| - Ask an East Coaster and they'll say that Five Guys serves up the best burgers ever. Before Five Guys arrived in Vegas, the folks off the "wrong coast" would show up in town, insult our beloved In n' Out, and say we didn't know a great burger because we'd never had Five Guys.
Well now that Five Guys is in town, it's Game On. And the outcome in the question of who serves up a better burger? I'd love to deliver a definitive winner, but I'm calling it a tie.
There's no doubt that Five Guys serves up a delicious burger--a greasy, thick, delicious burger. The ground beef they use makes one of the best, if not the best, burger patty in fast food. It's a thicker patty than In n' Out and juicier. Take a bite and a mixture of grease and cooked meat juice will run down your fingers. Favorite toppings? Five Guys probably has them and will load up your burger with most toppings without an extra charge (grilled onions, jalapenos, mushrooms, etc.) Pretty impressive for a fast food chain.
If there's anything that gives an edge to Five Guys, it's the fries. If you get the fries with "cajun seasoning," they come out tossed in delicious Old Bay seasoning -- think spicy and peppery without lighting your tongue on fire. Old Bay is a rarity in Las Vegas and I'll head here just to get those fries.
Bottom line: As Samuel L. Jackson would say "Mmmmmm . . . This IS a tasty burger!" One of the best burgers in the valley for the price.
