5 Guys - Not all are created equal, but hard to beat a good 5 Guys establishment

In and Out - A must every time I travel out west.

M Shack - a local chain here in Jacksonville. Fresh made burgers with a huge variety of toppings. Best thing they have is adult milkshakes...The apple pie (with Apple pie moonshine) and the Pecan Pie (with bourbon) are phenomenal.

We used to go to the original 5 Guys in Arlington, maybe it was being a kid or just the cost of major growth but their burgers aren't quite what I remember. That said, I would never pass an opportunity to go there. In-N-Out is always a good time, the kids really like their food and the price is pretty good for what you get. While technically not the best, we always have to hit Tommy's when we're in LA. There's just something special about a place that puts chili on everything.

If we're going Chain Burger spots like fast food then I'm taking In N Out all day. Burgers are fresh, lots of good veggies and the price is ridiculously low. You can get a meal for $7. Tough to do that at even McDonalds anymore.

The reason I put it above Five Guys is because Five Guys is expensive and to much. I always feel like shit afterwards. Have never felt bad after a meal at In N Out.

I've never really loved Five Guys' burger... maybe I'll give them another shot.

And ditto, wab, double QPC from Micky D's hits the spot sometimes.
Love Au Cheval. It reminds me of a place in Portland, OR called Stanich's. It got rated the best burger in the US.

Smashburger is really good. If I had to rank them, here in Chicago?

Burger King Whopper (love those)
