Hubby and I love this joint. I also ordered the bunless burger and topped with onions and mushrooms. YUM

Yep when you say you want a burger - you get a double...now you can say "single burger please".......they taste so good.

I'm surprised that they only list 1'000 cals for their double burger and fries. I find that hard to believe.

The burger with the bun has to be almost 1'000 cals alone not including cheese and all the fixins and then they give you enough fries to fill a paper bag. That alone must be close to 1'000 cals. The last time I bought that combo I had enough fries for 3 days and wound up throwing the last bit away.

They list the 1/4 pounder combo meals at McD's for close to 1500 cals and their little quantity of fries are no where close to 5 guys.

One Beef burger is 280 calories (no bun)
Bun - 260 calories
Hot dog is - 285 calories
FRIES!!!! WOW, lots of calories there - 1/2 regular order is 310 (probably does not count all the ones they throw in the bag) Load 'em up!

They have great burgers. The fries are great too, but I've been fairly good when I go there about turning down the fries.
