Burgerfi vs Five Guys vs Shake Shack vs Smashburger
Burgerfi
Price - 2/5
Burger Taste - 3/5
Fries Taste - 1/5
Comments - I ordered a Burgerfi Burger and my husband build his own. The burgers were small for the price you paid. Taste wise, the fries were bland, and the burger was just okay. I enjoyed how little bun there was in comparison to the rest.
Five Guys
Price - 4/5
Burger Taste - 4/5
Fries Taste - 3/5
Comments - I order a Little Cheeseburger. That said, the fries will be hit or miss sometimes. Sometimes they are overcooked or over salted, other times there isn’t enough salt on the fries (both Five Guys style and Cajun). Toppings are plentiful, and the burgers are also massive for the price you pay imho. There is a nice bun to burger ratio. Taste wise, the burgers and even hotdogs are what you come here for.
Shake Shack (added 5.17.15)
Price - 2/5
Burger Taste - 5/5
Fries Taste - 2/5
Comments - I ordered a Shack Stack and Cheesy Fries. The stuffed mushroom was incredible, and I can’t stress this enough when I say this sucker contains endless amounts of ooey-gooey cheeses. The burger on top was definitely worth it, as it’s very juicy and delicous as well. I have had to modify the burger taste of Five Guys above from a 5/5 to a 4/5 to compensate for this because the Shack Stack is just that darned good. First time there, and will definitely be returning. Nice bun to burger ratio, but the fries had too little cheese sauce in my opinion. Price wise, it was very expensive, but honestly worth every penny.
Smashburger
Price - 3/5
Burger Taste - 2/5
Fries Taste - 5/5
Comments - I ordered a Spicy Jalapeno Baja and my husband ordered the Buffalo & Blue Cheese burger. There was far too much bun/bread in comparison to the rest of the burger. My guacamole was a squirt about the size of a half dollar. The Smash Fries were delicious. They are thin cut, but the rosemary and whatever else they put on them taste great. My husband’s Buffalo & Blue Cheese burger was alright just ok. You couldn’t taste anything other than blue cheese, but the blue cheese tasted awesome (if you’re into blue cheese).
Winner: Five Guys hands down. For the price you pay, the taste of both burger and fries, I can’t see myself going back to Burgerfi or Smashburger. Ever. I was surprised to not find enough reviews comparing the 3, so I figured I’d make my own. Hope this helps!
