Guys Burgers

[billh360]

DW and I won't get a chance to try Guys burgers until 4/28/2012. I have seen lots of good things said about them. I was just wondering if they are as good as 5 guys.

[BSQ]

I think they are better!

[LuckyZ]

1800 calories per burger better

[mrmet1986]

i never had them, but i doubt a burger on a cruise ship is going to be better than 5 guys. if they were that good they would charge

1800 calories per burger better

 

no way I would waste 1800 calories on a burger

[LoveCruising2012]

I also think 5 Guys burgers are better and I would not waste the calories! I would leave those for drinking.

Just for the burger and bun???? How could that be? Or is that with all sorts of sinful things on it, mayo, cheese, fried onions, etc etc.? Or maybe including the fries that come with it too?

the meat that they use are really fatty to make them good and juicy.I havent researched it but a piece of cheese is around 120 calories ,fried onions arent that bad.Mayo is I think 90 calories per tablespoon.If its the correct calories its because mostly of the meat

Not really true! It's and 80/20 burger....no "fattier" than what most buy at the grocery for their burgers at home.

Here is the menu...

Yeah, that would have to be one HUGE piece of meat and/or somehow infused with extra fat that doesn't cook away!:eek: I'm leaning towards it has to be a calorie count for more than just the meat and bun.. (I hope, I hope:p)

I am think the "whole" meal - fries, condiments, etc - and one of the burgers with all of the sauces, cheese and bacon.

Not just the "plain jane" burger! ;)

Bet that there is a huge piece of butter in there somewhere.

 

Always thought there current burgers were excellent and dont need a heart attack on a bun.

An entire stick of butter is only about 800 calories! lol only

that seems alittle bit better ,but I can find many ways to get almost my daily calories from a burger and fries.Not at all saying its not awesome, but I dont want to eat 4000 calories a day while on vacation.Takes too much of my vacation time on the treadmill onboard :)

Guy burgers are better and are Free not 5.99.

Well, I was just on Liberty's 3/3/12 sailing and I ate my share of Guy's Burgers. They are very good. I think I ate about 6 of them.

[RTRMom]

Personally five guys didn't live up to the hype to me. Hated the fries, the burger was good, but not worth the price.

 

 

I can't wait to try Guys Burgers sometime...

Not that you can believe everything you read on the internet....but here are a couple of articles I found about the burgers - including one by cruise critic:

1800 calories? I don't eat that much in a day. No thanks to the heart attack on a bun.

Up to..... :rolleyes:

[RTRMom]

Probably skipping the onion ring would save a lot of calories. Haha. The plain Jane sounds reasonable, to at least try once.

[golfadj]

I would try one but 6 on a cruise wow!
