A few weeks ago, I finally had Five Guys Burgers.

Being from the West Coast, In-N-Out is THE burger/fast food chain, but now that I’m in the South, Five Guys is the place to be. So what’s the verdict?

Fries: FIVE GUYS (hands down) - the Idaho potatoes, the thicker fries, and crispy skin were tastier and crunchy in the right places.

Burgers: The Five Guys cheeseburger consists of a slice of cheese between two meat patties and you can literally cater your toppings to create a grilled cheese sandwich if you really wanted. The main difference from In-N-Out is that the burger does not contain the “Special Sauce.” Both are very fresh and cooked to order. The juicy meat does compensate for the lack of Special Sauce, so currently undecided.

Value: In-N-Out - for $2, I can get a deliciously fresh burger.

What do you think, In-N-Out or Five Guys?
