When Chad got home we headed out for a walk with Clara:
We did a quick two miles in this gorgeous weather and when we got home Clara went right back to her same spot…only a little more tuckered out:
And with a Chad lap to lay on π
We contemplated dinner on our whole walk and for a while after getting home but nothing was really calling out to us. Β Finally we decided just to get in the car and see what grabbed us on the way.
And that’s how I ended up eating my very first Five Guys burger.
The decor was cute!
The food was heavy.
I got a regular cheeseburger with pickles, onions, lettuce, ketchup and mustard then Chad and I split a regular order of cajun fries.
We both left saying that this would more than suffice as our yearly trip to Five Guys.
Off to watch a little Arrested Development then theΒ Bethenny!

Let me know how you feel later π I had five guys about 3 years ago and won’t go near it ever since — all that grease (plus the fries) just did not sit well with me. Oh and then after I ate them, I heard this little tidbit of info : http://www.nbcwashington.com/the-scene/food-drink/Five-Guys-Fries-Hate-Your-Arteries-78681172.html
Always important to indulge sometimes though! hehe
Cait says
Haha I definitely did not feel good. I’ll be happy if that’s my one and only Five Guys experience in my life! And yeah! I noticed how many fries they gave you! Craziness. Who on earth could finish all that?!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
People rave about 5 Guys…. but i’m with you. It’s a bit heavy for me. I do like the peanuts they have everywhere though. π
Cait says
Haha I noticed those! I should’ve just grabbed a handful of them and walked out!
Maura @ My Healthy 'Ohana says
I think there should be a disclaimer that everyone should order the Junior cheeseburger unless you have a huge appetite, the regular is just huge!
Cait says
Seriously! I wish I had looked it up before I got it so I knew a little more about what to order without feeling horrendous afterward!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I tried Five Guys for the first time several months ago and I didn’t like it. It was way too greasy and heavy for me. Once was enough for me π
Cait says
Totally – I’m completely with you there!
Emilie @ Emilie's Enjoyables says
5 guys is dangerously good, I’ve only had it once!
Cait says
I think I’m going to be right there with you!
Kim @ Spoonful of Sass says
Oh the life of a pup! I’m jealous! So cute though. π
Cait says
Haha I know right!? And thank you! I happen to think so π
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Five Guys was the last hamburger I ever ate before going vegetarian. I went out on top! π
Cait says
Ahahaha – I love that!
Kailey says
I may be a nutrition student, but five guys knows how to do burgers and fries. Seriously, their fries are like crack…can’t just have one.
Cait says
Hahaha – yeah they definitely were really good!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers says
Oooo, it’s been a while since I’ve had that greasy goodness. The flavor really is pretty amazing… if you can get past the grease. haha
Cait says
Haha yeah and the stomach ache that follows!
Shannon ~ My Place In The Race says
Oh their food is HEAVY! I think we eat there once every 2 years π
Cait says
Haha yeah – I think we’re going to be in that same boat!
Laura says
I actually ordered the mini hamburger with just lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. I thought it was delicious and not greasy at all! Maybe each location makes them differently re: the grease factor.
Cait says
Hmm maybe! Or maybe it was just the double layer of cheese on mine? It was definitely tasty, just really heavy! Next time I’ll definitely get the junior!
Kristen @ Swanky Dietitian says
So it wasn’t that great??
We just got one in Vegas and everyone seems to rave about it. I have yet to try it.
Cait says
Yeah that’s pretty much exactly why I wanted to try it…just because everyone talks about how good it was. I mean, it was good, but it definitely didn’t leave me feeling so great. It’s heavy!
CJ @ http://healthy-happy-whole.com says
I have never been to a 5 guys but our town just got one and everyone is so excited. my husband has been there a few times but never requests it since Chipotle is right next door. Nothing beats chipotle π
Cait says
I agree – we had that the other night!
