesn't leave me with a horrible I-shouldn't-have-done-that feeling.
As far as the peanuts, Five Guys has bulk peanuts in bins with paper trays that you can fill up while you wait or while you eat. It's a little weird, but some people really like it. If someone has a peanut allergy, I imagine that is what hell looks like to them.
Fries at Culver's? Everyone knows you're supposed to get cheese curds.
Throw in a Kit-Kat concrete at Culver's and you are good to go...
