Who's a fan?

Used to eat there all the time when I lived in DC, luckily Toledo just opened one up.
Forgot how good their bacon double cheeseburger is.

Columbus has two that I've been too. Not too bad. Like it better than Wendy's.

Four in Columbus, with another one coming soon (the local franchisee wants to have 20 in the next five years)

Polaris, about a mile east of 71
Grove City at 71 & Stringtown
Ohio State Campus - 11th & High
Easton Mall

coming Grandview, on West Fifth near Kenny Rd

Good once in a while - couldn't eat there every week, though.

I like it. Plus, their fries are "cholesterol free"! Found that funny when I read it on their menu!

Never been to one. Are they as good as In and Out Burger? If not, I won't bother.

I'd say it's at least as good as In and Out.

Also, LJ, what's so not good about them? Compared to any other quick burger place around they're pretty sweet.

I've said it before, the burgers taste like fair burgers. Growing up living on fairgrounds food every weekend, it's just not that appealing to me.

Is it officially open? Its over by Barrys on Secor and Central right?

If it has opened you can find me there sometime (maybe more) this weekend. I love the double bacon!

Great place. Burgers and great and the fries are just as good!

However, I refer to it as Five Girls... sounds so much better.

Opened up on Monday, it's right next door to barry's bagels right near costco. Went tonight around 8:15 and it was down to about a 15 minute wait. The girl who took my order said it's been like that all day, every day.

Double bacon is amazing.

Ate there when I lived in Baltimore, haven't been to the Columbus stores yet. Good stuff, but a little pricey.

Had it for the first time at the exchange on base yesterday and was very impressed for a fast food burger. The fries were pretty good too.

I ate at one in Detroit, and when they dumped the extra fries in the bag I was happy as hell :) Good stuff.

Hoping to finally give them a try when I'm in the Twin Cities for Thanksgiving, been meaning to sample them for a while.
