I took the question to be more of "what is Five Guys like?" and less of "what is as good as Five Guys?"

no, it's a solid comparison. i'm just passionate enough about smashburger's deliciousness that i felt it's superiority needed to be stated.

I've never been to a Smashburger. There are some around here. Maybe I should check it out.

There's one in Austin but it's in the really far south part of town. I'll check it out if I'm down there, thanks for the recommendation Spoika.

I hate how it's nearly impossible to get seated at Kuma's Corner without waiting for 2 hours. The burgers are good, but not worth wasting half your day for.
