I just sent this to a group of friends last night. I've never been, but have some friends who RAVE about it. I've always wanted to at least try it.

Personally, I'm not too excited. My wife and I ate at one in Tennessee. The hamburger was fine. Way too many fries that we had to waste. Nothing to get excited about.

What size did you get? The first time I went there I got too many as well since they top them off. But at least you won't leave hungary.

Five guys is good, same with Whataburger and In-N-Out burger, which I have eaten at all three. All are very good burgers. The thing about food now a days is that something will only be raved about for a couple years before something new comes along. Five Guys was all the rage 10 years ago, but now has lost that since more restaurants have opened up. Shack Shake will be the same way in probably a several years.

I knew about this weeks ago but I didn't want to burn my inside sources.

I like the burgers a lot, not a huge fan of the fries.

If I'm in Des Moines I'm more likely to go to Zombie Burger if I'm going to a burger joint.

Same here, I've had it in Arizona when visiting my daughter and I wasn't as wowed as everyone made it out to be.

However, Fuzzy'ss Taco's now that exceeded expectations!
