The Take
Order the little bacon cheeseburger with all the fixings, skip the bun, and double the fries at Five Guys. Slop Score 29.
The never-frozen 80/20 beef and refined peanut oil deliver real flavor without seed oil sludge or fillers. Everything else gets buried under buns, shakes, and servings built for two people minimum.
This is the nostalgia trap for guys who want to feel like they escaped fast food without actually escaping it.
The Verdict
Five Guys gives you solid ingredients but packages them as an exercise in excess. The basedOrder is the little bacon cheeseburger with all fixings, no bun, plus double fries. Avoid milkshakes and regular bun burgers without modifications.
Buy the modified little burger and extra fries to split the damage. Slop Score 29.
