Five Guys

[Geoff Miller]

Recently a branch of an Eastern(?) premium hamburger chain called Five
Guys opened up in a new strip mall not far from where I work in north
San Jose. The strip mall also offers a Chipotle, a Panda Express, a
Panera, and some salad place called Happy Tomato or something.

Five Guys seems to be a direct competitor to the established In-n-Out
Burger chain. But there are some differences. There are high,
free-standing tables with stools instead of built-in booths, for one
thing. And a nice gimmick is that peanuts in the shell are offered as
appetizers. Red, white and black checkerboard is the dominant
decorative motif.

There aren't any Jeezemoid Bible passages on the bottoms of the cups,
that I've noticed. Some people get exercised about that in the
context of In-n-Out, for some reason. They're probably the same folks
who feel threatened by the fact that Chick-Fil-A closes on Sundays so
that their employees can go to church if they want. Being a confirmed
"apathist," I couldn't give a rat's ass, either way.

The burgers themselves are good, if noticeably greasier than the ones
at In-n-Out. They also offer hot dogs, which I have yet to try. The
fries are thick-cut and exceptionally good.

My main beef (heh...) with the place is that it's so damned noisy. At
the height of the lunchtime rush, it's downrght cacophanous. I'm
really tired of noisy restaurants, fast-food or otherwise.

You didn't mention the main difference between it and In-N-Out, and why Five
Guys isn't a 100% direct competitor with it: Five Guys has no drive thru
service, and all In-N-Out's do.

I've been two Five Guys. The burgers at its South San Jose location have
been wonderful, while the burgers at their Sunnyvale location have been
always a bit dry. Also the fries at their South San Jose location have been
better than the fries at their Sunnyvale branch. One of these days when I'm
in the area I'll probably visit the new one you wrote about on North First
Street near Target.

This particular Five Guys is the only one I've ever seen. It wasn't
apparent to me whether its lack of a drive-thru was characteristic of
the chain, or just because it's in a strip mall rather than in its own
free-standing building.

If you go on a weekday, I recommend getting there by 11:30 or waiting
until after 1:00. Since the shopping center it's in is located at the
edge of an industrial area, parking is a Klust-R-Fuk(tm) at lunchtime
-- expecially with construction going on.

If I visit it, it will probably be for dinner after 7:00 PM or on a weekend
afternoon. Occasionally, I'll drop by that Target to pick up something
since it's a Target that has good selection of items that are actually in
stock. The closest Target to where I live is smaller and often times
doesn't have the items I'm looking for in stock.

That's the place. Why it took so long to get built on is an
interesting question. With so little open space remaining in the San
Jose area, it's strange that some spots remain vacant for as long as
they do.

The area around that intersection is a local hotspot of construction
at the moment. The office building on the northwest corner has been
demolished with a new structure of some sort well on its way to
completion, and the one on the southwest corner, across the sidestreet
(Vista Montan~a) is being demolished now.

There's a big hotel adjacent to the strip mall where Five Guys is
located, with a multistory Brocade Networks complex right behind it.

The American Airlines Mad Dog to DFW goes right overhead.

Two nearby eateries that I don't visit nearly often enough are those
two Mexican places right across 237 in Alviso, Rosita's and Maria
Elena's.

There's also a place out by the levee called Vahl's that's been there
just about forever. The dining room is a relic of the '50s, if not
earlier. It has a good bar.

WHAT? So you can't afford to eat at a place that doesb't have COUPONS?
Sounds like such a waste of working 40+ hour's a week steve if you can't
afford to eat Five Guy's. I make 9.90 a hour and work less then 30 hour's a
week AND I CAN AFFORD TO GO.

And yet you claim your life is better then mine.

The service is usually pretty fast considering they don't start cooking your
burger until you order it. But if you want to save time, you can even order
ahead online via your computer, or using their iPhone or Android apps.

You sound like Tim. How often would you actually eat there, even if
you *did* patronize the place? I suspect what you spent there would
be lost in the proverbial noise.

Personally, I don't go out of my way to shoot money out of a cannon.
But on the relatively rare occasions when I do eat out (twice a week
for lunch and virtually never for dinner), I buy what I want, when and
where I want it. Fuggit. "Life is too short," &c.

I only ever patronize Five Guys at lunchtime, when cooking at home
isn't an option. And rarely, at that. It's been about six weeks.

As far as coupons are concerned, I consider them a bonus, not a _sine
qua non_. (Don't you hate it when some hoity-toity asshole quotes
Latin -- or worse, French -- without providing a translantion?)

On the basis of my personal, empirical observation, you'd probably be
on your way sooner if you parked and went inside to place your order
at any fast-food place that offers a drive-through.

Yes, they're a legitimate fast-food restaurant.

Maybe three minutes, at the height of the lunchtime rush -- about the
length of time you'd have to wait for a Filet O'Fish at McDonald's.

But bear in mind, like In-n-Out, they cook every order fresh; there's
no bin of prepared food like McDonald's has during busy periods.

Also, you have those free peanuts to munch on while you're waiting.
That helps to take the edge off your hunger. And like most fast-food
places nowadays, they have a self-serve soda fountain, so you'd be
able to wash down the peanuts (and their salt) while you waited for
your burger.

FG ended up on the Zagat guide recently, and also on men's Health for the
incredible amount of fats, trans fats and salt in their regular burgers.

Fats and salt? Yes, there's a lot.

Trans fats? No - zero, zilch, nada.

I hadn't thought about the "peanuts as rugrat deterrerent" angle.
Probably because the only Five Guys I've been to, I think of as a
lunch spot for working people. Which isn't entirely accurate. There's
a residential area nearby (yes, people live near North First Street;
strange, but true), and I'm sure the place gets some "townie" business
on weekends.

But that's a great point. I'm curious whether it's deliberate, a
subtle way of attracting the ever-more-vocal childfree crowd.

I was wondering how they'd have gotten trans fats into burgers.

But plain, old, garden-variety fat? Absolutely. I'm not prone to
Food Fear(tm), but even I feel a vague urge to eat salad for three
days as dietary penance after having a burger at Five Guys. That
feeling has never struck me after eating at In-N-Out.

Which reminds me: I need to agitate for a trip to In-N-Out over at
McCarthy Ranch among my coworkers. Maybe it's less crowded now
that Five Guys has presumably siphoned off some of its business.

Oh, rugrats still frequent Five Guys (at least the ones in South San Jose
and Sunnyvale). What's missing is the over-protective mama rats (you know
those annoying ones that will ask a million and one questions about the food
before ordering anything, thereby slowing down the entire line to a crawl).

Costco food is horrible and "timmay" is a South Park reference.

Five Guys has to answer to the FDA for their claim. Men's Health can
publish whatever they want until they are served with a lawsuit.

"Timmay" is also a ba.food reference. I guess you had to be there.

I like Costco's chicken bake and ice cream stuff, and I find their
pizza decent enough. I've had it at the snack bar, and I've bought a
couple of the whole, boxed, bake-it-yourself pizzas they sell back in
the bowels of the store. They're not pizzeria grade, but they're a
quantum leap better than Domino's.

The way the health-o-meter needle is shakin' and swingin' and pointin'

name) is cooking their burgers in beef lard and their fries in coconut

This policy difference is probably why I'll get a Five Guys relatively
near me (that is, closer than the 25 mile drives over to Gilroy or
Salinas to the nearest In-N-Outs) before I get an In-N-Out anywhere
near me.

Santa Cruz residents have been clamoring for an In-N-Out, with
petitions and all that, but most of the cities have bans on
drive-throughs, save those already grandfathered in. This rules out
cities like Santa Cruz and Capitola.

The same is mostly true to the south of me, in towns like Marina and
Seaside. Petitions to In-N-Out, even a human sign in the
Target/REI/Kohl's complex near UFO (University of Fort Ord).

But In-N-Out generally insists on some key items: a standalone
building, not in a strip mall. And ownership by the company, not via
franchisees. And a drive-through.

Five Guys is much more loosey-goosey and will gladly colocate with
Panera, Pizza Hut, whatever. And they franchise. They're kind of like a
ho.....a hotel, yeah, that's the ticket!

For the record, I once entered the Five Guys in Sunnyvale, near the
Haunted Toys-R-Us.

My usual at an In-N-Out is just a single cheeseburger, grilled onions
on top. Not a Double Double, no fries, and certainly no soda water. So
I enjoy a relatively tidy meal for under $3.

Alas, I noted that the Five Guys prices _started_ at more than twice
this amount. Yeah, maybe their base burger is more like a Double Double
(for all I know), but the point is that if failed my basic test.

I walked next door to some taco place (a chain, but I've already
forgotten which one) and had a taco for about $3. It was OK.

It's not a matter of my not being able to "afford" more (the very word
"afford" is a travesty). It's that sometimes I just want a quick bite
for $3-4 and not a platter of food that will leave me feeling logy.
Which is no excuse to pay more for just a little food. This is why I
like a basic In-N-Out cheeseburger for about $3.

Tim's right, as much as it makes my gorge rise to say that in any
context. A guy who thought "sauce" was spelled "souce" wouldn't know
how to *begin* spelling "unfathomable."

Ah, Jerry. We hardly knew ye.

Steve, what you just said pretty much PROVES it's court-ordered. Do you
know what you would do if you bribed a judge? You would go to JAIL. And
your obviously not in jail right now, becouse your using a computer for the
internet. People in jail do not have internet-access, which is a fact I
sure your aleady familiar with.

certified moron.

Steve, you don't do community-service at fast-food stores. And, there is no
need at all to do a background chweck on you, becouse you have already
personally admitted to multpile illegal activity's, all of which is
google-able.

Oh and BTW.... I KNOW YOUR REAL NAME.
