• Which is better? In-N-Out or Five Guys? Tell us in our survey below.

Five Guys first opened in Washington, D.C. in 1986. In 2003 the chain began a major expansion that led to over 1,000 locations in 47 states, according to their website. A phone message left with Five Guys last month has gone unreturned.

In many ways, Five Guys rivals popular Southern California burger hub In-N-Out. Both serve a limited menu of burgers, french fries and drinks. Both emphasize fresh ingredients. Both even have red and white tiles inside their stores.

There are some differences, though. In-N-Out offers milkshakes, but Five Guys doesn't. Five Guys offers lots of toppings for their burgers like mushrooms, barbecue sauce and bacon, but In-N-Out doesn't.
