Five Guys Burgers has been gaining in popularity in recent years, and for those who eat the burgers - there's no surprise there. What is a surprise of readers of the Zagat Survey though, is that Five Guys Burgers wasn't even in the top 5 burgers last year - but in the span of one year, managed to leapfrog everyone else to the top of the list.
Nancy Luna of the Orange County Register has more on this: "Zagat releases the often controversial results of its fast food survey — where chains are ranked in categories ranging from best burger to best value. And this year, Southern California chains took a beating, including Irvine-based In-N-Out and Costa Mesa-based El Pollo Loco. The biggest shocker of the 2010 results comes in the “best burger” category, where Five Guys Burgers & Fries ousted In-N-Out Burger. The timing of the results come as many local burger fans proclaim Five Guys as a worthy rival to In-N-Out.

Even more noteworthy – Five Guys didn’t even make Zagat’s Top 5 burger list last year. But suddenly it catapulted to the No. 1 position in the burger category, and the No. 2 spot for Best French Fries. (see rankings below)

They don't have one of these in my hometown..so I go to the one in Orlando, Florida, whenever I visit family. I have to say they probably have one of the best burgers that I've had.
