    Unless you get the promoted deals it’s starting to be like that everywhere. Near me if im getting two burgers and two fries, I spend less at five guys than I do at burger king. Why would I ever go to BK?

      Even FG is unreasonable.

      My wife and 6YO kid went to FG last week and spent $27 on a meal for two and they split the fries.

      A few ounces of meat, 50 cents of soda, a couple potatoes and an arguably 2 nice quality rolls. That meal cost them $5. Even with inflated labor it should be more like $15.

          I would kill for an in-and-out burger on the East Coast. You can get a burger, fries, and drink for less than an Five Guys cheeseburger.

          Five Guys at least has better food than most fast food and the portions are so massive you basically have to share

        Five guys has been bad for a while. Super expensive for a really greasy burger. I had to stop eating there several years ago.
