All this talk of burgers has me thinking I'm watching a Sooners game with a billion Whataburger commercials.

For the full experience, you should play "Boomer Sooner" every time you read a new post.
Its not bad, but way too expensive. I would much rather eat somewhere else where I could get a burger just as good for far cheaper.
Think the OP needs to get out more. If you go to a restaurant and a steak is only a couple dollars more than a 5 guys burger, you probably aren't eating steak.
Also, 5 guys is much cheaper than most new style "Burger Bar" concepts.

I like Culver's burgers but their cheese curds suck and the fries are just average.
Demoncore, BE-Bops is a central Ia. hamburger chain, most of them are just a drive thru with some outside seating, I know at least one in Des Moines has interior seating. Good burgers at a reasonable price. Priced about like McDonalds but way better burgers. The one in Ames is on Duff probably a mile So. of Lincoln Way(just guessing on the distance)
I had my gallbladder removed and now I can handle greasy stuff again. Probably not a great thing, but before the gallbladder removal the stones just killed me.
How many of you just get a plain burger with cheese and ketchup? The greatness of 5 Guys is in the toppings - bacon, grilled onions and mushrooms, jalapenos, lettuce, mayo, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard. And none of that stuff costs extra, like it would be at many other burger joints. I can make a great hamburger patty at home for way less than B-Bops if you're really concerned about the price.
All of you guys eating all these $30+ steaks, why don't you just go to 5 guys and use your saved money as bag men?
I ate at 5 guys yesterday for the first time. After reading this I was expecting a terrible burger, disgusting fries and a $20 bill. None of the above. The burger patty itself was definitely better than most fast food but the awesomeness is the selection of 'free' toppings. Grilled mushrooms? Hell yeah. And I thought the fries were very good although a bit too salty for me. The bill was about where I would expect a 'gourmet' burger and a boat load of fries. The drink was definitely over priced and I didn't like their ketchup. Overall: B+
Maybe the location makes the difference. I was in Rochester and I think it's a fairly new one.

Don't know about the cheese...probably costs extra.
Nope thats the great thing about 5 guys you can pile many different topping on for no extra charge.
For example my Friday lunch is:
1 - Cheeseburger with grilled mushrooms, onions, ketchup, mustard and A1
and
1 - Little Cheeseburger with grilled mushrooms, onions, ketchup, mustard and A1
mmmm I can't wait for lunch
