<![CDATA[Five Guys or SmashBurger]]>I have eaten at Five Guys probably 20 times. The food (dbl bacon cheeseburger) is always good and the staff is very friendly.

I decided to try SmashBurger tonight. The lady that took our order wasn't friendly at all. The BBQ bacon cheese burger I had was just alright and tasted just like a Culvers BBQ bacon cheddar burger with the exception of the egg bun. The IBC root beer float I had was good though.
I'll give SmashBurger another chance at satisfying me.

Just seeing what other opinions on the two are.

Maybe.

I'd rather sit across the street and throw snowballs trying to knock the signs out of their hands.
Actually, I haven't noticed any 'walkers' down there lately.
(although once it got good and cold I quit leaving the office anytime during the day)

But yeah, place seats 26 and is usually packed for at least a couple hours over lunch.
Get there around 11:15 or closer to 2 and its not bad.
Fortunately it's a half block from work and they do to-go.

I'm more of a fan of fat burger.

I'll have to try smashburger soon though.

I enjoyed both 5 guys and smash burger. I personally liek 5 guys' fries better but all around there both good.
