I can easily consume 2 large fries and a bacon cheeseburger with everything and a shake.

My first time going i had no idea about the secret fry ratio. So i ordered 3 meals ALL with large fries. You ever try to eat 20lbs of fries?
natachan
And charge him a 20 for it
blarglebrle
Double cheeseburger and fries is 2 bags. Bag 1 is burger and fries. 2nd bag is completly filled with more fries.

Foist upon them... +1 sir.

Former 5 guys employee here, we're trained to fill the cup then do an as-large-as-possible extra scoop. It's supposed to be a fuckload
SamLasssy
This is not something to complain about.
JHawke
Nor is it extraordinary or anything unless you only compare it to mcdonalds wendies BK and such.

Last time I went to Five Guys I got fries with my burger, they put in the container of fries in the bag and that was it. I felt betrayed.
jayar1st
Shhh. It's awesome. Don't make them feel weird about it or they might stop.
justsignedupforthishit
Also can confirm. Takes a while, but also eats a while.
nicktahou
I ordered a large fries and now my clothes, my home and my extended family are all soaked in grease.

The bad five guys locations don't do this. Lack of sack craftsmanship.
PineappleMigraine
I can understand why you didn't write 'sacksmanship'

That will be $1.99

Where I live, a 5 Guys double cheeseburger, fries, and a soda runs $15. Local bars have better burgers and charge a lot less.
trigonman3
So what you're saying is, you hang out in bars a lot.
Fargus57
No, that 5 Guys is overpriced and that I really don't like thinly pressed burgers that have all the taste cooked out of them.
trigonman3
Ok, sounds like you're not their kind of customer. No worries.
SometimesSketchy
Well u shouldnt be putting "little fries" in quotation marks then!
ilikeyourpics
Am I getting stumped by my five guys? I only get like 1/3 a bag on a large fries.
trigonman3
Are they kinda girthy? You might be getting stumped.
Arkmer
Fuckin' love eating five guys.

This is either a double entendre, or it isn't.

Don't you dare mock what I love about them!@

At some time you have to think about portion control. Many people can’t (or won’t) think about it for themselves, hence the obesity crisis.
PrincessNakedMoleRat
5 Guys is too expensive to be the cause of the obesity crisis. Cheap food at the grocery store is the main culprit.
pfsar
It’s not Five Guys in isolation, it’s the whole arms race between fast food providers that has led to ridiculous portion sizes.

The internet gave me an unreasonable craving for Five Guys. I'm ashamed at how thrilled I am at their opening in Milan.
WKBetafiggit
The size efers to the size of the cup. The ammount of fries is basically the same, that is, all who can fit in the bag.
WKBetafiggit
Five guys is awesome, BTW.
onecowboytoo
Went tonight before closing. Wanted two fries. Only enough fries for one. Refund for fries when I picked up. They said not enough fries.
MechaNinja
They're really good fries. But they basically put your burger and a fry carton in the bottom of the bag, then fill the bag with fries.
MoreOftenThanNot
As a studying english major, thank you for "foist"
EwokDude
I can't seem to find a balance with my local 5 Guys. If I get large fries my family finishes & wants more if I get two I get a week's worth.
MonsterMunch
What is this place? Nirvana?
iCantImager
To be honest the fries kinda suck, good burgers though.
rianocerous
My first time there I ordered a regular fry for myself....
Teckle
The first time I went my friend and I both ordered large fries, i was in a food coma for a long ass time after that
SjVe
I ordered a large fry in a drunken state, didn't even make a dent

I made that mistake as well.

My one and only time going to five guys their deep fryer was broken. No fries for me. Drove 30 miles for nothing :/
Arathius8
Me too! Now I order a small for two people.
skolyr
My ex absolutely loved fries & would eat all of hers and half of mine at other places. So naturally I ordered 2 larges our first time there.
mysticarchives
If you ever end up in Pittsburgh take her to Primanti Brothers and order Primanti sized street fries.

I feel like the employees ought to have warned you.

Who the hell complains about getting a ton of 5 Guys fries?
onecowboytoo
The people who complain about getting a big bag of Dick's in Seattle.
SickOfThisCessPool
This is a euphemism for dicks, right?
bioshockisagoodgame
Can some please go order a fries and take a pic please.. I'm from Australia and don't understand
usuallurker
Seconded
Kaoss01
I second this comment. Took me a while to figure out that "5 guys" was a food chain and not a poorly worded work joke
ilovecake
Chips. They take a drink cup, fill with chips, dump it into the paper bag, and then fill it up again and place filled up in bag.
trigonman3
What they do is fill a paper cup of (potato) fries. They put that in your paper bag. Then they put at least that many more fries in as well.
SuzetteTheSmoreSchnappsGirl
i always wondered why the cup? they don t use it to put the fries in the bag because its always covered by more fries
trigonman3
It might be a counting thing: "we made (cups we had, minus cups we have) many orders". This is a guess; I've never food-serviced before.
RevolutionOnHerLips
If you put ALL the fries in the cheap bags they use the grease would tear through the bag on your way out of the door
SuzetteTheSmoreSchnappsGirl
but the fries are always in the bag more than the cup

I just googled them and read that a large fries is a massive 1300 calories. That's a sensible calorie intake for a person for an entire day

LlamaLingo
Wrong. On food packaging it usually says 2500/d for men and 2000/w, but in reality it's slightly more than that
Kaoss01
Where I live, max recommended calorie intake is around 1800,however for the Average person who doesn't exercise, 1200 calories prevents 1/
Kaoss01
Weight gain. However, this differs in each person. My point was, one cup of fries is almost if not an entire RDI of calories.
Kaoss01
And on a side note, I don't trust what food companies tell me on their packaging...
BakedBakunin
That's the food industry man. Idk if you've ever counted calories but unless you do some lifting/etc. no office job man needs 2.5k calories.
Kaoss01
Unless they intentionally wanna get fat
TORGUEFROMPANDORA
Can confirm, went to 5 Guys with, coincidentally, 5 guys. Had them split 1 large fry between the 5 of us and we still didn't finish them all
waphles317
I think they toned it down recently. I'm a little guy, but I finished a bacon cheese burger and large fries last night. It was a challenge.

TheSourceGamer
Where are you getting all these fries? When I get a large and a burger, the bag's not even full, half at the most with a 2 party and fry.
OmegaJP7
Never been to this place
MaladaptedMedic
Thank you for your contribution to this thread
dreadpiratekhan
Then... Why comment?
RobertNAdams
...what? Really? I've never been to Five Guys, seriously how big are these fries?
ikindafail
When I went with my mom, we both got a burger, and we shared a small fry. We didn't finish the fries.
MiguelConQueso
Literally what they do is take the fry container size you ordered, place it in a brown bag, and just start shoveling fries into the bag
RobertNAdams
I kinda want a picture of this insanity.
