Saw one of these in my travels a few days ago, then just yesterday was admonished to try them by a FB friend. Any input before I add another .010" of plaque to my artery walls?

I'd be surprised if you like them based on previous posts. Though I happen to think they have a very tasty burger and fries; but as you indicated, it's not a place someone goes if they're concerned about their cardiovascular system.

Chug down 4 ounces of EVOO with 4000mgs of Omega 3 before hitting that joint.

Why am I thinking Wendy's? I'll have to get the kiddy/senior burger next time I'm in Dodge. (Spokane Valley)

You forgot to mention the fifty-pound bag of oats.

They are ok. I would rather have a Whataburger but the chances of getting one up here in 3-land are slim...and NONE!

Did 5 Guys today. The cheese burger was excellent, the fries were very good, the peanuts were stale and very salty.
Good, old fashioned hamburgers. The fresh, non frozen meat makes all the difference.
Not at all like tasteless Wendy's.

Wendy's meat is fresh and non-frozen (I prefer the chicken with a side-salad instead of fries). High carb content doesn't agree.

Had a fantastic burger at the local bar for lunch yesterday; dive joint that the work guys have been going to for at least 20 years now (water, not alcohol). Nice folk and the food is always good or better. Lost my wedding ring; no schidt. It was there when I wiped the burger juice off my hand and the next minute, gone. We looked all over for it and Renee (waitress) even scoured the trash. No luck. Told the xyl when I got home and she said "So, I can finally get you something for Christmas?" Tha's my girl... Wore that ring for about 30 years.

My only fine (no big deal) criticism of the cheeseburger yesterday is the lettuce was a bit wet (probably good because it means they rinse it) and the fried mushrooms were a bit much in addition to the lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mayo. I hate mustard on a hamburger, so had that held. Next time I'll ask for the "shrooms" on the side.

Ooooo. You could get a Tungsten Carbon Fiber ring. ;)
