  There's lot of choices around Vernon Hills. Five guys, Portillos, Smash Burger, Tom & Eddies, Red Robins, etc.
  I had to somewhat compare when I do burger shopping with my wife. Our usual go to place is Portillos or Wendy's due to burger quality for price we pay. Sometimes we do get spoil and spend $10 more to get Smash or Five guys.
  My wife says she likes the freshness of the burger from five guys, but to me they takes too long to cook and play around food too much while they cook our burger.
  I like the business of the Portillos where always packed with customers and you see employees have no time for joke to play around.
  
  Price for five guys usually go over $20 for two burgers and a fries. Near $30 for five minute enjoyment.
  
  It really does hurt my wallet for the freshness my wife always mention. The taste...
  
  To me it isn't too bad, but it had to with the cook who seasons the meat or not. To be honest, I don't really like the taste of the burger here at five guys, but maybe it's just me.
  
  If you like to spend extra bucks for a little freshness then I guess five guys won't be a bad choice, but wait time is much longer than other joint which can be good and bad depends on you.

  Five Guys is a decent burger place. The fries are pretty great, and they give you a ton of them, even if you get the smallest size. The actual burger is better than anything you could get from your average fast food place, but nothing outstanding. It is a little over priced, especially if you want anything additional on your burger.
