Maybe the food is still fast, but it sounds like it's a different kind of food store, if that makes sense...
They're totally still fast food restaurants, but a level of customization is more expected at these places than typical places. In N Out has a secret menu of more food items, while Five Guys just has you choose your own toppings.
